Whats the best tool box for an electrician?

[pennywise]

Cheapest place in UK is Beesleys. Unfortunately they don't come cheap but are definitely worth it. £175 here: Beesleys Tool Shop UK. Main dealer for Dremel, Proxxon, Trend, Makita, Lamello, Bosch and more. Open Tote OT-XXL Tool Bag

Rutlands are 5 pounds cheaper at the mo, I'll take two lol

Great bags though it does weigh the same as me now.

all over my house at the moment and some in car, upended all my tool boxes looking for something the other day in a mood.
I need to sort out all my tools one day because they are breeding like rabits.
I think i need to calm down now.

I currently have double and triplicates of tools in my bag. Going through a bad patch with killing or losing tools at the moment set square dead, torch missing in action two long SDS drill bits buggered on the same job, atlest christmas is coming lol.

Yikes, that's expensive!!!!

And that's just for the bare box! If you want trays and inserts you could be looking at £750+vat

£20 - £30 is as far as I'll go........do you think they're open to haggling????

Gawd, I thought it came with tools at that price. How can it be so expensive, I don't get it. Maybe it's made from carbon fibre or some fancy shmancy lightweight engineering composite plastic??

It would be a dilemma if you needed two or three tool boxes maybe you should just buy a Transit van instead.

Expensive is pelican cases all over. They float with 50kg of stuff in them, some of there other ones stay afloat with 250kg in them They are almost indestructible. If I had the money I would have one lol. The other reason they are astronomically Expensive is that they are military spec lots of armed forces use them so they can charge the earth. My dad may get a forces discount so will have to have a look see lol. A transit would be nice though

Aldi 10p carrier bags. dont get the 3p ones, the screwdrivers stick through too easy. Oh and the handles can snap if you overload them.

CK toolbag for all the lightweight gear. well organised and you can tell if you've missed a tool out. sit-on /step box for hammers, chisels etc.

I agree!

CK Technicians tool bag is the best!

I wouldn't recommend a carrier bag...

Cheapo... Try using Marks and Spencer or Waitrose. Proper old school thick plastic bags them. Not like the paper thin ones at lower end chain stores, I might add.
