The cooler lid opens up the full way because you can use it for a table ... hence the cup holder indents. Also it has less space than the tool box because of the way coolers are built.
Thanks for the video Vince. Just saved me $100. Wouldn’t waste my money on this just bc it locks on to my tool box. Appreciate you doing this bc I was looking at getting one.
I went ahead and grabbed one despite the leaking and tested it out yesterday in 94 degree weather for an afternoon at the river. My cooler did not leak one bit. I would guess there was about 32 ounces of water melted and tipping it on the side, sloshing it back and forth like you did not get any water leakage. Perhaps you got a bum unit? Overall I’m happy with it.
Mine don’t leak at all after watching this I did the same test with no leak. If you push the lid down before you clamp it shut it makes a seal you can feel the vacuum when you open it next time.
I bought one and took it out yesterday for a few hours. Let ice melt and did this same test in the video. No water leakage at all. I’m guessing he got a bad unit.
Looks like the lid is a tray. Sit the cooler next to you and flip the lid over your lap. (If you have to sit on the ground to eat) the little indent looks like a cup holder.
Thanks Vince! I just bought my first Milwaukee combo set (not at full price!) and thought of adding this to my set. Luckily, I watched this video first. I live in Arizona where it’s currently 115 degrees, no joke, and that ice wouldn’t last I hours with a leaking lid. Awesome video as always.
It looks like it could be nice and I like the tray in top to keep a sandwich or something else getting crushed but I would hardly call that ice retention at 30 hours. Too many manufacturers not just Milwaukee embellish the capabilities of their products way too much. I use an igloo round cooler that actually retains usable ice through the next day even when left in my van overnight and when the lid is locked in place it doesn't leak if you tip it over. Hopefully you can do a longer term use review after having it for a few weeks and let us know how it holds up and compares to your existing cooler. The price on this seems pretty steep for what seems like a subpar cooler that can latch onto packout boxes. As always great video.
I just did the same leakage test with water on its side. I shook the heck out of it no water leaked. I'm thinking it was just the one you got. I love this cooler and has been a great purchase.
Been looking at grabbing one of these for my lunchbox. Once you enter the Packout circle, it’s really tough to look outside of it, given how convenient it is with other Packout gear.
I don't expect that to be water tight, the gasket does its job and prevents as much water as it can to come out for average use. it drizzles out of the seams instead of being a water fall. I love that cooler I gotta pick one up for the rest of my packout stuff that I didn't even flip yet.
If that cooler was to be water tight it would have 4- 6 locks along the side of it instead of 1. That cooler is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. and great review you guys
I tell you that much Vince. This coolant box is not for free ice inside.. Do you know this special plastics ice cartridges? The once they not leaking after they turnin into a water? I think this coolant milwaukee box is made that for. So the gasket in this box is made more for dust or just rain outside protection. Not to prevent leaking any water inside the box. Thats my point. Anyway this tool accesory is handy and looks good to me :) nice one Vince and see you on the next one! (yes i did smasht the like button and i have 7 years of luck :D )
@VCG Construction. You may have a challenge or test here Vince. On one of your next tests with a circ saw, put this Milwaukee Packout cooler in the path of all that sawdust and see how well it keeps the sawdust out. I'll see if Milwaukee comes out with a 2.0 version with a place for a lock. Your crew must not mooch your or others lunches or brewskis so no need for a lock. Just sayin. Hope you and your family stay safe and well 🙏
This is the type of thing that I think is really only worth it if you need/can make good use of the packout functionality. If you've got some packout mounts in the bed of your truck then the leaking isnt an issue and you can keep all your stuff organized. I have trouble investing in any cooler that expensive, but at least the packout adds some functionality to it.
One thing they should have added to the cooler is detachable blue ice packs that attach and detach from the bottom side of the lid. Cold move down, blue ice is colder than water ice and last longer without the mess.
