The quest for the perfect tool bag!

[keniff]

So what do you guys use? I've been through a hell of a lot of tool bags from veto to ck to dewalt can't seem to find one that holds all I need and be durable! I mainly do domestic works but seems a struggle to organise my gear!

I do actually use all this kit every day, ok day off today apart from a quote as looking after my son, but it does get a lot of use almost every day.

I have a Veto Pro Pac XXL, let me just tidy it up, i was going to anyway, then ill take a photo of what I can get in it. Its quite impressive how much you can fit to be honest. The key to clean tools, well handles anyway, I use wet wipes, i give everything a wipe over every couple of weeks or so just to keep it clean. Let me take a photo, then I best go as ill be late for my next job.

Looked good until I saw the price .... £180 for a tool bag!! Tell me you didn't anywhere near that?

There's another one here ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Veto-Pro-Pa...&qid=1382533511&sr=1-11&keywords=veto+pro+pac

I use my two CK bags for test gear. Used to use two cheap open totes for hand tools, but got sick of rummaging around in bottom to find things, so now mainly use a £8 Wickes tool tray for most used tools.

I bought a CK tool bag a couple of weeks ago. Seems ok. I have a metal box I would use for building sites, as it would get more of a bashing. Usually though I just fill the old snickers pockets with the tools I need and the bag stays in the van!

I still use a toolbox. Am I behind the trends or something ?
Although a toolbag would stop the odd rummaging session, I would miss the step-up, lunch seat, cutting bench, dust and water protection for tools that a box provides.

CK magma for most light tools. stanley tote for the heavier stuff like hammers, chisels, wrecker bar. tool belt for drivers, cutters, fluke T3 and |T5-1000, strippers etc., stanley rolling toolbox for drills etc.

 

[uksparks]

the Stanley Fatmax tote is quite good, it takes a bashing, carries my first fix kit, hammers, chisels, the heavier end of things. Just heavy when fully loaded.

And the tool I need right now is? Oh, yes, the one I keep in my other bag ... which is in the van. On a bad day, when brain not really in gear, I wear a trail to the van and back. Now, which of my fifty pockets did I last put my keys ....

That's a great bag, but I personally like more pockets on it.
