Milwaukee PACKOUT Drawer Tool Box

Drawer count is the only difference in the model designation: 48-22-8442 is the 2-drawer PACKOUT tool box, 48-22-8443 is the 3-drawer. Both share the same impact resistant body, metal reinforced corners, metal ball bearing drawer slides, and the locking security bar that holds the drawers shut in transit. Pick the 3-drawer if you want more separation between small parts and fittings; pick the 2-drawer if you want deeper drawers for bulkier hand tools.

Yes. The PACKOUT drawer tool box uses the same modular connectivity as all PACKOUT components, so it mounts onto a PACKOUT rolling box, stacks with crates and organizers, and locks into the system the same way. If you already run PACKOUT on the truck, this drops straight into the stack.

One set of Quick-Adjust dividers ships with the box. That covers basic internal organization out of the gate, so you can section drawers for connectors, wire nuts, or bits without a separate purchase on day one.

No. A locking security bar holds the drawers shut, so the box can be lifted off a stack or hauled in the back of a van without drawers sliding open. The slides themselves are metal ball bearing, so they still run smooth when you release the bar on site.

Go with the drawer box when you are pulling small parts repeatedly during a day: fittings, terminals, fasteners, bits. Drawers plus the Quick-Adjust dividers let you reach one item without unstacking anything above it. A crate or lift-lid box is the better call for bulk gear, long tools, and cordless kits that will not sit in a shallow drawer. Many crews run one drawer box for consumables and stack crates underneath for power tools, since all PACKOUT components connect to each other.

It is built for it: impact resistant body with metal reinforced corners, which are the first thing to go on a plastic box that gets dropped off a tailgate. The metal ball bearing slides also hold up better than plastic runners when drawers are cycled dozens of times a day. For a property maintenance fleet standardizing across techs, both drawer counts carry the same construction, so you can mix them in one spec.
