Servicing tool kit/bag?

[macka09]

hi guys. I’m just wondering whether most of you guys have a separate set of tools for servicing or whether you just take in your standard tool box? I haven’t done much servicing and my tool box at the moment seems to cover most jobs I do. I just don’t want to be dragging everything in with me if I can help it. Cheers.

Ha ha ha. It’s covering a logo.

It must be company logo, I can still see a small word that says Makita 😉

Ha ha. I don’t mind advertising that logo mate😉😉

@Harvest Fields
What did that Makita bag originally hold or is it a tool bag?

 

[Harvest Fields]

It’s a tool roll mate. That’s it’s purpose and sold that way.

These look handy, about £80 from amazon.

Too much 😱

The day I spend that much on a tool bag will be the day something very important and necessary heals over!

For me best is a backpack which is easy to carry on back so always hand are free for any purposes- holding a beer 🙂

Wow, I have a new fetish, tool bag voyeurism?

Got me one of those today from screw(u)fix. Forty squids. Looked at the veto (mate has one) and it is noticeably better but is not and cannot ever be 6 times better than the stanley. 6 times!! I don't stint on tools but veto price is crazy.

Zips give out on them

I'll report back .

New zip £5.00 ish?

Guy at my local laundrette does clothing alterations, he'd probably charge a tenner or so fitted. Fine with me.

Can you fit your analyser and all tools in it?

I was looking at this bag before I bought the monument gas engineer one and I'm not overly impressed with it.

I like the look of the quick access truck sack but there are no photos of the inside.

 

[WC1]

No worries, I'll take some snaps when I'm home.

Old School12" Bahco for scale!
Pockets all over, middle bit with tool pouches pops out.
Very happy! 🙂😀

Can it fit all my tools in - No

Why do they use black material?
Like searching for tools in dark areas?
They should use more yellow, I've ditched good tool bags because I get pished off trying to find stuff down the bottom.

Loaded the new Stanley bag up today for its first outing. Both it and the veto seem to lack a chest strap which you need on a heavy rucksack- and it was heavy, so after 20 mins on, the hard base tray tended to dig into the lower back. I might get a chest strap put on it or put a bit of padding on it - you know what us soft southern plumbers are like... 😵

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Veto comes with padding 😀

Very true, seems a bit nuts when you see what some people are willing to spend, £30k+ vans baffle me too.

 

[WC1]

Reporting back: all good, fully recommend, pull the straps tight and it sits well even fully loaded. Looks like I've got the price difference- an extra 200 quid to spend tonight!!! Luverly 😛😉

Some while ago I bought a Wera SH1 plumkit. Good tools but the wallet holding them deteriorated, or rather the elasticated loops did. On the search for a suitable replacement wallet I pushed the boat out and invested in a Kruk Garage tool roll. I use it primarily for boiler servicing/repair. It holds the usual tools plus my smoke pen, small hand pump and pressure gauge,

butane jet torch, (great for lighting smoke pellets) etc. Things like smoke pellets, multimeter, sockets and other bits and pieces in the zipped pouch.

I'm not in the trade but I use Dexter trousers and Clip on two "pockets" of tools. Each pocket contains tools for different jobs and I just swap them . I am not being paid and forgive the advertising.
