My tool case has died.. which do you recommend?

[HappyHippyDad]

I have been using my dewalt tote bag for the last few years. I liked it but I did find it a nuisance having to take everything out to get something at the bottom. I'm looking at the following 3 hard cases but the jet and jumbo are pretty steep in price, but they look great!

1. JUMBO 6700 – B&W International - http://www.b-w-international.com/product/jumbo-6700/

2. JET 6000 – B&W International - http://www.b-w-international.com/product/jet-6000/

3. DeWalt TSTAK Combination Tools & Fixings Storage Set - https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-tstak-combination-tools-fixings-storage-set/4744f#product_additional_details_container

Anyone used any of those 3 or any other cases you'd recommend?

Cheers.

A big thankyou to the replies.
I was all set to get a hard case which I think would have been a mistake.
The pro pac XL seems very good but only time will tell, very happy at the moment though.
I'll still utilise the dewalt tote for some of the more bulky items, but they'll be far easier to get to and I won't have to take out half a dozen bits to get to what I wanted which did occasionally pxxs me off at the end of the day. Plus it was pretty damn heavy!

Before.


After


Cheers chaps... one happy worker

Very good purchase there, when I got mine about 3 years ago the only regret I had was I didn't get one sooner!

I have been tempted by the veto gear, only thing stopping me is the lack of a nice big pocket (for loads of Wagos) and space to put some Ikea plastic cases I use in them. Seems to me they are very good but could maybe do without as many vertical pockets as they do have, to allow a bit of open space. That's the OT XL I am taking about by the way. If I saw one in the flesh maybe I would change my mind...

There's a couple of sparks at our place use these (when empty and clean)View attachment 39246

As a lad I used to be a wet pants mate during the summer holidays and all the plumbers all used black buckets as tool totes, brings back some memories.

I have one and yes pricey but well made. Like all tool bags after not much time they get cluttered.

I have to agree there. I have spare vertical pockets and cant really put any larger items in it. However, the whole idea was to make it a bit lighter and I now use my tote to hold the drills, lump hammer chisel etc which I can now easily get to as all the other bits are in the veto.

I love the veto! This is going to sound sad, but It actually feels good to open and close it and put in/take out the tools, probably because its done with such ease, but also because I know its such good quality.

My friend who has the Jet6000 hard case and advised me to buy one has actually now bought one of the veto's!

I use a Dewalt tote. Plenty of elasticated sections all round the inside in various sizes to fit plenty of stuff, pockets and pouches all around the outside too, for various tools and such, one end has a drill bit pouch and a clip for your tap measure above.

Open at the top means easy access at all times and with stuff around the edges you can see what’s in the bottom.

Comes with a shoulder strap too.

Though I really liked the rucksack tool bag that @Pete999 postedva video of last week.
Really looked like a good practical and user friendly option.

I've been worse than a woman and her handbags when it came to tool boxes and organisers, until I got this FatMax tool case https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stanley-19...8&qid=1511636494&sr=1-13&keywords=fatmax+tool
It's been great, I've got all my tools in it, and when it's worn out if ever, I'll get another one.

I also have one of those TSTAK boxes for my hammer drill and power driver, with all the fixings in the drawers underneath but it's rubbish. The contents of the drawers move from one compartment to another, and if you put it on a trolley and leant it, they'll really get mixed up.

HTH

I like the stanley fatmax ruck sag.

Had two CK bags. After the 2nd one died I got a Klein Ultimate Electricians' toolbag. Only had it few weeks but love it so far. (Expensive though!)

That Fat max looks similar to the veto apart from the veto is £130 more.
