The deeper bottom drawer is separated into a bulk storage space and cordless tool organizer with space for for three drill/driver/impact style cordless tools.īoth of these new Milwaukee tool storage systems are impressive, but for those with limited work space, the Milwaukee 60-inch mobile work station (48-22-8560) will give you the same storage as a vertical tool chest, but with the added benefit of the table top.
