Sometimes less is more.

Sounds like a shoddy inspection to me BK.... LOL

I decieded a couple of years ago to take 90% of my tools with me, so I wear a belt with two bags. I use a massive sparky belt for all my hand tools and the other on is set up for my sure test, amp probe et al.

On the other hand, I hate to carry a lot of tools with me around a house. All I carry with me consistently are a outlet tester, small flashlight, non-contact voltage sensor, 6-in-1 screwsdriver, 36" telescoping mirror, small utility knife, digital camera, and telescoping magnet. Oh yeah, my slate tablet with my software on it.

Everything else stays in the bag by the front door until I need it. It's way too easy to bump into something when you're hauling a lot around.

I use a Veto Pro PAC, I actually have two.

Very durable and both front and back open up to access tools, nice heavy duty handle which makes it easy to carry from room to room.

Since buying this tool bag I have yet to leave a tool behind.

I chose this one from Grainger and works out pretty good.

Good point, and it has happened (only with a ladder) to me wich is why I use a Telesteps "inside" instead of my Gorrila or LG.
