Ah, the Milwaukee Packout. A glorious modular storage system for your tools, a testament to organization, a beacon of efficiency in a chaotic workshop. But sometimes, my friend, sometimes that glorious system becomes a relentless prison.

With this guide, you'll be a Packout Houdini in no time, tools freed and ready to conquer your next project.
How To Detach Milwaukee Packout |
Step 1: Assess the Situation (Because You Don't Want to Look Like a Doofus)
First things first, take a deep breath and avoid the primal urge to Hulk-smash your Packouts apart. (We've all been there, buddy.) Gently identify which Packout you need to liberate. Is it the lone wolf at the top, or the mastermind behind a multi-tiered storage conspiracy? This intel is crucial for a smooth escape.
Step 2: Embrace the Red Tabs (They're Your Friends, Not Foes)
Those little red tabs on the sides? They're not there to mock you, they're the key to your freedom! Locate the red tabs on the Packout you wish to detach. Now, here's where things get interesting. Depending on your Packout model, the escape plan might differ slightly.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
For standard Packouts (lids, not drawers): Give those red tabs a firm but gentle squeeze. They should depress, releasing the Packout from its brethren. Pro Tip: If the tabs seem a little stubborn, don't resort to brute force. Sometimes, a little wiggle accompanied by a friendly "come on, buddy" does the trick.
For drawer Packouts: Here's where things get a bit more…technical. There's a hidden black tab under the red one. You might need a flat-head screwdriver to pry the red tab up slightly, then push down on the black tab. Caution: Apply screwdriver pressure with finesse, or you might end up with a screwdriver-shaped dent in your Packout (don't ask me how I know).
Step 3: The Joyful Disconnection (Sing Hallelujah!)
Once you've successfully depressed the red tabs (or freed the black tab for the drawer Packouts), with a satisfying click, your chosen Packout should be free! Lift it triumphantly, like a warrior claiming their prize.
Important Note: While celebrating your newfound freedom is encouraged, avoid excessive fist-pumping near the remaining Packouts. We don't want to trigger an accidental Packout avalanche, now do we?
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
