Let’s talk about the new Milwaukee Packout cabinet (48-22-8445), which features a quick-access door that makes it a first-of-its-kind.
Another unique aspect of the Packout cabinet is that it can be mounted to the wall (Packout wall plates are not included), and it can also be stacked with other Packout tool boxes. The cabinet is compatible with other Packout products and accessories, such as wheeled dollies, shelves, and base plates.
The Packout cabinet features a 50 pound weight capacity, latching storage door, and metal-reinforced locking point.
You can connect the cabinet to full-width Packout accessories on the bottom, and connect Packout tool boxes, organizers, and other compatible stackable products on top.
One thing to note is that the cabinet has a 25 lb transit weight capacity.
The cabinet weighs 16 pounds. From the product images, it has molded side handles.

Discussion
The beauty of the new Packout cabinet is that you can mount it to the wall, as part of Milwaukee’s new workshop storage system, or add it to your stack of Packout tool box.
As with drawered tool boxes, the quick-access door allows users to grab their tools and supplies without having to undock an entire stack of tool boxes. You just lift the flap, and there’s your gear.
A lot of Packout users have been asking for more easy-access tool box solutions. Does this new cabinet suit your needs and wants, or are you still waiting for something a little different?
