Had to watch the video 5 times to understand what's going on. So they started selling square sockets in decent cases that fit into tool drawers and provided 3D " size info in the marketing imaging. Then they came out with this new pack out system, which of course fits the new square sockets. ...And instead of NOT offering the pack out trays as cheaper standalone for existing customers, They instead had the gall to YES offer these trays to absolutely anyone. ...so...hear me out....let me understand... If I have an existing set of square sockets, I can now get into the new packout system without completely replacing my socket set with a new socket set. Just to get the packout?!?! So for me, with square sockets, if I want in to the packout system...I DON'T need to buy the whole new socket set???? All I need is the new tray liner. And empty packouts? WT-Absolite-F?!?!?!???

They don't roll down your driveway with four sides so I can find my 10 mm

Feature left out: sockets are not suppose to roll when put on a flat surface.

It’s only $20 for the trays. No big deal. Not everybody has packout. I understand why they released them the way they did I think it’s awesome they are offering an alternative solution. Something for everyone! Stay safe Vinsanity !

I think that Milwaukee as a company has always tried to do good for their customers. In this case, I just don't see how they "owe" anything to anyone. (imo)

The biggest mistake Milwaukee made was not making the sockets in 12 point. As a helicopter mechanic I have the 1/4 and 3/8 SAE sets in a compact packout box, but I need them in 12 point as well.

Nothing in this world is free (except smashing the like button!) I have that set you just showed as well. I bet that the one with the Packout will be at a higher price point. The Packout Organizer is not Free it is included and included in the price. what does a guy from Bean Town know anyway! Great Vid as always

Pack out was just barely on the market when these came out. But now that it's a success they can add more products and features to it easily. Honestly they could've not even offered the trays but they did witch is cool.

@5:10 No, that’s silly, we asked them to combine them and they did. Just buy the 45 dollar box and be done and grow up. It’s life and that how it goes sometimes.

I believe Milwaukee is trying to do right by their customers, but I don’t think they owe us anything. Great job as always Vince. Really enjoy the channel.

Make it right Milwaukee and give the people what they want. FREE Pack outs for the older sets !! We pay premium for these products 💯

Don't see myself dropping sockets. Adjustable wrench fits flat side's just fine. Action of ratchet works nice in tight spaces. All around smooth & quiet. Owned several diferent brands over last 50 years these set's are my favorite.

Still 100% satisfied with all 3 sets of my ratchet socket sets. Still need 1/2" drive set. Yes I'll take the free pack out inserts

I honestly don't see the reason for their pricing with them not being made here. That's solely why I buy snap on hand tools, putting food on American tables. Hands down.

I have a set of the 3/8” drive and I absolutely love it!! It would be great to have them in a pack out so I could put it in the rest of my stack. They are a bit pricey I’m sure there would be other sets out there that are cheaper and get the job done just as quick but the Milwaukee tools are a quality tool and have a lifetime warranty. If Milwaukee is going to offer a free or discounted pack out box for that particular set I’d definitely check into it otherwise I’ll probably do without.

Hi Vince, A Big Hell No!!! Milwaukee doesn't need to give out the packout boxes if you already purchase the socket set. I get it, everyone would have like to have a packout verion with this socket set. Yet, everyone has to remember they released the socket set separate to see if people would buy the set and if sales would be worth continue with the procuct. If they start doing that then Milwaukee will start losing massive profits. Man, they already making the insert cases for the packout so you can purchase them. Yes, you will have the argument "Well it doesn't cost much to make" so they should give it to everyone for free. Come on people you purchase the product early to be the it guy or gal then you complain about the price. Then just wait a little bit longer. Look if they have waited they would all have the packout version. Man, everybody wants everything free... Milwaukee, you don't need to give everyone a free packout. Thank You, for at least making the insert for the packout.

I'm an auto mechanic and the line about using it for money to take for deposit was very funny

Still, IMO, too expensive. Even with the Pack out Capability. Cheers!

