Why does the second stack face the same direction? They wouldn't be able to get the part out of the mold.
Jarrod you’re always thinking my friend!
You just won the internet for today!
Two piece mold?
maybe its because if its facing outward the second stack could fall off when moving the tool box or going up a stair case
The mold can be built with opposing slides or collapsible cores, but the complexity, size, and maintenance of the injection mold (and cost) go waaaaaay up.
It may be for a future box that is the same length but thinner.
I personally think this box should have had two separate lids (one for each packout system). That way you could remove one set of packout boxes and still open half the box rather than remove every single box just to get to the bottom.
The only problem is the seal. You'd either have to have a rib going down the center, this making it two individual bins, or have an overlapping seal. The third option would be to have one smaller lid/opening, similar to some of those coolers you see that have a quick access.
The other problem I just thought of is that once you cut into it, you also degrade the ability to hold as much weight, the integrity is degraded.
@Jeremiah McKenna good point(s)
I agree that the long lid should be split into two parts. Maybe a DIY.
I just love how straight forward all your videos are. No B.S. just real life situations and solutions.
The reason both stacks face the same direction is so that the cleats can hold all the weight when rolling and not put stress on the single plastic locking lever on each box
If someone really wanted to change the direction of the stacks, they could make a low profile adaptor plate that would change the cleat directions. Wouldn’t add too much height either, maybe 1/2” to 1”.
But the plastic locking lever would need some reinforcement or somethin..
Why not have the engineer use it practically first? 😂😂😂
Seriously though... How many meetings were held at Milwaukee headquarters before placing the box into production?
You’re totally right, but will not be buying it, cause I already did. 😂
It's that way because of the molding process. Think about it.
@raiderc9471 that's what I'm hoping someone does asap lol
No one else could make getting into a job sound so epic. Lord of the Rings meets construction. "One does not simply...
walk into a Jobsite."
This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find a way, no one will.

2 wheel packout dolly has met all of my needs!
I was super impressed with the door kicking skill.😂 ive always modded my large totes so I can attach things like framing squares and levels to the inside of the lid. The easiest way Ive found is to drill small holes in the strenghtening cross ribs and attach those little black mini bungees at various locations so you can easily slide the levels and squares underneath the bungees. Works great for me..
Adding a solution to the inside of the lid, for the square, is where my head is at also
Yep... totally agree...
Me too , once I’ve paid for it , Modding’s cool !
great idea however for me drilling small holes means I would then want to seal those holes to prevent rain water from getting in.
@@minimonkeyplay You don't drill through the lid. Just through the rib. Still water tight.
Vince, you have no idea that this was the video I needed this year. Well done Sir.
Glad you like it Erik!
I actually just bought my first packout and I got the new large single box along with the mid size and a milwaukee crate. Fits all my tools with ease. Its a good investment imo depending on the field you're in
I think the reason why the one side doesn't face the opposite direction is that if you put any of the Packout Drawers there, in the opposite direction, and by accident when you life the tool chest up, and you didn't secure the drawers with the locking bar, the drawers will open up and spill your tools and/or materials behind you when you walk.
I'm sure this was debated and thought of by the eggheads at Milwaukee.
I was looking at it in the store today. For 200 bones it just didn't feel right with all the other larger options right next to it. . I attached a few boxes in the store to the top of it and then I realized. Who would want to lift this. Maybe someone, Not me! Found myself buying the Dewalt box right next to it on sale for 75 bones for 64 gallon storage capacity. I'm all for Milwaukee innovation, this just didn't scratch the itch. I am still waiting for the rolling single or double bottom drawer packout system. Happy shopping coolgang.
On my triple stack it completely frustrated me. I now have the 3 drawer and 2 drawer. I made the foolish decision to have the small wheel dolly under it. On yards and fencing sites I can't get the drawers into the site easily with the smaller wheels. Yet the triple stack goes really well. So I just moved my drawer stack onto the big box where I keep my saws all, power saw and stapler. Everything I have is now cordless and this setup works good and my clear top larger organizer holds everything else I need.This seems to work better with the larger wheels. One haul and most of my tools are on site.
Vince has gone full infomercial when he was struggling with that husky box.
The door story definitely tells me this guy is experienced in the real world. Rock on Vince man!
