Hey John! I'm 28 and live in the US, I've decided to quit my desk job and go into the trades (electrician) as I felt unfulfilled in my day to day. I recently built a chicken coop and have found happiness in building things. Love your channel and your reviews as they helped me make a decision to make the change to better my life.

Great review. As a plumber here in Virginia I've really enjoyed my new bag, although it is very easy to overload it due to all the space

I have the same bag and I love it. The narrow zipper pockets I use to store sawzall blades multi tool blades and where you have your level strapped is where I strap up my sawzall. Awesome review!

Nice video. Love the channel. I tend to put my Sawzall blades in that long zipper part of the tote. Works perfect.

Nice video. I would like to recommend the Toughbuilt Tote. Not sure if it is available where you are, but it is on
an entirely different level from the Milwaukee. And if you can afford it, check out the Veto Pro Pac. Very pricey.
The Toughbuilt and Veto Pro Pac are the type that you will hand down to your grand kids.

Hello John,
A beautiful and useful bag. Thank you for the introduction and detailed information. See you. big greetings.

Great review! I have the 15" and love it. With the 15", you can put one of the half sized packout organizers on the bottom of it as well.

The flat zipper pocket on the outside is the exact size to fit 4 sizes of autocuts and a roll of Teflon or electrical tape. Perfect for a plumber. I have 2 totes, one set up for hand tools/trim and one that’s my sweat tote with all my stuff for soldering copper.

Where would you be keeping your shillelagh and your potatoes, now, John?

Hey John, subscriber and fellow sparky from Australia here love the channel, it has a good vibe and you have a great attitude. Just yesterday I was doing some research into options to rehash my set up a bit and look at a new bag, mainly cause I can’t help myself and just have to play around with my tools, so this video was good timing. You’re spot on about the PPE and I hate rooting around looking for stuff as well. I was thinking In the front zip up pocket you could keep a pair of gloves.

“Worse than useless.” My new favorite saying.

Quick question, why do you not like the cart for stairs? I used it on plenty of stairs and although it wasn't as easy as an elevator I thought to myself when I got up like "🤔damn, I already got all this stuff up here when it would have taken me multiple trips up and down the stairs to bring all this up." I mean how else would you get everything up anyways?

Great video John i have started to use the Milwaukee drawers and have found them so much better then the boxes
as you don't have to take the boxes off to get your stuff plus clean up is quicker.

Top Pocket for a Curly Whirley maybe? They should just made it a magnetic 🧲 strip.

[RobertSandell]

Don't you need to carry around a lot of bulky Fluke instruments?

[dominicmcc]

Great review 👍 good advice on the PPE, very easy to take a chance. When it is close to hand there is a better chance of using it.

Hello,

Electrician from the states here.

You sound like a proper gentleman, a far cry from thr average tradesman in the US

Lol

Apprentice spark here, who has slightly fallen in love with Milwaukee and the Packout system - Apologies if this has been asked... How strong is it to lift a stack of boxes?
In other words, if I were to click (for example) a tray of fixings and two power tool cases on the bottom and then pick the whole lot up (assuming, for argument's sake, that it's not too tall and that I can actually lift the weight), would that strain the bag? Feels wrong to be lifting that much weight on the bottom of a tool bag, but I would expect Milwaukee to have thought of that?

my small Stanley fat max level goes in the small zipper pocket. hacksaw blades in the big zipper pocket. Quick release impact bit holders on the D ring on the end. sds bits in the small pockets on the end.
