organising vans

View the thread, titled "organising vans" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

Because you need at least 4. No matter how big or brightly coloured they may be, they are the most elusive thing in the tool box. It is like you open the box and they all go walkabout. Somehow they always find their way back to the box again when it is time to go.
mine dont,numptys on site
 
agreed with the tapes, also as soon as you get power cords of drills extention leads and vac's with in 2 feet of each other they tangle to ****
 
Finally got round to giving the van a quick tidy up, still not perfect but getting used to it now, need some better lighting and some insulation/carpet on the sides/roof for sure as I'll be sleeping in it for the Wales rally in September.

Are your power tools safe there , no strong box
 
I used to install vehicle security systems for a living, you could say that it's secure :wink_smile:
 
Id invest in a strong box if you dont take anything of value out the van when its not in use, when it comes to the gear we use its practially all of it. I'd also advise anyone to pick up a secur-i-disk tax disk holder for their van as well, couple of quid off the net. Had some fool burst my quater light windown to steal a disk with a few months tax on it. The mind wonders.
 
My humble little van is put to shame by most in this thread. Its does fine for what I need though 🙂





 
Nice neat n tidy R.oak , Ive just bought a new van and been that busy that cant get chance to rack it out and its doin ma head in as like everythin in its place, also no roof rack so need one,,

I know what you mean, i made sure I had my ply lining and racking for when i got the new van as I knew id hate not having it sorted. The van arrived so i opened the ply lining kit to get started and some of it was damaged! I had to wait two days for a replacement! GRRR!

All sorted now though 🙂
 
I mean the linnings done but just havent racked it out so most things just on floor its driving me mad but im too busy to take couple hrs off to do it,
