Nerwin Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 This question is for all the network technician geeks (including my self )I have like a ton of tools, wire, and other stuff that I normally bring with me when I am setting up networks at homes, some are very simple and some I put boxes in the walls. My question is, what do you use to store all this gear? I my self is thinking to use a electrician bag. But I wanted to know what everyone else uses to haul their gear from place to place.
PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 we have a set of these at each of our siteshttp://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00940558000Pthe big one has a set of crimpers, punchdown tool, wire stripper, scissors, cable tester, big bag of RJ45 & a small bag of RJ11the little one has punchdown jacks, wall plates and zip ties
Nerwin Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 That looks like that would work! They are only $14.99? if so, that's cheap! works for me!
Nerwin Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 I decided to get this bag http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00937535000P It should cover all my needs!
CoffeeFiend Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 It should cover all my needs!...until you start using it Digging through a handbag for stuff piled on top of each other and no organization whatsoever gets old.I'm using something most like jcarle does. The little compartments are used for RJ11/RJ45/snap-n-seal F-type connectors, self-adhesive and screw mounted cable tie holders, etc.Then I have several larger compartments which are very handy for separating tools in bunches, like general tools (pliers, side cutters, spare/old leatherman, etc), coax-related tools (crimper for F connectors, acutrac sat finder, etc), network/phone related (RJ11/45 crimper, bix/66/110 punch tools, toner, butt set, etc) and other odds & ends (flashlight, weller butane soldering iron, electrical tape, etc) elsewhere. It's pretty crammed in there though and I'd love to fit lots more in.
Nerwin Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Well I don't have many tools. I only got a RJ-11/45 Crimper, Coax Crimper, cheap punch down tool, all in one wire stripper, my awesome electrician screw driver and some connectors, wall plates and a couple old construction boxes. I just needed something that would keep them all together so I'm running all over the place to find them!But it will work great for me! I'll take a picture when I get it next week
DigeratiPrime Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I usually just bring the top half though, I'll bring the bottom half if I need some power tools http://www.stanleyworks.co.uk/Tool+Storage...ObjectID=93-968
jcarle Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 One thing I can't live without in my toolkit is this :
Nerwin Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Thats sweet!This is the one that I have: I like it, It works pretty great and it was cheap.By the way I took the photo of my own
Nerwin Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Well I just wanted to tell you all that I got my new bag and I love it! Here's a picture of it:I really like it, it's very strong and it holds all my tools that I need on a job.
