Well searching for toolbox didnt help, you get a billionteen hits for trailer toolboxes!
Wondering what sort of toolbox people carry their tools in while travelling? I know some people carry everything including a hoist, welders, and 200,000 piece stahlwille toolkits.... But Im lookin for somethin a touch smaller :)
I'm wanting to setup a toolbox/bag to leave in the trailer. Basic sized spanners, sockets, plyers, s/drivers, etc... I have electrical stuff and tape etc in a different bag.
My issue is all the metal toolboxes I've looked at are absolute RUBBISH quality, and I havent it Bunnings yet!!!
not a big fan of plastic boxes like this
(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MjY5WDM1MA==/$(KGrHqNHJBcE9rIkvO3cBPe7Q7Z1s!~~60_12.JPG)
So I'm lookin at 'toolbags'. maybe this size, maybe bit bigger...
EG:
1 x NEW Dewalt 24" Contractor Tool Bag $35.00
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330453285398 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330453285398)
(http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/3/1/5/2/1/6/webimg/349191912_tp.jpg)
It might be a bit easier to pack in nooks and crannys, not sure but anyone using them??
-
I bought one similar to that from Bunnings. I haven't used it in the CT, thats a good idea. <Edit> The Dewalt bag I mean.
Mines pushing 6 years old now and has had a fair bit of use and its still going reasonably well.
To my shame I am using a coles cooler bag to store the basic tools that I carry camping......................Its easy enough to jam into unusual shaped places.
Cheers

I use a soft tool bag in the toolbox on the Tracky. It's a little smaller than the 24" one you pictured, maybe 20". It's a Irwin brand from Bunnings & hold pretty much what you posted,ie, basic spanner set, pliers , bit & pieces to get out of gaol. I also put some extras like gas O rings, extra fuses etc. This bag is only for the camper & it stays in the front box all the time. So far I'm happy with the idea. They don't rattle, will settle into shape & can pack things on top of it. Seems to be easier to fit in the box than a hard tool box too. :cheers:
-
Those soft tool bags are a good idea and less likely to rub a hole in something on corrugations. Hmmm and I am off to Bunnings this arvo :)
-
I've gone the other way. I have a hard plastic tool box (similar to the one in the first photo). I use it at home then when travelling pack it into the floor space behind the back seat of the car. Works well for me.

Cheers Mr. This is wat I wanted to hear.. I'll go with one of the dewalt ones, I hope they are still good quality. Just not sure on size yet.
Thanks.

Hey Lost,
Had the same issue, so I talk myself into a combination kit:
There are a few different kits around, I picked my one up in a tool shop but I have since seen them in Bunnings.
http://www.sidchrome.com.au/product/7866/69-piece-38-drive-metric-af-combination-tool-set?newproducts=true (http://www.sidchrome.com.au/product/7866/69-piece-38-drive-metric-af-combination-tool-set?newproducts=true)
http://www.vektools.com.au/stanley-hand-tools/stanley-59pce-socket-plier-tool-kit-p-9009.html (http://www.vektools.com.au/stanley-hand-tools/stanley-59pce-socket-plier-tool-kit-p-9009.html)
Takes up about the same room as a laptop bag and each tool has its place so you know if you left any behind.
I think stanley and sidchrome are all made in the same factory these days.
-
I like soft bags as they don't waste space. At the moment I use a miners canvas tote I had lying around. I am keeping my eye out for a length of canvas from an old awning or similar (you see them on roadside chuckout sometimes) that I will simply pile all the tools on and roll them up. This will double as a ground sheet to use when undertakning any repairs and do away with the need for a dedicated bag.
-
G,day Lost i brought a sidchrome toolbox (set of metric and imperial spanners same with a socket set 1/4 and 1/2 met and imp all in ametal toolbox with room to spare for hammer chisels files circlip pliers, and a full set of pliers) the toolbox ,with the spanners and sockets was $200 with a dartboard cabinet i brought it from trade tools on the gippy highway ,next door to the Kimberly dealer i got a funny feeling they still have them at that price ,but i could be wrong cheers Graham
-
Those tote bags are great. I use this Snap on one http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=646915&group_ID=681882&store=australia&dir=catalog (http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=646915&group_ID=681882&store=australia&dir=catalog) for work and throw it in the camper when we go camping, you'll be suprised how much can fit in them, and for $60 its bloody good value. Ive had mine for over 6 yrs and its still going strong. In mine I put all my hand tools. It holds all my metric and imperial hand spanners from 6mm (1/4") - 25mm (1") , My 1/4" and 1/2" drive metric / imperial socket sets up to 32mm - 1 1/4". Pliers (circlip, wire crimps cutter, linemans etc) - , butane solder set, files, oil filters strap, selection of electrical joiners, tapes, loctites etc. hammers, pry bars, 12pc screwdriver set, electrical mini screw driver set, multi meter.......etc etc pretty much everything for roadside repairs. Only thing I cant fit is the 18v impact wrench and drill ;D they both get thrown in beside it!
-
I have a good steel toolbox my young bloke made in year 9 metal work that holds all my sockets and heavier bits and pieces.
My tool belt holds all my normal stuff, meter, various screwdrivers, 2 shifters, pliers , side cutters, crimp lugs and connectors plus a fair range of common allen keys.
Both containers live in the back of the Paj
-
I have a soft bag from bunnings also cost about $10-$15 from memory and also a large canvas tool roll made buy MSA which is good for keeping all the single hand tools and bits and pieces neat.

