DC129 Critique: Milwaukee Vertical Toolbox

Mike Velasco joins Tim Keirnan for a critique of the Milwaukee
13" Jobsite Work Box. This tool box is oriented vertically in
contrast with conventional tool box designs, which provides both
advantages and disadvantages. While Mike enjoys the design and
uses his tool box regularly, Tim has not been as impressed
despite the numerous positives of the product's design and
construction. This is why we do the show! Good designs of even
"simple" products like a tool box cannot always please every
user; people are so different.


As usual, we structure our critique around the following
points:
* Encounter
* Decision
* Purchase
* Initial Impression (out of the box)
* Longitudinal review


You can find the tool box at Milwaukee's site here:

Note that product photography usually involves very bright
lighting, and in this case Tim was not expecting the interior to
be as dark as  the product photos appeared. The photo on the
Design Critique blog page is not using a flash for a more
accurate representation of what a user sees when looking into the
box for tools along the bottom.
