I’ve been watching this for the past 3 minutes and still don’t understand what he did,.. like everyone is saying just remove the 2 screws the clips aren’t doing much, my head hurts

The clips replace the screws job to secure the handle when you want to use it..Bro was one sentence away from not confusing everybody

Love how he is modifying the packout with a Dewalt drill lol. But seriously that is a good fix.

I bought an $1800 cover for my truck bed. The way it works out is every time you have it on you wish it was off. Next time it’s off and you wish it it was back on. Ultimately you sell to someone else for $200.

Sorry. I dont understand this. Why not just remove the screw? Why bother with the clips or additional holes ?

don't forget to spray paint the holes you drill to prevent rust

Why not just replace the screws with something with a wing nut / thumb turn?

For those confused, he removed the screws and replaced them with the clips. Now when he wants to remove the handle, he just unclips instead of having to take out the screws every time.

To make it clear, he drilled all the way through into the handle aswel as the outer plastic, so the clips go through the plastic and the handle inside, that is how the clips are holding the handle. Great idea 👍

That one meme comes to mind… I bet he wishes he had a truck right now…

Lmao, I bought the ridgid tool box for that same reason, super easy to take off. All my power tools are Milwaukee, but all my tool boxes are ridgid 🤣

Fits in my truck jus fine! It's an open bed🤦

So I just lay it on its back.

It's a no banner boys when he drills the holes it's going through the bottom handle . If u didn't take the screws out the handle wouldn't come out watch when he pulls the handle out there's two sets of holes great job dude

The dewalt toolbox had red clips at the bottom that u can push in to remove the handles

You guys are getting trolled so hard lmao 😂😂😂 idk why nobody noticed this yet

Ridgid makes a new box. The handle comes off. I’m sure in time Milwaukee will make one similar to Ridgid’s.

Love how he takes chunks off of the wheel making that hole!

Wouldn’t those clips be ripped off taking the Packout up or down stairs? Most times it is so heavy I bump it down the stairs and would rip those clips right off.

I’m confuse what’s the purpose of drilling the holes and putting those clip things in anyway

Using a Dewalt drill / driver on a Milwaukee Packout is like a vampire bathing in Holy water, I'm surprised the drill didn't burst into flames.

I get it now. The handle already has holes in it in the spot where he is putting the clips. Idk why that hole is already there, but it is. So the clips keep the handle from sliding out when you are using the handle. Took me a while to figure that out then I noticed a hole in that spot when I looked really closely at the handles. Edit: Upon further inspection, when he says lift up the handle he only means the sliding part. He does drill through the handle but not the sliding part. This all makes sense now.

Not to be that person, but why not either lug it somewhere else on your truck, or get a tool box that can fit with the cover? Or just not have one? Another is custom foam inserts so you could lay it down? Idk, it's just the way I think.

Thought that was scott adkins for a second

The clips are there so you don't spend 30 minutes lining up the holes on your packout. This took about 5 minutes of thinking and no one in comments said it so there you go.

Hahahahahaha…so true. I hate every cover I ever had. I finally decided covered beds are called SUVs.

Never had that problem with my van. Also have permanently mounted two drawer boxes. Should be standard equipment.

I'm not going to read on all the comments, but what's the hook clip/ key chain thang fo?

Time for a truck topper or van? Maybe just lay the packout down?

I'm the biggest Milwaukee fan there is...and of course it takes a 'Dewalt' owner (brain trust) to try and start thinking. #1- First thing he needs to do is remember he owns a truck and pull back his bed cover (unless he is embarrassed around his 'Dewalt' clan to ride around with superior Milwaukee products 😮) #2- He is proving that he is a contradiction of everything...he is using Dewalt machines on Milwaukee products, he has time to film going to Ace Hardware to get product (clips) but not enough to clearly state how the telescoping handle works so that when raised all the way up, you would only be drilling through the plastic of the box and only one layer of the square tubing bottom of the handle, and that the clips are to replace the screws altogether, and now you can remove the handle completely to fit packout base under bed cover, while placing clips onto back of case, so as to keep them with the case. NOW HOW HARD WAS THAT CHUMP. Buy the right drill!

I would reccomend the Milwaukee surge impact I do really like the control and speeds and quitness of it probably one of my favorite tools by them

What if I don't have a Milwaukee Packout? I'm sitting at the edge of my truck bed waiting for instructions

It’s funny how u advertising Milwaukee using dewalt drill and making a no sense holes 😂😂😂

Tac weld a thumb nut on the end of the screw I’ve seen it when working in a bank the electrician had all of his tools in packout organized and neat. Made me wonder if he actually uses all of it 😂

If you look closely when he pulls out the handle he did in fact drill through the post but what he did was remove the 2 screws holding said handle in place so the handle could be removed the metal clips or whatever he used that was to throw you off

Or you can lay it on its back it does fit perfectly under the tonneau cover .????

Best diy I have seen in a while, works like a charm.

The clips replace the screws for easy removal , just take clips off and handle come off

The fact that you have to do that to the box in the first place is ridiculous

Great fix but I will say this. When you put the handle back in it’s going to be a pain to line up that hole. Instead take out the screws, remove handle, put a screw in permanently where the screws came out of. Now when you put the handle back in it will sit on those screws. Then you can do what you did and never worry about having to align the holes.

