Easy Milwaukee PACKOUT Mod (Charging Station)

Not a bad job for an engineer. 🤣🤣
Seriously, looks real nice. Even has a place for your flashlights.

Ed, nice setup!

Mine has yellow in it!

Thats good and all but where the ventilation. Thought makita battery system is all built on venti so it could last longer

Awesome mod Bro That came out super nice love it @EdTheOldTechGuy

Makita IS the tools to use, Milwaukee IS the tool box system to use. 👍👍👍

That's a pretty nice idea. I have all that same stuff.🤔🤔🤔

One thing a lot of people don't know but if you look under the lid you will see small little screw holes, not even the Milwaukee Rep know about this but those holes actually a perfect for the Milwaukee charger to hang underneath the lid which makes storing your chargers easy.

On the opposite side of plug might be a good spot for small cooling fan
Great job Thanks I think I’ll do the same ,

Packable business is too slow and getting the orders out that’s my experience still waiting

Has anybody installed some kind of small access to the front of the bottom rolling cart because I’m not using that space due to removing everything on yo to access that space please help let me know if there’s a video thankyou.

Shame to use the case use the crate 4 this application

Nice Job ! Very flexible .

I right with you. All of my power tools are makita and all of my storage is Milwaukee

Get the wort top and mount it to the top and mount the charge to it and add a cord cobra for wrapping up your own c0rd

This is a great idea perfect soul for my power station ! I’m in a very wet and windy location where my box will be in the weather a lot of the time how’s the weather seal on the plug ? Thanks for the ideas Ed

80!?!!! Wow prices went up this year

My packout is full of dewalt tools. Framing nailer, roofing nailer, 4 and a half inch circ saw, recip saw, ocil saw, all dewalt. I do have an M12 pin nail in the packout and an M12 driver that sits in my nail bag. Always choose the best tool for the job. T
he packout is the best portable storage but the tools inside are best for the actual work.

Very cool idea.

Lol

Top demais, parabéns 👏👏👏

Good Idea but, you should have Cut a thin Piece of plywood to fit in bottom, mount your stuff to it, it allows it to be removable fast if needed.

Really?

Every time I see someone build one of these, always wonder how it's going to react to all the heat that's inside that box? These batteries are going to be hot! I just don't see how that can be a good idea over a period of time. And I always wonder are they going to leave the lids off, but I never see them leave the lid off.

Great idea!!!

I'm pretty sure I could do the same thing with a $15 toolbox I definitely wouldn't have to pay $80 for Milwaukee packout box but it is a pretty decent idea

Very nice build 👍

This is a great idea for a charging station. Great job! Did you run any Silicone around the hole for the plug? I asked because I'm concerned about loosing that water seal

I'll keep PACKOUT in mind if I ever bring my charger or want to roll up with batteries and leave the tools home. Looks like a good screw organizer too. lol

my milwaukee crackout addiction has reached a new low after spending my life savings ive began trading sex for crackout it would be ok if girls had milwaukee products im not gay well i wasnt ha ha ha yuck just kidding

Same. I love my Makita tools and I love packout! I recently started collecting m12 tools, also, and I have some ryobi tools. I'm going to try and put together a charing station to accommodate all 3. Thanks for the vid!

I hung my chargers on the sides outside the box, finished batteries go inside the drawers

Hahahah no need to pull does wires

You want to talk about sacrilegious I store Milwaukee power tools in the Dewalt tough system lol. 🤣🤣

I wonder if you used foam where your batteries are, if you could stand them upright and fit more batteries or would the lid still close

Great video great idea will make one next week

I'm glad you like to support small business. You must be a smart high quality person

Use what you have no problem with that

Looks to serviceable, you're not an engineer.

You just drilled a massive whole on your packout. Well done...

Slick. I mounted a few battery mounts to the underside of the lid of mine to hold charged batteries.

Pretty cool.

I too am a Makita guy. I have probably 11-12 LXT 18v batteries and at least a dozen LXT tools: Xdt19 impact, xdt15(sub compact) impact, xdt16 impact (my conduit reamer lives on this one), xph14 hammer drill, xbp05 bandsaw, a blower, vacuum, tire inflator, 2 different roto hamers (one sub compact and one regular size with a built in dust-extractor), job site fan, grinder, oscillating multi tool (the new black one with the star lock) and a few others.. I love Makita and am heavily invested.

THEN I GOT. A MILWAUKEE PACKOUT for work.

Then one day I impulse bought a Milwaukee M12 impact and hammer drill combo (it came with a free extra battery - damn you Home Depot).. this led to me getting the M12 surge, then the m12 Packout light…. Now I bring both Makita and Milwaukee to work (electrician).

I gotta say, although I love my Makita stuff, I haven’t touched my Makita impacts or drills in months..

I always use my M12 surge or M12 Hammer drill.. they just work better.

I’ve slowly (after 10 years) evolved into a Milwaukee guy. Day in, day out, they just work better in the trades.

I’m actually curious why Milwaukee hasn’t come out with their own Packout style charging solution (for their m12/m18 products obviously).. they could easily make a “charging station” Packout with the battery male ends attached to the sides with storage on the inside.. they could make a 4 bay, 6 bay, whatever.. money on the table.

man the Milwaukee in me feels Violated seeing Makita in side the box lol JK JK very good video very handy loved it

I too have almost $800 in Milwaukee boxes but have all the brand of tools, but 90% are DeWalt, about 2k worth just in yellow. The packout system in my opinion is the most rugged and best designed modular tool storage out there. The locking can be better but the plastic is easily defeatable.

I have many Makita cordless tools and batteries.

Cool. And the best thing is that there is nothing preventing the tool box from still being used as a tool box. Ignore the naysayers my friend.

Bro lost me at Makita.
