Hey everyone! I recently picked up an 18V oscillator tool, but it didn't come with a storage bag or case. I've been doing some research and found a Milwaukee PACKOUT organizer that looks promising. I'm curious about how you all store your tools—do you use the included dividers in the PACKOUT, or did you go for a more custom setup? I don't have access to a 3D printer, so something pre-made on Amazon would be ideal. Any suggestions?

Yep, it's called a PACKOUT! They're pretty versatile and can handle different setups based on what you have. But if you're looking for something more specialized, foam inserts can work great too. Brands like Kaizen offer custom-cut inserts that you can shape to fit your tools perfectly!
There are quite a few small-scale companies making custom storage solutions that might fit your needs. Some of them even offer trays that fit neatly inside the PACKOUT, specifically designed for individual tools. Check out this link to see if the M18 oscillating tool is included: dennissmallboneprints.com.
I've been using the PACKOUT 5-Compartment Small Parts Organizer for my tools, and it works awesome! It can hold a battery, a tray for blades, and even fits my M18 barrel grip jigsaw perfectly. I don’t even use foam inserts with it—it keeps everything organized just fine.
If you can’t find a specific custom tray, sometimes just buying a generic foam insert and cutting it to shape works. It can take a bit more effort, but it’s often cheaper and gives you flexibility!
Thanks for the tips! I’ll check out those foam inserts.
