Summary: I love Milwaukee's Retro Aesthetic
Comment: "Wow... 'Me-Tal.'" - Bart Simpson

You just don't see stuff like this anymore (at least I haven't since I was a kid). I love mine and can't wait to put my 5.5 amp Magnum Hole Shooter in it. My fiancee digs it too and she could care less about the tools. Plenty of room in the top tray for additional hand tools, bits, and other accessories.

I knock one star off because I thought the foam protective material was glued somewhat carelessly and there were some scratches on the interior of mine that seemed avoidable. Don't get me wrong. I fully expect this thing to scratched up over time. I'm not one of those daft idiots who buys a Ford F150 and then refuses to actually move anything with it for fear of scuffing the paint or getting dirt on it, (full disclosure: I'm really more of a proud '2001 Civic EX owner but I still hate those guys), but I would prefer that the paint scuffs and scratches be my own. These were all on the interior though.

In any case, through this and other products, Milwaukee has converted me from a web developer with fixer-upper ambitions to a full-on, Tim-Allen parodied, tool nerd.

Equally cool, is the case for the Milwaukee carbide drill bits I got, but I won't review those until I've actually used them.

For all the time I've spent pissing on brand loyalists on the web, Milwaukee may have made a total hypocrite out of me. Oh well, at least I can be fairly certain none of my tools will be mediocre.

Now do I get the V28 combo kit a year before I really need it or do I just content myself with some completely gratuitous M12 toys and hold out for an M28 line that may or may not appear next fall? Or do I just buy a freakin' 15 amp super sawzall and put out an ad on Craigslist to come destroy !@#$ for people for the cost of new blades and high-risk emergency medical insurance?

Summary: Nice quality box fits "standard size" Milwaukee corded drills
Comment: This is a nice quality toolbox. Pretty much what one would expect from Milwaukee. It fits the "standard size" pistol-grip corded electric drils very well. In the bottom there is a padded yoke to hold the body of the drill and a pad to absorb shocks from the drill chuck. There is enough room for a driver to be left in the chuck of the Milwaukee Mangnum Drill 0233-20 (or one of the many similar models) when it is in the box.

The box does not fit the Milwaukee cordless drills well, (one would have to remove the battery) but my cordless models come with a form-fitted plastic box.

Fit and finish are nice. The finish seems to be both tougher and thicker than the finish on my Super Sawzall tool case.

There is room for a typical box of 1/16" to 1/2" dril bits in the bottom of the box with the drill, the extra hand grip (unattached), and the cord folded in.

The top tray is adequate for a collection of accessories, like driver bits, right-angle driver, and loose bits. It will not take any of the drill index boxes I own.

Summary: 2nds at Best!
Comment: This is the only Milwaukee product that I have ever purchased that was poorly made. I ordered 4 power tool carrying cases and all four came with very poor paint jobs. The only good thing that came out of this transaction was that the vendor quickly provided cost free return and credited my account. Unfortunately, the vendor was not able to provide top-quality replacements.

Summary: Proper Tool Box
Comment: I purchased a Milwaukee 1/2" magnum drill and it didn't come with a case when I bought it. I ordered this case, it came very quickly in perfect condition. It fits the tool just right and has room for bits and a center punch and hammer.
Milwaukee builds tools right!

Summary: Excellent steel tool case by Milwaukee
Comment: Milwaukee 48-55-0711 Steel Carrying Case

This case is 13.5" wide, 9.5" deep, and 6" high.

The tray is 12 3/4" wide, 8 3/4" deep, and 1.5" high. The tray's ends are bent downward into half-circles which rest on the top edge of the case sides to support the tray. This approach eliminates the need for separate tray supports in the case itself; a good idea as they would be in the way when the tray isn't used.

The top on my case closed off to one side just a bit. By twisting the open top counter-clockwise, I "bent" the metal so that it now closes uniformly.

There is a "saddle" spot-welded to the bottom of the case, to hold a drill in place. (See Customer Images.) Since I wanted a small tool box with a tray, but not a drill case, that saddle is in the way. I might drill out the 3 spot-welds and just remove it. (The nearly identical Milwaukee 48-55-0885 Carrying Case has no tool cradle welded into the case; but it doesn't include a tray.)

The case is well made, sturdy, and attractive. It's 100% steel, with a steel latch. The red paint is nicely done. All of this case can be used for storage -- for a specific tool and accessories, or, as a stand-alone tool box.
