DeWalt though box vs Milwaukee Packout.

[FoxSTI]

So I have to say that I am a fan of the Milwaukee brand and that I what I mostly own. Recently I purchased two packout boxes as I did not know really know about DeWalts' Thoughbox offering.

With that say I really like(d) the Packout for quality and build, but I found two things to be very annoying.

1- Unlike DeWalt they do not have a drawer box (I am wondering if they ever would)

2- If I want to get to the tool on the bottom of middle box (imagine they are all stacked), I need to remove the boxes and unclip one at a time until I get to the box I want. Whereas with DeWalt, if you put the boxes on the trolley you can just grab the box you need.

I took my two Packout boxes to the track with some power tools and other important wrenches (I have a car I take to the race track - so I am really looking for the best way to transport and access my tools efficiently) and I really found the packout to be a PITA accessing my tools. I am wondering if the DeWalk will be any better.

Guys any thoughts?

PS: I hate that I have to put Milwaukee tools in a Dewalt box. lol

Agreed, the way the Dewalt boxes go on the trolley is pretty well designed. It's a bulky system, but has a lot of advantages. I use the Bosch system pretty extensively, or used to anyway, and it's damn good. For whatever reason though, the Bosch system doesn't seem like it's very popular. I haven't personally handled the Packout stuff, but even as a Milwaukee fan, I can't say it looks that great.
