Tool Bags vs Tool Boxes
Here are some of the pros and cons for both options:
Tool Bag pros
- They take up less space as they’re not as rigid
- More lightweight than a lot of toolboxes
- More durability/malleability when stored in small spaces or dropped on the floor
- Capable of expanding to offer larger amounts of space for tools
- Straps free up the use of hands
Tool Bag cons
- They don’t provide as much protection to the tools inside
- Not as effective for organisation
Tool Box pros
- More durability
- Better organisation capabilities with different compartments
- Large tool cases are available with wheels, ideal for carrying heavy items
- They offer more protection to tools
Tool Box cons
- While they have different compartments which are good for organisation, only tools of a certain size can be stored
- Tend to occupy a lot more space
- Some only feature a handle, so moving around various locations is more cumbersome
Therefore the best solution depends largely on the application and how many tools are being stored or transported.
