🚐 Curious about my van? Here's more info: bkxc.bike/the-van
6:36 I'm calling it right now.
Next video about this, you're going to complain about how bad the handles are and that you have to take everything out to get 1 piece out, and how much better drawers are.
The second he showed the "future drawer system" that is coming out, I thought..."Yeah, he'll have that after he's tried to use that system a few times." There's a reason mechanics who use tools every day have systems with drawers!!
From Adam Savage: first order retrievability. When there are several steps to get the tool you need... that's annoying. However, for a no rattle vehicle setup, this is very cool.
You need the drawers, I have $2000 worth of this stuff and it's annoying AF to get something from the bottom box. I'm going to build shelving for my van so I don't have to unstack everything to get a tool
I was thinking the same thing but the other tool box wasn't portable or dividable. If you're working under a car or anywhere away from the vehicle it's nice to bring a group of tools in a small portable box or two boxes. And the top sections are almost like drawers with lids. But I don't like the foam sections in the bottom, that's nutso. That's for big power tools imo. I would rather more 1/4 heights so each foam has it's own case maybe and maybe a 1/2 height if a few power tools can fit in them like a cordless drill and impact wrench with batteries.
the drawers on the packout are the best
Who else has been saving those stickers for 20 years trying to find a good spot to put them.
Guilty
and will be saving them for the next 20...
Not me I use them instantly😂
I feel seen
Half the companies that I still have sticker saved for have either gone bankrupt or been re-bought by other companies. Hurst shifters
I still have stickers in my night stand that are about 20 years old because I can't decide where to stick them.
Tin snips to get the wolverine sticker.
Definitely. Cut it out and slap a magnet on the back!
Or just keep using the toolbox as-is, in the shed or garage.
No Wolverine left behind! *snikt!*
If the drawers and everything are shot from the box get an angle grinder and cut the side out. Mount the panel somewhere. Maybe in the van.
Normally I am cheap about some things, but I am willing to spend on things that I need to last, in the end it is worth it!
"buy once, cry once"
Milwaukee tool employee here (specifically tied to the group that designs and develops these tool boxes :) ) and long time BKXC subscriber... stoked to see these worlds collide *Que powerman5000*. See you on the trail!
The thing with the new tool box vs the old one , is that now to get the tool box open, you need to slide the whole thing out of the van so you can open the toolbox.
Not the best move for me.
And taking them out eventually breaks them. Been thru a cpl brands, I've had the best luck with rigid
Milwaukee is coming out with a box that will have drawers

@@Swiney52 Chinese junk just like Dewalt. Not a power tool tho. That's kinda sick tho, I like how it holds the drawers shut.
@@johnsonjay60 the packout system is made in israel not china
@@johnsonjay60 TTI is the parent company of both Milwaukee, and Ridgid, Ryobi as well. Both packout Milwaukee and ridgid boxes, are probably made in the same factory in Israel. TTI rates Milwaukee as their "premium" contractor grade tools. Not the same for Ridgid and Ryobi.
When it comes to tools and equipment....Cry once and forget about it
Only if you take things seriously in general most people don’t give a shit about what they buy it’s usually use once and that’s it.
I bleed milwaukee red 😂 this makes me so happy....
I don’t need another toolbox, but now I want this one.
TIM from Canada suggestions for everyone looking for Milwaukee PAC out… you can get the same thing on eBay.. and if you look you can find them a lot cheaper than the stores.. eBay is good look through and you can find the price you were looking for for example. The boxes he is showing you now on this video.. there will be three or four different prices for this box somewhere really high some are a great price you can pretty much find all Milwaukee pack out boxes on eBay if you were looking… because I can tell you right now Home Depot Canada does not sell half of what they are telling you in the store… (eBay) is a great place to buy your Milwaukee pack )out if you are looking
Attention to the guy making the video.TIM from Canada… ... suggestions for you your foam inserts instead of making new ones… take your X-Acto knife and just cut around your tools cut out the ones you need and hot glue them onto a new piece of foam because you have already cut out the shapes now just glue them to a new foam piece.. with your X-Acto knife just cut out the ones you don’t want put them in another toolbox take the ones that you do need hot glue them onto a new board and you’re good to go..
