TOOL BOX vs TOOL BAG

[Johno]

I know this is a crap thread but,

I have always used a box and it got untidy very quickly, so I thought I would try a bag with compartments and even though my screwdrivers and cutters are in order of preference I can't get used to not having compartments for screws, etc.

Also my hacksaw doesn't fit in, it is the ck tote bag and though it looks the part I think I prefer the good old box.

What are you using?

ck technicians case and ck tote the big one. i have a screwfix tin box for the screws and clips

bag for tools, box for fixings.

Used tool boxes only for 40 years, but bought a toolbag 3 weeks ago
I should have done so many moons ago

got a toolbox, but bought a toolbag for carrying on the train. much prefer a box,but it does get filled with crap. Mines got hundreds of drill bits and taps in it!

I was using a box but got sick of constantly having to rearrange the contents to close the lid. So now using an open tote bag that is big enough to take a couple of plastic organiser boxes for all the bits and bobs, as well as my clamp meter and voltage proving unit as well as a few other things i carried seperately before. Working quite well so far

Box. Just cleaned it out as a matter of fact and it took me about 3 hours, so I guess it gets full of rubbish. On the other hand, you can't stand on a bag, can you?

Have been considering a tote for some time, though.

 

[johnboy6083]

tote no good for me. my gear would be nicked in no time.

I've always wondered what you do with all those little bits of insulation you get in box/bag that clogs up when you have stripped cable about 10 metres from your box/bag, but still manage to get in.

Pockets full of everthing from cutters, knife and one of each driver. But mainly big box, but bags are begining to look good

 

[telectrix]

nissan van is my toolbox. everthing fits in

 

[Doomed]

ck technicians case for all the regularly used bits, CK belt for ladder work, compartment box for fixings and a tool box for all the other tools, which normally stays sat in the vehicle untouched except for loading / unloading every morning / evening.

 

[oldtimer]

Had a toolbag but it ended up being a bag that had a lot of screws,rawplug,grommets etc with some tools in it so I have a big tool box and a small toolbox that have my hand tools in it

 

[pennywise]

Veto pro pack for all the tools, then grab the tools needed for the job and stick them in the tool belt

 

[Spudnik]

I use a B&D open top solid tote thing.

Loads of pockets for drivers.

Had it a coupe of years and a few of the pockets on the sides have split on the bottom.
