I love tool pouches like the Klein 5140 and 5141 for working on the go.

I label each bag with a steel tag and small tools are in them by type.

This way I can easily tailor my tool box to the job by swapping entire pouches. Pliers basically always go but my ethernet pouch or AC electrical pouch are a sometimes depending on the job. This way I can quickly swap my loadout to reduce weight and I can find individual tools more quickly on site.

I started doing that for work but it saves me tons of time and effort even just moving around my property to different tasks.

Damn i like that.

What do you use as your bag now?

I'm using a 1 handed thing and it is annoying to farmers walk that much weight sometimes. Thinking about a backpack to distribute the load but I want to buy something decent.

I have a North Face "surge" backpack, Great bag for traveling. Stores both on my laptops, tablet, various tools and gee-gaws Like my label maker and crimper, chargers etc....and has pouch attachment loops.

Interesting. I was looking at tool specific backpacks and they all look kinda crap.

Since I'm using zipper pouches anyway, a big open bag like that would be good.

I have a goruck rucker 4.0. Maybe I'll take the plate out and try that on a couple of test jobs.
