New Milwaukee PACKOUT Customizable Work Top IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED 

*****HUGE FAN! THIS IS WHY I WONT ORDER ANYTHING WITHOUT YOUR INPUT!!!! 💯*****

I love how Vince uses 2 impact drivers, instead of grabbing a wrench to fasten the work surface😄

Install threaded inserts in the table that way you can easily take things on and off with impact gun. No need for multiple tables

Maybe a chop saw for trim work. You can wheel the saw to different rooms to trim out doors and windows.

Looked like the tote was pretty empty. A load of tools would stabilize it.

Have to rewatch just to see how many different Milwaukee products he used in this video alone

Well worth the $50 if you're going to use it to max potential! Just waiting on the drawer system to come through for packout to buy it. Honestly debating skipping having an actual tool box or just getting the packout with drawers, a sturdy table and a sawhorse.

screw a second piece of ply to the first and overhang it. Then you can clamp to it for making jigsaw cuts, handsaw cuts, etc... Kreg jig set up would also be a good use for it.

Vince at this point your doing better demonstrations then milwaukee guys. Love your work brother

Milwaukee needs to make a tailgate packout mount...this would be a great work surface on a Pick up.

The work top would really be great in aluminum with a plywood surface!

Hope all of the VCG Gang is having a good evening! Great job!🧰🪜🪛🔨👍

That would work great for a pocket hole jig. Build it out with dust collection and hookup the pack out vac.

I was so sure it was going to snap apart. Pretty impressive, would be perfect to mount a vice to cut conduit and strut off of.

Take the plywood top out, have a piece of aluminum plate machined to match. Drill and tap the plate and use that to attach your plywood to. Use it as a subplate. That way you dont need to buy more then one of the plastic parts.

Under the table top would be a great spot to hide a tracker!

I'm setting mine up to hold various Key Cutting Machines for a Locksmith Van. It is very Versatile in that respect as I can store Machines on Different Worktops and Store them easily for a QUICK Swap. After all Time is Money.

you could even use the packout shelf to store the vise in your van or trailer!

I just got the work top last week, now that I’ve seen this video, I’m going to replace the pretty wood with something more durable or sacrificial. I can make several with differing hole patterns to bolt on several different items. A vice or a my compact drill press or my compact bandsaw cutoff cradle or even a mitre saw! I think I would probably find a way to fix the nuts in place underneath so it’s faster to swap out tops🤔 Thanks for the great content and mod ideas👊🏻👍🏻

Going to buy one tomorrow... it also will make a lid for my milk crate

Yeppers, I’m going to use this top to mix cocktail’s and roll some joints on it.

Waiting to see how many more tools vince pulls put for this video! 2 multitools, 2 impacts and a band saw so far!

I can see a lot of possibilities for this top that I did not think of until I saw this video.

Imagine the rolling cart with 2 stacks and two of these to top the stacks or two stack units with the drawer units one of these on each and a connecting top you could quickly attach to each. Lots of possibilities, like a series of bench top tools that could be used by switching them out. It is a better looking top after seeing this. Also there is no reason 3/4 plywood could not be used as well with a second piece attached that was larger so more than one tool could be used. Think of a bench top planner, sander, kreig tool and a vise all on one slightly larger top. The whole works could travel to the job on one cart and be ready to use, particularly with the big hand truck and drawer units under it. Looks better all the time.

This is by far one of your best produced videos. Funny, informative, and not chessy. Appreciate you V

Like the idea of using the original top as a template, but how about sandwiches 1/8 metal stripes top & bottom with wing nuts to switch out vises or whatever you need, just a thought instead of buying more tops to customize for each one. Just a thought it did surprise me how stable it was & tight on the locks. Great Job stay safe! Happy Holidays!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I just bought one and was looking for a small vice to put on it. After your video I'm using my big vice on it now thanks Vince.

Love the packout system; I’ve got the rolling box, two large tool boxes, five tool boxes, four organizers, six crates, the vacuum, the tool bag, the dolly, the “two wheeled cart” on the way, and five of the mounting plates. I use them to organize my tools, camping equipment, various spare parts and gear for my fifth wheel RV. It’s awesome. I’m certainly gonna snag one of these tables up. Initial plan is to create a top that allows easy mounting/unmounting of things like my Wicked Edge Go knife sharpener but still maintain the usefulness of the table top... though, if I’m being honest, I’m gonna get it because it’s more of a second kind of cool; it will make me happy to own it and I know I’ll enjoy using it for a long time to come. That right there makes it worth fifty bucks, to me. Thanks for the content!

