I bought the m12 installation driver a little while ago and realized quickly that it justified good organization due to all the parts, so I went looking for packout inserts.

Came across Jonah Pope's designs for 3d printed inserts and bought the files.


This setup is awesome. Everything has a home and there is lots of space for bits, screws, anchors and more. I'm still messing around to find the best layout for me, but so far, I really like it. I'd say the only downside is you need a pretty big printer to make this work

Jonah also has designs for lots of other tools, too. This isn't an ad, I paid for the files and am just a happy customer.

What do you find you use this on the most?
I havent had it for all that long, but it's come in handy for inside cabinets (removal, not install so far) and some electrical work. I like the interchangeable chucks and expect the right angle will be nice to have. The form factor is interesting and seems comfortable so far, so I'm trying to make it my go to for stuff that doesn't require a ton of power.

I am far from a heavy user of a tool like this but had been eying it for a couple years and just decided to pull the trigger when I had a bunch of cabinets to deal with.

@mike93lx I'm not a fan of the packout system myself at this point in life, but I could see in another previous life the benefits of how a well organized system like this could make it better having all the things that go with certain specialty tools together would make life a bit easier. Nice job.
I'm sometimes saddened by seeing things like this, things that this old guy didn't have access to when I was younger and did more DIY things.

This is the only packout I have and I don't know if that will change. I'd definitely not looking to have a stack as I don't really travel with tools. This one was just because of all the components... For something like an impact, I'll just toss it in a soft bag when I need to swing over to a friend's to help on something.

The choices in organization sure are incredible. But both in capability and cost.

Jonah has some very cool tool organization. I wish he had some for the Dewalt ToughSystem.
