Hello from Atlantic Canada. I just started using the system. So far very impressed, and with videos like this, it makes it much easier to understand. Cheers! 😀
I've got about as much stuff, and isn't it obscene that we need to have as much as we do in order to do our jobs? compared to like office workers and accountants and stuff that need a laptop, we need a van load of different tools - often including a laptop! 😂
It’s crazy when you think about it. They could catch a train in with the laptop or work from home. We’ve gotta have a large enough vehicle to carry the amount of tools we have. Definitely a big difference 👍
And we under constant risk of getting it all stolen. Not sure what it's like in Oz but in UK van theft is rife. So much of it about so when you have nice tools you have to think of security too because having it all nicked is a horrible feeling!
Foam... nice but I agree -- 20 towers of packout neatly organized OR a tidy stack like yours that has it all. Thanks -- I also like the way you have sorters on top and open them each without un-stacking -- great tip!
I had the M12 fuel oscillating tool & it is an amazing tool but I did upgrade to the m18 fuel oscillating tool & I have to say it is %100 worth it just for the auto function. It’s pretty much the only mode I ever use whenever I get my multi tool out. But you can’t go wrong with either of the Milwaukee Fuel multi tools. They’re definitely in the running for like top 5 best multi tools across all brands in my opinion
Milwaukee also needs to make their packout boxes resistant to sun/ uv protection I have seen plenty of packout systems going down the road on the back of work trucks faded from uv damage
I know that folks have been clamoring for a PackOut drawers rolling tool cart. I did too initially as a rolling toolbox owner. If you have the original PackOut rolling tool chest, you know that the tucked in wheels make a big notch out the interior volume. So a drawers variant would have the same characteristic. My vote is for a mk2 PackOut 2 wheel cart that improves on the quality complaints. Such as the cheap feeling & the flip up nose that doesn’t nicely lock in place. Add some of those casters that lock on the under served corner rails and you have a bonafide hand truck, a mobile jobsite tool station and a mobile shop tool station. All in one form factor that compromises practically nothing for the separate use cases.
Do you think that Milwaukee will do the draw roller? That’s the 1 thing stopping me at the moment because I want the draws at the bottom without needing to get the trolly as well
Hey Jesse. I seriously would have thought so. Everyone’s been asking for years. It’s been that long and they’ve had the chance to do it that I feel it won’t happen unfortunately. The other crazy thing is that flex Klein and hokiki made their own versions of the packout but didn’t do it either. Maybe there’s a design problem with that style.
I think it may be the same issue you have with a tub ute over a tray. The wheels get in the way of a neat drawer system. You would have to have such a skinny drawer to keep it at the same width as the current range. I would think the best result would be either a low profile unit with a skinny drawer or same height as current rolling tool box but normal width drawer and one skinny drawer. For now i have copied insider carpentry's custom made dolly with slot for your own hand trolley
I guess that Milwaukee driller are much better that any other brand, I’ve been using Milwaukee during a whole project in Sydney called the Quay quarter tower in circular quay and it never break down. Good videos mate, cheers
@@AddictedtoTools a drawer of nails? I have a drawer for each nailer. With those nailers are the appropriate nails with a divider between the tool and the fasteners. Then, the nails are all neatly organized by size. That's organized. A drawer that has pump clamps, a sledge and a prybar that's way to big to fit is just a junk drawer. There is no rhyme or reason anything is put together. Why is your note book with your auger bits? How do you clean your room? Just shove everything in the closet and shut the door?
@@AddictedtoTools Yeah I rate it. It turned my XL box into rarely used tools storage, the thing was giving me the shits so it awesome to finally replace it. I just wish we didn't have to wait a whole year to get new releases. In the topic of drill drive kits if you go to Sydney tools and get the new Milwaukee drill driver kit they fit open in the low profile packout in the open position so you can see what you have. I'll find a link and post it.
The battery holders and other storage compatible with Dewalt tools? Milwaukee system is so far ahead of aanyone else. Wondering if Dewalt guys, use Milwaukee storage system?
I’ve got a 36v hikoki impact driver in Brisbane you can loan to compare against. Stoked to see you got the sharp pog looking forward to seeing that video soon. Cheers brother.
I run the same two platforms as you, minus M12. Im really disappointed with my non Fuel M18 grinder, would you recommend the XGT over Milwaukee's newer Fuel grinders? Love your content, keep it up!
I have the x torque kit and can’t say I’ve been too impressed. Had a few snap easily and one had the flutes shear off. I can also recommend the drill doctor. For the price of a decent drill bit set you can extend the life of all your bits and they cut awesome!
Amazing little multi tool it cuts so fast 2 turns and and new blade!! The Milwaukee 3453 will absolutely destroy the Hilti no comparison I've got into the xgt line amazing impact drill and saws for very cheep I'm in less than 300.00 USD for two 2.5 and two 4.0 xgt batteries xgt impact xgt hammer drill and rear handle XGT Saw I have that radio it's radio comes in very clear 5 kits lately and saved a couple thousand with the deals here in the US
I’ve had a heap of the cheaper versions and also talked to people who run the dewalt tstack which is probably the next best thing. But nothing compares to the packout. The flex gear seems to be compatible actually but I haven’t seen it first hand as it’s not In aus yet
TH-cam won't let me post on how to see the photos of the Milwaukee but sets in the packout case but if you search the American Milwaukee site for but sets you see in the photos what I mean
The DeWalt oscillating tool is so much nicer than the Milwaukee. Absolutely hate the fact that the Milwaukee doesn’t have a quick change feature like the DeWalt..
@@AddictedtoTools flat piece of aluminum the depth of the tool box. Put in vice and make a slight angle on each end and pop rivet or bolt to the uprights. I think the mounts that packable make are very well built, easy and quick to install. Like lots of things it is just alot of money for something so simple to make.
That’s modifying the packout though. I tally agree if you don’t mind putting holes into the packout and voiding warranty, it can be done easily. These don’t do that, are adjustable and extremely good quality. For myself I see it like that packout. A little extra money up front but worth it in the long run. I agree though that riveting something up would do for many, especially if your on a budget. Cheers for the input mate 👍
I've got the Xtorque drills with 1/4 inch hex shanks. The steel is soft and the drill breaks off the hex shank. I have been happy with othe Xtorque stuff but these are shit.

