Here is my attempt to answer a super open ended question in case someone is searching. Someone let me know if i missed anything.

Affordable/Tough/5 Year Warranty


For cheaper versions i will mainly recommend Husky they are decent and they fall under a 5 year warranty which is usually easy to have honored.

Personally if i am doing something quick at home i like waist aprons instead of belts. You can get them for real cheap like under $1. There are the super basic ones like these from menards that cost 84¢ and have 3 pockets. but my favorite is this one which has 13 pockets and two hammer loops.

If you are just doing stuff at home or just need a handful of tools at hand then small pouches are your best bet. Something like this 9 pocket pouch from Husky can hold a surprising amount of stuff for only $10 you can upgrade to a larger single pouch for $20. All These black tool aprons/tool belts come with a 5 year warranty from husky.

For carrying lots of crap and actual work you should get the suspender set up. The Husky does have some ok stuff such as the 13 pouch electricians belt and the 17 pouch carpenters belt. Make sure you move the hammer holder to the side or jogging down the stairs will make your hammers handle hit you in the balls.

Fancy/Real Leather/2 Year defect lifetime stitching/rivet warranty


Occidental Leather Work makes some awesome Made in America Leather tool belts. They have a two year manufacturers defect warranty but will replace burst stitching or rivets for lifetime of the belt.You can find these at local supply stores but they are not carried in big box stores. You can use their website to locate a local supplier. I will be using Amazon Links for these because prices at local supply stores will be all over the damm place also it lets you see reviews but check your supplier it will probably be cheaper local. Remember these are natural leather products so you will have to maintain them. You can follow the links to check reviews but they all seem to run around 4.5/5 stars or better. Get a size bigger than they recommend its a common complaint

These tend not to come with the suspenders so you will have to buy them separate. They go for around $110 online.

The tool bags themselves vary a lot in size. You can also buy bags separate so you can customize it to a certain extent and they tend to for between $250-$300. The large electrician belt set goes for $285 and the framers belt set goes for $288.

The separate pouches go for between $80-$110 such as the Drywall pouch for $84 and the Fatlip tool pouch that runs about $110

Fancy/Modular/Painfully expensive/ Lifetime defect warranty.


Diamondback Toolbelts is a Made in America of 1000D Nylon in 3 layers so its very durable. They have a lifetime warranty from defects of any kind. Much like Occidental Leather they are not sold in big box stores. They do have their own online site but you can also look for local sellers using this but there are not many.

These ones as well tend not to come with the Suspenders which cost between $40-$115

So the neatest thing is that you can build your own tool-belt on their website. It allows you to pick whatever various pouches you want.

They also have trade specific toolbelts. Such as Drywaller belt for $425.00, Master Finsher Carpenter for $420.00, Ultimate Framer for $440.00, and the Electrician for $430.

Accessories


A very good idea is getting suspenders. You can use brand specific ones or just grab some cheap ones from Home Depot or Menards just check reviews. The padded ones though will save you some shoulder strain if you are a punk ass bitch who wants working shoulders at 50 like me.

I also highly suggest getting a drill holster. Its exactly what it sounds like and makes life so much freaking easier. These generic ones cost $10, they are ok and color match Husky brands but the clips kinda hard to work. They also have brand name ones like this Dewalt one for $15, they also have Occidental Leather ones for $42.00 and Diamonback drill holsters for $65.00

u/chopstickprincess · 3 pointsr/organization

Im thinking various sized pencil cases (hard or soft) for a lot of one thing and a label.
This beauty organizer might be of good use:
Roll-Up Organizer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C9CCLPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IPhACb0E8RNZG
Jewelry: Alezywels Hanging Jewelry Organizer Bag (56-Pockets) Dual-Sided, Thick Oxford Fabric, Zippered Storage, Clear PVC Plastic Windows, Roll-Up, Portable Travel, Rings, Earrings, Necklaces (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JBX7YNB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2ShACb6SP6QXD
But you can find similar things specifically for tools as well like this: 32 Pocket Tool Roll Organizer - Wrench Organizer & Tool Pouch - Wrench Roll Includes Pouches for 10 Sockets - Roll Up Tool Bag for Electrician, HVAC, Plumber, Carpenter or Mechanic - From Rugged Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F232C3X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WRhACb888AQQ5

