What tool backpack does the forum recommend?

[Zerax]

This thread is very confusing... People are talking about a tool bag in the singular ?? only one ?? Surely that can't be right... I have 4 ! each with different things in for different jobs... and that's just the sparky stuff... I also have separate ones for carpentry, plumbing, tiling and masonry... although admittedly the tiling and masonry ones are just buckets !

My plumbing and making good / plastering tools live in a bucket

i dunno. a trainee with a veto. when i was a trainee it was a tesco carrier bag. ( and that was before they cost a shilling (5p for you wet behind the ears lot)).

Not quite. Qualified this time last year.

I need to remove "trainee" from my profile. Not sure how I do it?

Do you mean a bag for life or actually tool bag ?

An actual tool bag. One of the backpack types. Having said that back in the days when I worked for Schneider (spit!) there was one guy who did use a carrier for some of his tools.

For general storage of tools in the van I use 6 DeWalt TStak boxes. For my grab and go kit I use the Stanley Fatmax tool tote. Never really needed a back pack, but you guys have got me thinking I'm missing out on something...

I do a lot of work in telecoms sites and it's often a trek to get anywhere with a set of ladders, laptop, printer and tools so backpack is ideal, saves extra trips back to the van to get more stuff.

I splashed out on a velocity progear one and its brilliant. Bit expensive but well worth the money.

Does anyone still use a briefcase ?

for over 45 years my dad kept his hand tools in a large brief case which had leather compartments inside to hold screwdrivers etc

type, style and weight of a rucksack all depend on how much an apprentice can carry while still playing a game on his phone.