Great video and great setup! Keep the videos comin!
the Milwaukee packout system is definitely a well-designed bit of kit!
Yeah milwaukePacksouts are insanely popular now, like every second tradie I see, has this
Cheers mate. Can’t be beat so far👍
Totally agree a 1 drawer packout would be a god send
The packout bottom drawer is coming in January 2025

Thats why we charge the sick money 😍
As a diesel mechanic my tool box weights close to about a ton........
@@AddictedtoTools The garage comes with us

Having the fixings like that has been awesome. Usually I just grab a tub out and I don’t have to remove any packout. 🍻
I started my pack out collection last year. You got a sweet setup man. Those packable mods are pretty slick especially the magnetic one.

The packout rolling drawers is coming in January 2025, about time too

I just love how they call it the marxMATE in Australia. It’s the marxMAN everywhere else.
I need a pack out so bad but the prices are outrageous
You could make a 1 drawer unit by combining 2 drawers and cutting the top drawer bottom.
I’ve seen that done. Might be worth doing sometime. I would like the actual roller box converted though. Cheers for the idea Patrice

Hi there I'm waiting for the one drawer to the point where I may follow the samary and billed it myself
I guess that Milwaukee driller are much better that any other brand, I’ve been using Milwaukee during a whole project in Sydney called the Quay quarter tower in circular quay and it never break down. Good videos mate, cheers
I agree, I tried the foam and it just takes up too much space
Great video. how are the drawers holding up these days?
Hey mate. What’s the screwdriver pouch hanging on the front of the veto tp3?
Hey, that’s the tph-40 pouch from vessel
Fantastic and Practical Video. I like seeing how people organize their packouts. 🤙
Organize? The guy literally throws random junk into drawers. There is no organization method at all. Just out of sight out of mind
How that mate? I work out of these daily and know where things are. Maybe you’re using a different definition of organise

The Milwaukee red helix cobalt drills are by far the best I've ever come across, expensive though...
Still waiting for the one drawer base to be announced and I will begin my stack
Might be waiting awhile. I do hope they do it though
@@AddictedtoTools you don't like the cabinet? I love mine.
I don’t have one yet. But I’m after it for the roller box so it’s not so annoying to get to things
@@AddictedtoTools Yeah I rate it. It turned my XL box into rarely used tools storage, the thing was giving me the shits so it awesome to finally replace it.

What do you recommend for best plier ever to all electricians
Has to be Knipex
Can't go past sutton for drill bits, packible gear looks mad 👍
It’s been awhile since I’ve bought a full set. I hate laying out that amount on drill bits 😂
@@AddictedtoTools I can sharpen bit from about 5mm and up on the bench grinder but nothing cuts like a factory sharp bit 👍
I have the x torque kit and can’t say I’ve been too impressed. Had a few snap easily and one had the flutes shear off.
I can also recommend the drill doctor. For the price of a decent drill bit set you can extend the life of all your bits and they cut awesome!
how do you like that hilti impact? do you like it better than the milwaukee? been debating making the switch

Would you say the Milwaukee packout Trolley / tool mob case , is the best or any other cheaper alts
I’ve had a heap of the cheaper versions and also talked to people who run the dewalt tstack which is probably the next best thing. But nothing compares to the packout. The flex gear seems to be compatible actually but I haven’t seen it first hand as it’s not In aus yet
wow, that is very tall put together..
TH-cam won't let me post on how to see the photos of the Milwaukee but sets in the packout case but if you search the American Milwaukee site for but sets you see in the photos what I mean
Why not put all your heaviest draws down the bottom to make it more stable?
It’s very stable as it stands. The heaviest drawer is the nails but I like having it at this height as I use it the most.
I’d like to see how you get that in the car
It all comes a part. Place each box in. Not too difficult
The DeWalt oscillating tool is so much nicer than the Milwaukee. Absolutely hate the fact that the Milwaukee doesn’t have a quick change feature like the DeWalt..
Me an aircraft mechanic: foam all the tools. Everyone needs a home!
All my tool boxes are way way too organized….
Hmm… I like it.
Treat yourself to a new milwaukee m18 fuel kit mate . I have you wont be disappointed at all..
How are you stopping the drawers rolling back on themselves. Have these boxes and the drawers close back on there own very annoying
You maybe on unlevel ground. I have mine open atm. They don’t close
Where's the mod?
That packible attachments….
Oh my sorry to hear my friend. But do grab the milwaukee fuel impacts, it'll change your life
I have 2…
so wait are you an electrician or handyman?
An electrician by trade. But I do basically everything from framing, making furniture, to building cars.
You just make the two drawer a one drawer
Hilti??? What in dee hail?!!
Packible makes overpriced junk
Why do you call them junk mate? The quality is fantastic.
Definitely not junk but quite over priced for something that you could make with a piece of aluminum from Bunnings and some basic hand tools.
I get the idea but I’d actually be interested in seeing someone make the rams and attachments with gear from Bunnings. Have you seen it done?
