I use both brands! When you really are in the trades you have to work with any tool that makes the job easy for you! it doesn't matter to wish brand belongs we don't have enough time for bullshit! This is what I use everyday: From Dewalt: Impact Driver 887, XR drill 791 and 998, 20v miter saw, XR oscillating tool, XR Screw gun, XR Orbital sander, chipping hammer, Brushless 6 1/2 circular saw and the 4 1/2 circular saw, 2 XR Grinders, XR impact wrench, XR Die grinder, the little one hand sawzall and a 10 inch table saw. From Milwaukee: M12 impact driver fuel and hammer drill, M12 fuel Multi tool, M12 Angle die grinder, M12 angle impact driver, M12 Mechanic ratchet and stubby wrench, M12 caulk gun, M12 rivet gun and a M12 cellphone charger. I have the Powerful M18 hackzall fuel to help the little yellow guy, A M18 metal circular saw, An impact driver to help the 887, Hammer drill fuel, the M18 brad nailer fuel M18 compact router fuel and of course, the packout system. Besides also use some Makitas, ryobis and even some electrical Bauers from HB.
I like it your on a ladder need to constantly move ladder need a impact driver and hammer drill few other tool great for hanging around shoulder on side of you going up ladder mounting certain things
I also have a full line of yellow tools stuffed into red packouts and growing. My last customer made a comment that I was so organized. YES!!!! Im a Tile setter BTW. Seen a few of your videos now. Guess Ill subscribe :) Im now thinking a bag would be useful for my tile levelling clip system. Im currently using the packaging they are sold in which are basically "tupperware" style containers with lids of course. I find its to much to search for and move around 2 containers of clips and wedges, clip tool, rubber mallet ect.
Hi Brad, As I mention I use both brand. If you get a chance try out the milwaukee m18 surge. Man, that impact is very quiet when working indoors. Especially when installing cabinets. Give it time, milwaukee will make a tall packout soft tote. Hopefully they're watching your videos for some input. Thanks for the video
A simple design change would make this bag so much better, adding the boxes onto it the shoulder strap is the wrong way round. Also using the bag on its own be careful with the locking bit as it can catch on things and fall off. Other issues is the pockets inside is not really fit for purpose, they sort of have 3 pockets sown together so tools don't sit flat. Hard to explain that last bit until you put tools into it.
My brother is friends with a Dewalt rep and they're coming out with a whole lot more stuff for the 2.0 and I got to see some of the stuff and it's going to blow Milwaukee away
The problem is they have (had) multiple systems. The Pro boxes, the T stack (Versastack), Tough 1, now Tough 2. Plus the points of contact with regards to the interlock of the units (only 2). Don't get me wrong, I'm a Dewalt fanboy, but when I saw the Packout system I was blown away.
Do you double up on the same tools so each bag has a certain too,l or do you take tools out of one bag and put it the other bag? I ask because a small bag looks great but it limits the project.
I do double up on some stuff, but i try to have my main bags or packouts with my everyday stuff, and specialty bags like my glue bag or maybe a electrical bag might have some of the same tools in them. that way if i just grab the one special bag, i will have what i need.
I’ve got this tote, it’s not the best, pockets aren’t very good, the handle is floppy, also the outside pockets aren’t big enough fir anything other than really small items, the centre divider, when used is not very solid so moves about! I just brought the 40cm one with the fixed handle and it’s a million times better IMO! The small bag has one good thing going for it and that’s it’s size, good fir small grab and go type jobs, nothing else!
@@GueroPalma420 I brought my small one about a year ago, since then I’ve brought 2 of the 40cm ones and use them all the time, ones got my go to day to day tools in M12 drill, Driver etc. The other one has my plumbing and electrical stuff in so I can grab and depending on the type of job I’m on. I’m a maintenance guy for a big transport company so have to be ready for most scenarios at the drop of a hat so Totes are great. I utilise the Packout system and My tools are 99% Milwaukee so it works well. 👍🎄
It would be so much more awesome if it was it actually useful such as carrying all the basic tools properly which means I would have to be able to fit both of my drills and it along with pliers and other such things and everything would be quick and easy to grab and unfortunately I've got too many bags at half the price of this one that don't have this functionality which means I'm not dumb enough to overpay for this

Totally! And nice collection btw

Perfects for hvac and plumbing imo
Didn’t even look at the smaller bag as just ordered the middle one but think this would of been better for me. Great review mate.
The tech bag is the way to go if you want a robust bag type tool Cary!
I just wish the handle was more solid and stood up without flopping down
I can’t wait to see how you fill the boxes. I see the red charger in the background, too. Lol
haha, yup it has begun. starting to get more red in the shop every week :)
Great review !
Can you include the link for check the old one bag specification please ? , look really nice !!!
Thanks in advance.
I love this bag except for the floppy handle. Just a little annoying

Thanks Michael! I will definitely check out the surge
This bag is perfect to the electrical trade/work flow. All pliers, strippers, cutters, drivers, held upright and within quick reach.
it definitely works best for electricians i think, i turned mine into a glue tote, it's working out awesome for me.
Exactly!
That isn't electricians bag But you can use it for whatever you want 😆🍻🍺😊
please do an updated review on this tote after 2 years of use
I'm gonna use it for my torch kit
Nice!
wonder if they will make a pack out storage bin that fits flush with the 10" tote?

I agree dewalt just dropped the ball on their systems, Milwaukee should have put a tape measure holder on this tote, that's my only dislike of it
My brother is friends with a Dewalt rep and they're coming out with a whole lot more stuff for the 2.0 and I got to see some of the stuff and it's going to blow Milwaukee away
Interesting, can’t wait to see it!

I bought the toughsystem 2.0. 3 days it lasted... 2 of my 3 boxes the hinges broke.
Yellow,,red,,what color next on your radar??
Well.... I’ve done a bit of blue, i think I’m going to get into red a bit more 😁. And perhaps some green
Yeah so check it out I got a real good laugh when he said the reason I love this as I’m gonna get the bigger one
Do the video of the dewalt brushless 20v 6 1/2 circular saw
will do, thx for watching
Nice bag, but yes shallow tool holders are the pits…screw holder snap up is great.
It’s definitely a handy bag. It’s become my glue bag. 2p10, crazy glue, wood glue , wood filler. Handy when I’m doing finishing work.
Do you double up on the same tools so each bag has a certain too,l or do you take tools out of one bag and put it the other bag?

Did you do a follow-up on how it's held up?
DOES THIS COME WITH A SHOULDER STRAP??
It would be nice if it could fold
I bought it and it’s awesome little bag but I quickly put grew it in the span of 8 months
Hey lachie, when did you buy yours ??
what was the other bag he showed us?
thats an old Kunys bag

I agree, I couldn’t figure out what it would really be good for with my work. So I made it into my glue caddy.
Hey gareth when did you purchase yours??

All that yellow stuff behind you will be swapped for Red stuff real soon, once you go Red, Yellow is dead!
This dude is putting Dewalt in a Milwaukee tote......blasphemy.
Lol. You should see my packout bags
