what do you carry your tools in? (ideas and pictures)

[9Mike2]

I also carry some of that "Flex=Shield" Tape, it works great on hoses as long as you don't build too much pressure..

TOOLS I don't need no stinking tools. LOL
Actually carry multiple bags. I'm a tool whore and carry more than I probably should.
I try to prep my vehicles ahead of time so I don't have to work on them away from my shop. But that doesn't always work
I always buy quality tools for my shop but in my jeep/trucks/motorcycles I carry Harbor Freight. If you loose or someone steals them no tears. I haven't had a catastrophic tool failure yet to make me upgrade.

Never forget the Duck Tape!

I use a Lincoln Electric back pack. They're pretty heavy duty and have lots of compartments. It's hardly fool proof but any one looking in my Jeep would think it's a "back pack"

if you commonly wheel with others, you may want to carry extra tools you may not need but they might..

Soooooo True!

I've got a hammer, a prybar, 2 vice grips, a cordless screwdriver, and a roll of duct tape. MY beleif is that set of tools can fix anything. If it can't, I have a BIC lighter and good insurance !!

I'm in the process of buying old American made Craftsman/Snap-on/Mac stuff because the new Craftsman/Kobalt stuff is JUNK. Those squared off 10/12 point sockets will ruin your fasteners. I'm still debating on a box for assembling this collection, but since a theft I've been stuck with junk for my travel kit and that's about over.

You can't have too many tools.

i found a pelican style case from Harbor freight and separated the tools with pencil bags from Walmart in the school supply section. This setup had worked perfect for me!!!!

I have a Bacho Tool Set that comes with in own case. This case fits perfectly in the Decked Drawers.

My Irwin Plier tool roll:

And all miscellaneous tools and tool rolls get thrown into a GORUCK Kit Bag:

Looks like a great setup. I am a big fan of tool bags.

I just bought a Bucket Boss Super tool roll. It's been great so far. It holds all my regular hand tools. I also carry a separate duffel bag with all my recovery gear, extra fasteners, tape, wire, lubricants and such, lightweight jackstand and that sort of thing.

I am never organized enough to keep my tools in the box they come in. Bag is the way to go. Might have to pick through sockets to find that unicorn socket but a couple tool bags and your set!

I use a Stanley tool bag. It packs down small and prevents things from rattling. Everything in the picture fits in the bag except for the belts, hatchet, hammer, prybar, and black combination wrench.

I like the fact that you carry flare wrenches.

Can I get a picture?

Don't forget a roll of shop towels and a tube of hand cleaner.

I have found with Flare Nut Wrenches I have had all brands , Snap-on was the best at breaking louse and not rounding off the nuts by far. This is were I would spent the extra for them, as to replace those things in the boonies is a big pain....

Good eye! They are rarely used, but indispensable when needed and they don't weigh much.

I run Toolpak backpacks.
I really love them because they have a ton of slots for your tools, and I've found that they are pretty easy to customize, using a stitch ripper.
Also, most of the compartments have a water resistant cover that lays over the tools, so you can lay it out on the roadside and kinda protect your tools a bit while you work.

The hassle with the early Jeep Cherokee XJ is that it is half metric and half English, so you have to carry both sets.
