I have just a standard tool bag that I fill my most used tools, but have seen some new tool rolls and waterproof pelican tool boxes recently.
Anyone had luck with either of these?
What is your top tool recommend to bring when you travel away from the shop?
It's been a while for me but we'd launch with 1/4 and 3/8 ratchet/socket set with extensions & wobblers, battery powered drill(Milwaukee) with drill bit and driver bit set , stubby wrench set, Hex/allen set or bits, stubby snapon screw driver(ratcheting). Mirror, dikes, torches, needle nose pliers, safety wire pliers(that barely worked)safety wire, speed tape. Of course depending on the job we'd throw in more. Once in a while we'd launch a second 172/82/cherokee (or whatever we had) for bigger items like jacks/specialty tools/wood.
Those were good times. Miss those days, pushing paper now.
