Thread: Tool Rolls etc - tool storage when travelling?

I use cheap tool bags from Bunnings - they have several to choose from. The soft tool bags are nice for transporting in a vehicle - they don't damage anything inside the car.

One of my friends purchased one of these the other day - it looks so good that I'll probably get one:

My tool roll started splitting so I bought a $10 soft bag from Bunnings, put the roll and some other bits in it, and stowed it in my rear drawers, out of sight. Much better than having a bulky box banging around taking up space. So yes, it's a good idea, I think.

I have 3x soft tool bags that I keep on the floor behind the front seats of my D2a (I have removed all the rear seating).
One bag has all the electrical odds and sods and various electrical tools, Another bag has all my hand tools in it and the last bag holds my big "Thumper" air compressor along with various air tools.
The bags are great as they are big enough to store plenty of tools in and yet light enough to pull out of the truck if needed.

Same as others,but I use over shoulder bags from disposals.They are very cheap and last ages.Keep the socket set separate.With separate bags they can fit in different places amongst your gear.
Also help with security,if the thieves drop in not much chance they will find all the smaller bags.With one big tool box it will be the first thing they grab and you will loose the lot.

Hmmm, I still use a tool box, but its pretty packed.

I’m a big fan of the tool roll and have a couple of them. I prefer them to a bag as it enables you to lay it flat and see all your tools and keep track of them - particularly handy in a service park.

In the back of the Defender I have a relatively small one, which is an early version of the Michelle’s Sacs one:

I think mine would be the same as the small one, but they make a large one as well:

I don’t carry a lot of tools so I like this one as it doesn’t take up much space.

When I need to carry a lot of tools, this is my go to roll:

Rally Tool Roll - Garys Motorsport Tyres

It’s big, holds heaps, has a couple of zipped pockets and comes in a carry bag so stuff doesn’t fall out. Handy when being chucked in and out of a service vehicle.

Although I don’t have one of his tool rolls, this bloke makes some good stuff. I’ve had a couple of bags made by him and the quality is good:

Canvas Tool Roll - Knife roll - chisel roll

Cheers,

these are well made and reasonably priced

I have one of the large green ones
