The Ultimate Tire Packout Kit for Rural Travel: My Milwaukee Build That Saves Time, Money & Headaches

If you drive rural Montana and North Dakota roads regularly, you already know the drill: long distances, spotty cell service, unpredictable weather, and plenty of things waiting to puncture a tire.

It’s just part of life out here.

After one too many flats in the middle of nowhere, I finally built something I should’ve done years ago:

👉 A complete tire repair and tire-change kit housed inside one Milwaukee Packout.

It’s organized, durable, fast to deploy, and honestly a must-have for anyone who travels rural roads.

🔧 What’s Inside the Tire Packout Kit?

Everything fits cleanly into the Milwaukee Packout Large Toolbox with customizable foam inserts. No loose tools. No digging. No chaos.

The kit includes:

• Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2” High Torque Impact Wrench

  • Breaks loose stubborn lug nuts like a champ.

• Milwaukee M18 Inflator

  • Small, powerful, and perfect for final airing after a patch or spare install.

• Milwaukee M18 Batteries (6.0Ah & 5.0Ah)

  • Reliable power when you’re 40 miles from the nearest shop.

• Milwaukee Rapid Charger

  • Lives in the kit so everything always has a home base.

• Shockwave Deep SAE Socket Set

  • Covers common pickup, trailer, and ag equipment lug sizes.

• Tire Plug / Patch Kit

  • For nails, bolts, screws, and mysterious field debris.

• Customizable Foam Inserts

  • Keeps everything locked in, even on rough gravel roads.

🤠 Why This Kit Matters — Especially in Rural Areas

Out here, a flat tire isn’t a quick inconvenience. It’s a time-sucking detour that can derail your entire day.

This kit solves that.

Whether you’re:

✔ a supervisor jumping between job sites

✔ a rancher or farmer checking fields

✔ an oilfield driver way off the beaten path

✔ a parent hauling kids across long stretches of highway

✔ or simply someone who doesn’t want to rely on tow trucks

…this Packout lets you handle tire issues on your own terms.

And let’s be real — in rural America, self-sufficiency is not a luxury. It’s survival.

💰 Cost Breakdown (Under $800!)

The entire kit — impact, inflator, batteries, charger, sockets, foam inserts, and the Packout box — came in under $800.

One roadside repair prevents a tow bill.

Two repairs? You’ve already paid for the whole kit.

🧭 Final Thoughts

This Tire Packout Kit rides with me everywhere now, and it has already saved me time, frustration, and a generous helping of swear words.

It’s built tough, stays organized, and gives you everything you need to get rolling again — fast and safely.

If you want a reliable, no-nonsense roadside solution for rural travel, this kit is absolutely worth building.
