Probably not, but if you leave your packout and find somebody to help. When you get back all the extras that were on the new additions will be gone, no problem then.

[@OOMAN]

Biggest downside I see is having to deal with all that side stuff when you need to un-stack it to get stuff out of the bottom boxes or load it in your truck... I went with 2, 3, and 4 drawer units and keep my biggest/least used tools in the bottom box (with the NEAT Tools handle kit, thanks to you!) to minimize the unstacking. I'm a weekend warrior these days, just schlep my tools between my shop and my boys houses to help them on the weekends, so not having this stuff is not a deal breaker for me.

[@liesejunh]

@@OOMAN Milwaukee thought these things through pretty well. I was worried about it being too wide to make it through doors. However I saw pics of how to install them and they all have a bracket that attaches to the rail. The accessory then can attach and detach from the bracket to eliminate bulk when needed.

[@jasonbabila6006]

A lot of the innovative PACKOUT accessories were already being produced by people with 3D printers a long time ago, so now Milwaukee realizes they are losing out on sales with the aftermarket accessories produced by 3D printers, I’d still get aftermarket PACKOUT accessories made by anyone who makes accessories.

[@VCGConstruction]

I agree, aftermarket did the legwork on this one!

[@liesejunh]

Milwaukee is pretty much the Apple of the tool world. Apple opened up an App Store for third party devs to make apps. As some apps become successful, Apple makes an in house version and drives the 3rd party out of business. Pretty much what Milwaukee is doing here.

[@scrumdiddlyumptious73]

The biggest problem I had with the 3D printed stuff was the final look of it with the rough finish and layers not to mention the fragility of the parts. I'm glad to see the Milwaukee accessories to be honest and I assure that there is still plenty of market for the guys who design and print the pieces. There was one awesome aftermarket accessory I loved and it was the front plate that allowed a crate or extra box to go on the front. It was called the Joey or something like. It was metal also so very strong and nicely finished

[@BuffaloWarrior7]

3D printing has forced Milwaukee to offer affordable attachments. Love it. I want a half size dolly to fit into small spaces. I love their "ammo can" storage box. I can fit an install driver, impact driver, m18 hammer drill. Some batteries, 3 sets of bits/drills, small level, stud finder, tape measure, wire stripper, pliers. Then in a thin a half size organizer. I have screws, marking tools, a center punch. I also have the 2.5 gal wet/dry vac. And with that kit I can do a whole lot of general maintenance and work around the restaurant. And clean up afterwards. Access cooler radiators and clean them. Mount things. Take apart the ice machine. Tighten all the screws on the bar stools. But I need to take 2 or 3 trips because while they all stack together. You have to unstack for transport. I do have the full size box with wheels where I throw larger tools and stuff I might need. And I can stack and move everything in one trip on that. But it's just necessarily wide. I don't do construction. Just handyman/restaurant maintenance type work. A compact half size dolly would be awesome.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Good video Vince. The thing is I don't want crap hanging off the side of my Packout. The wider profile definitely makes more likely to scratch door trim. I just don't like it maybe it's me.

Not just you, it’s a valid point especially in finished spaces.

[@fuadramsey3]

@@VCGConstruction @eletricianron Some look like they'd be perfect "While Working" but you put the stuff away before leaving for the day. Like the bin tray and the large tool holder.

[@sailingnoboundaries]

Milwaukee might have found one way to solve the problem of carrying large items or tools need to be close at hand, etc., but they’ve created security problem. Now I have to have a secure job site or secure location to store my boxes all the time. Pack out security was one of the main reasons I moved away from my buckets because I now had drawers and locks. This returns me to having tools hanging out in the open, and we all know that tools seem to find legs during lunch.

I honestly get super excited whenever Milwaukee releases more pack out stuff. Most of my garage is all pack out. I got boxes for all the different jobs I do. If I'm doing drywall I'll grab my drywall boxes. If I'm doing trim I'll grab the trim boxes. I got it all organized for the different jobs I do so I love when they add more versatility to the system

[@kenday7942]

The Milwaukee Pack out system is very, very nice! Unfortunately I had committed to another system before these were available.

[@gandalfthegreen8944]

they need to make a cart stand the same height as the big bottom box that clips around so when you eventually do have to unstack you can just set them right over.

[@jeffh7021]

I have one of the wet/dry vacuums, and when the battery is installed, you had nowhere to put one of the adapters. A ten minute trim job fixed the issue. I shared it on their site. I'm curious to see if they have altered the design to adress that.