I find it annoying that all these companies spend millions on rubbish, but cant have 1 photo of the inside of their bags showing "all the pockets and poo inside the bag " on their websites.
-
Tool rolls are good, stop rubbing through anything, Also everything has a place and there's a place for everything.as mentioned, nothing gets left behind .
Tool bags aregoood, for easy packing and soft padding, but its easy to do as I did, over pack it andcant close the zip, so I finally settle on a small plastic tool box that I made a dedicated place for. That's just for the toolbox.can no longer fill it with extras, if the lid doesn't close it doesn't go in.it fits square, always know where it is,and nothing else gets packed in its place.
Works for me.
good luck!
-
these also dont look bad to put in the other bag, but at $100 they can smoke me.

Plenty of other options

I'd go for a couple of smaller ones, colour coded or at least with labels and chuck them in a larger bag like you suggested.
Some of the ones at places like Repco, SCA, or Autobarn don't look bad on quality/price for the larger bags if you have one near you.
Currently my gear just slides around in the back of my Commodore in the packages they came in, so I'm not much help on picking things.
If you're still thinking about a metal one you can find some better ones than many stores stock at garage sales if you have the time and inclination. I picked up a Geelong box (http://www.geelongsales.com.au/products_item.php?recordID=18) for $20 in near perfect condition. It had a can of expandable foam "leak" in it that I had to get out, took about 10 mins with some power tools to get it clean. I know you're not after something that big, but simple things like that can have people basically chuck away some nice gear and if you happen to be around at the right time you can get a bargain.

Been googling for them and other things on and off for a few days... I was plannin a trip to Bursons, Repco, Superrubbish, and others tomorrow on way to Pirahna offroad to look at.. stuff ;)

I have a hard bodied one that fits nicely in the drawer. I think i got it from bunnings, its a trojan brand and the compartments in the top are good for small bits and pieces. Sorry for the pic, just snapped it then in the dark and the rain

I figured you would've but thought I'd put the link in anyway.
I like looking at "stuff" to, wander around the camping, auto and off-road stores around town quite often if I have time to kill. Been half looking for a tool bag since the stuff I have slides around. Most of the SCA and similar aren't terrible for the price, but they aren't that flash if you aren't worried about the price. Don't even look at the cheap red metal toolboxes, blokes used to use them at boarding school to put drinks in the common fridge. They ended up in pieces more often than not, and I don't think anyone even had tools.

If after a tool 'roll' check out a 'kitchen room's same thing, loops or pockets for spammers/screwdrivers just a fraction of the price from the home stores.
I bough some cheapies, always good for the bits and pieces.

The link has a the mags and things in it. But I got the tool roll with tools for about 100$ delivered. The tools are of fair quality, but I mostly got it for the tool roll. I have added a few more tools and substituted out some of the tools for my preferred items. But you get the idea.

I use a couple of soft tool bags. Picked up a set of three bags, S, M & L, for $40 from Hardware House maybe 12 years ago, still going strong. I have a roll for my spanners, so one can always find the right spanner and never leave one behind.
What about the plastic cases with tools? If they were good enough quality would you be keen on one? All your sockets, drivers & spanners sorted, stored and secure.

Kinchrome make some good sets in hard plastic cases, we use them in the tractors on the farm. Fairly sure there are a few different ones with different tools.
They are similar to the bahco kit D4D showed.

I use one of these (http://www.sydneytools.com.au/shopexd.asp?id=11051&bc=no) from Hitachi. Two good zip-up side pockets, a spanner roll, lots of tool pockets, and the top can either be used as a seat or a place to put the loose nuts and screws that otherwise get lost on the ground!

Love the idea of the soft bags/ rolls etc, but the minister for finance says we have enough tool boxes in the shed already. I normally just repack the steel cantilever type with tools/ spares for the trip, and put it with the .303 ammo box that has the compressor and straps/ chains right up the front of the triton tray. Flat on top for packing the food boxes, weight over the axle.

For general day to day tools I use ammunition cases.
Been using the same ones for 40 years, cheap, waterproof, airtight and strong.
No rust on any tools in all the years I have been using them.

Great link GG. I've been after a good canvas tool roll for a while now - this one looks like it will fit the bill, and is priced reasonably.

So I'm lookin at 'toolbags'. maybe this size, maybe bit bigger...
EG:
1 x NEW Dewalt 24" Contractor Tool Bag $35.00

This bag we used on the Tolmie weekend, and fitted clothes for 1 adult and 1.5 kids in it nicely.
Way too big for tools!

This Stanley (http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Stanley-Tool-Kit-132-Piece.aspx?pid=222143&menuFrom=80406#Description) set seems reasonably priced. Normally $279 on special for $179 at Supercheap Auto.

G'day,
I use a canvas tool bag I proudly bought from a "canvas bloke" at a camping show about 15-18 years ago. Wouldn't be without it. I bought it because the metal one I had was too noisy in the back of my station wagon, so I thought it might do the trick. It passed with flying colours, no rattles and didn't slide around scratching or belting into anything. It's about 14" long, and they do hold a heap of gear.

Bought a Russian Tank Drivers bag at the Corowa military show .... I think it was 5 bucks .
Basically a canvas bag with pockets for grenades , a knife and spare ak47 ammo ! !
Smells like gear oil and kero ....

After the tools got pinched out the back of the navara, I bought one of these to go in the drawers.
It fits perfectly, and I have a small plastic stanley tool box for all the random little bits and pieces. Great kit for the money IMO

I've used quite a few beehive tool bags at work over the years. Very good quality, but you pay the $$$ for them

I still have my beehive vinyl toolbag that I bought in 1999/2000.
Even after years of FIFO work the bag is still in great condition, unfortunatly the velcro stopped sticking many years ago and now it's on the shelf in the shed with all of my welding leathers stored in it and an old belt holding it closed...
