All my live working stuff is that French made orange covered brand who's name I forget.

orangina,

orangina,

 

Nah just checked its "La Corona"

I've had a couple of Plano cases, great for service work

 

Still have this CK one, excellent but get's heavy..

 

Side-cutters I use Knippex and Bhaco, (I have some small'ish Knippex ones I've had nearly 20 years) 

 

Damn and here i am with the measley 1 tool box

 

Need to step my game up, then again you have to have 2 sets of screwdrivers and everything right? 

Was a bit sceptical at first but i use screwfixes own brand tool bag. Quality pretty good tbh

forge tool

well ive still got my forge steel side cutters and use them whenever i need to if i dont worry about forgetting about them i.e. building sites etc.

 

 

I never seem to be happy with my set up.

 

I've been using a fat max pouch for a few years with a belt for slinging it over my shoulder, fits most of what i need for call outs and most of the hand tools i need on installs.  But i'm thinking of moving to some kind of box arrangement with some organisation for holding a small selection of fixings and resistors etc.  Maybe something like a Raaco box with the draws in the bottom.

 

Everyone seems to have bags nowadays, i would like to move to a box but i don't want to be the odd one out

 

I can put stickers on a box though!

 

loll, you can also put stickers on a bag mate, im the opposite i think i already am the odd one out with still keeping a box

 

Nah just checked its "La Corona"

 

with the abv on the right corner

 

 

Sort of already deicded, on bahco cutters but still debating the bag - not a small decision

 

Like totoro had said maybe something with a small slot for resistors and fuses, then again my toolbox has already got that lol

Hey all, so the toolbox is looking a bit worse for wear so trying to see what to get as a good replacement

 

really thinking about getting a toolbag as its a lot easier to carry around so what are you lot using

 

Also same issue with the cutters, any good ones you've been using - thinking about the new bahco 160m side cutters

 

all

 

Draper expert 660 coz its got the storage bits on top, thats for install, got a tarty GPO bag for faults/servicing/lookin cool, then a bright yellow machine mart tool case for networking/fibre/telecoms stuff.

CK cutters in draper box, Knipex in Yellow box and GPO mini cutters in Tarty GPO bag. 

The correct amount of tools to have is N +1 )

No, I only have the bottom one, I live in the North, we're not minted.

yeah whatever

10Kg worth of hand tools plus bits and bobs in an old drill style toolbox and small length standard CK side cutters.

I live in the north too, if that matters...

 

Soft storage is not for me, I would replace mine for a similar sized toolbox if it broke.

Has to be boxes. You can't stand on a tool bag.

I use cardboard boxes, moving crates, all kinda stuff, just not disciplined like you guys , housing bashing is the way forward give it up!

Or try to squeeze as much as I can I to a twin makita drill box standard , screws spilled all inside to