Great breakdown! I’m actually becoming really interested in using the PACKOUT as a way of transporting groceries, as well as storing tools lol. Where I live in NYC no one drives to the grocery store, you just have to walk and haul groceries back home. Other people use granny-style carts to deal with this, but I’ve always thought using one would be a bit emasculating. This could be a great alternative to that! The cooler would be an awesome way to transport frozen goods as it wouldn’t matter if the ice didn’t last 30 hours lol. Between it and the large toolbox base I could get a lot of groceries back home and not look like an old lady 😅
I'm guessing They could have a thicker gasket. But it's IP rated (Ingress Protection) so it's looking at jets of water spray at the box from many angles using a special rig. The Jets of water are calibrated to the standard. And yes IP 65 means 6 for dust, 5 for water. Which is not great, not bad, but not amazing. But it's not rated for water EGRESS. or leaking out. That's just not part of how they test the boxes. So Milwaukee needs a different idea on that issue.
Was the water cold when placed in box, if not the ice will melt faster cooling off water. Maybe a retest with a chill water. But water leaks not good, BUT if on sale I may be in.
Is there little drink holder circles on the inside of the lid? Its hard to tell with the white balance. I would say it opens all the way for a little table. I will say that its concerning that it leaks that easily, since it most likely will be stacked on the job site. Moving it around either with the dolly or the original 2 wheeled base the water will leak all over during transportation.
So I just watched this and, not sure if it has been pointed out in earlier comments but the cooler lid looks to be an eating surface like a small table. Perhaps that is why it opens so far and has a circular area for a cup?
Maybe the lid for the cooler goes all the way down so you could prepare food on the bottom surface of the lid, sort of like a built in table top? Just a thought on how I would utilize that feature..
Just recently bought a Milwaukee cooler, I live in Dallas Texas and this cooler will not hold ice for more than eight hours if that. Will definitely be returning it. I was really looking forward to this being a great cooler!
Have you ever had a problem with your Dewalt 2.0 radio did the subwoofer blow on it and then the sound keeps shutting off after a while and how do you fix that
Hi Vince, I've recently been introduced to Milwaukee and I love there products. I've been watching many of your video's and you give me lots of honest info. Keep up the good work mate and keep safe.
i am gonna wait for gen 2 to come out. they always "fix" the issues in gen 2, then in gen 3 they add more power and make it smaller and all that cool jazz!
Yes that's milwaukee in a nutshell, how things should be done imo. With one of the folding knives I thought a cover over the button should be installed and voila, gen 2 knife had a cover on the button.
Not to defend their spec, but were the waters pre-chilled or room temp when you put them in? That chill exchange alone could make the difference of more than a few hours of ice-retention.
Lucky it didn’t spill over your radio. Say if have lock in moving it on pack out radio then water spill will it destroy it or is the radio water proof I don’t know
Every cooler company already over-promises and under-delivers the second they print "retains ice UP TO...." on its nomenclature. Some coolers easily surpass their claims, most don't. Think about having this one out at a jobsite outdoors and it is unrealistic to ask it to keep ice 30 hours. I'd say 12 hours easily in the heat (I'm in south Texas) and probably 16 hours in cooler weather. No way this will retain ice for 30 hours in summer in an outdoor working environment. But then again, who works 30 hours per shift? That said, I have this cooler. It's solid for what its purpose is. I use it at the ranch for the day while doing work. It's serviceable to the user for that purpose.
Great review, but instead of keeping the cooler in a climate controlled area, you should have placed it in a hot outside area and opened the lid like once an hour. That’s just my opinion though. Just started watching and you do seem honest and not just a fanboy to a company or afraid to say it how it is.
The lid opens up all the way to provide a place to put your drink and possibly use as a table. You can clearly see a recessed spot to place your drink.
