Tool Bag or Tool Box recommendations?

[Migmac]

makes good sense being a plumber, given their profession buckets are always handy....

Yep I thought that too

I've had good use n luck from the Stanley rolling box's....big enough to use but small enough to put in the boot.....mine came from B+Q
bought 1 then had to have another.about £40 a peice...View attachment 216155
nice internal trays.....very strong..big enough for the drills etc.....
just love em.....
one of mine was dragged about for years doing a lot of miles (jobsites n factories) and the best bit 20 years on still using them.....

I've got one of those too, sometimes I've removed the insert trays to load it up with axle stands/tools/brake disks etc to work on the wife's car which she had to park several feet away due to allocated parking spaces.

Same as Gaz, for on the move I keep everything in separate boxes. The cheaper plastic boxes are a waste of space, they always bulge/split and fall apart. The surprise box for me are the ones from Wickes called Tactix , super tough and stackable, built a bit like the expensive contico`s but a fraction of the cost.

You could use these as axle stands, much stronger than the Dewalt or Fat fecks etc and a lot cheaper, also truly waterproof with a properly thought out seal. Two sizes available

Might have to grab me a few of those before I rack the van out.

Our plumber uses a five gallon bucket

I have 3 toolboxes in van and a builders bucket that's portable

Steel Bucket is quite a common sight when it comes to welders. I’ve seen quite a few good ones over the years with nothing but a bucket and shield, few hand tools, adjustable, chipper, brush, etc

I thought that was what the hedge row was for?

I've decided to give one of these a go:

Toolstation seemed to be offering the best deal on these atm, Had a look at a few other options. But this Stanley 18" bag had plenty of pockets inside & out

Will see how I get on!

Had a look at one of these today & I must say the build quality was impressive for the price point

I think I’ll have one of those Veto Pro Pac bags.
Mine is on its last legs.

The rigger bag looks good or the Tech OT MC

I got a veto pro pack last month, quality is very good, you are paying for said quality so it should be.

I’ve decided on the rigger bag (I actually need to use a smaller bag than my snap on, it ends up too heavy) but I’m just trying to see if work will front some of the cost. My current bag is fubar from working on the sites we do.

The bottom and pockets are torn up from gratings and scaffolds. The handle snapped last week from carrying round two 18” bahcos plus all other tools.
The stiffeners in the side popped through the material. Again overloaded and grinding sparks deteriorates the stitching.
Still it’s done well this snap on.

Everything wears out with constant use, I'm feeling a bit like that myself lol