Nice. You could add a larger sheet for a quick mobile assembly table.will be getting one for my packout stack

that stash spot gave me ideas thanks

Fabricated a padded top and now you have a seat for your packout. A Great addition to go with the cooler addon.

Hi I love Milluakee and DeWalt I just got the DeWalt 887 impact driver

@VCG Construction. Thanks Vince for keeping it real with your testing. So the Milwaukee PACKOUT Customizable Work Top is a go while the new dolly is a no go. Can't wait for more testing of the new Milwaukee stuff. I don't see the same kind of testing elsewhere. Hope you and your family stay safe and well. Merry Christmas.

OSB the was wood of the construction industry. It was wood until the coffee spilled on it. Good idea on swapping it though.

Wow, what a surprise. I'm going to have to keep this in mind. Who would have thought, not only do you get a work bench. But you also get a place to store your tools as well.... No wasted space.

Why do i feel like he was taking shots at AvE? 😂😂😂

Wondering if you could use some kind of wing nuts or cam lock to secure your vice(s) and swap it out if you only had the one top to work with. The OSB suggestion is a good one. You spend $50 and then set about destroying the nice smooth top. You could save that for a writing surface or sketching out a field drawing in the truck or somewhere, and then you have it for template time when you need it. Maybe attach a spring clip to hold a notepad.

If I were to get one, I'd replace the marine ply with hard wood or aluminum.

Well if nobody bought it ,that 2 dollar piece of plastic would drop in price quickly. Seems way to much for what it is. Just my 2 cents

I’m thinking a packout bracket on a workbench and different work tops with different tools/equipment would be pretty slick.

Very cool! If i had packouts id get more tops

These videos are pure fun and I learn a lot from them!

Ahhhhhh man Vince an executive at Milwaukee just threw his laptop out the window when he saw you put that plywood on that worktop 😂😂😂😂😂 swap out the top 👍

I work in a machine shop I would machine a piece of aluminum and fit it on there with countersunk screws so I can put my advice on the end and I know it will hold up and still have a little workspace

So glad I found a great Boss to follow his lead. Thanks again Boss 👍 smashed the like button and got me one of these.

It’s not a terrible vise work station.. I do hydrojetting sewer lines and often need to change nozzles and such.. it’s going to work for me

Cool, now I'm gonna go make one for my rigid tool storage system

At Home Depot, you can get a hardwood 26×17 rolling tool cabinet top for 20 bucks. Then find a buddy with a 3D printer. Thingverse has files for packout feet. 👍

I am buying the adapter and the worktop to add to my 5 drawer tool cart to make the lid more useful.

I use the packout system in my jeep gladiator for my youtube channel. Holds my camera equipment, drone, cooking stuff, dry food, and tools. Great versatile. Durable products. I like this too. Time to buy. 😆. I like your channel. Informative and funny. .

Working according to design. Good to see that. I will get may be 2 later. Need that framing nailer first.

The saying "whatever floats your boat" comes to mind. I personally will just bring a portable work table to the job site like my $69 Dewalt quick fold table. $20 more and more versatile. But if ya got the, as Vince says "do re mi" then more power to ya.

Going to get one to use as cutting board when camping.

I mean it's not like I'm gonna buy it at MSRP but when it inevitably drops $15-20 at the Depot? When it gets included in the next big combo deal? I could definitely see picking it up then.

Seems like a very solid investment if you bought 2 and a sheet of plywood the $125 would pay itself off in time saved in only a couple months plus youd have many work tops ready to roll down the line

Love that you were able to say you were wrong once you tried it out. Class man.

Vince, ever the tool genius with the template idea

I fitted my mitter saw. Its great!

Actually, now that you mention it, I could maybe see myself putting a ridgid pipe-vice on one-side and using it as an impromptu tri-stand.

