Why Milwaukee Packout is the Best PDR Tool Storage System
Why Milwaukee Packout is the Best PDR Tool Storage System
For Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) technicians who need a mobile setup, Milwaukee Packout offers an unbeatable tool storage solution. While working in a dedicated garage is ideal, it's not always an option when you need to perform PDR on the go at car dealerships or retail locations. That's where the Milwaukee Packout system shines. Known for its customizability and robust design, the Packout system is built for professionals who require both organization and mobility.

Customizable with Milwaukee Packout Accessories
A standout feature of the Milwaukee Packout toolbox is the vertical rail system on the sides of the toolboxes. These rails allow you to easily attach a wide range of Milwaukee Packout accessories, many of which are designed specifically for PDR applications. From universal items like paper towel holders and extension cord organizers to tools made just for PDR, the versatility of Packout makes it ideal for professionals in the field. (Note: For and instructional video on how to install tools on these rails, watch the youtube video here.)

PDR-Specific Milwaukee Packout Accessories
What really sets the Milwaukee Packout system apart for Paintless Dent Repair is the collection of accessories tailored for PDR work. While the Packout system itself is already a game-changer, these accessories make it even better—offering improved organization, efficiency, and workflow. While some accessories may require self-tapping screws for installation, securing them in place makes your setup more stable and organized.
Milwaukee Packout Umbrella Mount
One of the standout Milwaukee Packout accessories for PDR is the Umbrella Mount. This mount features two arms that attach securely to the side rails of the Packout toolboxes. It's a great solution for working in areas where PDR lights require shade, and it ensures that your equipment stays safe and protected from the elements. Please note that the umbrella should not be used in moderate or high winds, and always ensure your toolbox has enough weight inside to avoid tipping.
Milwaukee Packout Glue Gun Holder
Another must-have accessory is the Milwaukee Packout Glue Gun Holder, designed to securely hold your hot glue gun during glue pulls. This tool eliminates the hassle of placing your glue gun on the ground, and it ensures that your gun stays in place while you move your Packout boxes. The holder consists of two pieces: a mounting plate that attaches to the metal rail and a ring that holds the glue gun. When you're done, the holder easily disassembles for compact storage in your Packout drawers.

Milwaukee Packout PDR Tip Holder
For Paintless Dent Repair technicians, the PDR Tip Holder for Milwaukee Packout is a useful tool. It’s specifically made to fit perfectly inside the Packout tool box drawers, allowing you to store up to 20 PDR tips with no wasted space. The holder is removable and easy to access—just open the drawer, grab the tip you need, and store it back when you're done. The added convenience and organization are a huge time-saver during repairs. It is also easily removable from the drawers, so you can pull out the whole unit for easy access to your PDR tips.
