Pros

  • The magnet is exceptionally strong and reliably holds small fasteners securely in place
  • Compatible with Milwaukee's PACKOUT system via grooved bottom design, snapping securely into the larger ecosystem
  • Exceptional quality and finish consistent with Milwaukee's product line
  • Highly useful for organizing and storing screws during disassembly and preventing loss
  • Particularly effective for automotive repairs, undeood projects, and HVAC work where small parts easily get lost
  • Compact size makes it convenient for storing nuts, bolts, and screws while working

Cons

  • Standard size may be limiting—users have expressed interest in a larger size option for bigger projects
  • Magnet strength, while excellent for metal surfaces, is insufficient for reliable adhesion to noerrous surfaces like refrigerators
  • May not hold securely on vertical surfaces despite the strong magnet

Bottom Line

The MILWAUKEE PACKOUT Magnetic Bin is a well-built, reliable organizer that truly shines for anyone working with small metal fasteners—especially mechanics and HVAC technicians who need to keep screws from disappearing. The magnet is genuinely strong and the PACKOUT compatibility makes it a solid addition to an existing Milwaukee system. Just keep in mind it's designed for work surfaces and ferrous metal, so don't expect it to stick to your fridge or hold items reliably if mounted vertically.
