Stanley toolboxes with pouches holding individual tools.
Each pouch labeled what's in it.
Where each pouch is in the box.

Way more organized that what I got.
Got my service pouch and my what I like to call my "tinner" pouch. Then of course the 2 most important things drill and radio. Keep my meters separate and also few other misc. tools, bar folders, plum bob etc.

When you marry a teacher, it rubs off on you. My wife is major OCD when it comes to being organized and she helped come up with the idea actually. She should really quit and be a professional organizer!

I'd say or just contract out to organize people's tools! Ha

Haha, money laundering....yes! Actually you can get them at Home Depot near the tool bags. They are called document holders and they only cost 3 bucks each. Have a divider and all in the middle and everything. I've beat the one with the punches in it pretty bad and it didn't rip. Actually I threw it off the top of a WIC....

Huh I do love the heavy duty leather pouch. Thought about a one of those "veta pro" bags or whatever but they seem pricey.

I carry my tools in the veto lc bag.
Professional Member
Mainly service I bet with that veto? What does one of those weigh roughly when all loaded up?

I am also married to a teacher. Her organizational OCD drives me nuts but its nice when I can't find something and she knows right where it is. It must rub off on me when It comes to my tools because all of my stuff is organized.

Yes, I mainly do service on commercial refrigeration and light commercial hvac. Very few installs. It weighs about 35lbs.

My LC is going to turn 7 years old in a few months. $150/7 = $21.50/year or $0.40/week which equals 6 cents a day!
Tough, reasonable and perfect.

Well when you look at it like that it only makes sense

Here is my basic set up
(The Veto is ever evolving since it is a new bag to me still after a couple months and is currently about 32 lbs) I set up the Veto here going into heating season, so a lot of the refer stuff is tucked away in pockets, I suspect come summer, I'll be hating that and re-vamp the bag again a bit lol.
The Veto is my service bag, and residential furnace A/C replacement bag. I like an open top bag for service, so this one suits me better than the Tech LC.
The orange bag holds my 2 drills, and one handed saw, charger, and everything related like blades, drill bits, extension 1/4" 5/16" and self feed bits up to 2 1/8" After that, it's off to the truck.
The red bag, holds my sheet metal pouch and everything else metal working related (folding bars, dividers, seamers, duct clamps, chalk line etc.) along with a few other things that are beginning to make that bag heavier than I would like.

I have a few toolboxes on my truck where I store various things I don't use frequently. One for meters, manometer, etc . . One with soldering and brazing stuff. One with certain hand tools I use on occasion. I keep the veto at the door. I'm debating on getting rid of the veto or getting a smaller pouch type bag for service/repair with tools I use more frequently for that time of year.
