tool storage

[Dansouthcoast84]

What does everyone use to store your tools.

I got couple of stanly rigid tool open bag. One for dry tools one for wet.

But now i need a solution to keep my 600 spat. 500 knotch and 16inch refina plastic.

Find they prone to getting bent

Ideas?

Trowels and spat ive made protective sleeves with 3mm correx and loads of duct tape.
Speed skims set 1800 1200 600 and the pole in a padded fishing rod bag.

Not for one of those long flattener spread things, but I keep the guides for my rail saw in one of these which are pretty good. DeWalt DWS5025-XJ Plunge Saw Guide Rail Bag

I never got past a bucket for plastering stuff but use one of these for my brick tools http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=310401888322 takes some abuse can stand on it etc. Waterproof and fits a 600 level in with space would be ideal for trowels and shorter spats could probably partition it off a bit for some extra protection.

Along with your 75 ltr bucket mate. When you first pulled that bag out of your van i thought you were setting up for a day of on site goldfish bashing lol

If you look carefully you can see under the speed skims my 4ft aluminium lunch box.

very rare I hear of a plasterers van being broken into up here, nothing really worth nicking compared to joiners/electricians/plumbers , but I know of one plasterer who spent a great deal of money on getting a purpose built large metal box made, this was then welded to the floor of the van and topped off with 3 large padlocks, his first job after getting this was in Keswick approx. 35 miles from Carlisle, when he got there he unloaded his bags of plaster buckets etc then went to get his tools, he then realised he had left the keys for the padlocks back home, not a happy bunny at all,had to come all the way back home and start again
