which toolbag?

[shanky887614]

havent really got time to go and have a look.

what hard base ones would you guys recomend looking to spend under £50 but will spend more if it will last.

the stanley ive got now has not lasted at all and is starting to fall apart plus im having to completely empty it to try to find the tool i need as well

had a look at this but it seems too chea

I've got this as I don't need many tools as I'm doing static maintenance and I get the bus to site, so its ideal for me. But I wouldn't recommend it for anything heavy duty it is quite flimsy and I don't think it will take much weight.

 

[shanky887614]

thanks, dont have a clue what ill be doing from one day to the next. some days domestic others comericial but most are industrial so i tend to carry a lot of tools with me all the time

Then I'd steer clear of this then, it serves a purpose and for that's a hold all, its strong enough for few tools, 2 10.8v's, lunch box and bottle of pop and that's fine for me. But I won't be using it for other work I'll stick to my dewalt tote

Maybe it will be ok for you then if you don't carry loads, however the big downfall is when you put tools in the pockets on sides, because of the weight they pull the sides of the bag in so be wary of that, I got mine 21quid delivered from FFX

ck magma tote is not bad you can use it as a cable reel holder too.

HAMMERS help sometimes.

 

[shanky887614]

has the ck magma tote got a lid?

where is a good place to buy it from?

or should i ask local wholesalers to price it up (company orders a lot of stuff from them so good discounts)

i missed load of tools off e.g. hammer,set square,socket tester,volt stick etc

^^^Not cheap, but pretty bomb proof like most Snickers stuff

Try ffx tools. They're well priced. If youre changing tools to suit the job and have a heavy load, how about some thing with wheels? Stanly do a backpack with wheel, also 18 inch tool bag with wheels. I operate in similar sectors. Chopping and changing. I used van and motorbike. Check out the link. http://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/3253561792151%20stanley%201-79-215%20fatmax%20backpack%20tool%20bag%20on%20wheels%20wheeled

looks nice that stanley backpack, especially when going london jobs on public transport, snickers one looks too small wont hold more than cutters and screwdrivers.

 

[hopkins85]

I have treated my self to a load of ststainers with added wheels. Really happy.

Ha yes that is true, I've got one of the British gas/bt blue tool boxes had it a few years takes some stick

I've had this bag for about a year and have to say its one of the best I've had, load of space , durable and a trap door for any tools you may have forgotten to pack away, abit pricey but worth it

i have this and love it, i got it for when i work in london and get the train, used to have a ck one but this is much bigger and stronger

i think its the same as the wheel one, just without wheels

 

[shanky887614]

picked up the ck tool roll

km quite impressed actually. its got enough space for most screwdrivers, crimpers etc.

will make like a lot easier

(will get a bigger bag later to use as well but this in the top of bag is perfect, no more emptying toolbag to find a screwdriver that has sunk to the bottom)
