What happens here

John showcases the custom-built wooden shelving installed on one side of the van. This shelving unit is specifically designed to house multiple Milwaukee Packout containers, which are red and black modular toolboxes. Each slot precisely fits a Packout box. John demonstrates how these containers are used to store various small items and consumables: one holds drills, another for general hardware, one for spray tips, another for brushes, personal protection equipment (PPE) in a dedicated box, and sandpaper. He also points out the upper shelf space used for larger power tools.

Goal: Implement a modular storage system for small tools and supplies.
