Tool Bag / Tool Box Options - What Do You Have

[MrHappy]

All my live working stuff is that French made orange covered brand who's name I forget.

orangina,

 

Nah just checked its "La Corona"

[bm99]

I've had a couple of Plano cases, great for service work

 

Still have this CK one, excellent but get's heavy..

 

Side-cutters I use Knippex and Bhaco, (I have some small'ish Knippex ones I've had nearly 20 years) 

 

Damn and here i am with the measley 1 tool box

 

Need to step my game up, then again you have to have 2 sets of screwdrivers and everything right? 

Was a bit sceptical at first but i use screwfixes own brand tool bag. Quality pretty good tbh

forge tool

well ive still got my forge steel side cutters and use them whenever i need to if i dont worry about forgetting about them i.e. building sites etc.

 

 

I never seem to be happy with my set up.

 

I've been using a fat max pouch for a few years with a belt for slinging it over my shoulder, fits most of what i need for call outs and most of the hand tools i need on installs.  But i'm thinking of moving to some kind of box arrangement with some organisation for holding a small selection of fixings and resistors etc.  Maybe something like a Raaco box with the draws in the bottom.

 

Everyone seems to have bags nowadays, i would like to move to a box but i don't want to be the odd one out

 

I can put stickers on a box though!

 

loll, you can also put stickers on a bag mate, im the opposite i think i already am the odd one out with still keeping a box

 

Nah just checked its "La Corona"

 

with the abv on the right corner

 

 

Sort of already deicded, on bahco cutters but still debating the bag - not a small decision

 

Like totoro had said maybe something with a small slot for resistors and fuses, then again my toolbox has already got that lol

Hey all, so the toolbox is looking a bit worse for wear so trying to see what to get as a good replacement

 

really thinking about getting a toolbag as its a lot easier to carry around so what are you lot using

 

Also same issue with the cutters, any good ones you've been using - thinking about the new bahco 160m side cutters

 

all

 

Draper expert 660 coz its got the storage bits on top, thats for install, got a tarty GPO bag for faults/servicing/lookin cool, then a bright yellow machine mart tool case for networking/fibre/telecoms stuff.

CK cutters in draper box, Knipex in Yellow box and GPO mini cutters in Tarty GPO bag. 

The correct amount of tools to have is N +1 )

No, I only have the bottom one, I live in the North, we're not minted.

[james.wilson]

yeah whatever

[sixwheeledbeast]

10Kg worth of hand tools plus bits and bobs in an old drill style toolbox and small length standard CK side cutters.

I live in the north too, if that matters...

 

Soft storage is not for me, I would replace mine for a similar sized toolbox if it broke.

Has to be boxes. You can't stand on a tool bag.

[al-yeti]

I use cardboard boxes, moving crates, all kinda stuff, just not disciplined like you guys , housing bashing is the way forward give it up!

Or try to squeeze as much as I can I to a twin makita drill box standard , screws spilled all inside to