Maybe the cleats both latch from the front to prevent heavier boxes from sliding out if you lift the handle higher when transporting it.
We got 2 of the packout rolling tool chests and love them one is our trowels and cement stuff the other is our larger rotary hammer and supplies for the cover installations really been amazing
This is my favorite video that you have done so far. It's also amazing that my drywall box is a "catch all" just like yours. Only smaller. Nice!
Take a breath Vince... The cleats on the lid of the new PO roller should have been facing opposite directions so boxes on the front and rear can be accessed.
That's a sheetrock sheet lifter/adjuster while you are installing. The other thing was a corner bead installation tool.
I'm absolutely happy I bought this. It's been a week or so and it saves so much time. I have big birtha in the bed of truck and other boxes in the rear cab seat. Click whatever necessary into birtha and pull up in style.
Man u have some serious energy and very animated i love it
I have the Packout system for my work truck and for around the house and such I have the Ridgid set. In my opinion you can't go wrong with either. Love them both! But I do feel like the packout is a little more solid in terms of ruggedness.
1. It’s disorganized to find your stuff in one large box. And it’s a puzzle to put it all back in each time.
2. It limits you from taking only specific tools to a job site. Unlike grab and go smaller packout boxes with specific tools inside.
3. It’s crazy heavy to lift on and off your truck.
You hit on most of the bullet points I thought of too after checking this out at the depot myself.
Also: even after you stack your 2 sets of boxes, one set faces in for some strange reason, making it difficult to get to that stack (why Milwaukee did you not design both stacks facing out?????).
I imagine I could fit all my drop cloths in one of the longer boxes. Super weird for you to make excuses for something you think we wouldn’t need.
I did buy it dude, and I love it... I built some plywood partitions, and I have my Makita Track Compatible Circular Saw on the right, my daily driver circular saw in the middle with my Jigsaw, and then my grinder and recip on the left. I"m stacking fasteners on one of the stack slots and my drill drivers etc on the other stack... I can pull my entire Makita tool collection around with my Milwaukee storage LUL
The little edits in this vid were on point and amazing 😂👌
I have most of the packout units and absolutely love them!
You know after watching the whole video at the end you mentioned something that I said to myself why did Milwaukee not rotate the way we stash one side of the box so that the lock is more accessible and after thinking about it the only reason I think it's made like that is because when you're rolling out The Big Box everything will be tilted towards the bottom if the first set of boxes was facing the opposite direction and for some reason you did not make sure it was fully locked the minute you pick it up or maybe while you're going up the stairs yes what everything will be flying down from that big box I think it's pretty obvious the way they made the box so they're both locks are facing upwards when you're rolling the big box with other packouts on top of it
What if? What if they lock in from the side instead of top to bottom?
As for the lock/stack system, they are using gravity in their favor to secure boxes in motion.
This channel is the longest running infomercial in history!!
Excellent video you definitely have me thinking about using that system thankyou. And God bless you and your family
I like the large rolling box, but when I was looking at it at Home Depot, it is so big, by the time I filled it with tools and so forth, it would almost require me to have a second person to lift it into the pickup truck. If I had a van or a truck with a lift gate, yes, it would be perfect, but with the regular rolling box, things can break down much smaller and easier to lift into truck.
There's a smaller version that's slightly cheaper. It's more comparable to the Milwaukee.
Get the cybertruck when it comes out
The newer husky ones have the husky connect system built into them as well. And I forget but I think the husky ones are made here in the United states
The new husky connect is only $69
I have the regular 3 piece packout, im a technician for wood processing machinery, the tool box weights around 200lb. Hurt my back lifting it into my van, now I installed a mobility scooter hoist in the back of my van, and use it to lift the tool box right into my van with a click of a bouton😎
I did see it at my depot it's pretty big and pretty expensive. Seems very convenient to have for storing bigger tools. Love the video guys great job as always.
I picked one up for 25 percent off. We'll see how it works out
Husky makes a larger one that's super tough for 40$ I have all milwaukee but I'm not paying 200 for that box. It's just not worth that.
@@onlyicedcrybaby7297I don’t see that anywhere I see one for 80 and one without wheels for 35
I just found this Channel and this guy is animated and I love it.
