Service Bag recommendations

[RDB85]

I’m loving my new Magnusson Trolley. It’s great. I am now looking for a service bag that I can use, when doing maintenance and breakdowns. Would anyone be able to recommend one?

Any of the packout bags will clip onto the top.

Oh, wait... ?

As good as the Packout is. It’s not worth putting myself in debt. Once I get proper wages I will get one.

I agree with him I have never in my life seen the amount of debate and opinion people have over tools and stuff on here. Do any of you actually do any work?????

Tools is one thing - they make the job easier if they're decent.

This is a bleeding handbag for screwdrivers to go into.

I do have a recommendation though https://www.onbuy.com/gb/tool-bag-h...ool-case-tools-storage-case~c13125~p22001567/

Problem is i don't have a bed, spent the last 30 years deciding on what kind of headboard to get with it and just never pulled the trigger.?

That’s a bit of a poor comeback. Every time I’ve bought a bed it comes with a mattress and headboard. You may need to shop elsewhere. Good news is I’ve bought a bag. Delete thread please admins. ??

I have general electrical bag, testing bag, all-purpose bag, connectors and adaptable boxes bag, multi-tool and accessories bag, impact driver and accessories bag, drill/driver case, plumbing toolbox, woodworking toolbox, odds and ends toolbox, stacking boxes x 3 with everything else like ratchet crimpers,and all the ferrules etc that go with that...and that's before i start on specialist tools etc. My philosophy is buy what you need, not what fashion dictates. My toolboxes are the usual plastic ones, cheap to replace when they break, Tool bags are mainly Stanley FatMax, because they are cheap, fairly reliable, and cheap to replace if they get damaged. With special offers always available, it's easy to buy a replacement for little money. Thus...buy reasonable quality, replace as necessary, and don't spend £100s on fancy bags that look great but cost so much that you see it as an "investment". A tool bag is a tool...if it wears out, buy another! Just my opinion, obviously.

Horses for courses and all that. I don't particularly care if someone wants to drop £500 on a tool bag or if they want to use a Lidl carrier bag. I do agree there's only so much discussion to be had about them.

Edit: Buckets for the win.

Just yanking your chain mate, i know manbags are serious business but lighten up a bit.

Charlie Nicolas has called though he wants to hand over the baton and give you his 'worst banter ever' award.

When you say 'service' bag ? do you mean just for small tools like side cutters and a couple screwdrivers etc etc

I used to use one of these for small tools only

That is what I’m after. Just something that holds screwdrivers, cutters, a multimeter, a few other small bits.

Stanley Tote for about £23. Has My MFT in it as well

I hate lugging a heavy tool bag / box about , I am for ever taking items out my bag that I don't need to make it as light as possible

A small bag or small open tote is more than big enough for 99% of call outs

I used to have a great big stanley box with lump hammer , bolsters , drill bits all slung in it , but that now lives in the garage
