Re: Tool Box
I'm a bag man, I have a Greenlee leather bottom canvas bag but not enough pouches for organization. I also have the greenlee coudura zipper top bag, which is better but not big enough for the tools I want to store in it. The rest of my tools are in Hilti/Ridgid/Dewalt cheap bags that get replaced onece the corners and bottoms wear out.
Funny, my home depot semi ridgid 25$ Husky bag still looks new as my other more expensive ones are falling apart. I gotta get me some Veto Pro! |

Re: Tool Box
have a husky bag (wrenches, bars, other odd tools)
, a cgc back like the veto bags(interior trim tools such as 18 ga, 23 ga, pliers, clamps, glue, screw drivers, chisels, planes0 , multiples of makita, ridgid, milwaukee bags which come with power tools. which i store my not used so often tools in, although one has all my drywall gear in it for tool boxes i have a wooden tool caddy i use for trim it acts as a 2 ft step when doing crown and for big stuff i have a 40 gallon stanley box on wheels which my framing and siding hand tools in along with my bosch impactor which the case broke. this usually stays on site once its secure

Re: Tool Box
My helper bought a Husky tool belt almost 5 years ago even though I told him it was junk and would probably fall apart. I've probably gone through 6 belts in that time, he still has his. Not one hole or tear in it either.

Re: Tool Box
Roughly 75 years and counting on this one. It was my Grandfathers everyday box, I remember my dad using it when I was a kid, now it's mine to protect a few other hand-me-downs.

Re: Tool Box
Yeah, I'm sure there is a kerf
for the tip of the saw blade, but isn't there about a 1½" hole bored in that block?

Re: Tool Box
I've been using my Veto Pro Pac XL for a few years. Other than being full of sawdust, it's like new. No rips, tears or broken zippers.
For most of my corded tools that I keep in my truck I use storage totes from Northern Tools - Quantum Heavy duty attached top containers. Awesome for stacking in my extended cab. |

Re: Tool Box
Veto Pro Pac. You can make them as heavy as you can carry. They are no questions very tough bags. I am wanting a couple more.

These are tough and support my 225lb arse just fine. Look for Durabull (made by rubbermaid). I don't think they are made anymore but they are tough as nails. |

Re: Tool Box
I use one of the stanley rolling tool boxes. It works pretty well for holding most of my hand tools, cordless tools and clamps.

Re: Tool Box
We use Veto Bags and we love them.
I have the first version closed mouth (zipper, model XXL-F). It's alright in term of usability, but I think the open mouth (we later bought 6 of these, model OT-XL) is much better: accesibility, less likely to misplace tools since you can see if the tools are in their place before go home. VERY durable. More than 2 years already, still look new. Highly recommended. I also have one of those IRWIN blue box. That's too bad if they stop making them.

Re: Tool Box
that toolbox rocks loneframer, the handplanes are pretty sweet as well. i was on a stint of antique plane hunting last year but couldnt find anything anywhere other than ebay so i just about gave it up, occasionally i hit flea markets hoping to find one.
