Tool box for installs?

[Super Mario]

What sort of tool box do you use for install work like boilers and bathrooms

 

[plumben]

I've got multiple tools box's bags and totes
soldering box open tote
Stanley tool box for all my plumbing gear
tool bag with other bits and pieces in
And then all my power tools in the vault in there own box's/bags

A Big one ! Not possible to get everything into one box (Well it is ) but you would never lift it

Two large tool boxes. One that stays in the van (plastic tool box) and holds the heavier tools - large spanners, hammers and chisels etc. The other is a Stanley large tool "bag" for all the smaller stuff, - pipe cutters, junior hacksaw, Bahco adjustables, grips and electrical tools. Weighs far too much though.
Probably best with at least three tool boxes if your job involves various trades work, like some plumbing, electrical and building work.

I keep swapping between open totes and tool boxes.

Tool boxes are handy as you have that extra little step up, but eventually you will take a massive great boiler off the wall and hear that crack then new box time.

Open totes I went off as I just fill them with all sorts of rubbish then they get stupidly heavy! But I noticed I do the same with tool boxes so I've now gone back to them.

I do like the look of the veto but they look heavy and I can't justify spending that much on a tool box.

Tool box with basics in, open tote with the extra's - specialised tools for the task, and a bucket with lead lamp, dust sheet and rubble sacks.
