Milwaukee Jobsite Organizer Review

Pro Tool Reviews: I’m sure almost all of us have experienced it at some point – using a converted tackle box as an organizer for fasteners, connectors, and other items. I’m guilty. I learned it from my dad, who learned it from his dad, and so on. The problem is that as soon as you tip it over, “organized” is no longer a term you can accurately use for the contents.

This is probably one of the most compatible hardware organizers I have ever seen. I love all of the features. One of my favorite features is the squares located on the bottom of the box to hold the smaller trays in place. Often times with these organization boxes, the smaller compartments fly around and get stuck in between spaces where they should be. Another cool feature is having the ability to mount the smaller organization boxes by screws onto the wall for easy shelving and access. I like this feature because it doesn’t require having to keep the whole box open or together to use one type of hardware. Also, if multiple inner boxes could be purchased, one set could be for shelving and another for the box itself, and they could be switched around depending on what job you needed the box to be present for. In conclusion, this organizational tool looks very durable and practical, as well as versatile and right for any job.

This organizer looks amazing. One of the most common problems in any shop is grabbing a bin of, say, screws, and having a bunch of random other sizes of screw in it along with some nuts and other hardware. When everything is in a tool room, it’s easier to keep it separate because those bins are not meant to be taken out with you, but it’s the small on-site bins that always seem to get the most messy, wether its because people are careless or you don’t have enough bins with you so you lump things together. With this organizer, it’s compact enough that carrying it around isn't a hassle and it has eight bins of varying sizes in each so you can keep everything you need together, but separate. And it stacks with other organizers! I especially like how each bin clicks in on the bottom so if you take one out the rest wont slide around. And the seal on the lid is so essential.

Everybody loves organizer, and I think tool boxes has been trying to do so much life time long research and development and constantly comes up with new designs all the time. Not only organizers but tool set and the tool itself. I think this is very interesting and I admire and respect the never ending development process. I makes the company grows and the world benefits from it
I imagined myself as a person who would be the target user of this innovation and I think I will of course benefits a lot from this new design despite the fact that I myself would never be able to carry this box around without dragging it in the cart or have someone helping me but that’s also not the point. I think this box will help target users’ life become much easier just like other organizers’ main purposes : to keep life clear and organized. I actually think this box design itself will also be very applicable to other job fields like makeup artists where they need to carry all those cosmetic products and must be very organized, or costume productions would also benefits from this too. I think.

Milwaukee is probably one of my favorite tool brands. After working in a shop it is easy to see what tools last and what ones don’t. Milwaukee holds it own and can pretty much stand up to anything you put it through. To see them come out with an organizer really does put a smile on my face. One of my biggest pet peeves is not being able to find the proper screws and fasteners for the job. Time efficiency is so important when building scenery and has the small things all in one place will only speed up the process. Another key component about this product is how compact it is. Most shops don’t have the space for all the accessories required for construction, so to have a space saver aspect to this is really convenient. So many companies are realizing this and designing similar storage units, but Milwaukee is defiantly the one I would pick.