I feel like you went backwards. Put a rag or layer of foam on top of the tools in each drawer. The lock will hold the drawers closed.
I glued plexi glass to the foam and it makes for a solid foundation.
3rd watch
Super rad...well designed and ready for action! Now if you would help me organize our van to fit our kids bikes more easily...growing pains! Thanks for spreading the stoke!
You do realize Brian that when you turn the key 🔑 to your old tool box it locks the drawers shut. 🤦♂️
Not true. His locking system is not working anymore.
Keep everything in your box!! It’s not like you’re carrying it on your back when riding!!
6:24 😂🤣👍 *I've been FOAMING AWAY* 😂🤣👍
7:37 KNIPEX electronic cutter thingys 😂🤣
*Knipex Electronics super knips comfort grip*
Oooohhh, W E R A allen wrenches! Nice quality brand which goes nicely with the Waukees.
When you next go to whistler you should do the Whistler triple crown
Hmm...pardon me for being blunt, and I love your channel. But.....1. You'll swap that for the drawer system very shortly after it comes out, after you've experienced that system for a bit. 2. You carefully created cut foam places to prevent rattling around, but then just tossed things in the bins on the top two levels. ??? That's going to be a rattle trap unless you at least get some drawer liner rubber, or something to create a soft surface in those bins. It strikes me that you "solved a problem" that didn't really exist, when you could have just added a couple of eye rings and a bungee cord to hold the drawers shut on the old one, and modified some of the foam inserts rather than starting over. In the long run....after having used both, drawers are FAR more convenient, and I think you'll find that out. There's a REASON mechnics used systems with drawers...they're more efficient.
Knipex is an awesome brand. All their tool especially their channel locks
I have the same Knipex and love them!!
these are the strongest plastic boxes ever they will last a life time
I agree that when the drawer system comes out, it'll be a better solution for you
A place for everything. And everything in its place.
Wow I’m early lol I’m always about 8 hours late😂😂
Same!
You didn't know you were missing your Knipex!?!? Most used tool in my box!!
9 times out of 10 when I try to go cheap on something, I end up replacing it with the more expensive option later. So in the end, I pay far more! It's often cheaper in the long-run to just pay the extra for higher quality and/or greater functionality.
I have this permanently mounted in the back of my Jeep - it’s a great system. I can’t wait for the drawer version for easier access. I have one setup for 4wheeling and another for biking - no complaints yet!
Milwaukee brand, expensive?? NO WAY! People go crazy for it? NO WAY!
😂😂😂
"Get it, got it, over it..." Man, I can sure relate to that! But, "Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten." Nothing like buying "good enough", only to end up buying the quality item later anyway. Makes the cost even worse! My motto is, do your research, figure out what is the best solution, then shop for price. If you can get a good price on the best solution, that's just icing on the cake. Frequently, that comes with being patient... Which is a virtue for my final cliché 😁
You're on youtube.... watch a sticker removal video. There has to be a way. SAVE WOLVERINE!
Probably a little late BUT, check out the Craftsman VersaStack ! Similar to the locking nature of the Milwaukee Packout but Craftsman has single drawers, hinged storage units of varying depths...and less expensive if I remember correctly. AND I have both ! As an electrician I am using the Packout but for mechanics tools in my pickup I have a drawer/storage Craftsman setup...same footprint and heights of the Packout ! I also have a Craftsman drawer/storage setup of traveling snowmobile tools and parts. Check Craftsman VersaStack out before you invest in more Packout just to compare...
I got the RIGID versions of this stuff. Priced a lot better and the one thing I really like is the open top crate that they sell with it too. Either way, nice stuff and great solid storage solutions.
Seems your system isn't designed for your specific need. 5S'ing drawers (what you're calling Kaizen foam) is for waste elimination. It eliminates time wasted hunting for tools. What it is NOT designed for is what a van-life person really needs: Space utilization. The mantra of Vanlife people (or at least the few that I watch) is better and better space utilization. 5S isn't that. Along those same lines, that Milwaukee system seems to consume a LOT of space to allow for that modularity and "connectability." Again, that's something I wouldn't think you would need in a van, especially when you have to sacrifice that all-important space to get it.
