Tool bag

[JustinJG]

What does everyone keep their tools, parts, supplies, etc in for working on their machines? Both at their house or out on site? Have a tool bag you recommend?

I use a old school Platt tool case and just love it!!!

A few years ago at Christmas, I got a tool bag in a set that had a Reciprocating saw, circular saw, drill, and flashlight that all used the same battery. I have been using that for a portable tool bag, and it has served me well.

I have one like this:

It's heavy, but everything is organized, etc.. Definitely not for someone just working on machines at home though..

Most of my tools end up on the garage floor. I keep them there because that's where I expect them to be when I need them.

LOL!!

I didn't have a dedicated arcade tool bag until I started working on other people's cabinets.
I now have an open arcade tool bag from Home Depot.
It's already fulls so I'll probably switch to the bigger rolling bag that I already have.

Tool bag for me start to get heavy after a while. They are harder to stack on shelves.
So I am a tool box kind of person..

I actually have my stuff spread out between two tool boxes, I keep a tape measure, multi meter, soldering iron, solder, flux, tip cleaner, a long jumper wire with alligator clips on both ends, crt discharging tool(long screw driver), electrical tape, nut drivers, screwdrivers of all kinds, small eye glass drivers, assorted bits security bits ect, magnet, small level, hot glue gun, duct tape.

In my other toolbox I keep extra capacitors, transistors, diodes, extra electrial parts like that

Here is some good videos that talk about starting your first arcade tool box.

B&W Rolling case. Just put on new wheels last weekend,
after many years the old bearings were worn and rusted.

Completely not arcade related pic of my cat:

Who else thought this was another Billy Mitchell thread?

Don't have a tool bag. 1/5 of the garage is a tool bench.

That is offensive to tool bags everywhere.

 

[FrizzleFried]

I am sorry... but every time I read this thread title I think...

Me too. Craftsman benches - I have way too many tools for a box

4 boxes, 2 totes
1 Mechanical Box (need to take a game apart)
1 Electrical Box (Big E - Power stuff)
1 Electrical Box (Small E - Avionics, connectors, arcade, all separated)
1 Screwdrivers - Everything from regular, Phillips, security, torx, etc

the 2 Tote boxes have a bunch of parts in them. Which are seldom if EVER what I need. I usually grab some common stuff (5 v regulators, etc) when I have to buy one, because the shipping is just insane.

Then the other stuff. Makita Driver Drill, Hakko solder / desolder, B&K 467. I could fill a truck.
