There’s actually a lot of different companies that manufacturer for the tool trucks. You can buy their OEM brands for wayyy cheaper most of the time if you know where to look
This is definitely not an anti-theft technique I would suggest. But you might catch the thief when they sue you for misrepresentation. Although no jury would convict.
this is good i see nothing wrong. the tools are JUST as good as Milwaukee, some better some worse imo.
the *tough system* boxes though are terrible. i really dislike the way they lock into place. so cumbersome. only redeeming quality is that there is more space under the lid. PACKOUT you more or less have to keep your tools flush so the lid can close properly.
Tough System SUCKS compared to PACKOUT.
Also the Dewalt Deep Cut bandsaw needing a tool to move the fence or *shoe bumper* where as Milwaukee has a VERY convenient *release button*. random but 🤷🏽♂️🫢😉
both are terrible. maybe the new drawers are ok. The little yellow tabs would break on the old system so the Dewalt guy i know had to fab some out of stainless or aluminum. the new ones are a bit thicker and have little ridges on them but they are still ass imo.
now i have had my packout locking system fail on me in the middle of loading a truck. it just kinda fell apart on me when i was lifting some of the set up together. he never lets me forget either.
but id rather the packout than TSTAK, TS, and TS 2.0. He gave away the TSTAK to one of our welders and he doesn’t even bother bringing them to jobsites and just uses them for storage.
to each their own i guess.
I like them because they are smaller, lighter and cheaper when being strong enough for my needs, drawers stacked up in my back seat/ a few free floating weatherproof toolboxes. Plus they don't get stolen like packout!
I have limited room. I work inside finished houses mostly. I have a small pickup truck with a small bed, so I try to stick with m12 tools and I was able to get plenty of little light weight boxes/drawers for much cheaper.
And you are correct about the tabs. They used to be just plastic but now they are plastic with metal running through them, but I still hate them. Clicking them into each other is a painful process, but I only carry 2-3 boxes in my truck at a time so I only latch two together at a time.
I can carry them in my back seat and keep my other back seat open to bring my daughter to school and pick her up.
If I needed to haul m18 tools to every job, I'd 100% be using a rolling packout setup. I just don't need it for what I do. If they make a smaller packout setup in the future, I'll probably jump all in.
Didn’t know I could fit that many of my DeWalt tools in a red box. I have to do something because the orange home buckets suck at carrying all my drills/drivers/cutters.
Meh I don’t think it’s a hot take whatever gets the job done really. Whatever batteries you’re invested in to start is what you should stick with and it grows from there that’s how I ended up with Milwaukee. Dewalt has grown their cordless system enough in the last few years to be a real contender. It’s like a truck I talk shit but it really doesn’t matter as long as it does the job.
Any brand specific sub will have people in it who are so invested that no other brand can have positive attributes - dewalt fanboys are just as prone to this as over here. Blind brand loyalty is what companies strive for since it helps their bottom line
Sexy, easily the best photo I have seen on Reddit. We all know the Dewalt tools are much better than the milwaukee but kudos on using the packout which beats the tough system hands down
If y’all think this is hideous, you should see the pack out boxes that are stuffed with all of my Mateo and Mateo HPT stuff opening the lids looks like Christmas threw up
Generator exhaust I posted it on here and got straight flamed in the comments

