not advocating makita...

but something like this:

 

This setup works great for me. I don’t use drill bits a lot. I also have a small container with spade bits.

They go in the tstak rolling box with the every day tools- impact, drill, circular and recip saws, OMT, hammer, cats paw, and speed square.

Very small footprint, with the spade bits takes care of 95% of drilling and driving needs.

For some reason I have ended up with 3 laptop computer attache cases.

I use one to hold my Makita 18 V drill driver, Makita impact and Bosch 12 volt.
One battery in the tool and 2 spare batteries.

Plenty of pockets for bits, etc.

Soft sides/top...zippered...it works great.

 

Screws all go into the festool screw systainer, I throw 4 cordless drills , batteries, chargers in a sys 3 , bits and tips in a sys mini inside the sys3.

Yeah, 180 bucks for the systainers, but easy to carry with one hand and I have all my screws as well.

In a finish work environment yes, but I'm liable to put a hole in a 200 investment, or crush it. The 200 buys 4 new batteries on sale at Christmas time.

It does seem like a nice system it just probably wouldn't work for me. I'll still end up checking it out since you can get the charger and the screws in the package

 

I have totes and bags out the ying yang and they are either too small or too big...too small gets too crowded and too big ends up with other stuff in there and then it's likewise.

I'm looking for the perfect set up something smart with maybe even the charger integrated, room for large or small index, driver wall, extra bit storage, etc

I got the idea in my head. Now if I had some sheet metal and a press break. now days they seem like cardboard with fabic stretched over them

 

Make one out of 1/2" and 1/4" Baltic Birch ply.

Problem solved.

 

Yep I've done that with my rehab kit served me well for 10 years or more. I still have it. It's quite long about 30" or better. Holds long crowbars, Framing squares, etc. Has leather tool holder for small tools. Level clips on the side, Brass push plate on one side to engrave my name (which I never did) and a 3/4" round copper handle

 

I have a Milwaukee large packout that holds drills and impacts only. I have a bits and blades systainer.

Once you try to dedicate a bag to something, it's hard not to add things, and with what you're looking to pack, a roller-bag option (roll-it or carry it) might be your best option...

 

Like the choices.
My delimma bags of const. screws, you know you buy bulk 2 lbs of this and this and this and a .lb of drywall screws. Next I end up with 6 bags of screws in plastic bags in a pail. You guessed it I need the ones at the bottom,or better yet Oh I had those lengths.

 

I generally use something like this.

Cheap and easy, much as myself.

FunnyI have been using a similar recyclable shopping bag. The issue I keep getting holes in the bag from loose screws.

I just jam a bunch of cordless gear in one of those ridgid boxes. I can fit a drill, driver, hackzall, omt, flashlight, batteries, charger, bits,blades, wheels all in 1 medium box.

We use these boxes to organize hardware. http://www.durhammfg.com/catalog.html?id=44

Not the answer your looking for but works for me. One hand grabs toolbox, the other grabs the appropriate hardware box and off you go.

I use the Milwaukee canvas tote that came with my tools but I have many tstaks. I use the ones pinwheel linked
https://www.dewalt.com/en-us/products/gear-and-equipment/tool-storage/tstak-open-tote/dwst17809 for drywall knives, tray, tapes, and pads but it would be great for drill set up.

 

C/k out Harbor Fright (he he) just bought a rolling tool bag just to move drills etc $24 and change, they sell all sorts of tool bags I buy from them all the time for dedicated tool storage.

 

I really like this bag from Rockler

 

Hi guys! Sorry for bumping the old thread. Looking for a leather bag for my tools. I'd be grateful for any recs.

 

Read the thread...

 

Wise ass. Lol.

After going about ten years with the Fein 250q with the hardcase, I went through 3 newer ones that come with a large tote.

Can hold quite a few batteries and tools. Bad thing about bags are that when I need something at the bottom everything becomes disarray until I get around reorganizing. Pita.

 

On a more serious note, I like to use these bags for receipts, drill bits, and one for driver bits of all kinds.

I use some bags like that for various items so they don't get lost on the bottom
Husky has some, and I've seen them at Lowes as well.

I have a few Sure microphone bags I've been using for things, one are the smaller masonry bits, another spead bores.

A few years ago I eliminated my plumbing bag and put it all in a Rigid tool box , medium one. It's a game changer over a bag.

The only bag I'm using now is a large Makita one which holds all my taping tools, couple rolls tape, and the screwgun.