I can see that come in handy for someone who carries a ton of big items. In my situation, backpacks and bag tools is what works for me.
I assume someone may have already answered your question about the be direction of the boxes but if not, I am pretty sure they did this so you don't have to go back and pick up the boxes you put on the wheel side because they would fall off if the open side is down and when running over any bumps, I believe they would go bye bye!
I use my pack out to transport my water blasting PPE because all my gear is super heavy.I used to carry a massive duffel bag and tool box but the 3 stack pack out helps me bring it all without breaking my back.
I will admit it can be a pain taking each box off in order to get to different gear but being able to carry extra items across job sites and know where each item is located is so much better then searching for 5 mins.
Increase productivity.
Lmao Vince entering the building kickin the door down. Great re-enactment
🤣🤣
This is a great demonstration of Milwaukee's capabilities. Thanks for it.
This was a great demo. I always see reviews of storage boxes whether for tools are other things and they talk about the dimensions, square footage, or cubic footage but thats meaningless until you see what can actually fit in there.
Thanks Bill we appreciate it! 👍🏻
That emergency sound at the end was perfect lmao!!!
Love your video!!! Great review. I am a Milwaukee Pack Out man. You cannot find a better product. Period!. If you make your living with these portable tool boxes, buy what you can afford. All I see on the construction sites are the Milwaukee Pack Outs. The proof is out there. I understand they are expensive but you will hand these down to your children.
Thanks Vince for another great video with very good information
I saw that box and the price turned me off. My problem with packout is the wheeled base box. The first attempt to correct it was another OVERPRICED solution was the packout hand truck. Now with the flaw you mentioned on the new box has made it another definite no unless it’s 50% off. Packout is still best solution IMO but last 2 years fell flat except packout vacuum which would mate perfectly with the half organizers IF THE FACED THEY OTHER FRIGGIN WAY on the long box
"THE PINNACLE OF MODULAR TOOL STORAGE" lmao Love you Vince I agree
Nice big box... but... I think you can make it pretty heavy pretty quick.
Love the sound FX... major ROFL factor.
Don't bend my Square! Lol !! After two months I made a purchase Milwaukee Pack out . Thank you Vince for your time . Remember Very Cool Gang ring that like 1776 you will have 7 years good luck.
That is strange that the packout doesn't alternate sides for mounting. Would be much easier and look better as well.
I think they do it that way so if you’re working out of your truck you can access them both from the front or you would have to pull the whole chest out to disconnect the back one
Its to stuff crap in between like coat or a thermos.
Its to make sure your packout doesn't go sliding off the top of it isn't locked all the way.
@@ThunderCat19D Was coming down to say that. If your stack isn't latched in, or a latch fails, gravity will hold your boxes on. If you had some facing down instead of up, those could fall off. It's less visually appealing and a bit less usable as is, but more safe.
@@25Nightops right on the money
From a design point of view, IF you had that tote loaded as your base packout box in the back of the truck with the handle facing the tailgate, and you ONLY needed to just take the smaller boxes into the jobsite, you wouldn't need to flip the larger tote 180 degrees to get the back row of packout boxes off. You could get to both stacks from the ground at the tailgate. Just my thought.
Oh my gosh, I was just about to strap boxes on a big tote like this. I didn't know this existed. Thank you!
That big box is awesome, going to a range I can fit multiple guns and much more in it. Absolutely awesome Milwaukee knocked it out the park. Yes 👍😁💯🔥
Suggestion, get two of the packout wall and floor mounting plates for $60, and bolt them to the top of your husky box and call it a day. And then you can mount them alternate ways to access them from each side without taking the boxes off.
I was thinking the same thing. Seems like such a simple idea.
I've used those husky boxes and they're a bit on the flimsy side. There's no way you could fill it to the top with even mediumly heavy items like drop cloths and paint cans. Might make a couple trips but would give out after being thrown in and out of a truck a couple times.