Yo Vince! Most impressive from beginning to end. MOST impressive to me, personally, was the locking mechanism on the PACKOUT to keep everything stable! 😲 Take care, and God bless!😁👍✌

Love your videos just got one question I'm a plumber and I was wondering can you thread pipes on there with a Milwaukee pipe threader.

If it works that good without tape or dope it will work even better with it. I’m a plumber and almost everyone I work with has a pack out set of some sort. I’ve resisted mainly because of the cost but if I can set it up with a pipe vice it might make it worth it. The only other issue is I’m a service guy so I’m in a van or small truck and therefore don’t have the space. The other downside is it gives thieves an easy way to steal it

Maybe this pipes not big enough, lets try a bigger one! 😂😂😂😂 Love it!

this would come in clutch for a soldering station that you dont always need but when you do you never have somewhere to use it

@VCG, also Smashed the Like Button, cuz I respect you for being willing to take a second look and being open to changing your mind.

That work top looks awesome. Didn’t really consider it until I watched this. Add it to the list! Have a great night! 👍🏻

Now put a 10 inch miter saw on it!!!! Thad be sweeeet

Carrying the yojimbo. nice

Vince is funny as hell in this vid

I wonder if Milwaukee expected packout to be this successful

Now this is something I can use on the field

i love this channel so much... thanks guys for putting your time and setting us up for success.

Hey thank u for this. I needed to see this. I have almost all pack out gear now. I am a small business owner / handyman service.

for 100$ with the packout top and the packout floor mount you can turn anything into a packout now!

Imagine putting the mounting plate on your work bench with this and having multiple tops with different tools such as a vice, grinding wheel, belt sander etc.

I like how Vince installed the Vise and started turning it; only to notice that the handle kept hitting the bottom of the board. Next clip he completely moved the vise 90degrees as if it’s always been like that. Probably created a new board using his Marine Finish Template 😂

Most underestimate how much their time is worth. If it saves time and or makes your job easier then it’s most likely worth it. We spend tons on hobbies that we do a couple of hours here and there but not on what we do day in and day out.

Been trying to decide what work surface gets my bench grinder. I guess now I know!

I would try threaded inserts into the top for different setups

That top is really impressive. After seeing this video I do believe I am going to get a couple. Thanks Vince.

After watching your video on the rolling tool cart that no one is buying, I would make a doublewide plywood top that is secured to two sets of packout drawers. You could also make it so that it folds by adding a hinge. I would mount T-nuts in vaarious locations on the underside of the plywood to secure accessories such as a vice or chop saw and store them in the large rolling tool cart . If you use 3/4" plywood or MDF, you could even add T-track for hold downs and the like.

Like the tip, smart keeping the original top for a template. Put on steel top and it is magnetic!

Wasn't really considering it but the vice is the one thing I miss having with me doing HVAC, going to have to seriously consider it now...

Great ideals would go one step further by putting a 3/4” or 1” this way I could run a circular saw over it and not cut through plastic boarder. Love the vise and pipe test. Keep up the good work...

That would be a good spot to mount my 7 1/4 inch miter saw 🤷‍♂️

Fantastic video brother sold me on it.

Yes. I could see someone somewhere getting some use out of this.

Favorite tool show along with MCT! Thx vince

It be a Awsome idea to put two 6 port m18 Milwaukee chargers mounts on that

6:49 I would stash 3 bucks, which is now my savings after I bought a screwdriver on black friday.

Vince has a surprising amount of dexterity in his fingers!!! Lol!!!

Vince I like reviews. I bought the packout top and decided to fab a steel top for mine. I have magnetic socket holders from Olsa tools. Works out 👍

Got me one! Plan to make plates for different uses!

Vince, you are fun to watch - you are always enthusiastic and often hilarious! I'm loving the Milwaukee tools and the packout system, too. Keep up the good videos.

Marine grade top = template for plate steel top. I do hvac and pipe fitting so it would be nice to have a metal top that I can attach magnets and such to.

Im grabbing one of these for my pockethole jig. I never have a good dedicated spot to do them in the field.

I like the concept, but not for pipe, after all the Packout is only plastic. For cutting, sure. I love the video. Good job Vince.

Just order mine. I’m using it to place my beer on it

Milwaukee release 10mm socket. I didn't expect this to drive nuts!

Very Cool Video, Keep up the very educational very cool great videos
