Any of the packout bags will clip onto the top.
Oh, wait... ?
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.
It’s okay I’ve bought the Magnusson now.
I have seen this on eBay:

Bleeding hell son it's just a bag, pick one you like the look of.
Someone needs a early night. Past your bedtime is it.
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.

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

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.

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

I have the same one, it's brilliant.
The Stanley looks very good. I’ve seen these two by Facom. Which look very good for the money:

I am fully aware that it’s a bag to carry tools in. But there is no harm in getting feedback, good or bad as there is a vast number of sparks on here that may have used one of those bags at some point in their career. They may even be able to give you some advice on it. As there is nothing worse than buying something and it’s ?

I recently picked up a Keter hard tool case to use as my day to day service box for call-outs , it is now full of hole saws and arbors and junk
time for me to get a another new service bag

Amazing value for money .I use a smaller version on a belt to carry what I am actually using on a job. So in some cases I am only needing 4-5 tools and some earth sheaf . So no need to transport my stanley bucket around .BUT ..... have you seen the prices in the US for this company... its super amazing cheap theretoughbuilt pouch for all small hand tools. handles most needs for calo-outs.

I have a Toughbuillt Pouch that I won. I don’t really need it so I would give it to an apprentice or someone on here. It does look a good buy.
I’ve seen this online. Seller wants £50

Horses for courses, but I can't see why I'd offer more than a fiver for that!
I started with a bucket. I then upgraded to a 2nd bucket a different colour.
I now have one Stanley FatMax, one Lidl foldout toolbox (that has lasted 12 years and counting) and my trusty old buckets.
The rest goes in tidy boxes and a small fold-out trolley and some bungees transport it.
The modern fashion of having designer toolboxes is rather lost on me I'm afraid!
I know what you mean. £130 brand new for that bag. It looks as though it’s been battered. I think I will go with the Facom Maintenance Bag as I can fit what I need on it and also manuals and paperwork.
Make a cheeky offer. Give it a good wash and dry and it will be fine

It was lost on me as well, until I started trailing tools in and out of different vehicles and across significant distances in getting to sites. There's certainly a significant element of ----ing contest involving tools and storage, but some of the new stuff is well made and ticks many boxes where pragmatism is concerned.
I asked myself 3 questions before buying a set of boxes with wheels:
1. Does it do what I need it to?
2. Is it robust enough to last a decent amount of time?
3. Is it worth the money? (I find this particularly tough when sums greater than £10 are involved).
What would you offer out of curiosity.
Have you one to sell? It is battered tbh, just thought I would get some opinions on it.

There is certainly some wisdom in that! Thanks.
Don't buy it. It's a battered old tool bag. My honest offer to them would be 10 quid, and if they accepted I still wouldn't be sure if I actually wanted it. Plenty of good ones available for less than that new
£35. washed up it will be ok..And you dont have to worry about keeping a new bag all "New"

I have had some many bags and boxes and totes over the years from 5 quid plastic tote to 50 quid ck bags and they all do the same job and inevitably they all end up filled up with junk and screws
my favourite things I had as a dewalt leather pouch and heavy belt which i used on site , but it got nicked from site when i put it down to nip to the shops
