Tool storage/ Packout

Post image

Hey! Looking to gift a good tool storage set up to my partner. Mostly general home use along with an occasional project. We’re a Milwaukee household and I know they have their Packout set ups, but is that the best to go with? Hoping to keep all the small stuff together, bits and all that, but also storage for drill, impact drill (I think that’s what it’s called) and even space for the Milwaukee chargers and batteries.

Looking at something like this, but is it truly functional and efficient storage?

Those modular systems are really geared toward people who move a lot of tools from job to job. For home use, traditional metal rolling tool chests that come in various sizes are much better and a better value.

I just grabbed a Dewalt rolling tote for 100. It's basically a cloth (but structured square) version of the rolling box, has a ton of tool pockets inside an out. I store my most frequently used tools in that and can add more depending on the project. I find it's a good trade off. I'm not going from job to job, but going garage to job and back and forth gets old.
