[992door]

Looking something that i can put some tools in in the Tahoe. Was looking at this

Has anyone ever had one of these? If so what did you think about it? Or what else are you using for a portable box?

That's different, I like the tool bags of different sizes for ease and stowability and they're quiet. I had "Tank" bag that was about 24in x 6x6long. It was handy for long stuff. Military surplus and very well made, full length zipper.

For $400 I can buy a lot of Craftsman or Kobalt metal tool boxes.

This, I hate tool boxes for portability, tool bags are the way to go.

I found a 20" tool bag at Lowes for $30. Holds a lot of my tools. The bag is very

durable. http://www.lowes.com/pd_121145-1492-1LB-103-20-2_0__?productId=1205969&Ntt=tool+bag

I like tool bags as well and the Lowes AWP brand is durable.

To the OP, granted you can never have too many tools, thats a whole lot sockets and wrenches for a trail bag. Plus those aren't the only tools you will need. With a bag or box whatever you choose, get some of those nylon zipper bags they have at wally world for $3 to store your SAE or metric wrenches/sockets. Those too are durable and water resistant. They look similar to this.

I use a flat ammo can like this one:

Water tight but sturdy enough to be used as a jack base on soft ground. A bit on the heavy side, though when full...

Yea I got to thinking about that would be loud as crap. What would y'all suggest to keep sockets on in a tool bag? I am the type of person that I need to see that I have something missing or I will loose it. And if I just threw them all in a bag I would have a hard time keeping up with them

Socket rails or boxes

That is what I figured

I used the magnet socket thingys, I'm still using them with good luck. I love the dam things. Northern Tool has em.

Montazumas are really nice, but yes they can be noisy.

I carry a 64 piece Husky set that has a 1/4 and 3/8" drive handle and most of the sockets I'd ever need in a blow-molded case. I've been using it for 10 years or so now, and it's done me well. Everything has a place and I know when something isn't there. Hell, I go to it more in the shop than I do my rolling tool chest! Beyond that, a bag or box with all the random hand tools, hammers, breaker bars, pliers, saws, loctite and anti-sieze, lubes, screwdrivers, and everything else you need and you should be set. No, it's not elegant, but it works.
