Toolbox woes!!

I've relocated tools to a long canvas bag and make use of the empty space between the drawers and the back of the back seats. Its a pain moving the tools from the box to the bag, but the only place I could find whilst still keeping them easily accessible.

I discarded the toolbox(too bulky) and now carry my tools in an ordinary travel bag. The tools can find their own space in whichever nook and cranny I feel like putting them in. At present they are behind the drivers seat

Hi Pezza,

I had a bit of a chuckle when I read your post because of what we spent a couple of hours doing over the weekend. As you'd know from my post about our storage unit, we decided the drawer space should be allocated to regularly used items. Those items used only sometimes are stored in the side compartments and this includes our tools. Problem was that our tool kit was very bulky and so heavy that I could hardly lift it. So on the weekend, we bought a cheap, smallish tool bag to complement the existing bag and after first discarding those tools we deemed superfluous, we split the tool kit into the two bags. These smaller tool bags are much more managable and now fit very well into one of the side compartments. The other good thing about using bags instead of a metal or plastic tool box is that the bags mould themselves into any nook and cranny (just as Willem stated above).

I fitted my tools in a gal tray which slides underneath the fridge. The fridge sat on 2 x 50mm square tube & the tray fitted between the tubes...just need to have the space available to take the extra height.
The tools could slide out independant of fridge : downside is the extra weight on the fridge slider. If you are building from scratch you could use the tray concept in a different location.

cheers
