Nice, I'm packed up as high as I'm wanting to go with my packout system. I'm thinking of getting some more organisers, so I might get the reasonably new packout dolly for putting the other half on wheels too. And I'm sure the dolly would come in handy too...

I'm just getting started in HVAC and I got the wheeled tool chest and the 3 drawer tool box before I even knew what to expect. Now I have a Toughbuilt tool tote which works pretty well, but I'll eventually replace it with a Veto. The Milwaukee ones I mentioned rarely leave my vehicle now and I only use them to store extra batteries, power tools and large/extra/infrequently used hand tools. They're great for storage, but not-so-great for my trade (on the job site) haha.

The circle maker is used to actually cut holes in drywall. You first cut through the paper on one side, then do the same on the other side of the drywall. Then hit the finish side of the drywall with a hammer or even your fist, and suddenly you have a nice hole in drywall! I'd imagine it would also work for drop ceiling tiles, but I've never tried it.

Thanks for showing off your kit man. And I didn't know that Milwaukee tools were made in Germany... ... ...just kiddin'. I like those packout boxes though. Nice. Oh, and if you've not heard of the "pliers wrench" (by Knipex. Pronounce it however you like, haha), they are probably one of my favorite tools I've bought in the last few years. "Real tool reviews" does a pretty good job of going over and explaining them if I remember right. But maybe they're not good for your application(s). I keep finding them coming in handy for all sorts of tasks.
@scottstoolthoughts31906 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment! I am familiar with the Knipex Pliers Wrenches. I actually own two or three pairs. I like them a lot. Lately, though, I've been enamored with the Eifel Geared Plierenches, which are the precursors to the Knipex version. Patented by Josef Eifel in 1916, and made in Chicago. I also own three or four pairs of those. They're available on eBay all day long for cheap. I buy them, clean them up, and put them back into service. I don't know why, but I get a kick out of using century old tools to ply my trade!
@circle49226 жыл бұрын
Scott, Oh that's cool, I saw them in your videos. I'll have to check them out. Thanks for the tip too. Patents ruin innovation in most cases. Was just talking about this in regards to LEDs on impact/drill drivers on various forums and youtube. Are we expected to believe that Dewalt is the only company capable of integrating three LEDs around the head/chuch of a power tool? A child could see the obvious design flaw and suggest the even more obvious solution to this (two more $2 LEDs of course). No, it must be due to pantents - legaleze nonsense. Fuck the end user, right? Lol. I don't want to have to void my warranty to make the lighting on my tools usable. Nor do I want to, or have the option to in most cases, hold a light with my other hand or in my teeth - or wear a headlamp - just to illuminate the fastener/work. That's what the led on the fuckin' tool is supposed to be for! Lol, useless. I laugh, but only out of frustration. Haha. Peace.

I'm also a Locksmith and Access Control Tech. Recently I've moved away from Locksmithing in favor of commercial Access Control. I make a lot more money. I also use the Milwaukee Packout system. But, the only box I have tools in is the bottom box. The rest are dedicated parts box's. All the tools I need are in my two bags. I use to have Veto bags, but I think there ugly, too heavy and way to expensive. I now use the Milwaukee Packout Backpack for my Locksmith bag, and the Milwaukee Packout Tech bag for my Access Control bag. I use the big Packout box for wire, conduit and larger tools. I have other smaller Packout boxes dedicated to connectors, misc commercial lock parts, residential lock parts, Access Control parts, ext. I take the boxes I need in that are specific to the job. Oh, I full agree about buying high quality tools. I spare no expense. All my hand tools are either Proto, Snap-On, Knipex, or Klien. My power tools are all Milwaukee Fuel. Even my lock picks are the best money can buy, Peterson, and Mulipick.

Great video. Excellent point about not beating your tools to death and then dragging them into a customers home or office. Grungy tools and filthy tool boxes and bags look bad because they are. Your idea to keep bit boxes and organisers in the Veto is excellent. Veto should ditch those useless bit pockets and make pockets or catches sized to these bit bixes from Bosch and Milwaukee. Best way to sort them. I would also like your opinion on the mid size Packout box. Would it hold tools like pliers and screwdrivers upright with an organiser of some sort? I am thinking linesman pliers, channellocks, 6 in screwdrivrrs. Thanks again. Great rig.
@scottstoolthoughts31906 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! In answer to your question about the medium box, I don’t think it will handle tools standing on end. It is only 8.5 inches deep. I tried a pair of Channellock 430’s, and a Ratcheting Screwdriver, and neither would let the lid close with them standing on end. Hope this helps!

Scott, just found your channel and was watching. I am kind of confused by this video, you’re saying that you don’t take your packout on ruff-ins, but the only things that packout excels at soft tool bag storage (which you’re not using with your Vito), durability (which you don’t need if you’re not bringing it out on ruff-ins) and being the most expensive stackable tool solution. Storage; does pack out have a shop storage solution or a van storage solution? Health & safety; first aid kit, integration with dust extractor and I’m in VA much hotter than OH so a cooler is not a luxury item? Organization; Can you get different color boxes to reduce your cognitive load while working? Drawers; does your system offer them? Cart and trolley; can you get them? So I’d very much like for you to give me your opinion of why you think that the packout is Miles above the competition? I use DeWalt Tough System (need water tight and durable. Half the price of packout but definitely not half the quality.)on ruff-ins, and Bosch L-Boxx on trims, finals, power ups and in front of end-users.
