This week, instead of shining a spotlight on one of the incredible brands in our catalogue, we are having a literal toolbox talk – about how choosing a tool storage eco-system can help make your life easier, and more efficient on site.

 

There are many eco-systems to choose from, but this week we’re focussing on the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ system. Modular, stackable, and highly customisable, this tool storage platform is designed to grow to suit your needs and keep your tools organised for efficiency and ease, this is Milwaukee’s premium storage option for job-ready pros – or the professionally minded!

 

Instead of a single toolbox this storage eco-system uses interlocking units that fit together securely for stress-free transport. You can combine totes, boxes, organisers, drawers, cabinets, rolling bases, and even accessories like racks and wall plates into one cohesive system.

 

Built with you in mind the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ system is made with an impact resistant polymer and IP65 rated seals for better durability under real job site conditions, including damage from water.

 

A firm favourite of organised pros in any industry, shop our range of Milwaukee PACKOUT™ here to get organised.

 


Why Choose a Tool Storage System

 

A good tool storage system gives every tool, bit and accessory a designated place. That means no more digging through bins or boxes searching for what you need, everything you’re looking for is visible and accessible, giving you more time to focus on the job.

 

With an eco-system like the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ you can get your setup exactly how you want it; large boxes for power tools, small organisers for fasteners, and rolling trolleys for mobility – not to mention on site essentials such as radios and coffee tumblers. You buy what you need, and expand as you go.

 

All your pieces work together, locking securely so they don’t shift during transport, and making them easier to store away when not in use.

 

Plus, the durability and construction of the modules means that your tools are protected, even on the toughest job sites.

 

Easy to store, easy to move, easy to use – perfect for anyone serious about organisation.

What’s in the System

 

Our ideal set up to get started is the typical, go to stack for everyday site use: trolley for easy transport over rough terrain, large box for bulky items, slim organiser for small bits, and a large crate for quick storage.

 

However, if you’re looking to go beyond the basics, you can customise your set up as much as you want, with a full range of boxes and storage options in different shapes and sizes. There is also a range of drinkware and coolers, and even a site radio that fits with your system perfectly.

 

Milwaukee PACKOUT™ Tool Boxes & Organisers

The heart of the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ system – a full range of tool boxes and organisers in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit your needs. From cabinet cases, tool trays, and pack crates, to more complicated drawer tool boxes, our selection gives you everything you need to build out your ultimate tool storage stack.

 

Fully modular, the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ case organisers fit with your PACKOUT™ case and are ideal for loose items that don’t need a foam inlay (such as fixings, fastenings, and bits) to stop your small items getting lost.

 

The PACKOUT™ range also includes foam inserts and inlays to add even more organisation and versatility to your tool storage system. Designed to be easily cut into shape to give each of your tools its own space in your stack for quick access and protection.

 

Milwaukee PACKOUT™ Trolleys

 

The ideal way to move your Milwaukee PACKOUT™ kit. We stock four options in Milwaukee rolling storage including the PACKOUT™ Rolling Tool Chest for efficient transport over rough terrain, the PACKOUT™ 2 Wheeled Cart for heavier loads, the PACKOUT™ Flat Trolley for on-site or workshop convenience, and the PACKOUT™ Trolley Box as an all-round storage system. All designed to the same high-performance and quality, and completely compatible with the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ system, they are the perfect companion for your tool storage.

 

Milwaukee PACKOUT™ Tool Bags, Totes, & Backpacks

 

Of course, not every job suits a trolley. We also stock a range of Milwaukee PACKOUT™ tool bags, totes, and backpacks that offer even more convenience for carrying a smaller selection of your core Milwaukee tools to and from the job site.

Offering you a more versatile option when a trolley is too big or awkward to get you where you need to be (like a rooftop), these tool bags, totes, and backpacks easily click into the rest of your PACKOUT™ kit when you’re done.

 

Milwaukee PACKOUT™ Lighting

 

Keep your site well-lit and safe with the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ site lights. We stock three options in the Milwaukee M18 POALC-0 18V Area Light, the Milwaukee M12 POAL-0 12V Area Light, and the Milwaukee M12 ALIP-0 12V Floodlight.

 

As part of the Milwaukee PACKOUT™ modular storage system, they can be connected to other cases and storage boxes within the range, giving you lighting on and off the stack!

 

Milwaukee PACKOUT™ Radios

 

The ultimate jobsite sound system with 4 full range speakers and a subwoofer with passive resonator giving you a balanced 360-degree sound for large and outdoor spaces.

 

Designed to fit with your Milwaukee PACKOUT™ stack, making it easy to transport and store this critical part of your work day.

 

Milwaukee PACKOUT™ Drinkware & Tumblers

 

The perfect accessory for long days on the job site, Milwaukee PACKOUT™ tumblers, coolers, and drinkware, help keep you on your feet during the busiest days.

 

We stock a range of hard cooler boxes, vacuum insulated tumbler cups for your early morning coffee or tea, and multiple options in vacuum insulated drinks bottles.

 

Who is tool storage for?

 

Mobile Workers: Service technicians, professionals across trades working from site to site. Basically anyone operating out of vans, or frequently on the move.

 

Highly Specialised Workers: People who need a higher-level of organisation in their workshop or workspace to access the right tools or inventory quickly and easily.

 

Site-Specific Workers: Those looking to keep track of their tools and equipment on busy sites, particularly when needing heavy-duty, waterproof storage for protection from tougher environments.

 

Serious DIYers: People who have a growing tool collection, but need a dedicated storage solution that will grow with them long-term.

 

Where to start with your tool storage set up

 

If you’re looking to improve your every day on site experience, then investing in serious tool storage is a great first step.

 

We recommend that you start with what you use most, making sure that your daily tools and accessories are within easy reach. Make sure you’re organising with purpose by separating out your fixings from your power tools, and using hooks and side storage to hold your most regularly used accessories (like your PPE, or lighting).

 

Don’t forget that your heavy items will need to go on the bottom so your stack stays stable!
