I've exhausted everything I can think of to guess what kind of car or truck that is.
I'm out of ideas.
Would you care to share, so I can stop wondering?
I have a packout tub I keep all my tools in. usually just throw the most used shit in a 5 gallon home depot bucket.
I dont really care about ease of carrying because my helper loads and unloads the truck every day.
Got my little go-bag for most stuff, and a couple cheap/free Husky-Craftsman-Ridgid soft bags if I need to toss big power tools or more wrenches in there depending on the job. I purposely got a small bag to keep me from being tempted to pack 75lbs of shit I rarely use into a larger bag..
5-gallon buckets dedicated to specific 'sets' (e.g. plumbing, wiring, hinge setting)
cheap Harbor Freight cloth toolbag for random fix-it stuff
tool belt with way too many holsters and a bag like for structured wiring
I bought one of those Ridgid rolling multi-box setups a while back, and have used it a grand total of never. It just takes up space under the bench. Only time I could see myself using it is if I needed to drive multi-state for a job (aka never).
>takes up space
I like the soft sided bags because of that, pic related, I just fold the thing flat and stick it on the shelf. I have one of those big Husky bags with wheels like one of those pilot briefcases and it gets used when I need to bring saws and shit to somebody else’s place, but it’s currently stored with the Xmas tree.
I need like a tool cart with folding legs like they have on the gurneys in ambulances, I wish I could roll the thing right into the trunk for mobile mechanic gigs. When I help neighbors out with car shit, I’ll roll the cart down the street.
I need to do this. I have a PVC crate and a drywall and tile crate instead. I always hated 5gal buckets though because the handles get so shitty when the bucket is heavy.
>I always hated 5gal buckets though because the handles get so shitty when the bucket is heavy.
I'm surprised they don't sell what I made (maybe they do); I took a 1 inch wooden rod and cut about 5 inches, drilled a hole through it lengthways and then split it, then taped it back together over the bail after removing the plastic crap piece. So now, no matter how heavy it is, it doesn't cut into my fingers like before.
They actually make good replacement handles nowadays. Idk how they compare to a dowel but they are way better than wrapping the stock broken ones with a half pound of duct tape.
I had that thought a little bit but a proper tool bag will have nice deep pockets where there’s no issue with 10”-12” pliers and shit falling out. Also surprisingly after like 2 years, this little CLC bag doesn’t seem to be stretching or anything and the screwdrivers and shit still fit perfectly. The material is thick as well, not like some $18 Jansport knockoff backpack.
I keep my welding accessories (hood, sleeves, etc) inside this St. Louis screw and bolt bucket I got from the ironworkers a few years ago. Handle broke so I replace it with some 9 wire.
4x4x10in cosmetic pouch. Fits all my small screwdrivers, allen keys, couple of wrenches/sockets, pliers, crimper, soldering iron, dozen of spare connectors. Almost everything i need for cinema projector/audio/it field repairs.
I keep odds and ends in a metal ammo can i burn lemon eucalyptus in it every few years keeps the skeeters and insects away they hate the smell of creosote
A backpack for hand tools and a rolling tool box for power tools. A whole lot more convenient than destroying my hands holding a heavy ass tool bag and I can lazily lift myself up with my backpack instead of blowing my knees out.
>heavy ass tool bag
Tool bags are for people in trades where you only need a few different tools. Mine only weighs about 15 pounds even when full of all my stuff.
I can have it done for several days wages. Why would I care?
You talk about it doesn't take alot of sense to be a plumber.
You are really ignorant.
Your yuppie ass would need to pay several days wages to have a real man fix your shit pipes.
Go take a look at your pipes and try to even begin figuring out what you're looking at.
We won't even get into the materials properties or chemical interactions or culturing bacteria to break down solid waste.

Like I said, you don't even know the first thing.
Yes, things look easier than they actually are.
Yes, you can Black person rig shit that kind of works, but you don't know the depth of environmental concerns and regulations regarding septic systems.
Don't be a Black person to plumbers.

They're already Black folk. They're plumbers.
The ~6 times a year I leave the shop to go pull parts or fix shit at someone's house it throw what I'll need in an old surplus tool bag. Otherwise all my shit sits pretty wrapped in shadow foam in my tool boxes.
A dewalt tool bag I pulled out of a trash can at Best Buy when I worked at one back in 2010. The contractors BB hired to do some work tossed it when opening the new drill/impact combos they were using on the job. I've since also got a Milwaukee 48-22-8422 tool box that I've started keeping some stuff in. Their packout system is cool and I wish I could justify buying more, but I don't have much to DIY on in my current living situation.
I have this bag. I got it after seeing this handyman dude I know with a tiny Husky bag and it was perfect for going in and diagnosing the issue or tightening a few screws or connecting this and hanging that. And then go grab the socket set when you actually need to replace stuff. I purposely got a small bag because I know a larger bag would get overloaded with crap I rarely use and I would still need to go back for the socket set anyway.
The little pocket with the parts organizer is the perfect size for a drill/driver bit box too. There is a DeWalt version of the exact same bag made by CLC, buy whichever one is cheaper or whatever color you like better.
if it's light use then cant go wrong with anything
just don't buy the cheapest one or put too much weight into them otherwise it'll fall apart

