Fatmax bag

[The Finch]

Has anyone had any experience using one of these

Stanley FatMax Technicians Open Tote Tool Bag 1-93-952 STA193952 | eBay

I need something easy to carry just the essential bits snips couple drivers dmm few connectors etc and my 10.8 dewalt rather than carting my heavy briefcase while I'm on a big site doing works on fire system

they are good bags to be honest

 

[flowlec1]

Veto pro PAC tech series are really good

Posing gits. Aldi carriers, 3p a pop, strong (as long as you don't over fill them) and they can be used for IP rating goodness

I'd love another veto like the look of the tech pac I got the mb and tp3 did have a tech lc until my van at the time got done over, since upgraded to car and at the moment got the fatmax rucksack but was to big so been using cheap briefcase from machine mart

would prefer a ck magma one -
CK Magma Technician s Tote - MA2633
it has a lid and no exposed pockets, prevents plumbers on a big site from borrowing your nice snips

I have been using the fatmax tote for a year or so now, its great for hand tools etc.

I use a CK tool roll which is great keeps everything organised and you know you haven't left any tools behind. A chap I work with has the tough built clip stuff that clips on his belt and on his van and stands up on the floor. After taking the micky for a bit I have become progressively more envious and want that kit. Really good for keeping everything together onsite.

I had both CK tool bag and Fatmax tool bag. I first had the CK bag (expensive) and it was good but found the bottom fell out , bought another and the same happened again after a while. Went and bought the Fatmax (cheaper) and it has lasted me twice as long. Good base on it.

Thanks for the input in going to have a look tomorrow

I have just brought the tough build electricians pouch and must say I wish I brought it sooner!
Holds all the VDE stuff and has a handy stand too.
Had the Stanley open tote and found it was always full of dust so now have a bag that closes.

I have an Irwin tool tote, a Plano tool belt with drill holster and a good quality day pack.

Horses for courses.

The day pack is great for small jobs up several flights of stairs or when I can't get parked close to the job. Tool belt and bits in the pack, MFT in one hand and small FG steps in the other.

The pack has straps on the side for battery drill and work light.

I may resemble a pack mule but it saves my fat ar$e doing repeat journeys.

Do you have a link to this?

Thanks

 

[londonfire]

The link won't work but I got it from FFX for £31.
Very good quality and has a good clip system.

 

[The Finch]

Hi yes I noticed the link didn't work but just had a look on ffx looks good ideal for few drivers snips etc and my dewalt 10.8 should go in or clip on too thanks for the info

 

[plantpot]

Just got toughbuild pouch off amazon.
Works well and has has good sholder strap.
Have mine loaded with small job tools then use my main bag for all day job use

 

[The Finch]

I've got my eye on one of the pouches on fleebay at the moment otherwise I'll just order online if bidding goes silly look ideal for carrying basics when on large sites as I look after some big factory type places and multi storey office blocks so nothing worse than forgetting something and company supplies cheap nasty pants with hardly any pockets to put stuff in

 

[The Finch]

Pouch came today so going to get it loaded up tomorrow should be able to get all I need in with ease, still got my eye on veto tech PAC though lol

I was looking at the tech bags but there a bit pricy for my like I went for the veto pro pac xxl-f and it was cheaper than some of the tech bags

I have an ammunition box cheap as chips won't get busted, not fashionable but does the job. But I am an oldie whats all this carp about tool totes, fat max, veto pro pack, who in their right mind would want to spend 100s of £s on a tool bag for Christ's sake/

Nice one mate

Nice one mate

the only reason i have got an xxl-f is I work out of that one bag because we dont have a clue what we will be doing the next day.

ive got all soughts in there including a scaffold spanner etc.


if anyone knows of a bag where you can fit that much in and see everything im all ears

Cleveland cables sacks are the one, a lot stronger than carrier bags they cost nothing there's always plenty on the job and you get plenty in them too, that or a good bucket

I mostly use a fatmax bag, paid 20 quid for it and it's still going strong after 7 years of abuse, yeah it's not as flash as the veto stuff and sometimes smaller things can take abit of finding but what do you expect for 20 quid

i prefer to use pipe fitters bags, perfect for cable and everything.

they come in all different shapes and sizes and they just bin them anyway

 

[CockneyReject]

Carrying cable is what the boy is for,I use the pipe fighters bags for scrap then if anyone happens to see it they get the blame for lifting scrap off the job