I'm not saying either 5S or that Milwaukee system are bad, they just seem to be completely at odds with the ultimate goal of van life design.
Cut the old box up, and use the panels with stickers as wall art.
That was my thought as well. Black metal wall art with your vintage sticker collection. Can't beat that.
Brian, I thought I'd check on ebay for you but that sticker is worth a lot of money. A similar one is listed for 140 something bucks. There is one of those in a group of like 10 stickers for $99... 🤷♂️
nipex lol. It is pronounced lik with the K So, K-nipex. In Dutch, K-nip mean Cut, K-nippen means Cutting. They are very high quality cutters. K-nippers LOL
I’ve been waiting on Packout for years but yesterday they had a sale of $140 off every $300 you spend… I bought a $1000 worth. Lol
Lol when I find my MTB videos mixing with my milwaukee packout videos.
Love the pack out system. I honestly never considered it for my bike stuff though. Good idea.
Sticker hack, turn your stickers into magnets using magnet sheets. Even works for old stickers if you can peel them off.
If you stil have the tool box you can use some ptfe (teflon) to gently remove stickers. You can buy sheets bars and rods of it on Amazon. I used a chissel i made out of 1/8 in sheet to remove a shipping lable from a cardboard box without even any of the brown box fibers sticking to the label. Worth a try to save the sticker
ok fine, I guess I'll watch your milwaukee advertisement.
I have some of their power tools and love them, but I've been avoiding even looking at their packout system because from the little marketing materials I've seen about them, I know they are going to be overpriced as hell. but I like bkxc so I guess I'll see what it's all about finally
Finds best pair of micro pit bull grp pliers aka 40 dollar pocket knipex "did'n even know I was missing those" #firstworlissue
Stickers LOL I have a crappy toolbox in my garage that I won’t get rid of because of the stickers I have on it LOL
(Just kidding around) - I wounder where Milwaukee got such great idea to lock cases together Ingenious....Oh I now remember- "Festool" the German company, they have been doing that for decades. Nice set up. Seeing that you were willing to drop the cash did you happen to look into the Pelican case options?
Just as a suggestion...if you were to use a slightly more denser version of foam than that of the foam used for you Gopro. You would find it works better than the rigid foam that you used for the box's. Reason being because it has more spring to it. You just trace things out as you did then you just cut inside the line and the foam will then wrap the tool naturally and hold it in place.
There is also a product out there that has to be used in well ventilated space but what you do is - poor it into the draw then let it set up a bit and then just press the tool down into it and wait for the product to cure thus no cutting and digging out required and you get a nice snug fit.
Question are you going to ever make that round head tube BKXC??? That would be rad. I see you have them on your bike but not in color like your logo! Big Coodos from around Bend Oregon out!
Love the video!
Oh no, that top one will rattle like crazy. I am just like Bryan, I hate little loose stuff, creaking sounds in the bike. That is my pet peeve
Since you have all those Kaizen trays why didn't you get several of the thinner boxes and put a tray in each instead of having the big container that you have to have to stack them in. Seems like for every job you've got to pull those trays out. Will the foam stand up to that?
oh and i guess im a little late but you could rout the table down and recess the packout plate if you really want a little extra room between it and the bottom of the storage box hanging above as show in your vid. maybe even get away with cutting the carpeting out from under and see if a few millimeters does the trick.
All kinds of nice quality tools for your bike, expensive camera gear and you say the toolbox is expensive?
RIP Craftsman Box. 🙏
I am on the fence about buying the packout system, it is feature rich, and price prohibitive.. yes we pay for good engineering, but damn.
I just googled it and he could not have paid more than maybe $400 for everything? Doesn't seem like a bad deal to me.
What are those black posts that you have wrapping around your screws at 8:19? Please and thank you!
We love those DIY project. Great stuff Brian!
there are a ton of private people out in the market now that are making things that you can also add to these... check out etsy, or even youtube videos, and just search milwaukee packout hacks/tips/add ons.. there is some good stuff out there!
