Milwaukee. I got tboned going 60mph by someone going 70. My milwaukee rolling box and med box were in the bed loose they flew 110 yards flipping and spinning. Rolling box wheel bent and slide handle broke but sevral hundred dollars worth of tools safe and sound box didnt come open or break or crack. Med box went just as far. All drills batteries were fine the handle cracked on the packout but still functions fine. Still waterproof and everything in it was safe still going strong. I on the other hand broke my humerous (upper arm) in 3 places ans now have a 12inch plate full of screws forever in my arm. But when i went back to work i bought another set of milwaukee packouts they take a beating and keep what i need to get the job done safe. So i cant argue with that abuse and how well they did. So until some thing can do better than that ill stick to what works.

I think there's a secondary reason to that handle locking to the Box. Takes the weight of the Box off the lid 👍

I work in the film industry and got sick of carrying my husky bag by hand. The pack out caught my eye and I haven't looked back. Love the big wheeled box. I can have 3 things stacked on top and roll it down stairs, mud, sand....you name it. It has helped me get more done and be more efficient. Looks very professional compared to people that roll in with a bunch of milk crates bungeed together.

Not ashamed to admit that I initially chose Milwaukee because my favourite colour is red 😂 but I’ve stayed with Milwaukee over the years getting more tools, more batteries and recently a pack out with a bunch of organizers. Super happy with it all 🤘🏼👌🏼

The only issue I have with Milwaukee’s Packout system....I collect them like freakin’ Pokémon!! 😂 Great channel...great vid...thanks Vince!

That's scary, i found this feature on my packout by accident whilst moving my box. So glad as the latches were open.

I started with Dewalt Tough System about five years. It was good system to store tools at an affordable price. I could not justify paying for Milwaukee Packout just to hold my tools. Then Packout went on sale, I purchased a 3 piece set. I realized what I been missing. Packout is superior in strength, features, versatility, and Packout has more boxes, bags and accessories then Tough System, Systainers, Ridgid, and Bosch put together. Sorry Dewalt, but the Tough System just can't compete with Packout even the new 2.0.

I just spent a small fortune on Milwaukee pack out and I don’t regret it at all. I was really torn on buying more m18 batteries or upgrading tool storage and I am very happy I did. I don’t miss having tool bags, 5 gallon buckets, armfuls full of junk, going up 15 stairs to a bathroom remodel. I love how organized my site storage situation is now.

First off, love the channel, love the VCG community. Secondly, Im even more glad I chose the Milwaukee Packout now 😅

I hadn’t paid attention to that feature in the Milwaukee handle. Nice!! I think Milwaukee has done an awesome job designing their packout. Fit and finish is awesome. It is a little more expensive than others, but they have created an awesome variety of packout offerings to provide more solutions. My favorite packout item is the Crate! Great video, have an awesome night!

So a guy looked at his igloo cooler latch and said hmmm I have a idea lol

I use the Milwaukee system because the handle locks the lid. It has saved me a number of times. Live confidently and peacefully

I like on the Milwaukee packout the large box with the wheels if you look under the lid you'll see a few small screw holes those fit perfectly for the battery charger so when you open the lid you can leave your battery charger safely Inside the Box instead of plugging it in somewhere where someone could steal it

I have dewalt, rigid, and Milwaukee. Mostly because I couldn’t justify the cost of all Milwaukee. But for 100% better bet if it comes off my truck on a regular basis it is in a Milwaukee packout.

Stick with the brand that takes the time to put itself in the shoes of the tradesman and designs products from that experience.

😂 😂 I dropped my screw organized once. It went everywhere. Last call (emergency call at 1am). I had my shop vac, toolbag, and screw organizer out. Plugged in my shop vac. 😂

Packout boys... Milwaukee forever 🦾🔨

You know Milwaukee is tough when Vince actually sit on them.

I didn’t even notice that feature on my packout box. Just that little innovation makes such a monumental difference. Even from a safety standpoint it’s huge. Thanks for pointing that out for us Vince. Love my Packout 👍

Freaking brilliant!!!! Now I know exactly which piece I'm adding to my PACKOUT setup next. Thanks, Vince!