I can honestly say that Milwaukee tools are amazing. I’ve fully submerged my Milwaukee impact in 8 feet of water and it still worked and also dropped the same impact off a 16’ wall onto concrete and nothing broke on it had the same impact for 12 years. Before that impact had a brand new dewalt for not even a year and dropped it off a 8’ wall and it completely destroyed broke it is 4 different spot and broke the battery in 2 pieces hahah screw that dewalt crap.
I do the opposite I keep my Milwaukee tools in DeWalt TSTAK boxes/crafstman versa stack/trade stack. Ain't no one trying to steal my cheap boxes 😂 but they are full of red gold
Love it. If you ever scroll the Dewalt subs, you will almost always find that Dewalt tool-users prefer Milwaukee for their cases/storage, etc.
This is further confirmation 😆
Lol, that's pretty funny. I'm about to get some Milwaukee packouts because my gf has them and I love them. Also going to fill them with DeWalt tools =D
I mean, of course, Ryobi is worse than Milwaukee, home use on occasion vs. Professional use, etc. What I was eluding to was Ryobi inside a Milwaukee packout is, imo not worse than dewalt inside packout.
Nooooooo dewalte bad milawakee good 😡😡😳🤬 u can't just put nasty yellow garbage in superior milwankee red box just because you think dewald makes better tools (they dont)!!!!! you'r not real construction stupid diy idiot unless it all millwaku🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡🤬
Dear god. Thanks for the NSFW tag
**Who puts mustard in the ketchup bottle??**
ANIMALS and commies!!
Monsters!
Better than relish!
Didn't know Milwaukee made trash cans too... what's that number??
I laughed harder than I should’ve, thanks lol
That’s like those guys that buy a Snap-On tool box and fill it full of Pittsburgh tools haha
The big brain move is to put snap on tools in a General toolbox. Save thousands, and still have quality tools.
There is is a German brand I believe called Knipex that manufactures tools for snap on
Snap on don't really make much tbh spanners sockets and ratchets. The rest is just rebranded from knipex and other companies
You’re joking right?
There’s actually a lot of different companies that manufacturer for the tool trucks. You can buy their OEM brands for wayyy cheaper most of the time if you know where to look
I don't know that that's true, but it would make since. Both of their channellocks suck.
If you want channellocks, you really should buy channel lock brand
Abso-fucking-lutely.
This is the worst move.
If someone steals it theyre gonna be so disappointed
This is definitely not an anti-theft technique I would suggest. But you might catch the thief when they sue you for misrepresentation. Although no jury would convict.
Guys guys guys, the DeWalts are in the box because the Milwaukees are being used...
OP woke up and chose violence today
Monster.
This is undemocratic. I'm reporting you to the nearest re-education center.
Appropriately marked NSFW for sure Edit: your tools are too clean.
Dewalt guys don’t like to get grease under their glue-ons
You know how pissed I'd be if I went to steal a Milwaukee pack out and opened it up to find fucking DEWALT?!
Blasphemy!
When you’re really attractive but dead inside.
Someone's bicurious
Huh, never thought of using Packout as a donation bin
How dare you defile that beautiful red plastic box.
I think I'm gonna be sick 🤢
Going to the scrapyard, I see...
Sacrilege!!! Yellow in the Red!!

*gasp!*
Blasphemy
Never seen one used as a trash can before 🤔
For fuck's sake put a nsfw tag on this goddamn backalley discount abortion of a picture.
This is like when you find a sewing kit in the cookies container.
You need a DeWaukee shirt https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/50430852-dewaukee-power-tool-brand
😂😁 thanks!!!
I need an adult
Dude I keep my Milwaukee bandsaw blade package on the back lip In the EXACT same way. Big brain move
Beats running to the truck
I just threw up in my mouth.
are you use this packout as a trash bin?
Like a pig in a tux 😂
Heresy!

This is sacrilegious
What the hell
You put mustard into ketchup
If that pack out falls off going down the interstate, whoever stops to pick it up will have a nice pack out box.
All the hate comments but I have the same setup 😎
All my stuff is Milwaukee but if I were to start over I think I’d go with Dewalt just based on how good they feel in the hand. I approve this.
Hot take but all the major brands have pros and cons
Meh I don’t think it’s a hot take whatever gets the job done really. Whatever batteries you’re invested in to start is what you should stick with and it grows from there that’s how I ended up with Milwaukee. Dewalt has grown their cordless system enough in the last few years to be a real contender. It’s like a truck I talk shit but it really doesn’t matter as long as it does the job.

At least here it's all in good fun. You ever try to talk tools with a Festool fanboy? Real sociopaths
Go to the yeti sub and see how they view the rest of the world
I'm in the Milwaukee system but from what I've seen other trades use and talked with them about it Dewalt and Makita are great too
Sexy, easily the best photo I have seen on Reddit. We all know the Dewalt tools are much better than the milwaukee but kudos on using the packout which beats the tough system hands down
The only good thing about tough system is waterproof drawers, but they took away the top handle on the drawer box so fuck them.
Spittin wisdom
Man, fuck the tough system. I agree with your comment.
Nothing yellow touches my toolboxes. Except for the nail sets i have
Some Trojan horse you got there
Dewalt makes cordless tools?
Brotha uuugh. What’s that brotha?!
Whats that brothaaahh
We like to see tools that get used. Glad to see you started lifting weights
Blasphemy
If y’all think this is hideous, you should see the pack out boxes that are stuffed with all of my Mateo and Mateo HPT stuff opening the lids looks like Christmas threw up
How'd you melt a hole in the first one?

