I’ve been watching this for the past 3 minutes and still don’t understand what he did,.. like everyone is saying just remove the 2 screws the clips aren’t doing much, my head hurts
If you remove the two screws, it won't hold the handle in place. So you can unscrew the screws every time you need to remove the handle but then you have to put them back when you want to use the handle. This mod will allow you to just use the clips and easily remove the handle to fit the box in the back of your truck. Typically, people that have a truck cover can't fit it with the handle. Hope that helps.
He has drilled through the box send outer tube of the handle. The clips will pin the handle and box together so the whole handle assembly won't pull out when pulling the box along . I had to watch a few times too
I bought an $1800 cover for my truck bed. The way it works out is every time you have it on you wish it was off. Next time it’s off and you wish it it was back on. Ultimately you sell to someone else for $200.
@@miahzzeebest701 wheels stick out and it doesntly lay completely flat most of the time unless you get real lucky. Plus laying it like that consumes a lot of truck bed or van space, if you get rid of that big ass frustrating bar it can fit into more places and lay at a couple different angles, making it more versatile qnd easier to pack.
For those confused, he removed the screws and replaced them with the clips. Now when he wants to remove the handle, he just unclips instead of having to take out the screws every time.
To make it clear, he drilled all the way through into the handle aswel as the outer plastic, so the clips go through the plastic and the handle inside, that is how the clips are holding the handle. Great idea 👍
Yea but stuff sticking up or out of the bed not too much of a hazard in a case like this but go ahead and leave your truck in a parking lot with that handle sticking up I’ll bet you it won’t be there long

@@realspartangaming4517 actually it does.. out of sight out of mind is real.. i know for a fact I'm rolling around 10k with of tools in my little S10 in a city like Miami. Know one even looks twice at it, they go for typical work vans and trucks with no cover
It's a no banner boys when he drills the holes it's going through the bottom handle . If u didn't take the screws out the handle wouldn't come out watch when he pulls the handle out there's two sets of holes great job dude
Not to be that person, but why not either lug it somewhere else on your truck, or get a tool box that can fit with the cover? Or just not have one? Another is custom foam inserts so you could lay it down? Idk, it's just the way I think.
I get it now. The handle already has holes in it in the spot where he is putting the clips. Idk why that hole is already there, but it is. So the clips keep the handle from sliding out when you are using the handle. Took me a while to figure that out then I noticed a hole in that spot when I looked really closely at the handles. Edit: Upon further inspection, when he says lift up the handle he only means the sliding part. He does drill through the handle but not the sliding part. This all makes sense now.
Used to use a pickup for work. Did allot of work with it. Most impractical vehicle ever. I still own it but since i bought a van its only used on the weekends
I get it. The screws hold the bottom part of the telescopic handle to the box whereas the clips are supposed to clip the bottom part of the handle to the shell when the handle is attached. You remove the clips which makes the entire handle removable.
The clips are there so you don't spend 30 minutes lining up the holes on your packout. This took about 5 minutes of thinking and no one in comments said it so there you go.
Wouldn’t those clips be ripped off taking the Packout up or down stairs? Most times it is so heavy I bump it down the stairs and would rip those clips right off.
I can tell you you can just lay it down, I drive a Tacoma access cab, I literally have the exact same packout and believe it or not DeWalt tools... but yes, laying it down works and the tanno cover folds right over them
Tac weld a thumb nut on the end of the screw I’ve seen it when working in a bank the electrician had all of his tools in packout organized and neat. Made me wonder if he actually uses all of it 😂
Great fix but I will say this. When you put the handle back in it’s going to be a pain to line up that hole. Instead take out the screws, remove handle, put a screw in permanently where the screws came out of. Now when you put the handle back in it will sit on those screws. Then you can do what you did and never worry about having to align the holes.
If you look closely when he pulls out the handle he did in fact drill through the post but what he did was remove the 2 screws holding said handle in place so the handle could be removed the metal clips or whatever he used that was to throw you off
I have those same drill bits. And I can say with utmost certainty. They are amazing and make me proud to be an American. What an amazing set of bits that are made in the USA
@@MasterDreadnought89 I was thinking the same thing, most tradesmen have a metal chest in the back and still able to have room in their bed for supply’s and tools, I love seeing people fall for these clean manicured hands and brand new trucks with bed liners that haven’t seen dirt before yuppies that think there hard core blue collar workings for changing a light switch cover, my father in law is just like that.

So the clips keep the handle from sliding out when you are using the handle. Took me a while to figure that out then I noticed a hole in that spot when I looked really closely at the handles.
I believe he drilled the hole and put the clips there so when he goes to put the Handel back on he can line it up with the clips and screw the screw back in with it properly aligned.
So here's what is best, sometimes, finding off brands work better. Walmart sells a line called HART. They too make a similar product. Of stackable and lockable tool and part containers with wheeled base. However, their handle collapses enough to fit in the truck.
He’s not explaining when he drills the 1/4” hole, he is actually drilled through the outside most handle inside the sleeve for the handles (the inner handle slides into the outer handle, hence why he said take it out) The clip just holds the outer most handle through the drilled holes. This way you don’t need to unscrew the screws each time you want to remove the handle, you just unlatch the clip!
I'm the biggest Milwaukee fan there is...and of course it takes a 'Dewalt' owner (brain trust) to try and start thinking. #1- First thing he needs to do is remember he owns a truck and pull back his bed cover (unless he is embarrassed around his 'Dewalt' clan to ride around with superior Milwaukee products 😮) #2- He is proving that he is a contradiction of everything...he is using Dewalt machines on Milwaukee products, he has time to film going to Ace Hardware to get product (clips) but not enough to clearly state how the telescoping handle works so that when raised all the way up, you would only be drilling through the plastic of the box and only one layer of the square tubing bottom of the handle, and that the clips are to replace the screws altogether, and now you can remove the handle completely to fit packout base under bed cover, while placing clips onto back of case, so as to keep them with the case. NOW HOW HARD WAS THAT CHUMP. Buy the right drill!
I think hes drilling through the bottom of the handle and the clips are for keeping the handle functional in place with out the screws and being able to remove them and the handle.
He did screw threw the handle but the lower part of the handle not the top part and the clips actually go inside that hole. So basically now it’s a detachable handle
I was asking the same thing it's because he drilled through the handle and the crate so when he puts the handle back in he uses the clips to hold it in and doesn't have to ever use the screws again
He made the holes in the handle as well so the clips are holding on to the handle when the screws aren’t on it’s pretty much a replacement of the screws so He don’t have to screw it on and un screw it every time he can just use the clips
Dewalt drill, spyder drill bit, but Milwaukee pack out u know when they got like 10 different brands it’s gonna be a sturdy build those spyder dril bits are what’s up for the. Price
I had the rigid system too till the latches on the sides get worn and they decide to unlatch on their own while your wheeling them across the street. Still a decent tool box though.
The comment section here is eye opening 👀 how do people not understand what he did???? Please don't reproduce folks. I'm pretty sure my 2 year old understood the video....

no idea why he didnt use an actual D pin
Why not just replace the screws with something with a wing nut / thumb turn?
Because that would be smart
I was thinking the same thing
Because the screw holds the handle so he wouldnt be able to pop it out but idk why the hooks neither coulve done it without ngl
@@crisscross3422 how do you suppose the Handle stays in while pulling on it if he removes both the screws and the clips at the same time ?

How
The dewalt toolbox had red clips at the bottom that u can push in to remove the handles