I just bought their 1/4 and 3/8 sets and got so worried I made a bad decision when I read that title and thought there was a problem with the tools them selves

I have that kit and would love it in my pack out. I don’t mind paying for the pack out trays. My problem is the availability in eastern Canada with milwaukee

I bought Kaizen foam to put into a low profile packout box. I have one side cut to size and in the box, the sockets, extensions and ratchet have been sitting on top of the kaizen waiting on me to cut around them. Now I don't have to use up the Kaizen on sockets. Thanks for the heads up VCG!

So they won't roll away on you. Or there's an inner ring where you can place a bolt to easily used socket to thread said bolt

Yes they should appreciate their customers and at least give those people who bought the premium package a discount

Sockets with flats = sales gimmick. In my 60 years, never once did I think, gee, I wish there was sockets with flats on them.

The sockets dont roll. I have 3 sets myself I have the 2 smaller packouts and I have the 106 piece. I like that they will sell the trays for those that have them already

If this is available in a few years I’d be interested I hate when companies come out with crazy sets then discontinue them and no replacement parts are available

The people who buy these tools should be handy enough to make their own trays to fit inside the pack out system.

Flat sockets don’t roll . As much .

If there's a price difference and you hold on to the receipt then yes they should give it to you that's why I have in my truck a folder strictly for Home Depot receipts my Milwaukee M18 rip saw Sawzall purchased it a year ago when it started getting hot the trigger wasn't working properly they gave me my money back to purchase a new one so it's worth holding the receipts

I just bought that exact set on ebay for $100😁 I actually prefer the slim case !

This set was actually discussed by our team In the UK. It was designed to go with the Uk market for automotive in mind. The Uk socket anvil is different than yours in the US and we has to find ways and tweaks to configure them to suit.

I enjoy having the 3/8" in the small low pro organizer I bought this past holiday season. It clicks right onto my smaller tool bag that I use for electrical and instrumentation work, and I'm able to get to the work with my hands free, and its faster to connect everything and get the hell out when I'm done.

I just saw the Milwaukee Packout socket set in the 1/4 and 3/8ths inch drive. Pretty cool. Where is the 1/2 in drive set? I like that you can get their complete 1/4 and 3/8 drive, 106 socket set as well, and don't need to buy two separate sets.

The price of 299.00 is way to high for a total of 105 sockets and wrenches

Those square sides will get hung up in the engine bay easier when you drop a socket. No chance of those hitting the floor. They don't roll...they get lost 🤣

Can get 106pc 1/4 and 3/8 at home depot online for $189 I think its today only

While I love the concept, the implementation of these trays effectively says "unless you replace your existing sockets with Milwaukee ones, you're screwed." There are tones of users with Craftsman, Snap-On, or similar sets of sockets that would LOVE TO PUT THEM IN A PACKOUT, but the available trays ONLY fit the Milwaukee square-end deep sockets. An alternate set of trays that fit round deep sockets would easily increase sales for this.

No, they don’t owe us for packaging improvements…..square sockets don’t roll away.

No... I prefer the original molded boxes. The Packout box is nice but it doesn’t fit in my tool box. It’s great that they offer both. I like my molded box so I can take my money to the bank hahahaha.

They won't roll as easy. Unfortunately thy will get stuck in engine compartment easier than round. Kind of a oversight but didn't slow me down 3/8" & 1/2" are only ones I use if I can help it no need for 12 point most of the time.

Special feature is the flats help keep the sockets from rolling away

If I remember correctly from your video back then the sockets are flat to help prevent them from rolling away. Also if I paid a premium I wouldn't want to pay extra for packout compatibility

Hell yes they should. 👊👊👊👊customers service is key...great video Vince....💪💪💪💪💥

I don't see a packout tray for the 1/2" set. It has a removable tray which does well in my Tool Chest, but since I am a guy who still frequents salvage yards .. The packout roller box is great to help me drag tools around the yard. These sockets rock, but I agree they should have come this way from the start and I hope they come up with something for the 1/2" as well.