The latches, walls, and lid are way better on the Milwaukee. It looks like you could fill it all the way with heavy ish items like tools and it will hold. Carrying it will be a different story
@@MichaelSotoCE yup, mine gave when it was full of tools. it was over limit, but its expected that a large box is going to be super heavy. i have packout and would rather have to carry two different boxes than to go back to husky (or other brands)
Paint cans…. Lol
So $100 for the husky box then $60 for the mounts and you’re not too far off from the Packout. Also the packout is more heavy duty, those husky boxes are ok if you’re never going to move them
I love my packout system but if you already have a large rolling box like your Husky, why not just mount two packout mounting plates to the lid. The box is bigger and you can mount the plates facing whichever direction you want
This video helped me decide for a packout, awesome that the tools were focused for plaster guys like me
I bought mine like this first off and I love it and all the pack out
1:10 My fav deal that “We” got this 3-piece packout for was around…..what, $179. That was such a sweat sweat deal😉
Thx VCG and Vince & Nick for the Vid and DEALS✌🏻
My ultimate favorite was last year at $109, I don’t ever think we’ll see that again! Thanks Aepek!
Small magnets hotglued to the inside of the lid might hold your framing square with minimal loss of space. have not tried myself but seems theoreticaly possible :)
Framing squares are made of aluminum.
Denis: Magnets, that is a great idea. My framing squares are steel , I went and checked with a magnet, maybe it is because they are 40 years old. They are still good and I use them all the time.
... Couldn't you just screw an adaptor to the lid on the husky to make it adaptable to the Milwaukee system?
I own two of these to keep in the back of my truck. Totally agree with you about the lid but still love them.
I got mine from Home Depot at 199 I bought it about 2 months ago I was really surprised at that was the only Home Depot that had it on the area come to find out now it's 227 dollars talk about price increase all the sudden
12:05. The reason they didn't make it so the other side doesn't come off the other direction is because they didn't want however much weight you have there being supported by just a clip. They wanted the cleats to be holding all the weight, and the clip just to secure the load against slipping out.
I'll wait to get my packout box when they release the new and improved version Vince suggested...
My favorite tool channel and one of my favorite personalities...
Very Cool!!!
Bought one of these for my work buddy as a welcome present when he joined our integration team. He seems to like it. Rocks it across his back seat. He can wheel it out if he knows he'll need everything. Appreciate the weather rating and the ability to lock it.
I bought it a while a ago. Home depot top shelf in electric department. I seen some moved down to tool box aisle this week.
I’d definitely put the square inside bottom of lid as mentioned before. Also wanted to say there’s a growing list of mods you can 3D print or have printed for the packout system.
Where would you find these?
Where do I find ?
If each box on top faces the opposite would there be enuff room to open each side at the same time or would the lids bump each other while open ?
I was about to comment on the orientation thing then waited to see if you'd bring it up.. and you did. Glad you did! Something like the radio would be useless without being able to access the controls. And the vac would be a pain in the ass to get to.
Respectfully Vince I disagree based on the cost factor and container size. I as an installation contractor use a large number of Ridgid boxes and Dewalt rolling totes simular to the Huskey box in your video. My rolling totes are used for supplies and large items. The Huskey totes and Dewalt totes are a 1/3 the cost and work just fine. Also Ridgid is 1/2 the price of Milwaukee. Thanks for the video Vince !!!!!
I wouldn’t disagree with you Stephen, I think cost is a big factor!
My trailer is wall stacked with rigid, one strap @ end of day...done...my big tote is stationary in truck. 1 packout 3 fits perfect in my third door, main packout 3 is in back of bed with all my filled/labeled 🪣 s, levels and squares and all that have their spot on the side, and it's funny to me, but the big husky tote handle slides right to the side if the bed, I use it to "jump" and grab...say the radio or whatever on the opposite side lol. Very handy. But Mainly stationary bcuz the one time WE lifted it our to roll on away, husky said "what axle?" 😄
Should see how much this Milwaukee packout costs in Australia, not worth it
My ridged broke after a year of daily use handle snaped right off I would have been right around the weight rating but still if the Milwaukee lasts longer I’d say it may be worth the cost imo
@@beasyphone That's awesome
Thank you for sharing !!!!!
I’m sold on the new tote. Gettin’ rid of my huge DeWalt just so I can match. Cool factor = 10
Sometimes the second kinda cool is all it needs to be!
I have the big one and i love it . I use it as a quick road service box I can keep in my pickup for light heavy equipment and truck repairs I got mine for 199.00
Honestly I just like watching this guys videos ..
