What a waste of space :w00t:
 
Not kidding. Space for me is a premium. Not packing that to the gills is a sin. :lol:
 
My backorder came in. 3 stack plus slim organizer.

Questions:
1. Had anyone had issues leaving this out in snow and ice? It seems like the way they lock together could become a big issue if you leave this thing out in your truck bed.

2. Can you use this as a stool? I mean, I know it says right on the lid not to. But, can you? The lid doesn't seem too heavy duty.
 
I've stood on mine. I keep my feet away from the center as much as possible. It's IP65 rated for weather. But it's not rated to be free from locking up from ice. Maybe make a nice fitted cover for it.
 
I’ve stood on an LBoxx before with no issues. The key is to stand on the outer edges, not right in the middle. By the way, I weigh about 250, and an LBoxx is way lighter weight than the Packout.

Also, proceed at your own risk

That little drill box is a nice kit with the molded plastic dropped in. One thing I’m noticing is that you cannot overfill the bins or the lid squares won’t drop in all the way. This also means you don’t have complete control of what bins go where. While the locking between boxes system works well, I don’t think it’s a perfect system.

There is no perfect system. But yes, they could have easily solved that by making the rectangular indents into square indents so both would fit underneath.

We use BBQ covers for a lot of stuff. Might work for the packout.

I used a razor knife to cut the small containers.

I've stood in the middle of any of my pack out main three size boxes. And clear top ones only if cups are inside. I'm 250......ish
 
In the packout rolling base unit. Under the lid there are two holes that line up with the two holes for the rapid dual charger. Left or right side. It will fight with the tray if you need them on same side.

Pro tip.........careful the screw depth or you will poke through the lid.........don't ask how I know.

Any idea what the two holes in the center between mounted chargers are for? Looks like battery or tape measure or something of similar size.
 
Yes i know its full of ryobi tools but i started using them back when they were still nicad battery's and honistly they have held up so well that i have never felt the need to replace them with milwaukee since they haven't let me down and cost about 1/3 the cost. I am looking to pickup a few more of the small boxes to put my bosch hammer drill and rotory hammers in as well as a few other tools including my portercable routers. Most of my non ryobi tools have been living in the original metal cases. The nice thing is they lock in which would make them work really well in a trailer.
