Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 15 in. PACKOUT Tote

Very accessible. Perfect for carrying tools used on most jobs.

Excellent quality of construction, very handy. I replaced my tool belt with this for most jobs and it works very well. It does get very heavy when I've got it loaded up though.

This pack out tote is definitely pro-grade. It has reinforced sides and bottom and can hold many small hand-tools. It might be a little overkill for the average homeowner but would certainly appeal to the contractor. I could see electricians and appliance repair folks getting the most benefit from all the small pockets and reinforced sides. I don’t have the pack out system, so I can’t speak to how this works with that but on it’s own, it gets the job done. I used it to pick up some of my tools after I completed building a shed and I was surprised at how much it can hold and organize. While this is more expensive than a lot of tool bags, it’s much more than a tool bag. With the solid bottom and sides, it can carry a lot more tools and weight. I can’t see anyone with tools being disappointed with this tote.

Good companion to the Milwaukee cases. I had some of the Milwaukee cases that these are designed to clip to so this caught my eye. I had picked those up while walking through the store last fall when I happened to see them and think I could not pass those up given the price and the solid build they had. When I saw this tote that was built to workk with those I had to give it a try. Like the cases this is a very solidly built tote. It has a lot of compartments and they are made of good heavy duty material. Most of them are wide at the bottom and not just pulled down to a narrow point and I like that about them. I thought about getting the larger one but this small one works well for my use. I was afraid by the time the larger one is filled with tools it might be heavier than I want to lug around too much. For a younger person that might not matter. For me this one is just right and built to last and will hold plenty. I figure it will outlast me.

This Milwaukee 20" tote has replaced the bucket I formerly used as a "load and go" toolbox for projects around the house. I don't have the packout modular storage system (that's more than I need as a DIYer) but I really like this tote. There are 32 pockets although not all useful for my purposes. This thing is super sturdy -- The material is tear resistant and the base is impact resistant. I really like the large molded handle, but having it in the center doesn't allow for carrying wide tools (i.e., a circular saw). The tote also has metal hardware and a padded shoulder strap, but I prefer to use the handle when I load it with heavy tools. Another great Milwaukee product.

This is one quality made, durable tool tote. This tote is ideal for any handy man that needs a variety of tools for his job and there are 2 zippered pockets and it has a total of 32 pockets (23 inside and 9 outside) to store/transport various tools. Most of the pockets are on one half and the other half is pretty open for the larger tools like power tools. This has an impact resistant base that integrates with the Packout line of accessories and also has a padded shoulder strap to make transport of the tote easier.

High-quality, professional-grade tote. Part of the Milwaukee Tools Packout modular tools storage system. In my 30 years as an electrician, I've been through a ton of tool bags, and I can tell you that this is most definitely a pro-grade bag, ruggedly constructed. Carries much better than the bag I'm coming from, due to the way that the very stout overmolded handle is designed. Also carries better with the shoulder strap than my previous one did, as it's got padding to soften where it may bang / rub your body. The quality of this bag is high, commensurate with its price. Price may seem a bit steep to the non-pro, but as far as bags of this caliber go, this is a relative bargain. Material quality is very high, no defects in stitching or materials whatsoever. Should hold up to years of pro use, and for the DIY'er it would certainly be a lifetime item.

Overall, a huge fan of this tool carrier. Only had it for 2 weeks, but so far durability seems to me like it will last a long time. Walls are nice and rigid, and seem like they will keep their form for a long time. Padding on strap is nice, and when heavily loaded down the tote does not lose it's shape, and remains comfortable to transport. I do not have any of the Packout gear, so I can not speak on that part of this bag's functionality. I am excited for the modular storage system, and have been jealous of European counterparts for years. Some of the pockets do not seem well thought out though. A lot of the pockets seem like they were just thrown on to say there are more pockets. They do not have any growth or exapnsion to them, and it is hard to get tools to actually stay in the pockets. They are not long / deep enough to hold hand tools. Overall, I do like this bag a lot, and am very happy to have it. My biggest praise is that it is comfortable even when heavily loaded.

Received this packout tote and I have to say for the size it holds a heck of a lot of tools as you can tell by the pics. The flexibility you have with the divider and the quick attach to other packout items makes it very versatile. They make three different sizes this one being the smallest is meant for hand tools only from what I can tell. The larger two sizes have power tool pockets on one size which may be a better fit for some. Another great item from Milwaukee

High-quality, professional-grade tote. Part of the Milwaukee Tools Packout modular tools storage system. This size and shape tote is usually marketed as an electrician's tote, designed to hold the kinds of tools we electricians commonly use. As you can see from my pics, it holds all of my go-to tools quite well. There is currently nothing that's not in the tote that was in the much larger bag that I used prior. The 2 other larger bags that are currently part of this system are probably going to work better for carpenters and other tradesmen, due to their length, but for what I do this is pretty ideal. There's probably 35-40 pounds of tools in there. Those same tools in the longer zippered bag that I had them in felt much heavier than they do in this bag - I'm guessing primarily due to the better balance of this square bag, and maybe also in part to the very ample, comfortable rubber molded handle. Literally, it feels like it's only 2/3's as heavy to me. The quality of this bag is high, commensurate with its price. Material quality is very high, no defects in stitching or materials whatsoever. Should hold up to years of pro use, and for the DIY'er it would certainly be a lifetime item.

