I was wondering what everyone uses to carry hand tools to the job. I currently have a cheap plastic toolbox with a tray, where I store an assortment of screwdrivers, pliers, holesaws etc…but I really need something different. I love the looks of those Veto packs, but not sure if I want to spend the money. Does anyone use them or something similar?
I use a Husky tool tote for my hand tools. It works and is cheep.

I have started packing a lot of things in L-Boxx’s for our out of town jobs where we have to take a lot of tools and fasteners.
The biggest thing I don’t like about my basic toolbox is I have to about dump it out to find everything that’s in there..I have a pretty good assortment of electrical and plumbing tools, plus chisels, nail sets, wrenches, small prybars etc.
I have a husky bag for my hand tools.best way to carry those type of tools.

There’s lots of sizes and options with the tool totes like Ron posted, and don’t forget about those bucket bosses.
Funny I just got a couple new systainers for my hand tools. I will post a pic of them tomorrow. I think they will work out well.
I also use a husky tote like what rons uses. However I am thinking of making the switch to what will uses and that is the ridgid hard case with wheels. I just will wait till i make the trip over to the states to buy it. over here in canada it is double the price plus some.
i have 2 differetn bucket bags set up, a husky brand one for siding tools, a carhartt one for general use tools.. from there 2 husky electricians bags for my interior trim hand tools
heres a tip, dont fart in a space suit
I have been trying to find a good tool bag or box for years.
Seams no matter what I get I have to dig or dump everything.
The Husky bags are pretty nice but they are heavy before you even put any tools in it. I am using a big rolling box now and have a love hate relationship with it. Nice when I get it to the job but takes 2 of us to load into the truck.I use a Husky tool tote for my hand tools. It works and is cheep.
I use the same type of bag….just a bit more messy.

Love the Knipex you’ve got in that bag. I’ve got one in my box, awesome tool!
i did have a veto pro pac that a buddy gave me years ago, it held my trim hand tools but he asked for it back a little over a year ago. they are very very well built definitely worth the money

I have the large CLC open top tool bags. I can’t work out of closed top or zip up bags.
I have several CLC bags. On for plumbing, one for electrical, one for tile, etc.

Nice when I get it to the job but takes 2 of us to load into the truck.you can’t turn it around and pull it on to the truck bed or van bed? that would deter me from getting the ridgid rolling cart, if i were to load up on all my hand tools.

I have a LBOXX-4 with all my drywall/flooring/cement tools in that I use and I also use a Bucket Buddy that has been kicking around for over 30 years.
The Veto bags look good but yea they do cost a pretty penny.“If you don’t pass on the knowledge you have to others, it dies with you”
