More and more lately, my work has been taking me out of the shop and into c ustomer sites to diagnose / repair / modify their machinery and control sys tems.
I have been using this tool bag
The main Husky bag alone weighs well over 50 pounds, and I sometimes have t o carry it substantial distances. (background info: I'm pretty much the sam e age as Gunner, but I've NEVER done a one-handed pullup. My body is gettin g older and creakier every day and I don't anticipate my schlepping ability to be improving any time soon.)
So, I've started looking for something better. Ridgid has this http://goo.g l/0jU31h which has a few other components that stack and lock on top of it (scroll down the page to see them) which is a very nice idea - I could put the main stuff in the main box and more job-specific tools into the stack-o ns. Also, having it come apart like that (and the latching looks very secur e) is a big plus since I would have to lift the whole thing into the car at once.
The problem with the Ridgid stuff is that the boxes are just plain boxes. O ther than maybe a tray, there are no pockets or compartments for anything. I do electronics - I have a half-dozen wire cutters, a half dozen strippers , three or four crimpers and a whole bunch of other stuff (some of it prett yu delicate) that HAS to be organized, or I'd spend half my time looking fo r tools.
So... Any suggestions? My back thanks you in advance.