Hey Vince I believe what's happening is when the lid is closed for the cooler the gaskets are not fully compressing enough both the sides and the back at the hinges and I believe the only place that's making full contact and is being compressed is at the front lach
Sorry about all the comments but maybe they shouldn't make where the hinge is on either side of the cooler not at the end and put a locking clamp on both ends which would really seal the box type so when you tip it over that will have the hinge side to open up but then you would have the two clamps on either end to really seal tight the cooler
Generally I use frozen water bottles that don't leak, then I can drink them at the end of the shift. No wetness in the cooler. If yhey release a full-size cooler, I'd probably use a milk jug filled with water and freeze it. Lasts longer than cubed ice.
Hey VCG guys.. What I really want to see is a review on the Makita new XGT 40VOLT system. And the C.A.T power tools that they are coming out with... Power tools from C.A.T this is crazy amazing.
the reason the lid flops over is because the inside has recesions to hold a drink when you open it. when the top is closed theres no recessions because of the packout slots.
Water pouring out makes this a definite "no" from me. Also super disappointed it barely held ice in a clinate controlled environment for the 30hrs. I absolutely love Milwaukee and feel like this one missed the mark. Especially at $100+ price point. I mean how's it going to do if you left it in the cab of your truck?
Hmmmm.....I was really excited about getting this cooler when I heard about it. Then I saw the price and now I see it leaks. No way for what this little cooler costs should it leak like that. Kinda disappointed ☹️ But, if it goes on sale for Black Friday it’s mine LOL because it’s Milwaukee and it’s packout. Plus it does look really sleek next to the other packout box. Thanks for the informative video Vince.
Toolbox vs. Coolbox. IMHO, they should have left the locking grommet on the cooler. Could the water droplets have been condensate? Scientific is nice, but real world tests are superior!
I’m surprised they didn’t release an m18 powered cooler. It’s nice to have a cooler without melted ice, especially when there’s more food packed than ice. Who wants mushy food when you haven’t sealed your food well enough? I’ve been there and it ain’t pretty. Save the mushed food for when I’m nearly dead, please. Drinks are great on a hot day, but drink coolers are better suited for that, IMHO. Can’t tell me an M18 9ah or 12ah battery wouldn’t keep such a thing running a long time, not to mention most people have more than one battery. I know construction workers might deal with ice now, but it’s better without, and better when you could bring a battery powered cooler along to camp or on the boat. Hope Milwaukee reads this. Thanks Vince, nice video.
i would not consider that a good ice retention...it was 98 % water....change it to 24 hours...my $30 igloo standard cooler retains ice better than that in 24 hours sitting in my van for 24 hours...its 50% ice by 7 am the next day
That is so strange how it leaks so easily, you'd think that would have been dealt with being its made for construction and its pretty tall and narrow so it could easily tip over. Its a deal breaker for me unfortunately. They just need to modify a small bar fridge so you can maybe battery power it with 2 batteries and it would take up same amount of room as both of those coolers did, just how do you get around the weight issue...
The cooler lid opens up the full way because you can use it for a table ... hence the cup holder indents. Also it has less space than the tool box because of the way coolers are built.
holds ice for 30 hours? that maybe in the north of the country because here in Arizona it may last 8 hrs max.
Yep here in AZ if water can get out hot air can get in. Will get 8 hours if lucky.
Thanks for the video Vince. Just saved me $100. Wouldn’t waste my money on this just bc it locks on to my tool box. Appreciate you doing this bc I was looking at getting one.

Overall I’m happy with it.
Wow I almost bought this cooler but Milwaukee needs to make one that doesn’t leak first.
I bought one it hasn't leaked yet
Ive had it tip over over but I've never just let it sit on its side with ice and water, may be worth the test
Mine don’t leak at all after watching this I did the same test with no leak. If you push the lid down before you clamp it shut it makes a seal you can feel the vacuum when you open it next time.
I bought one and took it out yesterday for a few hours. Let ice melt and did this same test in the video. No water leakage at all. I’m guessing he got a bad unit.
Mine tipped on its side and didn't leak, have had it for about six months.
Looks like the lid is a tray. Sit the cooler next to you and flip the lid over your lap. (If you have to sit on the ground to eat) the little indent looks like a cup holder.
