What about a case on wheels? Had mine for 7 years and it's still going strong.

I use a roll along Peli case, extendable handle like a flight case, just been to Paris with it on a job and went via Eurostar and metro performed great and it's totally waterproof and can be put straight into hold luggage if need be.

I don't think a wheel along tool case will work, I do a lot of walking off-road to remote pump installations etc.

I use this one and have found it very good.....View attachment 23628

I don't think a 'tote' type bag will work either, my laptop and testers will be bouncing around with my handtools.

GT Line New Mega Wheels PEL Technicians Tool Case from Tool Venture

WOW £239.95!!!! If I win the lottery it might be an option. Until then unfortunately not I'm afraid.

go for the magma. it's similar in storage to what you already have but a bit better build.

The best tool case I have had was one from RS, gas struts and a great bottom tray etc. Decided to invest in a GT Line Atomik wheels 215 PSS due to the wheels and larger storage... It ended up carrying less due to poor storage design. Build quality was crap in comparison and went through 2 in 12 months! Just bought the CK Magma plus bag due to less installation, more commissioning work but it actually carries more and in a more organised way! Will have to see how it copes with day to day use now!

I bought a fatmax tote a couple of months ago and for the money I'm impressed.
Ok, it's not going to last me a lifetime, but for £30 I'd happily buy a new one every couple of years.
im sure it wouldn't stand too much site work full of drill bits, lump hammers and bolsters... But I only want it for my basic hand tools carrying in and out of customers houses..

with the magma. it's great if you use the centre compartment for lappy and paperwork, bit if you load it up with hand tools, you end up emptying it out to find what you want.

I tend to use the centre compartment for multicompartment boxes of cable markers, ferrules etc., helps stop the lids getting broken. I hate having to dig out thousands of loose cable markers and sort into a new box!

Funny you should mention this as I was going to ask on the forum but I too use the magma bag as a service engineer its ideal and I am looking for a multi compartment box to go in the centre compartment to hold connectors, fuses, resistors etc.. What do you use or recommend?

Thanks