[@alinnen6659]

Get me a few boxes that open in front so I don't have to unstack the whole thing every time and I might be interested in this style of system.

[@alexisarevalo1757]

What about the rolling tool box doesn’t attach to a mounting plate to secure in the truck? 😢

[@jeremyh4822]

The tool bag is really nice and works well as it stores plenty of items vertically in the pouches for easy reach and drill/driver in the larger side. As a handy homeowner, I don't have/need a packout stack and agree this bag does not add value on top of one with it tipping and not hiding things from sight for security reasons. The clips on the bottom, though, have been pretty handy to carry my packout vacuum or the smaller box I used "plastic foam" to make a custom socket-set case to double the shoulder strap's usefulness in carrying more hands free.

[@thaitiger]

Biggest flaw in most modular systems is the need to unstack and stack constantly to reach inside your boxes. It wears thin if you have no space to lay out your boxes safely in jobs. For the amount of money these systems go for , I believe the base system should have been the pull out drawer now available. And to have the flip open boxes on the top.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

[@jessesandstrom1548]

I use the dolly all the time it's held up nice for me

[@velocitygamingretro9654]

I get your asking for solutions but if you mount your big tools on the side. It defeats the purpose of having the big rolling box. I like the caddy it's convenient. I think it's just being EXTREMELY picky expecting your tools to be out and the open when the whole purpose of having a toolbox is to lockup and store away. The dolly is a great idea for carrying other heavy items. A transformer, boxes, bricks, etc. 2 in 1. Biggest issue with putting your important tools exposed on side. They could get knocked off while in transport. You really don't want to lose your most important tools. I say stop being lazy move the caddy, disconnect your boxes. lay them out and get to all at once. Vince complaint goes against the whole entire reason why rolling tool boxes exist. To transport your tools easier and keep them stored and secure.

[@stevevetter8045]

The biggest drawback to the packout is the wheeled box All their effort should have been put into solving the access to bottom box and collapsing the handle to fit under a tonneau cover Every other accessory is secondary.

And yes the big trolley is too much money for what it is, I've had mine for well over a year and probably used it around 15 times.

I’m big fan, yes they do have some issues. I do not like vans so I drive my Tahoe, but I have my Tahoe equipped with the entire pack out system. You cannot wait to see the lineup in January of this year. Hopefully the rolling bin with the drawer solves a lot of my issues. keep making your awesome videos. I love this channel bro.

[@chrisj2024]

Honestly, I love my pack out. have the big two stack bottom box for all my big tools. The drill bit sets that fit the slim organizer are awesome, have a full slim organizer full of drills and bits at the ready for whatever I need. Most of the accessories here, I don't see the need for, but the battery one would be great to keep full batteries at the ready when I am working. Sure I'm like everyone hate to do the pack out restack, but I remember when I had to make 5 trips to the truck for all my tools, now load up my two stacks on the bottom box and all the tools and hardware I could need are right there with me. Glad I went with Milwaukee Pack out, it has been a great system. Wallet hurts from all the pieces I have bought, well over 2,000.00 now in pack out, but it keeps my tools organized and easy to transport. Which is a huge win for me. VINCE - Can you review the 15 Pack out structured bag next. It is 250.00 versus the 100.00 bag you had in the video ????

For me as a service worker that exact same soft tote is just perfect. Got all the handtools, screwdriver and smack the small half size with screws and fixings on the shoulder and im good to go! Then the ladder and organizer in my hand to the customer. When done just smack them on my packout in the van and strap up and ready to leave.

it looks like some of those side storage attachments exceed the bottom of the packouts, so when you unstack, it would make them not sit evenly on the floor. are they adjustable so that the mounts could be at the very bottom of the attachment?

Thanks for the video Vince. It would seem that these new attachments just make new problems. When you inevitably have to unstack it to get something out of a box odds are the accessories will touch the ground before the bottom of the box does. Same goes for the long tool attachment. If you want to take a box off you’ve gotta take out all the long tools. New stuff is always great, but these new products aren’t a silver bullet.

[@ronrunion502]

When Milwaukee builds a rolling Packout with drawers only, I’m interested. Tired of having to unhorse all the boxes to get a tool out of the bottom or middle box. Till then my Packout setup stays home, no more spending $$$$ on less than great boxes. Tools still kick butt.

[@Richie_RS]

I currently have festool systainers for on site work and was considering changing to packout but i think the systainers are more practical. How often can you wheel that whole packout system to your job? Stairs or steps even are a big problem. They dont even have top handles so you can carry the things 🤷‍♂️.

