which you guys prefer seem every box i get just ends up getting broken thinking getting a bag for main hand tools anyone recommened a good decent size bag
true never really had bag always bought boxes they just seem to get broken just wondered which people prefereed who have used both
Just changed my big Plano Tool bag today for a Stanley box. Reason? I got fed up trying to peer into the depths of the bag to find small tools which are out of sight! A box is easier to open up and rummage through - and you can sit on it
lol very true forgot about sitting on them i got the big stanley one now which makes a nice seat when fitting locks and tea break
yep, big stanley, great seat, jus 2 things to note, firstly dont let H&S warden catch you using it as a climbing frame, secondly If you're using it as a saw horse... make sure you dont saw into it... same as you would wit trestle... all my allen keys are now super glued toogether!
already got a line cut in it where using the skill saw and yes i put a small bottle mitre glue in top tray and which leaked i now have few drill bits permently stuck to the tray looks like i stick with boxes then
Systainers are the way forward. Easy to carry lots of boxes at once. Expensive but worth every penny.
I use Both and they both have there advantages Box = seat, carry more, cant get bags on wheels (but you can put bags on boxes with wheels) easyer to find things. Bags = great for smaller jobs with less tools, less bulky, dont crack (but can rip) and there is no chance you will open up a lid forgeting the top section isn't shut http://forum.hudsoncarpentry.co.uk
i used to use a toolbox but now use a fat max bag, its a bit pricey but its the dogs, i can fix all my hand tools in it no probs http://www.screwfix.com/prods/25979/Hand-Tools/Tool-Storage/Tool-Bags/FatMax-XL-Round-Top-Bag
i use the small dewalt bag for 2nd fix tools etc, and a fatmax open tote for snips, string line, speed clamps, speed square, chalk like, pad saw, surform, adjustables etc basically just for 1st fix tools and tools i dont need all the time saves the wait.
had them all, got 2 x bosch bags with my monster kit, ok for the power tools, tool boxes can get heavy so recently got a stanley contractors box ( pull out handle 2 x rear wheels ) easy to move about but bulky in the van, purely depends on how mych gear you want to carry, always prefered a box myself, lol.
Have both boxes and bags. Boxes are the stanley non slip-- B&Q bags are the big ones from SF Both can be a nightmare to find things burried at the btm. Just ordered two Bucket Boss 56 pocket jobs from usa. fit over a bucket. look good.