There's a lot of different 'roll up organizer' things, typically labeled for different purposes like beauty, arts and crafts, tools, jewelry. If one that's labeled to be used for jewerly but it looks like it will work best for you then i say try it out. In my experience (but i don't have nearly as many tools nor as much experience), if it's labeled for tools it probably has too many pockets and hiding places. I'll put something in a pocket perfectly meant for this one specific thing but then spend 10 minutes looking in every pocket trying to find it. Which is why oddly enough a beauty, travel, or jewelry organizer works better for me since the pockets tend to be clear so i can see where everything is.

u/pnut · -7 pointsr/femalefashionadvice

I am a big fan of the bosch tool bag

It’s got great structure and sturdy construction. It’s not too heavy, but holds it’s shape well when I need to tote around a cordless drill and circular saw. There are just enough compartments for measuring tapes and bits and blades, without being overly cluttered with pouches. The hardware is minimal but high quality, handles are comfortable, and the shoulder strap is adjustable if you need to have it crossbody so your hands are free to carry a ladder or lumber.

For this price point, it really is the best you can get! Highly recommend.

u/Bafflepitch · 3 pointsr/minimalism

I own a 95'ish year old house and have to do work on it pretty regularly. Other than fixing broken stuff, my main focus is on energy savings. Here is my advice about tools. About 90% of the work I do on the house is because I enjoy it.

Tools are expensive and some you will not need to use frequently or may only need to use once. Borrow them, Rent them (Home Depot or other tool rental), or purchase and sell afterward. You can try to buy them used. For getting supplies to your house you can rent a truck cheap from Home Depot or find a place that delivers.

There are some tools you'll want to buy because you either need them for every project or you need them to be available quickly. You don't need to buy the best tools out there but the minimum you need to get the job done.

I spent $40 on my Ryobi circular saw. If I used a circular saw all the time, then I can see getting an expensive one. I use it a few times a year and it is absolutely perfect to get my work done.

If possible, I also recommend avoiding battery powered tools. Not only are corded tools cheaper, but you don't have to worry about the battery going bad because it is not being cycle regularly, or ensuring that it is charged, or hoping you get the job done before the battery dies.

For storing tools I recommend the Husky Tool Bags. In my experience, they are cheaper, more durable, and more convenient than the cheap, plastic toolboxes. Since they are cheaper you can get more smaller ones to segregate your tools. (e.g. I have a small one that is just my electrical tools).

I work in a chem plants and most of the tradesmen here use them. Home Depot will have them cheap and will sometimes have combos of them cheap.

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-8-in-and-20-in-Tote-Bag-Combo-76636N09/202018019

http://www.amazon.com/HUSKY-Tool-Utility-Sack-Combo/dp/B00EBZC80K

For paint and paint supplies, pay attention to your local Sherwin-Williams. You can sign up for an account there and get 10% off all purchases. They will also periodically do a 30% off weekend. Also, spend time learning how to paint correctly and how to correctly clean your paint tools. Your paint tools should last a very long time.

Now, I don't have much experience with Harbor Freight, but you can get cheap tools there as well. They might not last long, but can be a cheap option to get a job done.

Home Depot and Lowes will show in store pricing on their websites and view current inventory. It makes price shopping really easy. For some tools you can compare it to Walmart and Amazon, too. Also, watch for coupons from Lowes. I know the post office use to have a decent coupon for Lowes in the mail forwarding envelope you can get from a post office.



u/PiracyDead · 1 pointr/Tools

Not exactly going to answer your question but . . .

Recently got a Veto LC and love it. So much better than the old CLC bag. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JB9WTL4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Vy7DDbJZKF4WV)

Highly recommend spending the money . Its worth it.

I will say it was a bit of a trick getting the same amount to fit but now that everything has its place finding what I need is night and day better.

u/drMonkeyBalls · 1 pointr/ITdept

For Tone gen, Fluke makes the gold standard. They also have a cheaper version.
You didn't mention a probe, so maybe you are looking for a cable certifier?. That's super expensive though. if you just have to test that there is continuity and not certify the cables, you can use this, or this if you want to look like a pro.

As for Screwdrivers, Wiha makes the best screw drivers, hands down. I have this set for working on electronics & laptop repair. Magnetic tool-kits are fine. This isn't the 80's anymore. There aren't too many magnetically sensitive items inside a computer anymore. especially with the advent of SSD drives.

As for a toolbox, depending the work, I prefer a tool bag or pouch.

