whats everyone using to carry tools around.

I brought my dads jeep in to work to replace the rear main seal (4.0). I wasn't sure what I was going to need so I brought a lot of tools. My neighbor gave me a bag that he got with a set of power tools. It holds a lot but at the same time it gets too heavy. I lost my go to napa 16" wide mouth hard bottom bag. Just curious what everyone uses when they need tools somewhere other than home.

I'm leaning towards something like this

I've also got this kit

I've got a bag VERY similar to that bought at the thrift store. It sucks. Doesn't open wide enough, difficult to see into the bottom. If you screw up and put something "short" into one of the pockets, then dig around after it for 15 min with needle nose, you get to dump the whole thing upside down to retrieve it.

If you are talking portable, it is hard to beat one of the I think they are called "tuff" boxes which are a tough composite material. Not being metal, they are "easier" on things around them in your truck.
