Tools & Materials
Why choose a tilt bin over a case
Traditional Packout parts cases are solid, but you have to remove, open, and carry them even for one fastener. Tilt bins let you crack a single drawer, grab what you need, and keep working. If you keep a small range of screws on hand, this speeds up small fixes and woodworking tasks.
Setup tips that actually help
- Pre-sort by size you reach for most (e.g., 3 in, 2-1/2 in, 2 in). Bottom row first for weight.
- Use the included drop-in labels to start, then switch to a label maker if you want clearer, permanent tags.
- Bins slide fully out—great for bench sorting—but lock them before you move the unit or mount it to avoid spills.
Build touches that matter
The locking mechanism keeps all drawers secure for vans, trucks, or when you’re shifting Packout pieces on the wall. There are two bin sizes; the larger includes a divider for splitting common fasteners. The clear fronts make it easy to confirm contents without pulling anything down.
About those mixed reviews
The negative buzz isn’t about performance. A retailer listing initially suggested a two-for-one deal and later wasn’t honored, dragging down ratings. Separate the pricing drama from the product’s function when you evaluate it.
Real-world capacity insights
A small bin can swallow what used to fill most of a small parts case compartment. That means you can consolidate several fasteners into just a row or two and leave room for future expansion as your setup grows.
Bottom line: For a Packout wall where you want fast access to common fasteners, the Milwaukee Tilt Bin Organizer delivers smooth access and secure storage. If you value speed over carrying entire cases, this is an easy win.