Good luck, hope that helps. What helped for me when I started was to go to harbor freight and just get an assortment of tools. As I worked I slowly replaced the stuff I used all the time with quality gear, and didn't have to burn myself buying expensive tools and gear that I would never use.

u/calliopeReddit · 3 pointsr/Veterinary

>Toolboxes

Yes! When I did relief work, I used a small tool bag that I called my "kit bag" -- and if I was doing housecalls I know that a larger toolbox in the car would have been great......but don't get something so big that it will be heavy to get in and out of the car all the time. I think something like this or this might be very useful - it might look weird because it's not "medical", but it would be pretty flexible, portable, and easy to clean.

u/bridget1989 · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Get a decent but semi cheap tool set. I have this one on my wishlist, because it's pink.

For cheaper, this screwdriver set is $6.68.

Good luck! Moving out is exciting. Thanks!

u/lucime · 2 pointsr/AskCulinary

Does she have a tool roll? http://www.amazon.com/McGuire-Nicholas-22007-Canvas-Tool-Roll/dp/B00004TQC7 is the basic idea, just a roll of cloth with pockets for knives, tongs, peelers, etc. to be put in and rolled up with strings to secure it. An easy way for her to carry her own tools wherever she works. I've sewn a couple for chef friends of mine, the best dimensions seem to be a bit over a foot tall (taller than a chef knife is long) with pockets two inches wide and durable, washable, fabric.

Good luck!

u/Stephjephman · 1 pointr/DnD

For anyone interested, this is what we went with:

Husky 14 in. Rolling Tool Tote https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LT9OTOY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mncozbCA40JVQ

Heavy duty, durable, and we were able to go check it out at home depot. It fit all of his stuff well and he loved it. Thanks for the help!

u/Sobia6464 · 1 pointr/msp

Ended up researching into a bag and eventually found one I think will work well.

I will link to everything I've found on amazon. I have found others on our distributors website. Hopefully this will help others put together something as well!

Bag

SATA Adapter

Toolkit

Toner/Fox and Hound

Small LED Flashlight

Velcro Wire Ties - Zip ties are awful

Network Kit

External HDD

Analog Phone - For testing Fax Lines mainly

There's more, such as cables and things, but everyone should be OK with figuring that out for yourselves. Total the kit (with cables and stuff included) is only about $370.91 per technician.

Hope this helps someone!

u/WanboNI · 4 pointsr/EDC

Dude, you should see my Amazon wish list......full of Wera stuff, but yeah, my wallet cringes each time I start browsing Wera. Really want these and this and these (although I have the same set, just with less bits) and these and this and this to put it all in..........that's like half the wishlist 😆

u/Omap · 4 pointsr/HomeImprovement

I like the rothco bags you can get on amazon.

They're cheap, and unlike the HF "voyager" bags they are pretty well made, cotton canvas with thick zippers. I much prefer cotton, way more durable than the thin nylon and won't separate at the seams. I've been using this one for my work tools for ages and it's not ripped at all. Plus you can throw them in the wash to clean them.

Occy Bags

this is what I and about 4 other guys at work use.. I got a lot of flak for them at first, but then those dudes turned around and bought themselves some. They are very comfortable, WELL built, and i can't imagine doing rough in without them... thats all i do is new construction

u/joeprentice90 · 5 pointsr/Tools

I've tried a bunch of backpack toolbags, the one I recommend for most people is the dewalt lighted bag.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QNTVVOG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_GunyCbFGZ91JS


The one I like the most, is the veto pro pac tech pack, but it's way too expensive for most people, and really is intended for somebody that needs the durability and portability, every single day.

My next favorite is the one I linked, then the milwaukee, then the husky (home depot brand, apparently it only appears for sale on rare occassions.) And then, the klein. What I look for most, is that it stands up on it's own, and that it can separate many small tools/parts, but also can hold large items like drills/impacts.

u/aRoseBy · 2 pointsr/Trombone

You might find that over time, you need to carry more and more stuff. I play in jazz bands, so I always bring four mutes. After playing a gig with too little light on stage, I always bring a LED battery stand light.

I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Bucket-Boss-60024-Gatemouth-LongBoy/dp/B00GK4TRK4

It has many pockets, and the main compartment is divided in two lengthwise. That separates my trombone stands from the mutes and the stand light. I used to just use a duffel bag, and the mutes got knocked around.

The pockets are used for: clothes pins for outdoor gigs, bow tie (for the guy who shows up at a gig without one), sun glasses, ear plugs, Scotch tape, and slide sprayer and lubricants.

I use one of these for my jazz horn, a King 2B. It's light and strong, about $200. https://www.amazon.com/J-Winter-CE-176-Fiberglass/dp/B007J4DD8Q/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1505920754&sr=8-5&keywords=eastman+trombone+case

They have a bass trombone version, which might fit your Yamaha.