The indent is for a tick.
Thanks Vince! I just bought my first Milwaukee combo set (not at full price!) and thought of adding this to my set. Luckily, I watched this video first. I live in Arizona where it’s currently 115 degrees, no joke, and that ice wouldn’t last I hours with a leaking lid. Awesome video as always.
It also looks like the top of the lid accepts the batteries for storage. Did VCG Construction test that too?
It looks like it could be nice and I like the tray in top to keep a sandwich or something else getting crushed but I would hardly call that ice retention at 30 hours. Too many manufacturers not just Milwaukee embellish the capabilities of their products way too much.

Great review 🤘🏼 being a Canadian sales rep I highly enjoy your reviews they are very helpful for my job.
Bummer. I almost bought this Friday. I still might if it goes on sale. But for that much money there are too many issues.
Been looking at grabbing one of these for my lunchbox. Once you enter the Packout circle, it’s really tough to look outside of it, given how convenient it is with other Packout gear.

If that cooler was to be water tight it would have 4- 6 locks along the side of it instead of 1. That cooler is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. and great review you guys
Is the 30 hour promise after a sacrificial bag of ice like the yeti? Meaning it has to be chilled first then loaded.
Most likely yes
You should make a camping with milwaukee. Using milwaukee products while camping.
Cooler, packout, top-off, lights, jobsite fan etc.
I tell you that much Vince. This coolant box is not for free ice inside.. Do you know this special plastics ice cartridges? The once they not leaking after they turnin into a water?

Wondering, when the cooler is attached to wheeled cart, does it leak when tipped when rolling or going up and down stairs?
Nice test thanks Vcg 👍👍🤙🤙✌️ You keep making me want more tools 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You had me on the ice melt calculation you really had me going there for a sec 😂😂😝
One can add 3M 2228 mastic tape to the raised lip to create better sealing.
Can you fit a coke can standing up underneath the plastic tray insert? Thanks.
Thanks i was just about to buy it today i guess i will wait until they fix that problem with the leaking
How many wooders does it hold? Can it keep my Italian wooder ice cold?
awesome. now i can pop open a coors light while on the jobsite
A great test. Thank you. I was surprised that the box was leaking. I wonder if Milwaukee has solved the problem?
???

But it's not rated for water EGRESS. or leaking out. That's just not part of how they test the boxes. So Milwaukee needs a different idea on that issue.
Just don’t hold your cooler upside down?
Was the water cold when placed in box, if not the ice will melt faster cooling off water. Maybe a retest with a chill water. But water leaks not good, BUT if on sale I may be in.
Is there little drink holder circles on the inside of the lid? Its hard to tell with the white balance. I would say it opens all the way for a little table.
I will say that its concerning that it leaks that easily, since it most likely will be stacked on the job site. Moving it around either with the dolly or the original 2 wheeled base the water will leak all over during transportation.
@DELETE THE ELITE who the hells gonna steal a lunch box?!
Yogi the bear?🤣🐻🥪
@DELETE THE ELITE
🤦🏽♂️ofcourse how could i forget right
Andrechrome aint gonna refill its self right👶🏽💉
@@canogaparque818 I can tell your the funny old guy at the job 😂😂😂
Very interesting that the cooler leaks wow at how much leaking it had when ya tipped it over

What's up brother and all the VCG gang good afternoon everyone🇺🇸👊
Just recently bought a Milwaukee cooler, I live in Dallas Texas and this cooler will not hold ice for more than eight hours if that. Will definitely be returning it. I was really looking forward to this being a great cooler!
Also what if any effects are there from continuous opening and closing getting beverages to the ice box keeping stuff cold
Have you ever had a problem with your Dewalt 2.0 radio did the subwoofer blow on it and then the sound keeps shutting off after a while and how do you fix that
Vince is a BEAST!!!! Great vids
Hello why do you not use cooler elements like we have here in Denmark
Hi Vince, I've recently been introduced to Milwaukee and I love there products. I've been watching many of your video's and you give me lots of honest info. Keep up the good work mate and keep safe.
