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!

Other than the amo cases I used a plumber bass. Just keep piling the heavy stuff in it until you can't lift it, time for a clear out then.

Never did work out why I carted 3 X 12" shifters around!

I've got 4 tool boxes and two chests, didn't cost a penny!

Ive recently picked up a veto pro pac xxl-f I wish I had picked one up sooner, I need to take some gear out though as it is full

They are top quality, I have the open top version of this, I might get a smaller one too as its quite heavy when full, keeps everything in perfect order though!

These Veto Pro Pac bags look really nice, but a bit pricey - cheapest seem to be around £180 on eBay, more than I'd want to spend.

I got mine 170 in store, the guy on counter had seen the price and knocked it down for me

Up until I retired I used two ammunition cases for my hand tools. They’ve been dropped every way you could think of. Great to sit on when working in the bottom of marshalling panels. The best bit, they put the fear of god up people!
I didn't get much hassle.


Mine are stencilled.

I have never managed to find any bag or box I like, I have had them all, I tend to have a plastic crate now on the van with all my hand kit in and a different plastic crate on there for kit which is not used every day, it is a decent carry box for me, but again not great. One day someone will invent something which will make them millions, I have yet to think of an idea though and think all tool bags and cantalever boxes stink :dita:

Reminds me I used to use the Royal Mail cartons tough stuff to be fair . Until one day ..
When I was half way through unloading in a quarry a lory driver needed to get by and I was obstructing the rout so I moved and I drove over it , gave my comrades a chuckle .
Royal Mail carton good van tidy they stack well and quite! Durable. .... Within reason ov course .
Get friendly with a postie and free tool boxes for life

 

[telectrix]

bread trays. can't beat them. stackable as well.

 

[Aindowsimon]

As a van tidy defo quite big for toys though tel
