Excellent (smaller) toolbox |
|
This toolbox is made of solid metal, which is pretty nice because plastic stuff breaks eventually. This thing feels solid. It has a nice top drawer that you can pull out. I use this as my toolbox between going between my two houses, I keep a small cordless drill and its charger, some caulk, a level, a hammer, drill bit set, safety goggles, utility blade, small flashlight, tape measure, a bunch of screws and nails of various lengths and maybe a few other small things that I'm forgetting (ahh, pliers and a couple of screwdrivers). It is a little bit of an exercise to get all of this into this relatively small tool box, but I actually like the small size of it. Easy to pack into the car, sturdy, etc. For the simple user, it is perfect. If you're a pro, you probably need one of the metal boxes with drawers. |

I love Milwaukee's Retro Aesthetic |
"Wow... 'Me-Tal.'" - Bart Simpson
You just don't see stuff like this anymore (at least I haven't since I was a kid). I love mine and can't wait to put my 5.5 amp Magnum Hole Shooter in it. My fiancee digs it too and she could care less about the tools. Plenty of room in the top tray for additional hand tools, bits, and other accessories.
I knock one star off because I thought the foam protective material was glued somewhat carelessly and there were some scratches on the interior of mine that seemed avoidable. Don't get me wrong. I fully expect this thing to scratched up over time. I'm not one of those daft idiots who buys a Ford F150 and then refuses to actually move anything with it for fear of scuffing the paint or getting dirt on it, (full disclosure: I'm really more of a proud '2001 Civic EX owner but I still hate those guys), but I would prefer that the paint scuffs and scratches be my own. These were all on the interior though.
In any case, through this and other products, Milwaukee has converted me from a web developer with fixer-upper ambitions to a full-on, Tim-Allen parodied, tool nerd.
Equally cool, is the case for the Milwaukee carbide drill bits I got, but I won't review those until I've actually used them.
For all the time I've spent pissing on brand loyalists on the web, Milwaukee may have made a total hypocrite out of me. Oh well, at least I can be fairly certain none of my tools will be mediocre.
Now do I get the V28 combo kit a year before I really need it or do I just content myself with some completely gratuitous M12 toys and hold out for an M28 line that may or may not appear next fall? Or do I just buy a freakin' 15 amp super sawzall and put out an ad on Craigslist to come destroy !@#$ for people for the cost of new blades and high-risk emergency medical insurance? |

Nice quality box fits "standard size" Milwaukee corded drills |
This is a nice quality toolbox. Pretty much what one would expect from Milwaukee. It fits the "standard size" pistol-grip corded electric drils very well. In the bottom there is a padded yoke to hold the body of the drill and a pad to absorb shocks from the drill chuck. There is enough room for a driver to be left in the chuck of the Milwaukee Mangnum Drill 0233-20 (or one of the many similar models) when it is in the box.
The box does not fit the Milwaukee cordless drills well, (one would have to remove the battery) but my cordless models come with a form-fitted plastic box.
Fit and finish are nice. The finish seems to be both tougher and thicker than the finish on my Super Sawzall tool case.
There is room for a typical box of 1/16" to 1/2" dril bits in the bottom of the box with the drill, the extra hand grip (unattached), and the cord folded in.
The top tray is adequate for a collection of accessories, like driver bits, right-angle driver, and loose bits. It will not take any of the drill index boxes I own. |

2nds at Best! |
|
This is the only Milwaukee product that I have ever purchased that was poorly made. I ordered 4 power tool carrying cases and all four came with very poor paint jobs. The only good thing that came out of this transaction was that the vendor quickly provided cost free return and credited my account. Unfortunately, the vendor was not able to provide top-quality replacements. |

Proper Tool Box |
I purchased a Milwaukee 1/2" magnum drill and it didn't come with a case when I bought it. I ordered this case, it came very quickly in perfect condition. It fits the tool just right and has room for bits and a center punch and hammer.
Milwaukee builds tools right!
