One modular system

What is Milwaukee PACKOUT?

Milwaukee PACKOUT is a modular system for storing, organising and transporting tools and accessories. Compatible units connect together, letting you combine different storage formats to suit the equipment you carry.

For electricians and other trades, that could mean drawers for hand tools, organisers for fixings and connectors, or a crate for equipment you need close at hand. Choose each unit for its contents, access and intended use.

Plan a practical setup

Build your PACKOUT system in three steps

  1. Map out your kit

    Group hand tools, test equipment, accessories and small parts. Measure awkward items before choosing a box or drawer.

  2. Choose how to access it

    Think about what you open most often. Leave room for lids and drawers, and consider how the setup moves between your workshop, vehicle and site.

  3. Check the complete setup

    Confirm dimensions, component compatibility and weight limits. Use suitable mounting hardware and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and transport.

What is Milwaukee PACKOUT?

PACKOUT is Milwaukee’s modular storage system. Compatible tool boxes, drawers, organisers, crates and accessories connect together so you can organise equipment around the work you do. Start with the storage you need and add suitable components as your kit grows.

Should I choose a PACKOUT tool box or drawers?

Choose a tool box when you need space for bulkier equipment and can open the lid. Drawers give front access to tools in a stacked setup. Compare internal dimensions, drawer depth, opening clearance and the load rating of the exact model.

Is Milwaukee PACKOUT waterproof?

Water protection varies by product. Selected boxes and organisers, including the 48228422 compact tool box and 48228430 organiser, have IP65-rated seals. That does not mean every PACKOUT item is waterproof or suitable for submersion. Check the rating and instructions for each model.

Can I use PACKOUT in a work van or workshop?

PACKOUT can help organise tools and parts for a van, workshop or job site. Plan around available space, access and suitable mounting accessories. Follow the product and vehicle installation instructions and secure loads correctly for transport.

Do all PACKOUT accessories fit every configuration?

PACKOUT components are designed around a modular connection system, but mounting orientation, space, weight limits and accessory requirements vary. Check the specific products and required plates or adapters before ordering your combination.