Definitely dropped the ball with not flipping the mounting positions for the top stacks. I also think it would have been a slick idea to have the cover split so that you didn’t have to remove both stacks to access something in the bottom rolling tote.
I bought it a few days ago. I like it in the fact that I can clip everything together on the top with my other Milwaukee packout accessories. And everything can roll together but at that point it gets super heavy and it takes a second person to throw it in the back of the truck. It's not that deep and it has slots for dividers but the dividers were not sold with it. I think it would have been a lot better for that price if I would have had the dividers to keep everything in its own compartment
you had nothing in that husky you should see mine,,lol love the video and the energy!!
This dudes energy is on point
For me it's not an issue of cost that deters me. As a mobile mechanic I worry that by the time I loaded stuff into that box and stacked the rest of my packout on, it would just be way too heavy. It's easier just to have to separate stacks
I have been converting to packout over the last year, but I have four 28" tool boxes I've had to keep because things like prybars, sheet metal folding tools, etc don't fit into packout boxes- but I can't see dropping that kind of cash on a box to replace the $20 boxes I've had for 20+ years. I love Milwaukee but not that much, lol
$230. For a plastic box
Spray it red, get a Milwaukee decal, and screw 2 packout mounting plates onto it!
Amen... to hell with the entire packout price! I've had 2 and regretted both times that's why I sold all my Milwaukee and went to DeWalt and Hart
@@dragonsofthunder I can understand selling your packout system/boxes if they weren’t working for you, nothing is more irritating than having boxes that don’t work for you personally due to size, depth, quality, etc., but what I don’t understand is why You chose to go from a quality tool line to an inferior tool line?
I used to be a diehard, loyal as hell, team yellow fan also but then it would have been around 2000 or so +/- when their quality did a nose dive off a 14k foot mountain side and I had several new tools failing within months of purchase and warranty repairs were taking months due to parts on back order etc and I looked over and had 4 cordless red drills at the time that were 10+ years old and still using the original batteries but one and I already had the original sawzall ad some other misc red tools that were holding up extremely well for the abuse I was throwing at them. I replaced everything that was yellow/black with the comparable red tool and I have never been happier ! Especially with the last several years of new tool development they have come out with.
I know how we use them affects how we view them to some degree and each one of us are different, but I just don’t think I will ever be able to go back to yellow ever again after all of the good experiences I’ve had with my red and all of the new tools they have been pumping out the past several years.
It really doesn’t matter tho as long as your happy with your line, I’m happy with my line, and everyone else is happy with their ryobi’s! 😬
Take care man and be safe out there wherever your at
@@1982MCI I'm doing home remodeling and building lizard terrariums bro so I don't need Milwaukee and it's a waste of money. If I was doing heavy duty stuff I'd still be with Milwaukee. I was tired of the prices and fan boys
Best review video I've seen Vince do. Pretty good bro! I said the same thing about faceing the Packout one direct. Its difficult to go between and open the other packout. SMH
Loved the sound effects! :D
I'll tell ya why Vince. It's because their dang boxes cost twice as much as everybody elses. I have the ridgid stack, but have been thinking about switching over to packout. Went to HD a few weeks ago when packout was on sale with the intention of buying. Ended up buying 3 more ridgid modules instead at half the price even with the sale. 😂
My bottom wheeled box I have my SDS Plus, Super Sawzall, Super Holehawg, Rapid Charger, and four M18 battery. I might have my grinder in their too, IDR... My middle box has my circular saw, hacksaw, multi tool, top off, and two or three batteries... I got my radio and my top box that have two drills and two batteries. Lastly I have a foam box on top, got some M12 stuff for service.
Wow you got a lot in that middle box!
@@VCGConstruction So my grinder is in my middle box, not my bottom. Had to correct myself.
Interesting thought 🤔 thx for the video!
Got that box as soon as it came out its awesome
Facts! I think people who are new to packout want to start out with the 3 box set up and gradually acquire other boxes but this is definitely a great solution. I agree about the orientation of the boxes though lol Also I could be better priced. 229 is type steep not gonna lie. Somewhere at the 179 arena would be more fair in my opinion.
