Milwaukee Packout
Reddit take

Pros
- Packout is king and if there is something better I’ll happily move over to that system. I do residential remodeling and bring a ton of tools onsite. From carpentry to plumbing to electrical to paint. There’s no better system to keep thin...
- Its great for home use. 1 box is entirely residential electrical stuff, 1 entirely plumbing, 1 entirely paint and plaster etc... Knowing I need to change a light fixture, and having a box with everything including hardware is great. Ma...
- I have the Milwaukee packout and quite a few. The rigid ones are also really good and much better price point
- Packout is the most diverse(and most expensive), but for good reason.
Cons
- Plus it just brightly advertises “come take my shit”
- Even if you do it’s hundreds of dollars for red plastic.
- Not to me and I’m a “full blown contractor” level builder. It’s like paying a subscription to Milwaukee.
- A rolling tote and two Packout crates are very handy for any project. You can load it up and wheel it around. Otherwise, probably not worth it more than that.
- Milwaukee packouts are over priced i think.

Packout is king and if there is something better I’ll happily move over to that system. I do residential remodeling and bring a ton of tools onsite. From carpentry to plumbing to electrical to paint. There’s no better system to keep things organized and move as easily. I started with a milk crate, then moved to soft bags then to Ridgid boxes (which I still use) and now fully converted to Packout. Without a doubt I feel Packout is worth it.

Its great for home use. 1 box is entirely residential electrical stuff, 1 entirely plumbing, 1 entirely paint and plaster etc... Knowing I need to change a light fixture, and having a box with everything including hardware is great. Makes cleanup super easy, and if someone needs help, easy to toss in the trunk.

I don't have any packout, other than the packout-compatible m18 vacuum. So far, I'm unwilling to have that much 'steal-me red' on display, and they cost a lot. But if I did start buying packout organizers, it would be mostly for the small stuff
