You just need to buy duplicate tools. We're contractors, we have money falling out of our wallets. Just go look at the TBA thread :laughing:

I'm lifting it case by case. Takes a bit more time (but I'm worth it!) and I know I won't hurt myself. My rolling box probably weighs 60lbs. I'm going to have to weigh them now.

To bad everyone already found them elsewhere.

Now it's just trying to convince them to carry the rest of the line. Home depot told me they can't order anything other then the 3 piece kit.

TSC told me they can't order anything I don't see on their shelves.

I know I know I can buy online I'm just an instant gratification guy I want to leave with my purchase

Guess you'll need to visit the states to go to Coastal Tool. They have most in stock as separates. They don't even sell the 3 box kit, its all individuals.

Just got the 15 I use my 10 in all the time only thing I don't like about the 10 is the handle wish it was ridgid like the 15.

The 15 is nice because I can drop a couple m12 tools on one side perfect for small service calls where I don't need the full line up of tools.

I may make a trip down to Ohio next weekend will have to look for some organizers. Wouldn't mind one more small one for the bottom of the 15 in tote. The ones I got came with fuel tools in them so no bins would love to have the bins.

Here is the 15 and the 10 next two each other they compliment each other well if only the 10 didn't have a flimsy handle.

I also hate that my 10 didn't come with a shoulder strap not sure if that was a mistake or if they just don't come with one.

May try complaining to milwaukee see if they will send me a free one lord knows I spend enough on their products they can afford me a shoulder strap

You should announce that in the TBA thread. You should be very proud of yourself.

Had to put the 36v Makita saw in the Packout system. Wasn't sure if I could make it fit. The dual charge is pretty big and won't be joining the saw. The single charger is just going to have to do. Pushes the same current as the double.

Saw has to go in upside down or it takes up a ridiculous amount of room. And it fits best towards the front.

Can't fit much more in there now. Smaller items would go.

I rarely need a compressor, but I saw somewhere that somebody shoehorned a small compressor into a LBoxx and insulated the LBoxx to cut down on noise. Why can’t the tool companies figure this stuff out with all of their r&d resources.
There are a few companies that put their compressors into Systainers.

They are expensive! So if Milwaukee released a good quality larger compressor that was quiet, I could see it being a hit. With their new 12Ah battery it could probably even be cordless. I do plan to pickup one of Milwaukee's little M12 compressors to leave in the wife's car along with a plug kit for traveling.

A quiet vacuum I would pay for nothing worse than disturbing an entire office vacuuming up your mess.

If kill for a rolling cart like the one pictured and take enviroreel wire dispensers and make them packout compatible with a full range of cabling options.

Would like to stack several spools and wheel them around.
