Milwaukee Packout Storage System
These Intelligently designed storage boxes make it easier to get your stuff to the job.
Milwaukee’s Packout Storage System includes tool totes, fastener organizers, and tool cases. All the components lock together so they can be moved on the rolling base. The tool totes come in three sizes—10 in., 15 in., and 20 in.—and they have lots of pockets, comfortable handles, and shoulder straps. The fastener boxes come in two sizes and have gasketed lids and sturdy latches and handles. The tool cases come in three sizes and have latches and handles similar to the fastener boxes. If you haven’t yet committed to a modular tool storage system, this is definitely one to consider.

They should build these pack out kits ( no matter who the manufacturer is) with pneumatic wheels or some type rubber wheels. these wheels are only good for smooth surfaces, they are terrible for going cross country to a job site.
Perhaps, they should include a muscular youth to lift it into your truck. More information about the unit handling as a whole should be added to the presentation.
Agreed. This just seemed more like a product demo no different than you'd find on the website of the company that made it. It'd be nice to see some review added in.
Patrick, Sure wished that you had discussed the system is some depth such as construction (forgiving non-brittle plastic?, wheels of substantial construction?), design (e.g. latches/locks durable and easy to use? nice detents on the parts module to keep pieces from co-mingling when tilted, comfort & placement of handles?). Did you try putting it through it's paces, knock it over, let it fall down three steps when loaded?