Nice gardening gloves, a bucket boss (https://www.amazon.com/Bucket-Boss-10056-Organizer-Pocket/dp/B00QQL2G18/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1543455818&sr=8-5&keywords=bucket+boss), Garden clogs or muck boots... and definitely go online and request some seed catalogs for her... Park Seed, Burpee, etc.

u/sobusyimbored · 3 pointsr/msp

I love the Magma stuff for sitework. This is my main bag.

u/CybRdemon · 2 pointsr/msp

I haven't tried it yet but I have been looking at getting the Klein Tradesman Pro Tech Bag. I have also heard good things about the Veto Pro Pac XLT Laptop-Tool Bag but it is way more than I need.

u/Lurkndog · 4 pointsr/BuyItForLife

That Klein bag is probably great, but really, you could make do with any regular toolbox.

If you're going to take it outside into the dirt, maybe look at something like a Bucket Boss. The plastic bottom of the bucket will do a better job of shedding dirt than any kind of fabric will.

In the long term, you will probably graduate into either a workbench, or multiple toolboxes sorted by function. For instance, I just put all my plumbing tools into a separate 16" toolbox because my old primary toolbox was getting too heavy to carry around.

u/Lanilyn · 2 pointsr/networking

If not only looking for a backpack, this one is really nice and full of space/slots : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Y57BRC/

u/rhiesa · 4 pointsr/BuyItForLife

http://www.amazon.com/Tuff-Tote-Ultimate-Tool-Carriers-Color/dp/B000ZZK78K/

That is my tool bag.

My father had it for a good many years and then he gave it to me when I entered the trades.

BIFL = leather and rivets.

u/fogcityrunner · 1 pointr/Construction

Problem is, I have this:

https://www.amazon.com/Occidental-Leather-9850-Adjust-Fit/dp/B00HGASW48?ref_=ast_bbp_dp

I can't remove the hammer loop/pliers pocket from the back. The bottom of the plier pocket thing keepspushing my pants down everytime I put it on. I still like it albeit it's a slightly annoying thing I wish I can change. It's all good I'll just rock the plumber's crack.

u/HonkeyFresh · 1 pointr/Tools

I use this Dewalt backpack works really well for what I need it for

u/OldGreyTroll · 2 pointsr/woodworking

I just read Adam Savage’s book Every Tool’s a Hammer. It had some good insights into organizing a work space. For example, drawers are where things go to die. If you put it into a drawer, you effectively lose it. Put it out on a rack or a shelf where you can see it. He talks about “first-order retrievability” or being able to pick a tool up without moving any others. I’d been fighting with organizing my main toolbag. Whatever I needed seemed to always be at the bottom. Last weekend I moved everything out of the bag and into a 5-gal bucket organizer. I can now see all my tools. We’ll see how I like it after a few weeks of use. The major question is whether it is stable enough when I through it into the back of the car.

The other thing I’ve been doing is simplifying everything. I had a long bout of analysis paralysis about a new workbench and a router table for my garage. A month ago I threw all the fancy thoughts and designs away and spent a weekend building them out of 2x4’s and plywood. Now I have a bench that I’m working on instead of thoughts cascading through my head.

u/crazymonkey752 · 3 pointsr/toolboxmods

Look at bucket boss tool bags. They are expensive but great quality. This one fits enough tools to take apart most of my car in my trunk, including at 24" breaker bar.
https://www.amazon.com/Bucket-Boss-60024-Gatemouth-LongBoy/dp/B00GK4TRK4
Edit. I have also put over 80# in it and it took the weight no problem.

I have a Rothco Mechanic Toolbag that I learnt about on this sub years ago. I keep an aeropress, grinder, filters, beans, scale and steel cups inside.

u/evilcheerio · 1 pointr/ECE

I carry a similar tool set to you, but not nearly as many cables and connectors. I have the klein tradesman pro tech bag, which unfortunately doesn't really fit your criterea though. I can say klein bags have held up well for me though.

u/OnTheClock_Slackin · 3 pointsr/GrandCherokee

Here is what I use. I take my 08 WK Hemi on the beach, air down from 33 psi to about 13-15 psi. It takes about 2 minutes per tire to get back up to 33 psi when I leave.

Hose & cord is plenty long, however I bought a 6 foot hose extension just in case.

It gets hot, I bought a nice canvas bag to keep it in, I've had no issues with the heat besides accidentally touching it and getting a little burn.
