Key Features
50 lb CapacityThis Milwaukee drawer tool box gives you a full 50 pounds of storage capacity, so you can load hand tools, sockets, fasteners, and small parts without babying it. Built for the JobsiteImpact-resistant polymers, metal-reinforced corners, and metal ball bearing drawer slides are there for one reason: this box is made to handle transport, stacking, and daily abuse. PACKOUT System FitPart of the Milwaukee PACKOUT modular storage system, it locks into other PACKOUT components so your setup stays organized from shop to truck to jobsite.
Overview
The Milwaukee PACKOUT 3-Drawer Tool Box, model 48-22-8443, is a modular storage box built for tradesmen and serious users who need fast access to tools without unstacking their whole setup. This is a drawer tool box designed for tool organization, transport, and jobsite durability. If you already run PACKOUT, this gives you a cleaner way to carry hand tools, layout gear, electrical supplies, automotive tools, and hardware that would get buried in a standard tote or crate.
The big selling point here is simple: you get three drawers and a 50 lb weight capacity in one compact footprint. That matters because drawers let you get to the gear you use most without pulling the lid off a box or taking other modules off the stack. Milwaukee also adds a locking security bar so the drawers stay shut during transport and can be padlocked closed. If your setup rides in a van, trailer, or service truck, that is the kind of feature you appreciate pretty quickly.
Milwaukee built this unit around impact-resistant polymers, metal-reinforced corners, and all-metal ball bearing drawer slides. That combination tells you exactly what kind of product this is. The body is meant to take hits, the corners are reinforced for stack and transport wear, and the drawer slides are there so the drawers keep moving smoothly under load. This is not just a shop organizer. It is a portable storage solution meant to live in the real world.
Organization is another strong point. The Milwaukee PACKOUT 3-Drawer Tool Box includes one set of Quick-Adjust Dividers, so you can break the drawer space up for sockets, terminals, drill bits, hand tools, blades, or specialty parts. That kind of internal organization matters more than people think. A drawer box only saves time if you can actually separate your gear in a way that matches how you work. Milwaukee gives you that flexibility right out of the box.
In practical terms, the overall size of 22.2 in. wide, 16.3 in. deep, and 14.3 in. high makes this a useful middle ground in a storage stack. It is large enough to hold a serious amount of equipment, but still compact enough to fit into van builds, shop shelving, and rolling PACKOUT setups without taking over the whole system. At 22.45 lbs empty, it is sturdy without being excessive for a modular drawer box in this category.
Compatibility is a major reason to buy this model. It is part of the PACKOUT Modular Storage System and offers modular connectivity with all PACKOUT components. For anyone already invested in Milwaukee storage, that means this 3-drawer unit can become the dedicated organizer in a larger setup. Use it for the tools and parts you reach for constantly, then stack larger boxes, organizers, or rolling bases around it as needed.
Who should buy it? Electricians, service techs, mechanics, maintenance crews, remodelers, and general contractors are the obvious fit. It is especially useful for anyone who carries a lot of smaller tools and parts and is tired of digging through one big open box. If your work depends on staying organized and moving quickly, the drawer format is the whole point.
Access Tools Without Unstacking
Drawer storage changes the workflow. Instead of pulling boxes apart to get one tool, you slide a drawer open and get back to work.
- Three-drawer layout keeps everyday tools and parts separated
- Locking security bar helps keep drawers shut during transport
Fits the Way You Organize
The included dividers let you lay out the drawer space around the gear you actually carry, which makes this box more useful than a one-size-fits-all organizer.
- Includes one set of Quick-Adjust Dividers
- Good for separating sockets, fasteners, electrical parts, and layout tools
Built to Live in a Van or Shop

Pro Tip
Use the top drawer for the tools or parts you grab several times a day and reserve the lower drawers for heavier gear. That keeps your workflow faster and makes the drawer layout easier to memorize once the box is loaded into a PACKOUT stack.
