tool box!!

[tridimnaw]

Hi, I'd like some advise on tool box's. I've had a few tool box's over the last few years. I've had some cheap small plastic box's that dont last a month. I bought a stanley 26inch box but that was big and pretty awkward to carry to boilers, I also found tools would mix up in it and were a pain to fish out! I'm not keen on the bags but I would like any advise on you mite have on these. The tool case has also caught my eye. I'm after your advice and what you guys are using
Cheers

The tool bags are handy if you don't put too much stuff in them. If you bump into a door frame, they shouldnt do any damage, unlike a box.
The cases may seem the best solution, but I found that the large case was too big in awkward wee places, when you had to open it, as it doubles in size. Very professional looking though, & all your tools can be kept handy to see.

Handy also if you leave a leak, - or need one! Lol!
I sometimes carry a large flexible tub, which is great for water or putting all the bits of scrap or rubbish & even tools in it & saves a lot of walking ( as on another thread! ).

I got a tool tray from wickes £8 this is for my soldering stuff, screwdrivers i.e. (maintenance tools) and looking to get a 26" tool box for my trowels, spatulas, i.e. which will stay in van.

Bod, that does look more professional looking than a bag or box stuffed with tools, one on top of each other. Think I will get my case (samsonite) & use it again, or perhaps get a smaller one.

I have a couple of gorilla tubs as well, best buy, really useful for rubbish and like you say scrap. Good for a quick getaway and onto the next one
