I definitely wouldn't want the case for everything. Slender stuff like a 3/8" ratchet, or relatively compact stuff like a stubby impact would go just fine in my toolbox.
I'm mainly thinking saws. I have a plastic tote full of saws...circular saw, sawzall, jigsaw, various types of hand saws. The first time I need something at the bottom of the stack, it's a disaster and I end up hating to even open it up because I have to be slow and careful to not jam my hand into an exposed blade, until I devote the time to empty the whole thing out and repack it.
I think the tools like the ratchet and stubby come in soft side cases, my circular saw came in a contractor style bag. 1/2" rattle-cannon impact came in a hard case.
I will give Milwaukee credit for choosing a decently matched bag or case for the tool in the kit.
Now maybe it's been discussed here before, but why are the M12-only chargers still a thing?!?!
Buy an M18 kit? Get a charger that is dual purpose, but the M12 is this ridiculously sized M12-only thing. I'd love to see a tiny M12 charger, or just make the one basic M18/M12 charger for all kits. (There is a USB powered M12 charger in their lineup)