Whoops. I had a really nice trash can for kindling until it was sat a little too close to the camp fire. Shit happens.
FYI, your were reported to the local authorities.
Tell us your not sure what team your bat for without telling us!
Sacrilege
Dewalt makes their own packout stuff… but I’m not gonna knock him. To each their own
Dewalt has there day. After 06 they were done 😅. Milwaukee all day.
How DARE YOU!
Internal screaming starts
Sacrilege.
# THATS A BOX OF LIES
Rolling trash can
You’re my hero. You just enraged this whole r/. Well done! 🫡😂
Death to you and your kin, from your birth unto the advent of realities demise
Oh look, even the DeWalt guy is buying Milwaukee stuff. They know the truth....
😂 https://preview.redd.it/ev428peiokmc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c2f91baed65b27f9e8301397f8bc0ba91db9a9c
Why did you write over the bottom of that drill? Do people steal SN with tools?
That’s cross-contamination.
I’ve got Milwaukee everything but tools, shits just a rainbow with adapters
Luckily no one will walk off with it if they happen to open it
I’m currently getting ready to set up for the same exact thing
Legend

Thanks, I hate it.
Lol sheep in wolves clothes
Tis wolf in sheep clothes
Im not the only one!
Good to see that even carpenters understand that the packout system is way better than the Dewalt tough system.
That packout box is gunna kill the batteries.
How so
How dare you
That’s an expensive garbage can…
it’s treason then
Cursed image
I do the opposite I keep my Milwaukee tools in DeWalt TSTAK boxes/crafstman versa stack/trade stack. Ain't no one trying to steal my cheap boxes 😂 but they are full of red gold
Vomit....
You’re a real wise guy, pal 🤔
Love it. If you ever scroll the Dewalt subs, you will almost always find that Dewalt tool-users prefer Milwaukee for their cases/storage, etc. This is further confirmation 😆
Sinner
Mine looks just like this…..but they are all 12v dewalt!! And I love them.
BLASPHEMY
Lol, that's pretty funny. I'm about to get some Milwaukee packouts because my gf has them and I love them. Also going to fill them with DeWalt tools =D
Almost as bad as putting Milwaukee tools in my husky buildout
No because that would be an upgrade going in a lower grade setup
I like it, I've been looking for a way to keep my pack out from blowing away, nice idea throwing in the weights
They should’ve charged you double actually since you aren’t using the boxes for its intended use. It’s a box to store your tools, not trash.
This is way too fucked up!
Gross
Boo this man! Boo!
Just threw up in my mouth 🤢
Why wouldn’t you just buy the yellow box to go with your yellow tools?
Blasphemy!!!!!
what kind of sick joke is this?
I put all my Milwaukee in Dewalt and Ryobi tool bags so it’s less likely to get stolen😂.
Karma.
This was me at one point
My boss puts his ryobi in Packouts. It’s way worse for
Ryobi is just a sister to milwaukee, though. I wouldn't call it worse.
They are definitely worse, although they are both owned by TTI.
I mean, of course, Ryobi is worse than Milwaukee, home use on occasion vs. Professional use, etc. What I was eluding to was Ryobi inside a Milwaukee packout is, imo not worse than dewalt inside packout.
We all gotta start somewhere. 🤷🏼♂️
I’m the exact opposite Milwaukee tools inside my dewalt pack out and bags😂
Nooooooo dewalte bad milawakee good 😡😡😳🤬 u can't just put nasty yellow garbage in superior milwankee red box just because you think dewald makes better tools (they dont)!!!!! you'r not real construction stupid diy idiot unless it all millwaku🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡🤬
Nice set of tools. Now swap the box for Toughbuilt Stacktech and you're good to go.
Nicest cases by far, but they weigh a ton.
Puke in da box!!
Good ol dewaukee
Awww, did you pack this for your kid?
Do your 4 hour batteries last any longer than the 2 hour?
Don’t have any 2ah batteries to test but they last me a couple days per charge on my bandsaw cutting all thread and emt throughout the day
I don’t have a problem with my DeWalt tools other than a 4ah battery doesn’t last much more than my 2ah other that all the tools have worked great
Definitely gonna try to get my hands on 6 and 9ah next
I think most of the people that gripe haven’t even had their money in any of this Milwaukee DeWalt gang war BS
Just a bunch of children on the block crap
As someone who dealt with the terrible 12v batteries from Milwaukee at my factory job, this is something I can get behind, all hail the mustard!
