What do you use as a Toolbox in your camper?

[peajay]

What do you use as a toolbox that you keep in/with your camper? Something that holds/organizes stuff like screwdrivers/hammer/pliers/spare bulbs/fuses/etc, that doesn't take up a lot of room in the pass through storage areas and that is heavy duty plastic so it won't rust if it gets wet?

I use DW's old full grain leather purses. They just about hold everything I need, stows away in small spaces never cracks.

I dont have any in mine yet, bought the trailer at the end of last summer and only had a chance to use it a few times. Im going to grab some cheap tools and place them in a bag like others are using.

a tool box.

What do you mean "a" toolbox. I have four 16" tool boxes. I should get rid of one of them but I'm some how attached to my tools.

The Goldilocks bag. Not too big, not too small. Not too many pockets, not too few. Where do all the guys with molded tool-keeper boxes put their zip-ties?
Husky 15 in. Tool Bag at Home Depot.
I need to throw a multi-tester in there. Plenty of room.

I don't use anything. We have a junk draw inside that has a screwdriver or two, some sticky hooks and the like and on the floor of the front storage just inside the door I have a hammer, wrench and pliers, that is about it. Takes up no space.

Part of my tools go in here:



The rest into a toolbag. The benefit of the bucket is that it can come in handy for many things. For example, bleach water to add to the FW tank, or if I am boondocking and the gray water tank is nearing full, I can use the bucket and dump stuff into the black tank.

I use a bag for the electrical tools, but have a hard plastic Kobalt 200 piece tool kit for the rest of the tools. Includes bits, screwdrivers, pliers, vice grips, level, hammer... We were buying everything for the camper at once (didn't have much in the way of unused duplicates at home) and this provided most every tool I would need in a flat case that could be placed underneath other items in transit. Works great for us.

I have one of these tool bags. I like it.

I use a bag too. It is kept under the bed and being fabric it won't ding the interior of the RV.

I have a full workshop in my home and work van (not the TV). I just want to take along enough tools to do quick repairs or limp home. I'm not a full-timer.

So this works for me, in addition to a box of socket wrenches and torque wrench in their own boxes



These are nylon. For a cheaper, cotton, version, try Harbor Freight, $8 or less, regularly on sale for $5-6. I use these to hold my pneumatic tools rather than the blow-molding OEM boxes.

I bought 2 of the cheap $15-$20 multi-tool sets. The tools are crap, but usually sufficient for what little that I do in the camper when we're on the road.

I then bought a tool bag that carries some of my bigger heavier tools like what was shown in one of the first posts. I carry that between the camper and the house until I'm able to buy doubles of all of the tools in it.

I use a small plastic tool box, about 12" x 6" x 6". I also have a socket wrench set about 18" x 12" x 4".

I use one for the truck that is about 28" x 10" x 3" in size and slips under the rear seat. I have a second one that is about 15" x 7" x 7" that goes into a storage compartment.

Best to select the tools first and then you will know how large a box to get. I take a pall peen hammer and a hacksaw and full size channel lock pliers and need a box that is long enough for them to fit.

I was using a tool box and found that it too up just too much of the limited storage space that I have. I got zippered heavy pouches and split the tools into three of these. They are now tucked in between other things that I carry and take up very little space. I also got rid of the large tools that I had not used once in three years.
