Festool systainer with bespoke tool insert - best toolbox I've ever had.
If your doing allot of running around and long walks to site in the city etc then rucksacks rule.

just my opinion

Open tote for me.

I've got open tote X 2, 2 bags, 1 box

Prefer open tote

Best of both with the shoulder strap. Got mine for £35 in B&Q sale.

Another vote for open tote, although it's a bit too easy to just toss bits and bobs in there at the end of a job, ends up getting pretty heavy by the end of the week

I prefer the tool box because it holds more and keeps any rain off the tools. I use a large Stanley Plumbers tool box.
When I say tool box, I mean cloth type with plastic base & reinforcing, - never a metal old fashioned box as they will damage door frames etc if you hit any.
I do some outside work, often external oil boilers, so I need a weatherproof box, unlike you gas guys who get nice easy dry work.
The open tote bag is handier though.

I used to have a Stanley toolbox but now I use dewalt tool bag, the best thing about the box was its good for supporting pipe for soldering which you cant really do with the bag... love the bag tho and prefer it over the box DEWALT Large Round Top Rigid Bag 20" Hand & Power Tool Toolbag 1-79-211 | eBay

Think it depends what your doing, Boiler service/Repair then bag is good, only small tools required, Plumbing & install work Box, tend to use more tools.

I'm mainly service/repair so have a small bag with all bits for that, and then a big toolbox for bigger heavier tools
