August 20, 200917 yr 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.
August 20, 200917 yr 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
August 20, 200917 yr Author That looks like that would work! They are only $14.99? if so, that's cheap! works for me!
August 20, 200917 yr Author I decided to get this bag http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00937535000P It should cover all my needs!
August 21, 200917 yr 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.
August 21, 200917 yr Author 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
August 21, 200917 yr 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
August 21, 200917 yr Author 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
August 27, 200916 yr Author 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.
