The quest for the perfect tool bag!

[keniff]

So what do you guys use? I've been through a hell of a lot of tool bags from veto to ck to dewalt can't seem to find one that holds all I need and be durable! I mainly do domestic works but seems a struggle to organise my gear!

I still use a toolbox. Am I behind the trends or something ?
Although a toolbag would stop the odd rummaging session, I would miss the step-up, lunch seat, cutting bench, dust and water protection for tools that a box provides.

CK magma for most light tools. stanley tote for the heavier stuff like hammers, chisels, wrecker bar. tool belt for drivers, cutters, fluke T3 and |T5-1000, strippers etc., stanley rolling toolbox for drills etc.

 

[uksparks]

the Stanley Fatmax tote is quite good, it takes a bashing, carries my first fix kit, hammers, chisels, the heavier end of things. Just heavy when fully loaded.

And the tool I need right now is? Oh, yes, the one I keep in my other bag ... which is in the van. On a bad day, when brain not really in gear, I wear a trail to the van and back. Now, which of my fifty pockets did I last put my keys ....

That's a great bag, but I personally like more pockets on it.

[uksparks]

They are not all screwdrivers, some are hex and some are Allen key ends

With my job i move around a lot and there's two bags i use this TECHNICIAN'S RUCKSACK : C.K Magma to keep things organised, had it a couple of months no complaints. And a small army surplus bag, waterproof, small enough to talk up ladders etc it takes a meter, screwdrivers, wrenchs,spanners, allen keys etc and they're pretty much indestructible best of all it was only a fiver ,great value, below is a close match

Boss and myself both have one of these. Good size for all hand tools for domestic sparky in Scotland (no big bolster chisels and lump hammers!). I've had mine about a year now, still going strong. Only problem is it's a bit like a bucket so I seem to collect some random articles - drill bits, breakers and board blanks, etc. along the way which make it heavier!

 

[keniff]

i do like the veto but i cant pay that again, had them and felt ripped of somehow!

Uksparks , good kit! You can't need al that from day to day , all looks brand new ,no hacksaw I must be the opposite to you don't like tools that look brand new as its like almost a shame to work and get them dirty , one thing I will say is that you need a tidy tool bag/box or whatever that certainly makes working more comfortable I fined searching for tools witch I end up doing often is frustrating , looks a really good bag to but worth 180 squids Steep ! For that I'd wana be able to tax it and MOT it

Resu I have the same , good bag a couple lads in work have them mine by far the heavyset and mine is only strap/handle witch hasn't broken tho buckle strength probably an issue with them

I know where you are coming from but I just put it down to, "I've spent it now, lets move on.." But I am impressed with it.

those fatmax little tote tub things are rather cool, I have seen them in homebase.

 

[Andy78]

Never having owned a toolbag/tote I just looked up Veto pro pac.
£250 !?! lol you're having a giraffe !!
If the missus came home with a handbag that cost that much you'd shake your head in disbelief.

You've made it feel inadequate now

There is a 5 year warranty on them. So surely they would have looked at it for you at least