[@bravowhiskey4684]

The Milwaukee dolly excells with the wall cabinet and 1-2 drawer units on top, capped off with a crate or organizers. Not with repurposed boxes from the old stack.

[@draco89123]

That's my exact setup, with a low profile small part organizer as the lid to my crate. Cabinet then 3 drawer, then 2 drawer, then crate, then low profile on top. Everything is one pull away. And my most used tools just have a regular tool bag I got from Makita part of their Impact/Hammer Drill kit. Easy to shoulder the bag and pull the Packout stack.

[@b3owu1f]

I feel like some of this stuff.. can be 3d printed. The things to hold batteries, long rulers, etc.. should all be easily 3d printed. My primary complaint is having to take 2, 3 or more boxes off the top to get to the bottom. I think the bottom unit with drawers instead of lid makes FAR more sense for the bottom unit.

What about a front opening or a large slide out bin bottom box? You might lose space, but your big tools are accessible without unloading, lockable, and don't hang off the side so you can get through doorways. Might be a good spot to mount chargers and battery racks with the weight low. Jus' sayin'!

[@VideoArchiveGuy]

You can easily get the bails on those bottom latches open.

[@firemipspy1198]

Hmm, I use packout. My biggest problem with the system is that I have to unstack the boxes to get to stuff in the bottom. So the job site starts to have packout boxes spread out everywhere. Putting stuff out in the open on the side seems like a great idea until you throw your stuff in the back of your truck and it starts raining. Last time I checked you don't want batteries sitting out in a down pour. This seems like a bad idea. What Milwaukee needs to do is redo their bottom box with a side opening and concentrate on side access.

[@brandonhackley7067]

Hello I love the packout system, the only thing I wish they would make would be the box dosen't matter what size with out any molded insert or accessories.

[@arc.handyman1905]

I was holding my breath for a drawer on wheels (not on a dolly). I recently saw that Rigid has essentially separated the wheels into a cart that you can then decide how to customize such as drawers on the bottom, but in a more effective way than the Milwaukee hand truck. I’m still awaiting this and in the meantime looking for ways to modify my base Packout to incorporate a big drawer. . While it does seem these improvements are coming a tad late, Milwaukee made the original design versatile enough to now effectively add these solutions (ie the metal rails on the corners). I understand 3rd party makers have been innovating, but I personally have never had a good experience with anything 3D printed. The durability is just not there. So I welcome the Milwaukee improvements. It seems like this was their plan all along? . Can’t wait to get my hands on these.

Has anyone identified a solution for opening the bottom box with the stacks attached on top? The removable handle is one step but I still haven’t seen a way to unlatch the bottom box with the stack assembled

[@joshgohlke480]

The side storage is all fine and dandy, but what happens when you have to get into one of your bottom boxes? not necessarily even the most buried box, but say the second box up from the bottom. you’re gonna have to take everything apart, still to get to it. In my honest opinion I believe that the drawer system that they came out with is the best solution for everything other than that you’re still wasting time stacking and unstacking the boxes.

[@reddbeard2030]

Go Vince! Pet that Cat for me 😅

[@my49tube]

I use the 2 wheel hand truck all the time for moving lots of things due to it's long tongue that makes moving large boxes/containers lots easier to tip back without having to grab it with one hand and pull back while tilting the dolly. Most of the time, you don't need to do anything but tilt the dolly and the tongue does the rest without tilting the load forward. I'd buy another one just for that reason alone if I had zero Packout boxes.

Different size drawer boxes would be most useful rather than all these accessories.

The only reason I went with the Rigid was because the cart was removable.

I have a 3D printer and have often thought I just need to print an adapter but that hasn’t happened yet. If Rigid doesn’t come out with some small organized boxes before I design and print it I may have to find someplace to make what I design and make some $$ off the adapter! 😉🤣🤣

I'm not a contractor, and don't drive a truck. I can't buy a packout stack because the bottom box with integrated wheels won't fit in the trunk of my car. Why isn't there a collapsible dolly with a packout locking plate, so you can start a stack without the over-tall integrated wheel-box?

[@VF1Skullangel]

I already have this capability with my ridgid packout box.

That's because the power of branding & marketing is much, much higher in the States than across the pond in jolly ol' England. Then again, the Milwaukee tool brand likely had acquiesce to black instead of red because there's already another tool company in the UK who has more established presence and identity with red.
