Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Milwaukee’s PACKOUT Modular Storage System is more than just a way to carry tools, it’s a fully customizable organization solution built to fit the exact needs of every tradesperson. Whether you’re a contractor bouncing between job sites, a service technician who needs everything neatly stored in the truck, or a shop-based pro who values organization, PACKOUT has become the gold standard for tool storage.

But here’s the best part: PACKOUT is not a one-size-fits-all product. You can build your system piece by piece with PACKOUT-ready drill bit and driver kits, grab a prebuilt organizer fully stocked with accessories, or take customization to the next level with foam inserts and modular accessories.


Why PACKOUT is One of the Best Storage Systems

Milwaukee designed PACKOUT with jobsite realities in mind. Every piece in the system is constructed from impact-resistant materials that can withstand drops, transport, and the elements. An IP65-rated weather seal keeps water and dust out, while reinforced hinges and heavy-duty latches ensure that the cases hold up under daily use.

The PACKOUT Low-Profile Organizer (48-22-8431) is a great example of the foundation of this system. With removable bins, a transparent lid that keeps parts from migrating, and the ability to click into any other PACKOUT component, it shows why the system is so popular: it’s durable, flexible, and designed for efficiency.


Building Your PACKOUT Piece by Piece

One of the most popular ways to use PACKOUT is by starting with individual accessory kits packaged in PACKOUT-compatible cases. These cases lock right into PACKOUT organizers, keeping your drill bits, driver bits, sockets, and fasteners organized in the same stack as your tools.

Here are some of the most useful piece-by-piece PACKOUT kits:

Customizing PACKOUT with Foam Inserts

For those who want the highest level of customization, Milwaukee offers foam inserts that let you shape your PACKOUT drawers around your exact tools.

Low-Profile Customizable Foam Insert for PACKOUT Drawers
(48-22-8453)

Milwaukee’s Customizable Foam Insert is designed to give tradespeople complete control over how their tools are stored inside PACKOUT drawer toolboxes. The layered foam can be cut to create custom shapes that securely hold and protect tools, preventing them from shifting during transport. This not only protects your investment but also ensures that every tool has a dedicated spot for quick access.

Each insert is precisely cut to fit PACKOUT drawer systems, including the 2-Drawer, 3-Drawer, 3-Drawer Multi-Depth, and 4-Drawer Tool Boxes. By tailoring the foam layout, users can design drawer storage around their most-used tools, from cordless drills to specialty hand tools, creating a personalized and efficient organization system that adapts to any trade.


Prebuilt vs. Piece-by-Piece: Which Approach is Best?

Both approaches have their strengths, and the right choice depends on how you work:

Prebuilt PACKOUT Kits:

Great for beginners or pros who want everything in one place.

No guesswork, you get a ready-to-go assortment.

Perfect for general contractors or service techs who need variety.

Piece-by-Piece Kits

Ideal for specialized trades who want to choose exactly what goes in their PACKOUT.

Flexible, you can grow your setup over time.

Allows you to prioritize the tools and bits you actually use.

Many tradespeople choose a hybrid approach: start with a prebuilt kit for efficiency, then expand with specialized PACKOUT cases and foam inserts to personalize the system further.


The Flexibility of PACKOUT

What makes PACKOUT truly unique is that it grows with you. Need more storage? Add a drawer unit. Want your sockets and bits better organized? Clip in a low-profile organizer. Need your power tools protected? Cut foam inserts for a custom fit.

From electricians to HVAC techs, mechanics to carpenters, PACKOUT adapts to any trade. It’s not just about storage, it’s about saving time, working smarter, and protecting your investment in tools.