Also I have had the CLC for I think 2 years now and it goes in the car and out of the car every day and used like half the days of the week and it’s holding up strong. I think it was around $45-$50, so it’s not cheap HF trash.
Main middle pocket is perfect size for an 18V impact driver plus there’s a smaller clamp meter in there.

I'll give you a hint.
It was a pretty fierce competitor to Jeep in the late 80s until an unfortunate incident occured.

Nice Samurai, patricians choice.
>The Samurai gave Jeep any competition whatsoever
It out sold the wrangler by almost double for it's first three years.
i collect womens clutches abandonded at the flea market for my bits

>How do you carry your tools
With my hands
Definitely not in a man purse
Oh you got his ass good I'm lmao even

my dad used nothing but 5 gallon buckets
Imagine not having 'the PVC pipe work bucket', 'the copper pipe work bucket', 'the household wiring bucket' and 'the coax and UTP wiring bucket'
I need to do this. I have a PVC crate and a drywall and tile crate instead. I always hated 5gal buckets though because the handles get so shitty when the bucket is heavy.

They make buckets with solid one piece plastic handles. The grip part even has a little waffle pattern molded into it for grip
Klein tool bag. Very good quality and it holds a large amount of tools.
One of these
They get hate for being cheap, but what does a bag/box that costs 4x more do that it doesn't?
A basic tool bag costs about the same as that box, $20.
I stole a hand basket from target. It makes a great tool tote but sometimes my breaker bar likes to sneak through the holes.
> it's free too.
I have to fix asphalt testing equipment. The Pelican has stood up to hot asphalt and can get pressure washed in the car wash.
nice purse
Plastic grocery bag.
>How do you carry your tools?
jock strap
Nice purse gay
Seething poorgays
Keekles. Stay mad.
I just can't get over my paranoia of carrying an open bag. Something falling out, someone snagging something out of it
I had that thought a little bit but a proper tool bag will have nice deep pockets where there’s no issue with 10”-12” pliers and shit falling out. Also surprisingly after like 2 years, this little CLC bag doesn’t seem to be stretching or anything and the screwdrivers and shit still fit perfectly.

For my tools I need for every service call they go in a tool backpack, way better for your spine than carrying everything on one side.
>itt: poorgays and homeowner larpers
behold
Nice drivers breh
based. Veto patrician checking in
One day when I start making the big bucks but for now its the huskey for me. Might also look into a packout but a vido might be enough.
I keep my welding accessories (hood, sleeves, etc) inside this St. Louis screw and bolt bucket I got from the ironworkers a few years ago. Handle broke so I replace it with some 9 wire.
Same here. Best plastic bucket I’ve ever had. Also use a behrens steel bucket for burnt rod and hand tools.
4x4x10in cosmetic pouch. Fits all my small screwdrivers, allen keys, couple of wrenches/sockets, pliers, crimper, soldering iron, dozen of spare connectors. Almost everything i need for cinema projector/audio/it field repairs.

>Only have to carry them from one side of the plant to the other
I've got my complaints but for less than $300 I'm not gonna be very loud about them.
This is my toolbox/office/breakroom/and nap spot for those 20 hour days when they happen.
What job? Aren't you paranoid of getting your truck stolen?

I see plumbers all the time carrying their tool bags like they're trying to pull the entire jobsite off the ground.
Doesn't take much sense to be a plumber.
I doubt you'd know the first thing about replacing a septic tank
Nobody cares turd herder.

Came in to post this. My daily tools are in a small tanker bag, everything else is in my shop or scattered around the ranch.
that's a purse
This has to be a shoop, no tool company would put their logo on a purse

Just paid $180 for this, not sure why but the muh waukee version costs twice as much
I've been enjoying the Toughsystem things but am disappointed the smaller toughcase items are only compatible with Tstak.

I thought it was a total gimmick until I used it. It's based af
Klein 5482 but I wear it on the front/side. Everything else goes into really cheap shitty toolbag.
I made a leather case for them. I like my bag version better but I don't have pics. https://imgur.com/VH44Fkz
I'll make you this one for $75 or OP's for $125.
Badass
Toolbag 1 for general shit (screwdrivers/ pliers)
Toolbag 2 for work specific stuff (tubes, fittings, connectors, electronic boards, ect)

The last gift my mama ever gave me was this tote. If anyone touches my shit I will drown them.
