Strange question....

[SmokeEm]

How do you guys carry round your tool boxes in the boot of your OSF? I have nowhere except the boot to keep them but don't want the chest to slide around. Also, bungees aren't strong enough.

 

What do you do? Pics if poss

[alltheoldohyeah]

I only keep a small amount of tools 2 screwdrivers, set of sockets, wrench, pliers and an AA card. Keep it all in the glove box.

Anything I can't fix with the tools ill have it recovered and fix it at home.

How about a small tool bag ( holdall ) as the weight of the tools stops it sliding about

[SmokeEm]

You are all missing the point. I actually WANT to carry all my tools with me as I do not have a shed or anywhere to keep them..

Ive got a tool bag i can fit everything i need in and it fits nicely in the rear footwell, behind the passenger seat. Tools in a bag dont rattle and clang around like in a box either wich is a bonus, If its a big tool box you have that has to go in the boot, then maybe put a few eyebolts in the floor you could tie/ratchet strap it to? thats what i did when i was carrying all my tools in my Land Rover.

[texr2000]

i carry a 15 quid (with trade) 1/4 drive set from halfords, ideal as also a screwdriver, and a 13mm & 14mm spanner. oh and of course elec tape and zip ties and some wire.

got all my bits and bobs in one of those plastic fold down boxes, the carpet and the weight of the box stops it from sliding.

 

the jack, jerry can, emergency battery charger, jump leads, tow rope, spare clutch cables, first aid kit and air pump that I also carry around with me but don't fit in the box do all move around though! 

[SmokeEm]

Yep, think i am gonna get one of them plastic flip boxes with tray.

 

This is all weird to me - After selling the Capri 5 yrs ago, I got rid of ALL my tools and everything coz I hate clutter. Every time I have needed a screwdriver I have had to go and buy one lol. Now I am buying another OSF, I am having to buy the whole lot again!!

 

I have on my list so far, Halfords socket set, pliers set, spanners, mole grips, electrical tester, screwdriver set, trim clip remover and anything else I can think of lol

I have on my list so far, Luscious Linda (deluxe inflatable model with real hair and sound effects) and anything else I can think of lol

O.........K.........does she change spark plugs too then?

[SmokeEm]

Who cares Scott?? Hopefully she'll be as good as the real thing!

Halfords were doing an offer last weekend (not sure if they still are) 1/2 price on their professional range. I picked up a 170 piece socket/spanner set for £125. Well chuffed.