I’m curious as to which one holds up in the compactor better.
if u leave the ice without cutting the bag open u might get the best results or use ice packs.
Roughly how many cans does the cooler hold?
i am gonna wait for gen 2 to come out.
they always "fix" the issues in gen 2, then in gen 3 they add more power and make it smaller and all that cool jazz!
Yes that's milwaukee in a nutshell, how things should be done imo. With one of the folding knives I thought a cover over the button should be installed and voila, gen 2 knife had a cover on the button.
Still getting one when it comes in stock in my town.
I’m guessing one is a cooler
Guess again
Idk about that one chief....going by the title anyway lmao
Id like to see someone try this with ice packs vs plain ice. I never use ice on job sites just packs.
maybe try cooler with one of those blue ice packs rather then ice cubes
That’s what I plan on doing. Even though mine doesn’t leak like his, I like the blue ice packs. Less mess.
Not to defend their spec, but were the waters pre-chilled or room temp when you put them in? That chill exchange alone could make the difference of more than a few hours of ice-retention.
"Under promise and over deliver" the tale of 90s performance imports.
Lucky it didn’t spill over your radio. Say if have lock in moving it on pack out radio then water spill will it destroy it or is the radio water proof I don’t know
Good video Vince @Vcgconstruction
You’ll notice if you look the lid acts as a table for your food it I even has a indentation for your drink can or bottle to sit in.
Every cooler company already over-promises and under-delivers the second they print "retains ice UP TO...." on its nomenclature. Some coolers easily surpass their claims, most don't. Think about having this one out at a jobsite outdoors and it is unrealistic to ask it to keep ice 30 hours. I'd say 12 hours easily in the heat (I'm in south Texas) and probably 16 hours in cooler weather. No way this will retain ice for 30 hours in summer in an outdoor working environment.

Just started watching and you do seem honest and not just a fanboy to a company or afraid to say it how it is.
Mine leaked also. I use it inside my suv and I bought it because I thought the seal would keep it leak proof.
For the price you might as well buy a Yeti and get a week long ice retention. Ice ain't cheap
Ice is way cheap in my freezer. If the Yeti was packout compatible then I’d be in.
The lid opens up all the way to provide a place to put your drink and possibly use as a table. You can clearly see a recessed spot to place your drink.
Hey Vince
I believe what's happening is when the lid is closed for the cooler the gaskets are not fully compressing enough both the sides and the back at the hinges and I believe the only place that's making full contact and is being compressed is at the front lach
I like mine. A drain plug would be nice tho
The lid goes back further to allow you to layout lunch items or a can
It's refrigerated?
Sorry about all the comments but maybe they shouldn't make where the hinge is on either side of the cooler not at the end and put a locking clamp on both ends which would really seal the box type so when you tip it over that will have the hinge side to open up but then you would have the two clamps on either end to really seal tight the cooler
Too much money for too many problems
the thing about these types of cooler like yeti and ozark trail. they reccomend pre cooling the box. cause your trying to cool down the inside first
My question is is like in 110° will that ice last 30 hours probably not I live in Arizona so
I stumbled across one of your videos, not gonna lie hated the channel but after watching a few dozen it’s about the only channel I watch for tools!
I’m glad you gave us a chance and you enjoy the videos! 👍🏻
Generally I use frozen water bottles that don't leak, then I can drink them at the end of the shift. No wetness in the cooler. If yhey release a full-size cooler, I'd probably use a milk jug filled with water and freeze it. Lasts longer than cubed ice.
Good call
Shouldn't be leaking the gasket needs to be bigger or the cover needs to be reformed and be flat! But still a great cooler.
just bought one off the side of the road pulled over , guy sold it for $10, didn’t know it came with a tray but not bad for $10
Awesome video Vince!
Thanks Dominick, we appreciate that!
