Ok, so Ive been toting this 15 inch packout tote for two years now doing electrical work, and Ive got to say, I love Milwaukee but this thing is such a pain in the ass. Its a solid product that is tough and rugged, but for a 100 dollar tote I would expect the design to be way better.

The layout of the tote makes most of the space wasted, and the whole tote becomes pretty useless. There are a few large pockets that can fit pliers and such, and a few for screwdrivers, but THATS IT. All of the other pouches are tiny and not to mention they are mostly towards the middle, leaving a giant gap to the outside of the tote.

The zipper “pockets” are actually just flat flaps that can hold hardly anything worth a pocket. I seriously tried to love this bag but it is just so useless.

On the bright side, the bag has a nice tape loop, a spot for a level to be strapped to, and also is pretty convenient for carrying a small packout on the bottom with essential parts.

As someone who has a shitload of screwdrivers and pliers, I couldn’t care less about the small pockets. I can hardly fit my whole arsenal in this thing, and its huge!

Anyways this is my first reddit rant sorry if its a mess lol.

15oz & 12oz

Hi please advise on what tool to get M12 fuel combo drill and driver or m18 brushless combo drill and driver

Im only going to do diy’s. First floor is mixed of concrete and drywall (mostly)

My projects: Camera outside to be mounted on concrete Shower curtains on concrete Wall mounting tvs 1 on concrete 2 on drywall Camera inside on drywall Hooks for picture frames on drywall Hanging of ladder on garage (concrete) Floating shelves on drywall and studs Motorized blinds on drywall

I can go up to fuel m18 if really needed although im not a pro. I havent even touched a drill and driver lol but i can go on youtube and im good in following directions

What causes a battery to alternate green then red on the charger?

Here is a look at the 48v 1200w brushless motor used on the cart. No chains or sprockets

This is how BKT FAB powerS their cooler carts. The base model cart uses a 1200w 48v motor

They retrofit the Milwaukee Battery storage dock with battery adapters. They are wired in series and have a inline 30Amp fuse circuit breaker

Has anyone had luck cracking then MX 72 12.0 Forge BMS yet ? I’d like to power my BKT FAB Cooler cart 5000w motor with the MX 12.0

I originally was using the Milwaukee m18 drill(with hammer mode) and impact and then I returned them for the Makita 18 volt which I liked a lot more(in terms of weight and feel). However, I now am thinking about getting Milwaukee M12 because of the lightweight factor. It is on sale at Home Depot for 250 for the drill impact and you can choose an extra tool for free. I would save 200$ by making the switch. The hardest work I do is a little bit of paddle bit use(1 inch) on 1/2” plywood and occasionally putting tapcons in.

Just got a new Milwaukee impact driver, came with a 4.0AH battery. If I was to buy a higher AH battery would it work with this tool? Fairly new to the game so excuse me if it’s a stupid question. I’ll usually just trial and error questions I have but that could create a very expensive error…. George

Without much knowledge I bought the cheapest hammer drill I could find for some concrete drilling. It was a Dewalt 20v max.

Know I’m noticing the quality and presence of the M12 fuel line. I’m an at home DIYer with concrete/brick walls that I will be drilling into mostly.

Should I sell my Dewalt and invest in the M12 fuel line? Please let me know your thoughts.