Yes they should. That would be the right thing to do. I hope Milwaukee make it happen. I just had my order delayed I hope it comes with the pack out system now for the inconvenience. Borrowing tools now tell they come. Love them love there tools. #TeamMilwaukee #TeamRed

Mistake?….. Nope! Every year they are going to come out with another crazy design, and people are going to love it. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

I bought the 3/8 drive SAE pack out set at my local Home Depot this past Christmas season. I use it all the time. BUT! The ratchet gears get bound up when removing bolts. I got so mad at it I crammed a gearwrench ratchet in my set and tossed my Milwaukee ratchet in the bottom of a tool box.

I see that in 2022 Milwaukee offers them as a set on the pack out or as the same set you demonstrated. Additionally, the pack out box is also available al la carte, so you now can have your cake and eat it too.

I think than people will learn from this and wait longer before buying there new products ... which might not be good for businesses but I sur was waiting for them to released them as a packout product... but also if they just sell the trays... I might wonder if it would fit my existing socket kits... as a diyer my Stanley socket set could hopefully fit in my packout now ! I have the Ernst railings twist lock which I love but they only fits in a milwaukee bag.

If "MILWAUKEE" was to not charge for the "PACK-OUT BOX" it would come with poorer quality "packaging" in the future. I like the Idea of buying the "PACK-OUT BOX" so that I can insert the Tray into my Tool Box, but would end up RECYCLING the Box... (I have lack of space for storage & don't want shop clutter!) Take care, 🤓 -Thomas Port Orchard,Washington (Just West of Seattle)

Only problem I have will these trays, is that with that kit that you have (I also have) they don't have tray's for them. So I'll have one tray with no ratchet or extension's. Which seems like a waste of space to me. And I don't need two ratchets of the same size.

Can these socket be used with impact drivers?

Yes they should give those who purchased socket sets a packet box

Are they really professional quality or just a good do it you self set?

Stoked I saw this video. Was about to order another set of them just to be in packout boxes. Have the original one you showed. Thanks! 👊🏻

Since most of my hand tools are older than your beard, what I need is Packout compatible organizers for Craftsman, SK Wayne and Snap-On wrenches. Not these just born yesterday Milwaukee hand tools. Where are the 3D designers/printers working on this stuff?

Looks like a good set, hopefully milwaukee will offer a fix for their fuel impact driver collet soon. Thanks for the video 👍

i bought the SAE socket set in the half packout low profile box on black friday for $99 last year

Can you possibly test for science.. The torque pm the flat sets compared to standard sockets? I see these being weaker. The only sockets i have broken split from the sides where these are lacking material

Pretty sure I got the 28pc standard set (48-22-9481) last year around Black Friday.

I think they should give you something for free If not the box maybe the insert to go into the pack out box

I have been a life long Milwaukee fan but your videos and your shelf in the background make me question my choices in Life. I question Milwaukee now and there choice's

The reason why they have four sides it's so it's supposedly stops it from Rolling but I just had the black husky ratchet set and only had it for a few days the socket set was horrible I was doing a job hanging shelves and I was using 3/8 screws and the 3/8 and 10 mm or 9 mm getting fit correctly grab another 3/8 socket worked fine returned it the Home Depot today purchased a new set

$299 for 2 sets is very cheap, if your used to buying Snap-on. You'll pay $300 just for a complete 1/4 deep and shallow socket set from Snap-on.

Could you use these sockets with an impact drill? Or is it going to damage them?

I think it would be to keep them from rolling if you happened to drop them...really nice set by the way...and yes if you paid for something that was supposed to come a certain way and it didnt...the seller/company should make it right asap no hagling... period

Just knew they were gonna release a packout version of these tools; especially since they released the gen 3 bits in a packout as well. Cool for those in packout, & still able to have the insert trays at an “ok” price, Would hope they come out with a packout box with a draw system, but not the way they “are planning” on releasing; but rather like other brands drawer system😉 Bringing us the Tool News, as knowledge is power💪🏼 Cheers👊🏼 *like end music on this one 🤠👍🏻*

Where do I get the packout conversion kits for my 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 I already have

Was just telling a guy I was working with today the set would be great if it came with a pack out box, because the lid is flimsy. Then here you are with more tool porn.