I have the same packout. I realised today that the black trays in the top have already broken off at the corner and are now laying in the bottom. Brittle plastic and it's only a few months old.

Some might think this is no big deal, but yeah that's a big deal. At least with me... I do reconstruction for a flood company and when there's days that I have to go to 2 or 3 different jobs, that little feature is HUGE.

I pack all my Makita in the best system. The Milwaukee Pack Out. Durable, tons of options, and at a affordable prize. This is in Denmark, Europe.

Its easy: if it is yellow & black, put it back! Milwaukee all the way except for table saw(Bosch), big hammer drill(Bosch bulldog), belt sander(porter cable), plunge router (Bosch).

seems simple but makes the biggest difference ever i never even noticed

Bout to get some merch and finally become a member of the very cool gang!🙏

Recently started buying Milwaukee Packout systems because of your videos. It's has already saved me tons of time. Glad to see another feature it offers.

Awesome example of how a small mistake can tax the hell out of you and/or be engineered out of the equation

Love the energy you bring to every video 👍🏽

I found that feature purely by accident the same day I bought the box. This is why I love Milwaukee tools. They're not satisfied with just slapping their logo on a product that's just like everyone else's. They use innovation and ingenuity to make it a step above the rest.

I love my packout system. The only beef I have with it: Milwaukee should’ve sized the drawer width up in the 2 and 3 drawer packouts to better accommodate their tools. Their m18 fuel grinder, m18 grease gun, and m18 fuel sawzall BARELY fit in the drawers, and they take up so much real estate in one drawer that it’s impossible to get more than just that given tool in the box. 1.5 inches wider and both the sawzall and grinder would fit perfectly in the same drawer

Milwaukee here, I just love all the options. Ridgid is the BEST bang for your money.

Thank you for your enlighting clips! Personally, and for my needs at an apartment home, I ended up buying the DEWALT TSTAK Tool Storage Organizer system. Yes it's not as big as those you're showing, but after looking around thoroughly, I ended up buying the TSTACK system for three main reasons : 1) Its size - compact but still roomy, having a width of about 17 + 1/2 inch it would perfectly fit along the depth of my closet; 2) Choices of different storage box for custom system configurations - I bought one deep drawer, and another element with two drawers (yes, *_drawers_* with sliding rails and that can be locked in place so that they don't inadvertently open, are super practical in such stacking system, as there's no need to unstack them boxes for some top access) ; the top storage is a standard tool chest (designed along the kit) and has a large and tall handle - another model has a standard handle ; the bottom storage is a deep chest. Both the deep and standard chests have a storage tray inside, and the drawers have dividers/containers. 3) in order to move the system around, there are three choices : stacked together, they can be carried using the large handle on the top storage (there's also a standard storage chest without large handle, only a standard one). For moving the stack around without effort, we have the choice between a 4-wheel cart with breaks (the top storage handle would be used), or a trolley with its own handle (the top storage doesn't need to have a large handle). I bought the 4-wheel cart.

Everytime a dewalt loyalist watches a packout roll onto a job site they die a little more on the inside

I love the Packout over the TStak/DeWalt. That has made Milwaukee money.

Since I’ve went to the Milwaukee pack out boxes I know exactly where everything is for each and every job. The durability is great

That just happened to me yesterday with my large pack out box.I looked down and was like WOW I GOT LUCKY. But now I realize Milwaukee had my back. It didn’t even register in my mind it did that.

Both have pros and cons. I love the drawer systems and dewalt started that. I use all drawers cause I like to stack and keep stacked. Being organized saves time but pulling apart containers to get to other containers is a huge waste of time. Sometimes you're in a tight area and have to stay stacked high. We stack 6 or 7 drawers high and each one is marked with what's in them so you just pull drawers grab what you need and go. It also keeps you from bending over for each tool.

The only thing is many Packout Boxes (with lids) lack this feature. I generally carry my boxes by the side handles which doesn't have the box opening issue.

