Designed for workshops where heat gun organization should be precise and protective
The M18 Heat Gun Insert is made for tradespeople and workshops where you need to protect and organize your Milwaukee heat gun 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-fit slot for the M18 Heat Gun with dedicated storage for nozzles and batteries, and it includes durable PETG construction that maintains its shape under workshop conditions.
The custom-formed design secures the heat gun, nozzles, and spare batteries in dedicated cavities that prevent movement during transport. The low-profile layout preserves usable tray space while keeping accessories organized and accessible.
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 delicate heat gun nozzles. Loose storage in toolboxes creates chaos when you need to find specific nozzles 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 heat gun nozzles and batteries, forcing you to store accessories separately where they can be damaged or lost.
The M18 Heat Gun Insert is designed to avoid those compromises. The PETG construction maintains its shape under workshop conditions without compressing like foam. The precision-cut cavities secure the heat gun, nozzles, and batteries in dedicated compartments that prevent movement. The low-profile design slides into the Packout Compact Organizer without wasting vertical space.

Custom-fit to Milwaukee Packout Compact Organizer (model 48-22-8435) internal layout.
Material & construction
Crafted from durable 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 cavities are designed specifically for the M18 Heat Gun, ensuring a secure fit that prevents movement during transport. The reinforced walls protect the tool during transport and on-site use. The low-profile layout maximizes storage efficiency inside the Packout Compact Organizer.

Design notes for heat gun inserts
Heat gun inserts work best in workshops when they balance precision fit with practical storage. The custom-formed slot secures the M18 Heat Gun without excessive movement, protecting the tool during transport. The dedicated nozzle storage keeps attachments organized and accessible, reducing time spent searching for the right nozzle during work.
The battery storage compartments ensure you always have spare power available on site. The reinforced walls protect the heat gun from impact during transport, preventing damage to expensive equipment.
Installation & compatibility
The insert slides directly into the Milwaukee Packout Compact Organizer (model 48-22-8435). No tools or assembly required. The low-profile design allows the Packout lid to close fully while tools are stored inside.
Ensure the heat gun model matches the compatible models listed (2688-20 USA / M18BHG-0 AUS) for proper fit. The insert is designed specifically for the M18 Heat Gun and may not fit other heat gun models.
