Milwaukee Packout wall system

[D60]

My aging folks recently asked me to get their laundry room organized. My dad doesn't really do ANYTHING with tools anymore but I think he feels a sense of security having some tools. I get it -- I'll likely be exactly the same way in my 80's.

I replaced the homebrew plywood workbench with a 46" Husky box. My dad needs drawers he can pull out rather than shelves below a workbench where things are shoved back and never seen again.

It's a TINY room but I decided to play around with the Packout wall system just because it offers him the chance to configure as he pleases. It's kind of a neat system, but like all "systems" you pay for the privilege and are at the mercy of what they offer.

I doubt there's any in my future mostly because I'd actually have to keep a wall clear enough to walk up to it, but it has its place. Actually the wife wants some organizers in the house for jewelry (not joking)

I ordered 99% of the Packout from Acme tools because they actually had most in stock for a single order.

I mounted everything low because my folks can't really lift or reach above shoulder height. This is not an ideal installation but gives you an idea

That’s really well done. Given the space constraints by the washing machine, I’d say it’s awesome!

Love the Packout system.

I recently got a few Packout boxes ready for my travel tools. Once it's shadowed I'll share it here.

Hopefully nobody dumps laundry detergent in the upper tool drawers or tidy whites in the with screw drivers! Nicely done.

Working on it.

These are going in a 48-22-8424.
