Here is what I use. I should go see and buy a couple. Hopefully they aren't discontinued. I love it and people stopped complaining that my tool box would scratch their floor.
I would never buy a veto, way too expensive at 350$ or whatever. Mine is the same principal, 70$ at princess auto. It has zippered pouches for small things.
I used that CLC tool bag for a couple of years and I liked it. I tried out the Milwaukee ultimate backpack. I like the backpack it has as many pockets as the CLC bag but the pockets are better. I have enough tools and am bad at keeping it in the pockets so for the big compartment the CLC was better. I would love a couple more milwaukee backpacks and double up on some tools and be able to have dedicated tool bags for finish, rough, service, and remodel. That way I could have a lot less tools and weight in a bag but in not rich.
I had a CLC that my employer bought me and it only lasted about 4 years before the seams started to fall apart and when tools started disappearing from my bag, I determined that the 5" hole in the bag was going to cost me a lot more than a 250 dollar bag if I didn't rectify it asap. Love the veto bag. The bottom is hard plastic so it never soaks up water if I set it down somewhere wet.
I used to take a 5 gallon bucket, put the lid on, take the handle off drill holes and put it on the bottom. Stand it on the lid. Cut an arch in it about 4 inches up about 3/4 the way to the top.
Instant soldering bucket. Sit on it keep tools under you, work & move.
I got this bag for free when I opened a cash account at a supply house. It feels sturdy. Now I just have to figure out what I’m going to use it for. It won’t be an every day bag but a specialty tool bag.
Well i finnaly pulled the trigger on it, came home from work with this in my backyard. I didnt want them to leave it in the driveway so i requested it to be "tossed" into my backyard lol
Looking forward to filling it up at lunch break tomorow.
Nice! You can sign up for Canada Post Flex delivery. I have all my big packages rerouted to the post office. Its free. Stupid carriers are too stupid to drop things in my parcel box. The front porch delivery is excellent for my slum neighbors.
A good fordable dolly that I use is from costco but there are sold under many brand names. The wheels are big and I've carried all my stuff on jobs even carrying full toilets.
Don’t laugh but I just use 2 5 gal buckets for my hand tools and the boxes that things like my sawzall, right angle drill, etc came in - I really only do res service so I never need much on 1 job - I get what I need from the buckets and just carry that in my hands/pockets or on rare times a 3rd 5 gal bucket - I absolutely hate bringing in tools I won’t be using because I have too much tools to bring them all in for no reason and it cuts down on the number of things that could possibly be left at the customers house.
I never know where ill be working and what ill need, and i dont have a vehicle at the moment ( huge pain in the ass) So i needed somthing i can put all my stuff in. This bag has more room then i thought. The one side will have room for a torch, paste, solder, abs cutters, ratchet cutters, copper cutters, hack saw, hammer etc..then a whole other side with pockets. Im satisfied.
