Milwaukee has added two First Aid kits to their line of Packout tool storage and organizational products.
There will be a 204pc Class B Type III kit, packed within a full-width organizer, and a 76pc Class A Type III kit that’s packed inside a half-width organizer,
The new Milwaukee Packout First Aid kits look to feature all of the same properties as their standard Packout organizer products.
The First Aid kits have impact-resistant cases with IP65-rated weather seals, no-travel bin seals to keep contents from shifting during transport, heavy duty latches, and reinforced hinges. They are also bundled with wall hangers for convenient mounting, and retroreflective stickers for easy identification.
The new Packout First Aid kits are certified to ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2015 Standards. This means:
ANSI/ISEA Z309.1-2015 refers to the “minimum requirements for workplace first-aid kits.” The standard breaks into two parts: Class (contents in kit) and Type (kit container). A certified kit can be either Class A, for smaller crews and general hazards, or Class B, for larger crews and higher risk environments. There are four Types (I,II,III,IV), which refer to the outdoor/indoor use, portability, mobility, and water resistance of the kit container. All PACKOUT
First Aid Kits are rated to Type III because they are wall mountable, portable, water resistant, and acceptable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The larger First Aid kit comes with all the kinds of things you would expect – bandages, antibiotic ointment, burn cream, BZK antiseptic towelettes (they’re like alcohol pads but with much less sting), and also some products aimed at construction and jobsite environments, such as a tourniquet, trauma pad, eyewash, oval eye pads, and CPR face shield.
The Packout organizer is the same red color as other like-sized products, with stickers or decals helping users identify it from different directions.
The products are stored in typical removable Milwaukee organizer cups, and there looks to be a little space left over for adding to the kit if needed.
It’s portable, with a convenient folding top handle.
And as with other Packout products, the large First Aid kit can be connected anywhere in a tool box stack. It can also be used with other Packout shelves and mounting accessories.
The kits both come with screw-in wall mount, for mounting the kits by their folding handles.
There will also be a smaller 76 pc First Aid kit.
The 76pc kit has a most of the same items as the larger kit, just fewer quantities.
From what I can tell, this smaller set is only missing two types of products that are included with the larger 204pc set – the padded rolled splint and tourniquet.
The organization is the same here – standard Milwaukee Packout organizer cups that can be removed, added to, and refilled with ease.
The smaller kit comes with the same wall-mountable hook.
Price: $70 for the 76pc kit, $130 for the 204pc kit
Launch Date: June 2021

Discussion
These kits are presumably aimed at larger teams or users who need a ready-to-go First Aid kit, and especially if they need one that conforms to ANSI or ISEA standards.
Some of you might be saying “but I can built my own Milwaukee Packout First Aid kit for less. You can get a Milwaukee Packout compact organizer for $30 (via Tool Nut) or full-width organizer for $45 (via Tool Nut), and equip them as needed.
If you want to build your own individual kit, you could perhaps use these recommendations as a template. But if you need a one-SKU kit for personal or jobsite needs, these look to have well thought-out selections.
Is there anything you would add to these kits for your own use or needs?
