You will never please everyone lol.
I use packout drawers as much as possible.
There are people who will only use Festool systainers, Dewalt T-stack or tough system, Ridgid, Flex, Klein, Ryobi, Bosch L-box, Toughbuilt and am probably forgetting more.

The most important thing is being efficient, and causing no damages to a customer's home.
A vacuum and broom are the last tools outside of the home.

I like how you shared how you bring them all in and open them all up. For some reason, I was thinking I would forget what's in each one and have to keep going out to the truck. With your work-flow, everything is first level retrievability.

That motorized tonneau cover is pretty slick!

It’s amazing how much easier life/work is with these portable/modular tool boxes. I don’t own the Milwaukee, I got the flex system but have all drawer boxes (2 boxes with 3 drawers and 1 box with 2 drawers). In my opinion there are a couple “premium” lines and then everything else below that is fairly similar quality. The Milwaukee and Flex stand alone at the top. The build quality and features is in a class of their own. I’m absolutely in love with 6:13 these boxes. It wasn’t cheap (I spent right at $1, 000 for everything) but when comparing it to other options (ie the “decked” system or even something more custom) and also considering the benefits of owning one, you realize that it was worth every penny and some. To me though the coolest part is the fact that because they are modular alf also because if the popularity of them, these companies are going to continue to innovate and bring new items to market. It’ll be a never ending quest for the perfect tool box which I love

I’m getting this, it gets so old taking hours longer looking for this or that. I’ll just go and buy another it’s faster than how long I’ll spend frustrated looking for it. This happens more than I would care to admit. I’m turning 65 this year the pack out could be a GOD send to organize my mind. Probably pay for itself in mental health alone. ❤

Also your large rug is a very nice piece of equipment.
Keep up the good work.

Just got the base pack out with the wheels, and I’m already in love.

Great video. Thanks for posting it.
The thing that made me go WHOA was the pickup truck rising cover!!! Never seen anything like it and googled it immediately. (I was on main tv so couldn't look at the linked info at the time.) Thanks for linking the RaZorTop cover. Very cool.

Keep up the great videos! 👍👍

I do the same set up, but I went to Costco and picked up 3-4 adjustable medium size tables and set everything on tables and it easier on the back at the end off day.
Also try sliding the dolly cart in the other way with handle first that way you don’t have to pick up the whole thing.
Great video thanks

I love the idea of laying everything out on the job site. My problem is if I’m installing a heat pump outside I can’t lay out everything outside because it ends up raining, but I guess I could always shut them real quick.

I'm a pack out junkie. I dabble in all trades and move my tools constantly. I have 4 stacks about 6' tall and 2 of the double wide chests. Plus 6 or 7 bags. It really is a awesome system. My original boxes must be about 7 years old. They're not red anymore but still water tight.

The plumbing company my son works with has lined their trucks with packout boxes, mostly aligned with drawers. It was my son's idea. The trucks are a sea of Milwaukee red on both sides on the inside of the trucks

On a side note, the ones most probably hating on them are the ones on team yellow.

I was on a 27 step house to get to front door this week😃 getting up and down that was fun with my packout.

[markk]

I'd pur one of those screw storage onto of the half tool boxes to make then more sturdy

[Deerector]

I think the RIDGID 2.0 with all the draws is the way to go. You wheel it in and never have to take the boxes apart. All the draws come out and no bending at all. For the bigger stuff, you can put on top of just have a separate one

[edromero]

Man, that’s an awesome way to use the packout great

[JM-uovp]

Packout works well for me. Bit more expensive but well made and very easy to find someone who socks the whole variety

[unwired]

Seems like another base for two carts going in would be a little easier. But whatever works for you is good with me.

Suggestion: for carrying up the steps without breaking your back, attach a cariboner to a rope/cord with a handle, maybe 3’ long (easy build)

Reminds me of being an adult Lego set!
