Hi everyone! Would love to hear what you use to store and transport your tools between home/storage to do work at ASMBLY.
I’ve been going to ASMBLY for gosh about 8 years now and my storage solution is just Husky bags from Home Depot.
Would love to hear what y’all do! For example do you prefer hard packout style boxes, bags, milk crates etc…
For my general tools, I have a tool bag from Rockler. I like it, it has lots of small pockets. Some of the tool bags mostly have spots for screwdrivers and pliers, etc.
I have my router bits in a systainer, which lives below my router. It’s nice since I can just take the whole thing with me, when I want to use the CNC.
For my metal working tools, less happy with it. I started using a systainers for those as well (I had a some that were free, where the tool is not stored in it). I have wheels for these, but it’s really getting too heavy for the systainer.
I’ve seen a couple folks with a two wheeled rolling toolbox that looks like it would be pretty easy to use. The trouble with the systainers and packouts is stacking and unstacking them. Either for travel or to get at the stuff.
Bigger Husky bags!
I have a few different bags or boxes for certain things. I have a long flat bottom Husky bag for some of my chisel rolls, measuring tools, few other things for woodworking.
I’ve started to use wood turning things way more lately at the workshop. I tend to bring those in a Ridgid hard tool case. There are some occasions where I might have a larger project, or a couple of things in which I’ll have the Ridgid rolling tool box as well.
If I could do it all again, I would look into those Dewalts or Milwaukee tool boxes. I think the ladder are the ones that seem very nicely constructed, easy to snap together and take apart, and so many options.
Few years ago when I was at a woodworking School in Colorado, it was the same story. A hodgepodge of bags, tool boxes, grocery store bags, cardboard boxes, and all things in between
For small bit storage and stuff i’ve found these to be cheap and usefull - dewalt little containers
You can always 3d print inserts
I’m excited to learn more on what others are doing for this. I’ve mostly just used single large pocket tool bags, but am a big fan of keeping things more organized and can’t say it’s been my favorite. I like that little Dewalt container! Thanks for sharing that.
I like the Packout-style organizers. I have a rolling base with my PPE (for welding), a full width tool container for my angle grinder and sanding/filing stuff, and then half width containers for more specific tasks. One with all of my measuring and marking tools, one for lathe tools, one for mill tools, two with different kinds of clamps…
I can often just grab one or two of them, but sometimes I need to wheel in a whole stack, and I appreciate that they snap together.
Even with all of that, I still usually have a Husky fabric tool bag and/or a messenger bag for my laptop and miscellany.
Love this topic 
I’ve posted these in other threads but to consolidate:
Here’s what I did for my woodworking tools, albeit these are fairly small and/or thin so you won’t see any power tools and bulkier stuff like that. These are three boxes with kaizen foam inserts, all about 3" tall:
They’re on trundle wheels:
The wheels ride on aluminum angle rails I stuck under a “false floor” of my car:
so that when the floor is added there is nothing visible:
(more details here)
My leatherwork tools are also small/thin, so I can have them together a few stackable trays I cut out on the laser, with elastic bands to hold the tools in place:
The trays stack inside tool boxes from Harbor Freight:
and the boxes stack together:
@Branislav, very nice.
Okay @Branislav do mine next please 
I love this topic, I have grand visions of a Better Way for myself (Some sort of custom large tool roll? A huge portfolio for carrying 1-2 inches thick worth of sheet stock?).
So far my best/easiest solution is to just dump everything in a big, heavy, clear vinyl bag. I can see where most stuff is in there at a glance. I mostly work on the lasers, so usually this just has a laptop, a few small tools, some small pieces of specialty materials, and a bunch of small parts for fit testing. Carrying all the larger materials is still kind of annoying.
Just did the final cut today, so this post was timely. Like Branislav’s, the was kaizen foam. I used photos to create the svg file to do the laser cuts. I’ll bring it to the next Laser SIG if you have questions)
Slick and really well thought-out! Big fan of the asymmetric finger cutouts, gonna have to steal that idea at some point.
Well done my friend!
This just popped up on Facebook. Looks interesting.
My tool box with everything randomly thrown in would be jealous….
