tool storage

We all have trucks and at one point or another you have probably had your tools in the truck. I have mine split between a tote tray and tool belt. now that the snow is falling (and my snowlblowers are old 1980 toro and 91 mtd) they need constant wrenching. I have my sockets, 1/4'' and 3/8'' deep, ratchets, battery impact, flashlight, wrenches, ball peen hammer and a kit of spare nuts and bolts along with even more tools and parts (believe me, when all of the sudden the self propell stops propelling at 2am its nice to have this stuff) any way i want a nice looking quality box or bag, just curious to see what others are using or any ideas. thanks

 

toolbox

they work wonderiforously for me

 

I have a toolbox on my truck that is awesome for keeping tools and other items secure while freeing up space inside my truck.

 

Here's mine - I wanted a box that I could put sideways so still be able to carry 6' long stuff in the bed. It was also a lot cheaper (and bigger) than an X-plate box.

 

I use one of the newer plastic ammo cans, still water tight and able to hold everything.

 

I use an old RC transmitter case like this:

I have four of these scattered around different pickups. They are great for holding wrenches, sockets, ratchets, etc. Holds a lot of tools and keeps them organized so you can grab them quick without sorting through different trays, compartments, etc.

 

I was lookin at the montezuma ones, they are nice pricey tho.Toolstoragewarehouse.com - Rolling tool box provides storage for metal lathes - Tool Storaget