Vince, our bet is that the cooler lid opens all the way out of the way to allow you to pour in ice
It's to place tray on to allow you to pour ice in.
Another great vid Vince...telling it like it is...excellent
Great reviews Vince. Appreciate your comments. Milwaukee needs drawer system like Dewalt Tstak or Toughsys2
Hey From Philly. where can i find the quick lok Hedge attachment?
Check out Acme tool or Ohio powertool!
Will it be Milwaukee or DeWalt that ups the game by using a Peltier cooler unit operating from a lithium battery. Ice forever!
The white lid is a tray, see the drink insets?
Hey VCG guys..
What I really want to see is a review on the Makita new XGT 40VOLT system.
And the C.A.T power tools that they are coming out with... Power tools from C.A.T this is crazy amazing.
Has anyone insulated the rolling or large tool box to use as a cooler?
the reason the lid flops over is because the inside has recesions to hold a drink when you open it. when the top is closed theres no recessions because of the packout slots.
I have 3 coolers and all 3 dont leak Milwaukee must fix not sure why they would put this up for sale with that huge problem
You can line the insides with Celotex - PIR insulation and make your own coolbox too - just be sure to keep the insulation dry for it to work.
Water pouring out makes this a definite "no" from me. Also super disappointed it barely held ice in a clinate controlled environment for the 30hrs. I absolutely love Milwaukee and feel like this one missed the mark. Especially at $100+ price point.
I mean how's it going to do if you left it in the cab of your truck?
Hmmmm.....I was really excited about getting this cooler when I heard about it. Then I saw the price and now I see it leaks. No way for what this little cooler costs should it leak like that. Kinda disappointed ☹️ But, if it goes on sale for Black Friday it’s mine LOL because it’s Milwaukee and it’s packout. Plus it does look really sleek next to the other packout box. Thanks for the informative video Vince.
Thanks Skolsaw, we appreciate it! 👍🏻
Can it hold a 18 pack cuz you know as soon as the saws get put away it's time to drink beer
😂😂
AMAN!
Toolbox vs. Coolbox. IMHO, they should have left the locking grommet on the cooler.
Could the water droplets have been condensate?
Scientific is nice, but real world tests are superior!
The lid on the cooler drops down so it can serve as a tray...:)
I’m surprised they didn’t release an m18 powered cooler. It’s nice to have a cooler without melted ice, especially when there’s more food packed than ice. Who wants mushy food when you haven’t sealed your food well enough? I’ve been there and it ain’t pretty. Save the mushed food for when I’m nearly dead, please.

GO Vince!
Great video to dispell the myths. 👍👍👍👍
Extra space for insulation.
✌
id love to see Milwaukee and yeti coolers team up
Maybe we need to Mcgyver one! Any Yeti that has similar shape?
Do you mean mb "water", not "warder"?
You guys should be consultants/testers for Milwaukee
i would not consider that a good ice retention...it was 98 % water....change it to 24 hours...my $30 igloo standard cooler retains ice better than that in 24 hours sitting in my van for 24 hours...its 50% ice by 7 am the next day
1:08 when you bring those good lunch items gotta make sure they’re safe
Can you sit in this without breaking it like the klien
That is so strange how it leaks so easily, you'd think that would have been dealt with being its made for construction and its pretty tall and narrow so it could easily tip over. Its a deal breaker for me unfortunately.
They just need to modify a small bar fridge so you can maybe battery power it with 2 batteries and it would take up same amount of room as both of those coolers did, just how do you get around the weight issue...
I’ve used this cooler for a year now and has been very good and hasn’t leaked at all
My Yeti doesn’t leak when tilted over on its side. I have a bunch of the Packout accessories and had high hopes that the cooler would perform better.
Bradley Forsythe yea but how much you pay for that yeti lol
Friggin love these videos but I've been buying everything you review lately. Delco native btw :-)
Delco in the house, what up Peter?
You should also test the wall leak on the water cooler and all three of them