I’m new this year to Milwaukee tools beyond the drill/impact driver set I bought 3 years ago. This year due to circumstances l couldn’t control, I found a need to purchase a few more cordless tools and extensive research led me to more Milwaukee tools. Last week I found the Packout base cart box on sale (40% off) and decided to grab it and figured I would use it and stack my tool bags on it to make jobsite tool transfer easier. I liked that cart box so much, that I also grabbed the 22” box and the front door box as well. Got em both at another really good sale and in total, saved $155 between the 3 units. I’m impressed by the strength,versatility and storage capacity of them and will be on the lookout for other deals on more Packout cases because I absolutely can’t stand any of the other brand’s systems with their limitations and lack of ingenuity. I’ve never been stuck on any particular brand before, but this year I have become a Milwaukee guy, because every one of the (now) 14 tools and 3 packout cases I’ve purchased, has exceeded my very critical expectations. No offence to DeWalt guys, but Milwaukee is just better. Full stop.

I'm a Master plumber and I use Milwaukee tools. I used to use Dewalt but Milwaukee did a better job on harder projects. We do commercial new work and I bought the packout system and didn't realize that simple thing until I got to the truck. It has saved me time. Good video bub.

Great Job Vince, never realized that and I have 3 sets of PackOuts, LOL......

That is fantastic to know, like I said, your videos are extremely informative, keep them coming

Straight up would never have thought of that if you hadn't pointed it out... but dude I've been the guy picking shit up off the floor 🤣🤣

When Packout was released I thought they were overhyped. I’ve been happy w/ my Rigid boxes for years. Needed a 2nd setup, & got a Packout on sale. They’re not cheap, but they save me time, frustration & money This hidden feature is a real butt saver.

Vince and VCG why you give me more reasons to buy the Milwaukee Packout especially when I don't need it 😂🤣 Great job guys! Thank you for the info!

That's just one tiny reason why packout is light years ahead of dewalt.

Good evening Vince, and the VCG staff. I would argue that you are loyal to humanity. You identify strengths as well as weaknesses so that we can make a decision that best suits us. What works for you, may not meet a specific need of mine, but thanks to your analysis, I can now make an informed decision. Thank you. God bless you and the Very Cool Gang.

Not to mention that the Packout is just made with better and heavier materials than the Dewalt boxes. It just stands to reason that Milwaukee's boxes are going to last longer and stand up better.

Dont mind throwin TOOLS back in the box (I'll tidy them up later) but fasteners.. Sheesh! I've had that happen before, so I put 'em in little plastic ziplock bags for that very reason Packout's a bit big and chunky for me, and now Flex is out, I'll wait til our hardware stores have those - like with batteries, I'd like to stick to one system, but I''ll prob have one for small stuff, another for big stuff -- Greetngs from London, keep em coming Vince!

Good job 👍 Continue the great Videos and demonstrations!👍🧰🪛🪜🪚🔧🔨⚒🛠😍

Genius Genius Genius!! 👍👍👍👍

Tstack earns me the most. The 4 wheel trolley makes the system boss. The solid body tote makes 'friday 4pm packouts' seamless.

I like your reviews the best because your realistic and put different scenarios. You give brands a fair chance and comparisons. Your 1000% right depending on what your working on will give you an idea what system or brand is right for you. Im running ryobis 18v platform with about 20 tools but also I have Milwaukee 12v tools also. Its plenty for me as a DIY and general residential repairs. At the moment im doing a full remodel and buying new tools I need.

Sweet I didn’t even know that! Love your show brotha!

That’s a great feature! Thx for sharing

Wasn't sure if I wanted the rest after buying the packout cart, I just bought it to help me move other heavy things and because it looked cool. I'm personally pleased with the packout cart but I haven't tried others, it's a lack of experience with carts for me. That said, i'm so glad you talked me into these packout tool boxes to go with the cart. Love the handle feature and I need that as i've made messes in a hurry just like you described.

I absolutely love that locking feature of those pack outs. Fantastic. One of the first things I noticed about them a few years ago. Amazed my brother when I showed him… he never knew it.

