I used to carry around a big tool box around with me with everything in it but I really don't need to carry everything anymore at my current position so I've been looking around for some kind of messenger bag for tools or just something with a strap to sling over my shoulder that can carry the basic tools and has pouches on the inside to help organize things. I haven't really found anything that's quite perfect yet so if anybody has what they think might be what I looking for and could provide a link, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Re: Could I get some tool bag recommendations?
I searched for a small case for printer calls and ended up with a Platt 602ZT. Pricey, but well made.Comment

This is what I use. https://amzn.com/B0047O3PFC
Works pretty good. Just doesn't have much room for spare parts. But that hasn't been a problem in the about six months I've used it.Comment

Re: Could I get some tool bag recommendations?
I'm one of those techs that carries everything. If you want lighter, you can skip the 8", 9" or 10" Platt cases. It starts out heavy, then the longer you carry it it just gets heavier. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Could I get some tool bag recommendations?
Yeah just a little outside my price range but it's still something to consider. Thanks for the suggestion!
I can smell what the Rock is cooking!
I had a similar case before. Looking to go a little smaller but I definitely enjoyed carrying around a tool case like that.
I still have one of their screwdrivers that they no longer sell anymore and it makes me sad because it's the best screwdriver ever and I can't buy anymore!
From like 7 years ago. You have a good memory! haha Thanks! I'll peruse that shortly.
Thanks for the suggestion!
That does look cool but it way too pricey for me to consider. Thanks for the suggestion though!
So was I but now that my job doesn't require me to really do much fixing of things I don't really need everything anymore. My old case was pretty heavy but I managed. Now carrying that around would just be a waste of energy.Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Re: Could I get some tool bag recommendations?
Try a local Lowes, Home Depot or Harbor Freight Tools. I am currently using a 18x14x6 aluminum case that cost about $30.00. May not last as long as a good Platt but a ot less cost and came with tool pallet.Comment

Re: Could I get some tool bag recommendations?
Wal Mart has some good canvas ones too, if all you need are the very basics. Back when I worked on some machines in a prison I used one from there. It held my big and stubby magnetic screwdrivers, needlenose pliers, a tweaker, a pen oiler, a set of forceps, all the SD cards I ever needed for any firmware update, and assorted cleaning supplies and paperwork. I think it cost around seventeen bucks, and it came with some tools already in it that are OK for light home repairs.Comment

Re: Could I get some tool bag recommendations?
Well this is like shopping for a wedding ring. So much to choose from, but the diamond must have a certain cut, and the colour must be a tinge of gray. I think the reply to his question is what a seasoned salesman will ask " How much you have or willing to spend ". So lets start there and then bring out the goodies to fit the price range.

Re: Could I get some tool bag recommendations?
I'm not a copier tech, so, I go EXTREMELY basic.
10-11" phillips screwdriver (magnetized)
Small standard screwdriver (not magnetized)
Flashlight
I too go into prisons, so, less is better. If I feel I need anything else for the job, I'll bring it with me from my car.Comment
