Milwaukee Tool’s Packout range offers more than 65 easy to use tool storage solutions

Global tool manufacturer Milwaukee Tool says it is revolutionising tool transportation, organisation, and storage for the trades with Packout, a market leading modular storage system that offers near limitless customisation opportunities for users.
Launching in the US market in 2017, and the Australian market in 2018 with eight products, the Packout Modular Storage System has rapidly grown to include more than 65 innovative organisation solutions for all trades, allowing for seamless transport of tools from home to the jobsite, workshop and everywhere in between.
In Australia, the professional storage category is worth approximately $900M* and Milwaukee says its superior Packout storage system continues to disrupt the market with its unique cleat system, ease of use and ‘garage to site’ flexibility.
“We conducted extensive market research in Australia which revealed that over nine in ten tradespeople were using some sort of tool storage,” Milwaukee Tool Head of Research and Insights, Jeanine Whalley, said.
“Of those trade professionals who participated, most were looking for a storage solution that was durable, that works in all environments, across multiple sizes and styles.”
Packout’s exclusive customisation features allow users to interchange and interlock, creating multiple compact configurations that allow maximum versatility. The promise of a tough and durable product sets the system apart, with items constructed from impact resistant materials to withstand harsh job site environments.
“We found that many of the traditional storage systems on the market limited users to a single footprint or box size, offering very little versatility to fit their needs,” Milwaukee Tool Product Manager Storage, George Mavrogiannis, said.
“This gap in the market became a driver for the Packout innovation. It is a game-changer for end users because it is the first cross-platform system that allows boxes, organisers, and totes of multiple sizes and configurations to easily stack and lock together.”
“Since launching the entire Milwaukee storage category in 2014, the line-up has grown to include a breadth of solutions that deliver on the versatility and ‘Nothing But Heavy Duty’ promise demanded by users. With the introduction of the Packout Modular Storage System, Milwaukee is taking this commitment to the next level.”
Milwaukee says while ease of use, adaptability and versatility are core product features of the range, Packout has been designed as an advanced solution for the trades – maximising productivity, reducing downtime, and optimising the lifespan of tools and inventory.