ENDS the JUMBLE, SAVES TIME — The Milwaukee 15 in. Packout Tote allows you to save time when working on a project. With my current tote, all of the tools and accessories are mixed together, so it usually takes me some time to find what I am looking for. With the Milwaukee tote, it is easy to get organized and put every tool and accessory in a place that makes it easy to find. Since it can hold so many tools, it will also save me time in not having to go back to the workshop to get needed tools. One side of the tote comes with one large and two zippered compartments. The other side comes with many compartments for tools and accessories including spaces for various marking instruments. The two ends have additional compartments and a strap for hanging something. The tote comes with a comfortable shoulder strap. The tote is larger than expected. The only downside is that it weighs about 6 pounds when empty. It is part of the Packout system for organizing tools.

Excellent tool tote. I have owned and used many tool totes over the years and this one is an exceptional design and it is also made well with high quality materials. I tend to pack my totes with lots of heavy tools so a comfortable carrying handle is important and this one has a very sturdy and comfortable handle with a rubber overmold. There is a padded shoulder strap and there is a pad on one side of the tote that rests on your hip when you use the shoulder strap, pretty cool! There are 32 pockets and straps on one side that will carry a 24" level. It seems to have been designed by someone who actually works with tools and has carried them around on a job.

As I have always said I love all my Milwaukee products and this one is no exception. Milwaukee 15 in. Pack out . storage tote features an impact resistant molded base that fully integrates with all Pack out system components. the 15 in. storage tote is designed for ultimate durability while the included padded shoulder strap and durable molded handle allow for easy transport. The 15 in. tote features 31 total pockets designed to organize and carry power tools, hand tools and accessories. I highly recommend it.

What I like most is the design and versatility of this tote. it gives me a great way to organize my tools vertically. Now I can select the proper tool with just a glance.

All the materials of construction are all top quality, super tough and durable. The hardware is all heavy duty metal and the stress points are reinforced with metal rivets.

It is well made and it is tear resistant. I would recommend this tote to anyone, I LOVE IT.

An awesome soft tool bag! I picked up the Milwaukee 10-inch Packout Tote for carrying tools from the shop to the house or other project areas. Sometimes you need more tools than you could carry in your hands, and a large tool chest isn't very portable. This tote is ideal for those situations, but having used it a bit, I may just keep it loaded with essential tools somewhere close by. It has ample storage pockets for an assortment of screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, multi-meters, or whatever else you may need to tackle chores around the house. It has a removable divider that can provide either 2 separate storage areas or 1 main compartment for larger tools. The handle is sturdy and comfortable in your hand. Zippered pockets do a good job of holding small hardware so it doesn't get scattered. The tote is well made and heavy duty. And like other items I have with the Milwaukee name, I expect to get many years of good service out of it.

This is the Milwaukee 20-inch Packout tote. This is one of at least nine products in the Milwaukee Packout modular tool and hardware storage and handling system line that will lock together. For me, it serves as a handy tote for jobs that are a bit beyond small. The smaller totes in this line are 10 and 15-inches in the long dimension. Empty, this tote weighs around 7.5 pounds. It is built tough constructed primarily of rugged nylon Ballistic 1680D fabric and high impact plastic. Steel rivets are used for attachment of the comfortable, over-molded carrying handle and main divider panel. A removable, comfortable-to-use, 2-inch wide nylon carrying strap with wider shoulder pad is included. The shoulder strap attachment hardware is of metal construction. This tote has 9 exterior pockets (one with zipper) and 23 interior pockets (one with zipper). Since a smaller tote in this style would be really handy for my smaller jobs, I intend to purchase the 10-inch model to add to my tote system. Considering its durable construction, this product is an excellent value.

This is a nice tool bag, but it is too large for me. It feels very sturdy, the hard bottom is nice and it doesn't seem like it will sag over time like many tool bags do. It is nice to be able to fit my cordless sawzall in one side, but that's just not something I need very much. If you like to carry your whole tool box around with you and you don't mind back strain, then this is the tool bag for you.

My husband has way too many tools but can't part with them so this tote was the answer as to how to have them all in one place. The tote is very roomy with so many compartments that it fits everything you could possibly need. It's made with a heavy material, but the tote itself is lightweight. It has a big sturdy handle and a big adjustable strap for carrying it on your shoulder. The strap also removes easily. There is one big opening on one side and another big opening on the other with lots of slots for screwdrivers and other tools. It has large pockets on the outside of one end and smaller pockets on the other end.