Anti roll sockets as well V.

I purchased all three sets of the Milwaukee socket sets and I do believe they should give those who previously bought the original sets that they should give you the trays and packout case for free. Thank you for bringing up this mistake Milwaukee made.

Believe it or not mine fit perfect at the bottom of my larger rolling pack out box it sits flat and fit perfect in there almost like it was meant to be there and I still have alittle room below to fit a saw zaw and some other stuff so not too bad I like mine allso life time guarantee and Milwaukee sounds like a winner

Will these new pcs work for the big kits ,and yes they should of made these first they are trying to get caught up at this point

I love Milwaukee tools, but $300 for 106 pieces is INSANE! They also took FAR too long to come out with this and have missed the boat as far as I am concerned. I picked up the craftsman 216 piece versastak set (1/4, 3/8, and 1/2) for $149 two months ago. Milwaukee needs to check their prices against what the market can actually bear.

It would be nice if they gave the packout box but I just ordered inserts on Acme tool.

First of all, great vid. As for the packout, If you bought the tools back then so be it. There selling in packout now that’s awesome and another great selling point over other brands. If they offered previous buyers the packout for free or a reduced price that would be very generous. But I’m not going to complain if they don’t. If you just bought it and the next couple days it’s on the shelf in packout, don’t blame Milwaukee blame the tool guy at your tool store for not telling you. Or check here with Vince on what’s the newest stuff coming out before you buy.

The only new info that I wanna hear is the fix for the gen 3 collet 😅😂🤣

Easy to read size marking on flats. Lex man's point of easier hand turning is a good aspect too

They should put a lifetime guarantee on their power tools too.

Ordered the inserts with Acme tools (pre order) So it’s not a deal breaker

Cool super cool

Love it, i modify my slim organizar for put the tray of the 3/8” kit

Is milwaukee going to make a 1/4" rivet gun? Much needed!

Milwaukee should at least give us a tray that can fit in the packout case. It was a huge mistake on their part by not designing them to fit packout in the beginning.

Vince, you might be one of the funniest youtuber out there. Your videos always put a big smile on my face. THANK YOU ! This is unvaluable help in those challenging times. Your energy is very communicative and your videos are just a treat to watch. Greetings from Belgium! Keep up the excellent work!

The feature you forgot for the 4 side socket is it has an anti Roll when dropped or setting down on its side

I like the removable tool tray. Cheers!

For $10 yes. B/c we know it coats them $0.25 pre tray to make.

The flat sided sockets don’t roll when you drop em!!! Boom!

Hi VCG can i ask if there is Milwaukee Brushless planer coming? thanks

So if they indeed made promise that it was supposed to be provided and or was supposed to be made to fit and customers purchased not aware that they would not fit until after they got home and found out that way then maybe but how are they to know who expected that

What they did was wrong I believe they should give you the case correct in the 1st place but the fact they didn't is an air on their side. And yes it is something they should address with the people who previously bought their equipment and spent good money on their tools

You can turn the socket with wrench

They should give them to us that spent the crazy $ for these sets. And the other reason for the square socket is so they don't roll away .

You can put a wrench on that flat socket nice!!

The sockets won't roll everywhere if they fell out of your hands, don't lost them underneath stuff.....

I know im 2 years late and havent even finished the video but i bet square sockets dont roll away as easily

I like Milwaukee tools. But if you are buying their Taiwan made socket/wrench sets for the same price as Proto, SK, Wright sets.... You need to rethink what you're doing.

Should Milwaukee give away the packout boxes and trays? Absolutely not. People knew what they were getting when they bought those sets.

They don't roll away!