If you peel the sticker off you can make it into a magnet. You can buy magnet sheets with adhesive backing on Amazon
TIM from Canada if you were going to re-purpose and throw away your toolbox but you have stickers you want to save that is on either of the sides or the top of steel wood aluminum or plastic what do you do? Use a grinder and cut off what you need.. keep the pieces that you want drill some holes in there and this way you can fasten it to some thing that is in the area you want to keep
Honestly your head is going to be wrecked with the new set up. Removing all those levels to get to each section will get old quickly and it will end up like a bucket with tools tossed in. The slide tool box was the best set up and a couple of tabs tacked to the front with a removeable bar to retain the drawers would be the way forward.
The Packout is still not right for me, but it is enough that I can modify the components to fit my needs. I couldn't with the other systems.
Little does he know the wolverine sticker is worth more then his tools and home put together lol Jk it’s probably worth nothing I just thought it was funny
lol we use the same craftsman toolbox. but mine doesn't rattle around in the back of a truck for 1000's of miles so it's still fine :P
Hi , so if you trace and cut away the carpet and you will save maybe 3/16 in height !
@BKXC they have cleats you can buy separately and can place on your case for go pros so you can clip it onto the Milwaukees as well
Milwaukee got it with their system ,last I knew there are 94 separate components available
Trust me, Once you start buying Packout gear. Its impossible to stop
Does Milwaukee build a wardrobe armoire? for those who are in need of clothing upgrade.
I do some mobile repairs and I’ve been debating tool boxes (portable tool box) looking at a dewalt toolbox
Nic B , You cant really ever be too prepared. Getting pretty handy there bro ! Great job.
No, but there's this think called "the law of diminishing returns." You can keep spending and adding to the point where it just isn't worth it.
Woa and im here looking for a spoke wrench in my city with no luck lol
U can easily make the notches u need for a spoke wrench on another tool just machine it out with a dremel. Put the shape at the handle end of an adjustable 🔧 or anything. 2 tools in one 🤙
You say kaizen and then youre doing a sort. Hello fellow Lean Practitioner hahaha
Lol...
Jazzed over spending more than they are worth!
I don't own many Milwaukee tools, but the Packout is so well built and versatile... I invested in one set for main stuff and use cheaper boxes/systems for secondary stuff. The little organizer tubs have holes on the back to hang off screws too. Really well thought out.
Yeah, I almost didn't buy them because the price can get pretty crazy but after the initial sticker shock, I've never regretted buying them. Very good system.
It'll last....till Milwaukee bring out a new packout 😂
Dewalt tough system 2.0 is. By far a better organisation system and it doesnt catch the eye as much as the red box
How did you monut the slide out to the floor. Do you have the link's to what you used. Thanks 😊
Drawers are wayyyy better. I think you may have made a mistake getting allured by the pack out hype
It’s been 10 months, how are you liking this setup?
As soon as you shed a tool, you're going to need it says I the pack rat.
What app/website do you use to find new MTB trails?
Hmmm... they have a pack out with drawers that pull out like a tool box
Can you lock the boxes out to the tray so they cannot be (easily) stolen? I noticed you have a lock on the plywood box above your tool boxes.
This is a great system for tradesmen who have to carry a lot of tools to and from the job site every day. It's really not good for anything else at the price.
Thanks Man!!! Now i gotta go F*#*@N buy one!!!
dang! That's hella nice!
Nice setup
Jeep people and overlanders are starting to use these as well. I plan on doing something similar for my LJ. Thanks for sharing. Great video. 👍🏼
Nice set up won’t be able to access the tools very easily when the van doors close though
I had that exact same sticker way back when. Thank you for doing this video. Gave me ideas to create a mini travel tool box to take with me when I go riding.
What the berm peak sticker? I want to ride and Seth‘s backyard😂
Nice Video!
That thing is pretty cool! Now I just need to buy a van so I can get one. 😂
Man Tupperware! That's what wife calls it anyways.
They just came out with a drawer system that would work much better with your hand tools
Would love a follow up on your experience with the system. I'm about to replace my 5 different tool bags/boxes with a full packout setup.
It has been pretty great for me. Especially since I take my tools up to my property back and forth. So I can keep everything in the garage nice and tidy, and load it into the car. I ended up taking it out of my van because I didn't need all that stuff!
Your van is more like a DIY lover rather than a professional tradie.
