The Packout Problem Nobody Talks About
You spent good money on a Milwaukee Packout system. The drawers roll smooth, the latches click solid, and the whole thing stacks perfectly on your cart. It's a good system.
But open that drawer and what do you find? A pile of tools rattling around loose. Your M12 drill rolling into your impact driver. The charger cord tangled up with your die grinder. Every time you need something you're digging, shifting, and reorganizing just to find it.
The Packout system organizes your tools between job sites. It doesn't organize your tools inside the drawer. That's a different problem — and it's one that 10-Spot Tools was built to solve.
What 10-Spot Tools Actually Makes
10-Spot Tools makes precision 3D printed inserts that fit inside Milwaukee Packout drawers, organizer boxes, and Festool Systainer systems. Each insert is designed for a specific tool — not a generic tray you cut yourself, not a foam block you have to carve, not a universal holder that kind of fits if you squint.
A 10-Spot insert for your M12 drill fits your M12 drill. Full stop.
We just added their full catalog to Urban3D — 499 products covering Milwaukee M12 and M18 tools, DeWalt 20V tools, Makita 18V, Ridgid press kits, Dremel rotary tools, Festool sanders, Klein electrical kits, and more. If you run tools, there's an insert for what you carry.
The Four Types of Inserts You Should Know About
Drawer Inserts
These drop into your 2, 3, or 4-drawer Packout units and give each tool its own molded pocket. Pull the drawer, grab your tool, close it. No shifting, no searching. Popular options include the D4 Single Barrel collection — one insert per drawer slot, sized for a specific tool, stackable across your whole unit.
SideCar Inserts
One of the more clever products in the lineup. SideCar inserts slide into the side compartment of Packout organizer boxes — the narrow slot most people leave empty or stuff with random small parts. 10-Spot makes SideCar-specific inserts for M12 ratchets, die grinders, multi-tools, and more. It's extra capacity you already own but aren't using.
Battery Holders
M12 and M18 battery holders, racks, and wall mounts. Keep your batteries organized, visible, and charged. Wall mount versions keep them off your cart and on the wall where they're out of the way. Rack versions let you store multiple batteries in a single drawer slot without them rolling around or tippingover.
Who This Is For
Shop owners and mechanics — if you have a tool cart and a Packout on top of it, these inserts pay for themselves in time saved. Every minute you spend digging through a drawer is a minute you're not working on the car.
Van builders and mobile techs — organization matters more in a van than anywhere else. Space is tight, everything moves while you drive, and a loose tool in a Packout drawer becomes a rattling mess by the time you get to the job site. Inserts keep everything locked in place.
Serious hobbyists and fabricators — if you've invested in a real tool storage system, inserts are the last step that makes it actually work the way it's supposed to. Your Packout shouldn't look like a tool bin at a rental shop.
Systainer Users Aren't Left Out
10-Spot also makes inserts for Festool Systainer cases — the green modular storage system popular with finish carpenters, cabinet makers, and high-end shop builders. If you run Systainer cases for your Milwaukee M12 tools, they have drawer inserts and organizer inserts that fit the Systainer format and hold M12 tools exactly.
It's an unusual combination — Milwaukee tools in Festool cases — but it's common enough that 10-Spot built a full lineup for it.
The Jonah Pope Design Collab
About 65 products in the 10-Spot lineup carry the Jonah Pope Design label. Jonah Pope is a content creator and tool enthusiast who collaborated with 10-Spot to design inserts for specific tools and kits based on what his audience actually uses. If you've seen his content you'll recognize the naming convention — JP-SWASH2, JP-H29M, JP-D8250 — these are his designs, built around the exact tools he shoots with and recommends.
The collab inserts cover everything from M12 stubby impacts to Dremel 8220 rotary tools to Festool adapters. If you follow tool content online there's a good chance you'll recognize several of these.
Start Here
If you're new to Packout inserts and not sure where to start, here's the quickest path:
For your drill and impact driver: Look for the Packout Drawer Insert for M12 2nd Gen Fuel Drill and Impact Driver (MDD-DID D). Fits the M12 2nd Gen Fuel Drill and Impact Driver side by side in a single drawer. Most common tool combo in any Milwaukee kit.
For your batteries: The M18 Battery Holder starts at $8. Simple, specific, works. If you have loose batteries rolling around anywhere in your system this is the first problem to solve.
For your ratchets: The MRg2 series covers the new M12 ratchets. Drawer insert and organizer insert versions available depending on how you want to store them.
If you run a 4-drawer unit: The D4 Single Barrel collection is designed specifically for the 4-drawer Packout. One insert per slot, each sized for a different tool. Build it out one tool at a time or grab several at once.
