Have a Stanley 1 a bit smaller than gas and. Multi level looks a bit like 1 4 going fishing. Can fit analyser, fluke test leads, multimeter and variety of tools for service repair boiler work.
Could b a bit tougher but I suppose I hav it a year r 2, so not too bad

Toolbox has a distinct advantage of also serving as a hop-up
I have a Stanley Fatmax toolbag simply was half price at the time so got it, it has about 10 pockets outside and 4 inside which is just about enough, tools go inside the zip compartment, stuff like ptfe, electric tape, cleaning strip etc fit snug into outside pockets. Bag also has a solid plastic base double stitching throughout, comfortable handle and a shoulderr strap. Also a little clear pouch on outside to slide your business card into incase you forget your own number

I have the veto pro pac tech lc, by far the best bag I've ever had. May upgrade to the XL soon

Got one of these, fantastic piece of kit, loads of pockets inside and out but I only paid £60

My FGA/Manometer and other goodies are all in a Dewalt ds150 waterproof and you can drive over it with the van View attachment 25337

Is that speaking from experience of driving over it with a van?

Technician?s Tool Case Plus ? C.K Magma
I do service/repair and cannot fault this. Keeps everything organised and easy to find no rooting to the bottom of your box/tote to dig out a 8mm spanner.

They're good, each of my guys started with one of those, only problem - they fall apart after about 18 months
They've now gone over to totes and dewalt boxes.

I use one of these for my gas servicing kit, then for installs I've got a bahco tool box I picked up from Selco for £7, and another bahco for tools I don't use very often but still want to carry on the van.

I've had the magma for a year now, hopefully it'll last longer than six months. It certainly feels like it's got plenty of life left in it, in any case it was only £35 when it packs up I'll just get another.

It was the sewing from the case to the zips that failed on all of them, rest is still in good order.

Not my personal experience but I researched the tough box range theres a few video reviews of them being driven over, towed behind a boat and such

I used one much the same from RS for around 5yrs, got too heavy and didn`t have the shoulder strap so I changed. And the fact customers used to call me Dr. Saniflo! lol

They do look good but the price doesn't! £150 plus on a tool bag is madness to me.

when I was doing in maintenance in the high st or shopping centres I use a wheelie shopping basket like the ones in B&Q

no but when my spirit level caught a womans leg I enjoyed rubbing it better ha ha

 

[tolly]

I bought the Veto open tote xxl one, sent it back as its far too heavy, great quality but just weighs too much when I transferred all the tools from my fatmax open tote over to it.

Just got a JCB tool system from b&q £97 much bigger and cheaper than dewalt version.
