For those who work out of their trucks, I have a question. What or how do you store your tools? The reason I’m asking is that, my truck, a one ton dually, crew cab, is not only my work truck but also our RV (truck camper) and our run around vehicle. The few jobs I have, I throw the tools I need into a couple of tool bags and what doesn’t fit gets stacked on the back seat. Many of my tools have their own cases but others don’t. Tool bags aren’t always the easiest to find tools in. More than once I’ve dumped the bag to find the one tool I need. I’ve built a wooden tool box out of poplar for some of my hand tools but found when loaded, its damn heavy.
Large tools go in the truck bed. That can be dicey depending what are the weather conditions. Loading and unloading can be a pain. My last job I was so tired when I got home I unloaded the truck and trashed the work shop. Tomorrow, I have to clean that up.
Have you built an easily loaded/unloaded method for handling your tools? Is there something that can be purchased that solves this problem?
