Im starting a new, portable tool set. For work home and where ever else i may need it. I dont have tools at home. Yea yea go ahead laugh :mad: but theres reasons for that. My main tool box is at work jammed full of tools. I hate rolling it to a small-med size job. But i also hate the constant walking back and forth if i dont bring my box. Starting a tool backpack so i can grab it and go. Looked at alot. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. All info is welcomed.
Tools will be that of an industrial mechanic.

I have a Veto Pro Pac Tech Pac. It's a little heavy but it's all top notch build quality and excellent organization. All of their smaller bags (meter bags and pouches) all work together as a very effective system for me.

I looked at Klein, Milwaukee, and CLC as well. They all have their merits.

I had a Veto Pro Pac one that I loved. I switched jobs and had no more need for it so sold it. I used it daily for about 3 years and it still looked like new. If you touch one and compare it to ANY of the others on the market you will notice the difference in material. If you are looking for a bag that will last, go with the Veto.....

Ac mechanic at industrial plant. I have a veto backpack as well. No pictures on hand. I like it for climbing ladders. If I was working somewhere Semi flat I would have a dolly with pneumatic tires and a box strapped to it.

Klein sells some awesome ones but I'd go for a nice pelican case or snap on bag which I have and it holds a lot. I got a little carried away and now it's like 100# lol I'm addicted to buying tools, multiples of the same things by accident since I don't have a clue as to what I got and don't since I keep all my sockets together and not organized well with trays but just crammed together big to small and all brands. I need to make a list lol.

I have used a Milwaukee pack for a year now and has held up great. I'll snag some pics at work today.

I have a stanley fatmax backpack. I really like it but have downsized to a Technicians tote bag as the backpack I was carrying around too much stuff I didnt use. At work I have a maintenance shop with a big roll away and a cheapo stanley tote box that I load gear into.

Those vetos are nice but a really high price tag here in germany

I used to use a hand cart to haul my 80lb tool box around the bone yard. I could also carry heavy things such as a differential out of the bone yard on the cart. Our local pick a part supplied wheel barrows for customer. Cantelever tool boxes are great but they can get heavy real fast

I need too go up on roofs quite often, up lots of stairs and ladders etc. And tight places behind machines and tanks.

And thank you to all who replied. I actually won an ebay auction for 150usd for the veto backpack.
I didnt think i was going to win it and wasnt going to pay anymore then that. So i was looking for cheaper ones!
