PACKOUT Tote - 15"

I bought this to complete a full Packout box set. I had been using a 5 gallon bucket with a tool liner, which was handy but often too heavy, bulky or prone to tipping over while driving. I though the lower profile of this tote would help, but despite being properly balanced with tools, it tips over in the cargo space of the vehicle as the base is not flat due to the interlocking design. The quality of materials is nice, the compartments are well laid out, and the tote works very well with the Packout (if clipped into a Packout it would not tip), but at MSRP, it's just not worth it, and it's simply not stable enough on it's own.

This is a great bag. Durable, well-made and holds more than what you need. As an electrician, having multiple screwdrivers is a must. This bag will hold them all. If I could make one small complaint, the two side pockets on one side are mostly useless. The bottom of the pocket is sewn into the bag so you lose storage and any tools put in there flop out. If they opened the bottom of the pocket up OR just made them for screwdrivers it would be even better. But other than that, the bag will hold EVERYTHING you need it to.

I love most Milwaukee products! Their power tools are second to none!! I was in need of a new tote for work and figured give the new pack out line a shot. When I went to transfer my tools from the cheap same size Husky tote to this one I was surprised by how poorly set up the pockets are. There aren’t enough of them and the ones there are, are so shallow tools just fall out. For the cost of this thing it sure doesn’t do what I needed it to do. Very form over function with this, rather disappointing.

I’m a journeyman electrician who runs work and does service jobs. I’ve always used open top bags, easy to organize and access. Not a Milwaukee fanboy or anything but I do like their power tools. I bought this solely so I could keep my zipper bags in the side and keep a small tote clipped on the bottom with bits and materials. I like the overall design but the generic tool pouch design is lacking. I bought this also because many other foreman for my company use the husky totes because their interior tool pockets can all actually be used at once. The ones in this bag are like the majority of tool bags; two screwdriver pouches within two larger pouches. Problem is that they’re all Shallow so tools want to tip out and once a screwdriver is in each pocket then it covers the two underlying pouches l.

I maintain conveyor belts for everyone favorite delivery company with white trucks. Much of my work is going up and down ladders, replacing motors or gearboxes, and a lot of cleaning, greasing, and lubricating. I love the bag, its handy as hell, and pretty stable. Having one side with pockets and one open side is awesome since I have to carry spray bottles and rags in the open side. I also find I can easily pack a standard size grease gun on the side if I use the straps on the one side. Overall, I love it. My only complaints are the pockets are a little too big on the small tools side (stuff tends to flop around or fall out), there aren't enough individual small pockets since I tend to carry lots of screwdrivers, and the small tools side took some wearing in before I could comfortable place stuff (mainly driver bit cases) between the pockets.

Bought this bag thinking it would be much easier to haul this around over my shoulder instead of taking my packout boxes everywhere. Totally disappointed. Pockets are shallow and the stitching is already loose. For the price you would think it would be better. Do yourself a favor and save your money. Better off getting a no name brand tote bag like this for less than half the price.

I have read some negative reviews about this tote and I don’t understand them. I am a plumber with 50 years in the trade and this is one of the best tool bags I have ever owned. I must not have as big tools as the complainers because I don’t have the falling out problem. Have always loved Milwaukee and this is another excellent product from them.

The tote is sturdy and is nice to look at but functionality is more important to the small business owners like myself. The pockets are too small and not enough space for storage. Very overpriced when compared to competitors price I opted for the competitors equivalent to this bag for a fraction of the cost and double functionality.