This is a very handy & ideal sized tote for carrying small parts and misc. tools. There are plenty of pockets and sleeves for tool storage. The tote is constructed of extremely heavy duty material and high quality materials. The bottom of the tote is made of very heavy duty molded material that has the pattern that matches up with the manufacturers Pack Out system. I would strongly recommend!!

This is a very handy tote for carrying smaller amounts of tools and parts. The tote has plenty of pockets/ sleeves on the interior for misc. tools. The tote has two larger pockets on the exterior of the bag along with a strap for carrying tape. Although the tote does not come with a carrying strap, it does have extremely heavy duty metal rings for adding a shoulder strap. The tote is extremely well made with heavy duty applications in mind. I would strongly recommend!!

This is an absolute must have for anyone looking for a new toolbag/ tote. The tote is made with extreme durability and high quality in mind. The tote features many different pockets and sleeves, tape measure clip, carrying strap, and a very comfortable carrying handle. The 20" tote will hold an unbelievable amount of tools and supplies. The tote has a very heavy duty molded bottom that is compatible with the manufacturers own Pack Out System. I would strongly recommend!!

AWESOME!!! Fantastic tote!! I can't say enough good things about them. I now have three, although the first one is not called a Packout Tote. It's still in the group though. These things are tough beyond words. It would take a real intention to cut to damage them. I don't use the carrying straps normally but with the new bigger one I may have to! Many kinds of pockets and cubbies to arrange your tools. I do all kinds of jobs, painting, tiling, carpentry, etc., and was using bins and tubs but now I will be using these exclusively. The ONLY con I can think of is the outside pockets. When you have items in them, it enlarges the footprint and those items can catch on other things around them. In the photo, the tote on the left is the one for this review. The one on the far right is the one I already have, and the middle is another review.

Great large sturdy tote for all of your tools. This toe has smaller pouches for hand tools as well as a larger open area for power tools or long tools. There are several (32) pouches, zippered pouches and pockets throughout. It has a large, beefy, sturdy, yet comfortable handle on top for lifting. The top is completely open which allows for easy loading and identifying of all tools. It is very sturdy and well constructed with metal clasps and hooks throughout. Because it is large and can fit many tools it can become a bit heavy. Fortunately it does comes with a large padded carrying strap. Overall a great tool tote for all types of jobs.

Milwaukee 20 in. Packout Tote is a tote bag different in layout from others. Its designed as a component of their modular storage system. This is the tote bag for the system. The tote I've been using before this is a smaller Stanley which is a no frills tote with pockets and one big opening. This one is larger, divided in half length wise, one side for smaller items with pockets and the other side that can handle big tools like an angle grinder or a reciprocating saw. Other regular totes aren't as accommodating and I find with my Stanley these big tools make it unstable and are most often sticking up in the air. This one also has two web straps on one side to attach really long tools to the side of the bag. It comes with some cushioning on one side so the bag's not banging into your leg. Its ruggedly built, ballistic material over plastic panels. It has fully taped ends, stitched on all sides with rivets at stress point that hold the divider, D-rings and the large carrying handle. The bag is not as wide which also makes it easier to walk with and carry. On the ends are multiple pockets, one with a strap I used to doubly secure my drill and a clip for a tape measure on the other end. For carrying it comes with a sturdy long handle down the middle and has a hefty shoulder strap. The strap is attached with solid D-rings that are big enough to hold your drill and driver if they come with belt clips on the side. The strap has a pad and the tote handle is very comfortable that can accommodate easily how you grab the bag. What is different is the divider down the middle of the bag its not rigid, but flexes a bit from one side to the other to accommodate your tools better. It has some give that is useful in storing tools or moving them around to see what you've got in there. The tote has a black plastic bottom with a pattern that locks into their other Milwaukee mod-lock tool cases as part of their modular storage system.. When I got it thought it was just another tote, but this one has a lot of thought put into it by Milwaukee. Its solidly done, full of extras like pockets and clips to take whatever you've got. If you are looking for a big tote this is one that should get a close look.

Wow, what a sturdy tool carrying system. It is part of the Milwaukee Packout System and has the ability to connect with other components in that system. As a stand alone item, it is still super nice. The body is 1860D Ballistic material that is super tough. The handle feels like the rest of their tool line with a really nice rubber grip in the middle. The bag has 31 pockets giving lots of ways to store your tools. One side of the bag is a big compartment for storing large items and the other side has lots of small pouches and slots to keep smaller items organized. The bottom of the tote is a hard plastic. The bag is designed to connect to the other pieces of the Packout system.

When you have one of these Packout Totes from Milwaukee in your hands you will understand its price and head straight to the checkout with it. ! This is the most durable heavy duty tool bag I have ever had the pleasure of owning. It's so easy to carry and organize everything in it as well as access whats been packed without digging thru the bag or dumping it all out. It has multiple tool organization pockets, 31 to be exact, metal hardware and constructed of a ballistic nylon with rigid inserts to add body to the bag. This bag is great for everything from the family or neighborhood go to handyman to the professional tradesman or craftsman.
