I used to carry most of my tools and spares in a plastic crate but the crates kept cracking and spreading the gear throughout the rig. I'd carried a Craftsman tool bag for many years and never had issue so decided to try something similar for the rest of the gear. MasterCraft offers a variety of tool bags, rolls, and totes that keep your tools and gear safely and neatly organized in the vehicle. The large and small tool bags include footman loops and buckle straps so the gear bags can be stowed away and secured in place. I also found that the plastic drawers from the Copper State fastener kit fit neatly inside the large MasterCraft tool bag, which made transporting them much easier. Also shown is the MasterCraft Walker duffle, which is a great bag for carrying warm clothing and rain gear as well as other personal items you want to keep out of the elements. The bag is made from weather-proof and tear resistant material and is padded for durability.