They are $199 at ACE and HD right now for black friday
I own all this stuff. I like the Husky box better because it makes a better work platform. I can stand on it. I can saw on it without getting on my knees. If you notice the lid is too short dimentionally on the Milwaukee.
Probably put lockout legs on the Milwaukee to hold a miter saw you'd sell a million.
I'm planning to buy the Husky. The 2x4 sized slots on the lid are brilliant.
@@hughbrackett343 I use it on vacations to hold wife's luggage. That angled area for round takes a strap perfect through the bullrings.
@@Kothas01 Judging from the reviews, the Horsey crowd are nuts for it. Folks also like the Dewalt for their gear but too many people mentioned the latches breaking vs. no durability issues for the Husky.
@@hughbrackett343 the husky was like 79 bucks pre covid. A pos cubby container is 49 in a comparable size. No brainer.
Great video. 👍 AlSo, the editor is hilarious with the effects.
You could put some neodinium magnets on the underside of the lid and put your square up there.
Wow that’s an awesome idea!
Vince, have you thought of securing the large square to the inside of the lid with some how?
That way it's not prone to getting bent by other stuff in the box.
Just a thought.
Thanks for the informative and entertaining videos 👍
You can the lids on packout have formed screw locations for mounting IE chargers and other brackets self made however the tray (especially) the handle would bend the square a lot easier. One could cut the handle off carry tray and notch the tray if they wanted to truly protect it
I think they'd do better if the rolling chest was a DEEP, strong, single drawer. So you don't have to take OFF all the nonsense on top to get to it. Maybe a wheel that extends with the deep drawer to support it as it opens. Then again I also think the standard rolling base should also be a deep drawer. And I agree about the orientation. Imagine a double drawer bottom where you could put the 2 or three drawer system on top and get at Everything.
That would be super functional but it would allow all the weight to go to one side which increases the likelihood of tipping.
Crazy good video. Nice work.
Vince you make all things easy!!
All his tools are new. ..
Nope little guy
While everything in the 3 smaller boxes could fit in the larger box, you couldn’t give one crew the appropriate tools that are currently distributed in the smaller boxes, and then give the other boxes to a second crew, without going through the larger box. I think the larger box is great for large tools like pipe wrenches or even knocked down saw horses. But to each his own.
The boxes should be oriented to face the long side of the big box so you can access the smaller boxes at the same time.
We appreciate your feedback Michael! 👍🏻
Not to be mean but they should go get ther own tools that's what makes you worth more money in the first place when a man has the tools he has better knolage of the trade and more respect because he earned it and is more independent bottom line don't pamper your employees recognize the ones set out to buy the tools to do the trade and reward them!!! For hard work!!!

Why I'm not buying it: Over twice the price of the Husky but holds less. I've been looking at these large boxes and I plan to buy the Husky. I'm not already bought into the Milwaukee tote system so their large box has no appeal to me.
I have the husky box and a lot of pack outs. Wouldn’t be hard to put a pack out mounting plate on the husky
My large husky boxes don’t owe me a dime.
I literally just looked at these yesterday and I have to admit the Milwaukee, even if it has those conveniences for stacking, was substantially too small for the things that you would want a bigger box for. I mean we can all put our sawzall or circular saw in the big box of the stack. What you need in these boxes are usually longer and let's be honest, we are very concerned about our levels and don't want them damaged. I just don't see this box being big enough but the main reason why I would not buy it is because Home Depot said it right next to the husky. Me and my son did agree that the husky felt like it was not of the same quality, but it wasn't a bad quality! And at more than double the size, yes more than double, it was half the price. They're cutting their own legs out and having too many things against it. I would say an idea that could help it sell at that price, would be to put some type of organizing slots or dividers in there and at the price. Maybe dividing the box up into three things or better yet being able to divide it up into three but still have one side of it where I could put my longer item. But honestly, they just need a bigger box. And I know why they didn't do a bigger box, cuz that box alone is going to be heavy with their design in those bars. Can you imagine how heavy that box will be if it was the size of the husky? And with tools?
It does have slots on the inside for you to slide organizers in there
Is there any feet/cleats you could use to stack a box on the top of the 38” unit so that its front is facing the opposite direction? Not to use for wheeling around but just to stack while stationary or storage
Your point at end was solid!