Good job ! And using the Dewalt to make the modifications ! Priceless

There's always that one guy that comes to with an idea that's really helpful

if you look at the handle at the end he still drilled a hole through it

Used to use a pickup for work. Did allot of work with it. Most impractical vehicle ever. I still own it but since i bought a van its only used on the weekends

Bro, I have been putting off buying this box because it wouldn't fit in my truck with the cover closed. Thank you, I can buy it now! 🙏🙏🙏

So here's what is best, sometimes, finding off brands work better. Walmart sells a line called HART. They too make a similar product. Of stackable and lockable tool and part containers with wheeled base. However, their handle collapses enough to fit in the truck.

Dewalt is taking too many shots at Milwaukee with this type of advertisement 🤣

This video was actually hilarious

I get it. The screws hold the bottom part of the telescopic handle to the box whereas the clips are supposed to clip the bottom part of the handle to the shell when the handle is attached. You remove the clips which makes the entire handle removable.

The comment section here is eye opening 👀 how do people not understand what he did???? Please don't reproduce folks. I'm pretty sure my 2 year old understood the video....

Thought that was Scott Adkins for a minute 🤣 🤣🤣

What a jerk, he's touching a Milwaukee item with a DeWalt! 😡😡😡 What a disrespect to ALL Milwaukee lovers

I usually just tip mine on its back and slide it in

I have those same drill bits. And I can say with utmost certainty. They are amazing and make me proud to be an American. What an amazing set of bits that are made in the USA

Same guy that buys drill bits because they "look cool"

He’s not explaining when he drills the 1/4” hole, he is actually drilled through the outside most handle inside the sleeve for the handles (the inner handle slides into the outer handle, hence why he said take it out) The clip just holds the outer most handle through the drilled holes. This way you don’t need to unscrew the screws each time you want to remove the handle, you just unlatch the clip!

His drill bit has Massively over heated.

I think hes drilling through the bottom of the handle and the clips are for keeping the handle functional in place with out the screws and being able to remove them and the handle.

Great idea simple and practice. 👍

I believe he drilled the hole and put the clips there so when he goes to put the Handel back on he can line it up with the clips and screw the screw back in with it properly aligned.

Bro, just used the Dewalt drill on a Milwaukee item savage

I understand the whole concept. It is very smart. Great idea. The clips are a good idea too. Thanks for the great video.

Lay it back and slide it in. 🤔

In case anybody is wondering what the snap triggers are for they are holding the

I like how he uses a Dewalt drill on his Milwaukee box.

it was like that clip on KZfaq where the guy showed you how to drill a hole in the side of your iPhone for a headphone jack

Why tf would you need the clips I am so confusion... Just is it on top like you did anyway what are the clips for?!?

Like where you shop

He made the holes in the handle as well so the clips are holding on to the handle when the screws aren’t on it’s pretty much a replacement of the screws so He don’t have to screw it on and un screw it every time he can just use the clips

Definitely beats my method of realizing it didn't fit then kicking it until it breaks.

Dewalt drill, spyder drill bit, but Milwaukee pack out u know when they got like 10 different brands it’s gonna be a sturdy build those spyder dril bits are what’s up for the. Price

I like how he used a dewalt drill for that

Just get a bigger truck and he F’ed up a sponsorship with Milwaukee by use the dewault drill 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was wondering where Travis Pastrana had gone. Now I know. 👍

so let me get this straight. this guy bought a truck. ruined it with a soccer moms bed cover. than makes a cringy video for the internet explaining how to fit a toolbox in a truck. boy what a time to be alive.

I'll never get these 5 mins. Of life back SMH!!!!!

He did screw threw the handle but the lower part of the handle not the top part and the clips actually go inside that hole. So basically now it’s a detachable handle

What job do the screws do that is replaced by the clips

Step one. Buy a van, done

Just undo the time cover save money or just pull the screws out in general

That drill bit was cute😂

This is so the Clip can act as the screw when he puts the handle back into the slots, the handle would fall out of not

Are those spyder drill bits

So drill random holes in all my tool boxes, put a Keychain in the hole and then remove it and hang it as a decoration. Got it.

The dude has a Milwaukee pack out but yet has a dewalt drill

I have a pulsing headache after watching this video more than once

What happens when you try to pull it with that handle afterwards without the screws

nice Milwaukee impact and drill

I sincerely do not understand how this works, what was the purpose of drilling the holes or buying the clips? I am so confused

ow the agony!! Drilling a Milwaukee box with a DEwalt Drill!!

Great explanation right here

Or just lay it on it’s back that’s what I do

What's the clips nd hole for again??

I'm just laughing at the massive American truck that won't even fit a toolbox in without modification

One of the reasons I chose the ridged boxes.

All these people in trades, legitimately not understanding what's going on. Kind of sad. This is a good solution to a weak point in the pack out, that does not affect the waterproofing whatsoever. Y'all, taking the handle off is so clutch. Whether it's a tonneau cover, gang box, or work van, it makes the overall profile significantly smaller. I've done the same mod with different clips and it makes storing my packout quick and easy. I have to thank you so much for the idea. I never trusted the pull pin bolts and this seems much more robust. Keep it up 💪

Ok I get it. He should have explained it better. Good hack. Bad explanation. You have to treat us all as were stupid.

Patent pending

This guy: "Pull the handle up so you don't drill through it" Also this guy: Proceeds to drill through it (Look at the bottom of the handle when he pulls it all the way out at the end)

The irony of using a Dewald to disassemble it
