Tool Belt's

[1shortcircuit]

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!

Not exactly user friendly then?

For a 6 day re-wire you'd probably have to allow an extra day for all the zipping and unzipping of the compartments:leaving:

Just got one of these old skool things for spanners and stuff like that

Cromwell Industrial Tools UK: Kennedy Industrial : 14" BARN TYPE TOOL BOX : KEN-593-2140K

Thinking of getting another for my everyday gear

If I took all the useless stuff and things I rarely use out of my tool kit, I'd probaly manage with a sandwich box.

I only really use 3 drivers - terminal, medium pozi and large philips. I have a plastic Stanley toolbox and keep them in the top tote; when I'm working they go in my right leg pocket for easy retrieval.

Thats the secret, I have an IRWIN tool tote thats quite small, just cleared out all the crap I don't really use, which goes in a large Stanley tool box in the van, and it's suprising how light the tool tote is now, but has enough tools for me to complete 95% of jobs.

I found the best way to slimline your tools is to empty the tool box totally and stick all the stuff in the van.

When you go to a job, domestic for example, go get the tools that you only want to use, then put them in yer tool box. After half a dozen jobs, the toolbox has only the tools i use 99% of the time and the rest are in the van incase i ever need them. Toolbox is now a lot lighter than before!

ive got a harness type toolbelt i bought in america .AWP i think it was branded
cost about 30 quid.
takes the strain of the waist a bit
but its that big i struggle to get through doors
95% of jobs can be completed with it while the rest is in the van.
gives the impression u know what your doing though!
