I've got to agree with the blue toolbox.

http://www.twtools.co.uk/online-tool-sales/TOOL_BOX_BLUE_20_C_W_STORAGE_TRAY.html

Its perfect for working on boilers/servicing. Its a decent size and pretty light so you shouldn't have many problems carrying it, unless you absolutely ram it.

Its nice and solid, so you can use it as a step, which comes in really handy.

The two trays have dividers which you can alter the position of, to suit your tools.

I think its used by a lot of big companies like British Gas, National Grid, etc.

I'd recommend it to anyone, I might even get myself another (one for servicing/repairs and installs).

I can't open the link, but I'm more into the heating and oil boiler side of this industry, and finding something to keep all the relevant tools in is pretty hard, I tend to use mainly combi spanners on boilers and burners, my next step is probably going to be a tool roll for my spanners, screwdrivers and allen keys. I couldn't get on with the bag I had.

I have a little Rolson tool bag for the oil that I picked up from tool station. I try to keep my oil tools seperate. Not nice changing taps in somebody's house with smelly spanners. :)
 
ive tried so many times to have several smaller boxes with dedicated tools in like one for boiler repairs one for electrical one for plumbing etc but ive always come back to a big box in the van and a medium sized box which i fill and remove acording to the job and then if i need more its the bucket
big boxes are a pain to carry once full and unless your working in large offices/hospitals with long corridors and lifts the wheeled ones are even worse

very out of fashion now days but have the advantage that when placed on the floor you can see every tool and dont have to dig around you can get a bottle and bender in one with the tools probably the best for site work
 
The blue bg ones are the best. I put all my tools in that and then have an open toolbox for soldering gear and pipework tools