I use both brands. Dewalt system in the van on a wall rack and Milwaukee for small on the go grab n run work. Both serve my needs perfectly.

That is an awesome 👌 feature..lol..never thought of that!..thanks ...I would have never known!!.YOU the man!!!!

Great explanation and demonstration. Are you interested in the new FLEXTOOLS line coming to Lowe's?

I can remember doing Ross stores with buckets of parachute bags for all the fasteners. Thought we were pretty slick back then.

I work at a big box store where we sell both brands. I am also a gadget "nut" by heredity so, when I saw the Milwaukee had an interesting latching/slide connection I had to investigate it further. I'd have to say that IMO it would come in handy when cleaning up carriers in a hurry, but the front circular unlock mechanism is a bit of a struggle when trying to un-connect boxes (especially if filled with heavy tools). While watching you video I was thinking up ways to demonstrate the handle feature side b side in stores. Milwaukee has come up with a tool box innovation that has changed toolboxes for generations. Think about it how many times do those lid latches break off??? Now that tool box became useless to you, because of the reason you showed us.

My first week as a plumber apprentice i picked up a Milwaukee organizer filled up with screws and didn't realize it wasn't locked so i dropped everything, and it fell through the floor at the job site, luckily it was when we were all leaving so nobody saw me 😭

It's the little things that make the difference. I love milwaukee. I'm from Wisconsin so it feels good to support a local company. Reps come on to job sites from time to time giving out free stuff and letting guys try out the latest and greatest milwaukee products.

Great video! I bought my first one a month ago, I'm a milwaukee guy, but I got a ridgid for my all my irrigation parts... but now after seeing this, I'm gonna get milwaukee for all my screws, nuts and bolts!

5:44 Dropping a “parts box/organizer” and having everything spill out, is up there with being FRUSTRATING and “having a bad minute or two”. Especially since ya know, “small parts” end up GOING EVERYWHERE across a floor! Definitely sucks when it happens (& it does); & is also why we have several “pickup magnets” for such a thing. Than what we do for the “non magnetic” pieces....funny as it may sound, but have pantyhose that we connect to intake on shop vac and suck all those parts up; right inside the panty hose(if really in hurry, will just suck everything up w/ shop vac and pantyhose and sort it out L8R). That way we can sort & reorganize everything back at shop and not on jobsite taking up time; cuz “paying” the tab for missed sales is not making [Us] money🤪 It’s those “little” things like this on a product that “makes” them even better, imo👍🏻 To answer the question....I’ve got more Packout now than I do DeWalt TSTAK, or Tough System now. Packout sure is expensive, but do like the mods they have ppl are doing/making for them, and durability & “details” that they offer. Besides, VCG Fam don’t pay full price for Packout (or tools), we grab those DEALS! Thx Vince for the vid, and have a good one VCG FAM✌🏻

Yo Vince! Thank you for highlighting the most important feature of all, the truth. Take care and God bless! 😁👍✌

It’s these small things that justifies the increase in price for the Milwaukee system. If you dump 2 boxes of screws it has made up the price vs the dewalt

Great info, great channel.

Love the packout Only one I will buy and you guys are great keep up the great videos.

Well being an hvac service technician the Milwaukee packout system is my #1 go to system. But I also have the ridgid stack system with the ridgid crate & the ridgid works good for my woodworking stuff. Awesome videos btw

I used to turn my nose up at packout mostly due to price. After trying a couple of the organizers for a while though, I ditched my rigid stack and re thought how I oregano my stack. Now I have a half stack organizer half stack tote and the vacuum for my EDC all on the compact dolly. I ditched the base unit to save room in my Nissan juke, and just line my back floor boards with my power tools. There's a deep organizer and a compact organizer I leave in the car for my parts stock. This combined with a back seat delete allows me to carry 14,000' of ethernet cable along with all my tools, bam! 75 runs in the ceiling on day 1 by my self! An added bonus is I'm not banging a huge stack into walls trying to get to my work area!

