Designed for workshops where reciprocating saw organization should be precise and protective
The M12 Hackzall Insert is made for tradespeople and workshops where you need to protect and organize your Milwaukee Hackzall and accessories inside a Packout system. Most tool storage solutions are either generic foam that compresses over time, or loose tools that shift and damage each other during transport. This insert is designed to remove that friction. It keeps a precision-cut compartment for the M12 Hackzall with dedicated slots for blades and battery, and it includes durable PETG construction that maintains its shape under workshop conditions.
The custom-cut design secures the Hackzall, blades, and battery in dedicated cavities that prevent movement during transport. The precision-fit design minimizes rattle and protects tools from impact and abrasion on site.
FREE BONUS: Receive a free tool box wall mount (valued at $15.99) with every liner purchased.
Why most tool storage falls short
Generic foam inserts compress over time and lose their protective shape. Tools shift during transport, causing damage to expensive equipment and reciprocating saw blades. Loose storage in toolboxes creates chaos when you need to find specific blades or accessories quickly. Foam also absorbs moisture and oil, creating a maintenance issue in workshop environments.
Plastic trays are rigid but rarely fit specific tools precisely. They waste space with oversized compartments and don't protect tools from impact during transport. Most trays also lack dedicated storage for reciprocating saw blades and batteries, forcing you to store accessories separately where they can be damaged or lost.
The M12 Hackzall Insert is designed to avoid those compromises. The PETG construction maintains its shape under workshop conditions without compressing like foam. The precision-cut compartments secure the Hackzall, blades, and battery in dedicated slots that prevent movement. The slide-in design fits into the Packout Compact Organizer without wasting space.

Custom-fit to Milwaukee Packout Compact Organizer (model 48-22-8435) internal layout.
Material & construction
Crafted from durable, high-strength PETG for workshop durability and dimensional stability. PETG is a thermoplastic that maintains its shape under workshop conditions, resists impact and abrasion, and does not compress like foam inserts. The material resists moisture and oil absorption, making it ideal for workshop environments where tools are exposed to fluids and debris.
The precision-cut compartments are designed specifically for M12 FUEL Hackzall (2520) and M12 Hackzall (2420), ensuring a secure fit that prevents movement during transport. The smooth finish provides an easy-to-clean surface for repeated use.

Design notes for Hackzall inserts
Hackzall inserts work best in workshops when they balance precision fit with practical storage. The custom-cut compartment secures the M12 Hackzall without excessive movement, protecting the tool during transport. The dedicated blade storage keeps reciprocating saw blades organized and accessible, reducing time spent searching for the right blade during demolition or cutting work.
The battery storage compartment ensures you always have spare power available on site. The impact-resistant construction protects tools from damage during transport and prevents rattle during transit.
Installation & compatibility
The insert slides directly into the Milwaukee Packout Compact Organizer (model 48-22-8435). No tools or assembly required. The design allows the Packout lid to close fully while tools are stored inside.
Ensure the Hackzall model matches the compatible models listed (2520-20/M12CHZ-0 or 2420-20/M12HZ-0) for proper fit. The insert is designed specifically for these M12 Hackzall models and may not fit other reciprocating saw models.
