Whether you need to store tools or store crafting materials, or even just organize your Dungeons & Dragons items, the versatility of a mobile, customizable storage system makes it a great alternative to large plastic totes and milk crates. The ability to pick from many different types of storage, from drawers and toolboxes to boxes and crates, makes any modular system worth a look. But where Walmart and Harbor Freight offer budget solutions, the Milwaukee Packout system is by far the most popular for people who need serious, durable tool storage. Milwaukee lists nearly 200 products in the Packout category on its website, and is constantly releasing new Packout products, including cleaning accessory kits and spool storage accessories.
Milwaukee’s Packout is consistently rated one of the best modular storage systems, and this new wave of Packout tool box accessories and dividers make a great system even better. Many of Milwaukee’s new accessories are designed to attach to the interior or exterior of larger Packout tool boxes or crates, allowing users to customize and organize storage within their Packout system or attach their most needed items into easily accessible storage units without having to disassemble the entire Packout stack. All products listed here are covered by Milwaukee’s limited lifetime warranty and all products should be on shelves by April 2026.

Packaging Tool Box Double Box Accessories

Packout is one of the best portable tool box brands on the market, but even the best products have limitations. One of the most common problems with stacked modular tool storage systems is that quickly accessing items can be a pain. If the bolts for the upper manifold are stored in the middle of the stack, you will have to disassemble the entire system to access them. In the grand scheme of things, this is just a minor inconvenience, but annoying nonetheless.
Milwaukee takes the hassle out of accessing parts in the middle of the stack by offering accessories like the Packing Tool Box Two-Box Attachment. This pair of small boxes securely attaches to the outside of the packing pile, allowing quick and easy access to nuts, bolts and other small parts. The secure, clear lid makes it easy to identify what’s inside, and it also includes two dividers in case you need more separation of small parts. If you don’t use these dividers, Milwaukee even planned ahead and designed divider storage onto this accessory, so you still have those dividers handy for emergencies.
The Packout Tool Box Two-Bin Attachment has an MSRP of $34.99, and you can sign up here to receive notifications from Milwaukee when it becomes available.

The tray is over 11 inches long and features a clear plastic lid that closes securely when you’re not using it regularly.
