Tool Belt's

[AP Electrical]

What does everyone do for carrying there screwdrivers, I have mine in elastic straps inside my tool box- which is great on tidy up days, but crappy rest of time as they all fall out and I can never see ends so always pick wrong one up - which is starting to get old!!!!!!!!, I'm considering getting a tool case (looks like an estate agents attach case - unzip and both sides open up to reveal nce and tidy drivers) and a tool pouch/belt for when I'm hard at it, any thought's experiences?.

I've tried using a tool belt and to be honest for the work I do they cause more of a hindrance than anything else unless working from a ladder.

I have found that I am able to use a small open tote tool box (similar to this) which I am able to keep organised so that I can pick out the correct driver and see if there are any tools missing. There is also enough room to squeeze in my on-site guide, and reg's book.

I use something similar to the tote 1 shortcircuit uses. not bad and nice and small to take into someones house.

I've a bigger tote which ends up a right mess, half my problem is all my drivers look the same on top so when I pick them out it's always the wrong one - I must look like a bloody bingo caller constantly rumaging in my bag a pulling stuff out...

Found (this) looks like it would do the job, space for a few books as well maybe, at least could keep my
testing kit seperate.

get a sharpie pen a put a + or a - on top of the screwdrivers so you can tell even if there in your pocket

Supprised no ones mention the Veto pro pacs yet. Expensive but look good quality.

Got one of these for my 'nice' tool kit I keep at home, very good to keep organised, most tools fit in the two side pockets, keeping the middle free for regs or a tester, BUT, it is heavy, and the Technicians Tool Case Plus feels like it's already loaded with tools when it's empty!

i got a wee "Bum bag" thing from RS i think its Plano Big enough for selectrion of drivers pliers snips testlamps but not big enough for all the crud you throw in tool bag/box at end of day