Wow, never noticed this. Owned these boxes for over a year. I guess I just always latch em ;)

Great observation Vince!! I’m Packout for life!! Go big red! Great video Vince!

I ended up going with the Milwaukee system even though I have a bunch of DeWalt tools. I liked it because I feel like I can see things better on the red background. Also the locking system is very nice. Overall if you go by the cart base piece , it’s very solid

That one feature alone would be enough to sway me toward Milwaukee

I love your Videos. Best regards from Germany👍

That was the best least cringe relatable factual and most energetic intro I’ve ever seen! Love your energy the first 60 sec earned my sub fr

This feature has actually saved me a couple times this year.

Took 7 minutes to state "the handles on the Milwaukee make it so stuff doesn't spill when forgetting to latch". Bit ironic when mentioning "time is money" multiple times.

Wish it was some of the same fetures on the Slim organiser that I use with my back pack every day. It’s just to easy to popp the lid open.

I bought my Packout stack in Dec '19 and accidentally discovered this feature last month. Great vid as always Vince.

Milwaukee is what’s saving me space and keeping my tools organized.

7:10 is when he finally gets to the point

I'm a big fan of Bauer tools. But I'm not a contractor. I'm a truck driver that is a firearms instructor on the weekends and diy things to save money. So far, it's more than adequate for me.

I’ve got Ridgid boxes, dewalt boxes and Milwaukee packout boxes... just got the drawers now too,, yesterday.. I like the Milwaukee best I only have Milwaukee in my van now... ..

That’s why I returned my rigid boxes and got Milwaukee pack out!!!

At the time I was investing in an install system for our custom kitchens, PackOut was by far the best most durable system out there. It is a little on the heavy side, but that is what gives you the durability in my opinion. The DeWalt system looks pretty good now though! Good for them for stepping up their game. It does look like their dolly/cart thing is a bit more robust than Milwaukee's. I was really interested in the packout cart when it was released but it seems a bit pricey and not as beefy as I had hoped.

Woaahhhhh! I always wondered why the latch would click on the packout. Amazing. Thanks!

Wow, that is genius! I never knew this was a feature, I am not a contractor but I've been considering buying some packout gear. This has just cemented my prospective purchase. BTW, love your informative videos and your channel.

LOL Rigid 1.0 I've been using them for well over 5 years now and they are still going strong. I do have one set of the Packout i got on sale. But i have 3 plus sets of the rigid boxes. They absolutely don't have the features of the Packout but they just keep going so I keep using them. But that is a great feature, I've done the screws all over the floor, and it is a pain to get them reorganized and time consuming.

Every time I watch your videos I end up buying something 😅

I definitely think the Milwaukee pack out is more versatile and has more options. That's pretty obvious when you see all the different attachments you can get for it. But as for the video you didn't mention the handles on the side of the DeWalt tough system boxes so if you lifted it by the sides it wouldn't spill out, just a thought. Milwaukee's design is definitely better in my opinion. Even though I have both the DeWalt 1.0 and 2.0 tough systems. I love the clear lids so you can see what's inside that is the nice touch for sure also.

So much truth is this video! It’s like you’ve followed me on job sites! Lol

I discovered this while looking at the Packout in Hime Depot... it was actually the final feature that made me go with it.

Got plenty of tool brands in my truck. Nobody pays me to use their tools, so I buy what works best for me. But they mostly get hauled to & from jobsite in Packout boxes that I purchased as soon as they was available . Had Rigid boxes & they was good bang for the buck. Packout are much stronger, durable & have held up well in new construction environment ( dirt lots, little pavement, lots of crap to climb over, etc) Very satisfied with Packout overall.

I put all my high end Ryobi tools in my light duty Milwaukee Packout! Seriously, all my Ryobi, Dewalt, and Milwaukee tools... And Black and Decker Circ saw. Thanks for the recommendation Vince.

Love my packout ! You guys helped me decide

But unfortunately it’s only the large toolbox that has that feature. The organizer that showered my floor with screws does not. That’s what the magnet on a stick is for I guess
