What is Your Pick A Part Tool Bag Or Box Full of?

[wildbill23c]

You could string the sockets thru a small cable or rope. Never did like those socket holders either. Could wear those sockets like a bandolier.

That would probably work best, thanks. Tired of searching the bottom of the box or bag for all the sockets that fall off those rails. The rails may work fine if all they do is hang on a wall but they certainly don't work if they are used in a tool box or tool bag that is being moved around LOL.

I have a Stanley deepwell impact set that has a nice hard plastic case. They were $10 a set at Wal-Mart 10 years ago. Now they have sets that are identical but Cambel-Housefield.

I love my Stanleys, they are not part of my regular JY box load out but if I plan on needing them they have gone before.

That's funny 85 you carry a leathermen and a pen light. i carry my streamlight stylus pro and my two leathermens everywhere. I have the wave and the crunch (the crunch is a vise grip multitool). but when ever I hit the junk yard I just figure out what I used to take off what I need from the vehicle I'm working on, and just a few other handy item should I happen to see them on my way out. I'll spend like 10-15 min huntin for ranger goodies I find useful. I'm crafty I'll find a way to get what I want and I have used a rusted together brake caliper/rotor as a hammer. I just lay on the least smelly floor mat I can find if it's been raining

In addition to my full tool bag, I snagged a little 30 piece screw driver kit (found at the auto parts check out counter). Used it more times at u-pull than I haven't.

What I usually carry:

DeWalt 1/4" 20v cordless impact driver with 3/8" and 1/4" socket adapters
DeWalt 1/4" bit set (phillips/flat head/some square and hex drive bits
Small metric/standard 3/8" craftsman socket set
Phillips/flat-head screwdrivers
3/8" and 1/2" Torx bits
HF 1/2" cordless impact (in its own case)
Various 1/2" deep-walled sockets (I try to take only the ones I need)
1/2" breaker bar
Various 1/4" sockets
8MM-18MM gear wrenches
All in a craftsman tool bag, which is admittedly a little on the heavy side.

Same light but I have the Leatherman Kick.

I've thought about just bringing the tools I need for that specific part, but then I get there and find a half dozen other parts I need LOL.

I don't go further than my mailbox without my leather tool bucket.

This is a utility company lineman's too bag with a heavy leather bottom and canvas upper
used by phone company repairmen


The tools that are in it varies depending on what I'm after but there's always a 3/8" drive swivel head long handled ratchet, also carried with it are metric sockets in 10-19mm
and while Vise-grip pliers are useful so are channel-lock pliers.
But junkyard trips are not real fun without diagonal cutters and a pair of needle nose pliers and a magnetic bit driver and a selection of bits including the common T10-T30 and not forgetting the tamper-proof T-27 you'll need if you are working on steering colmn parts....

I usually tailor my load of tools to what I'm after, but usually take my work truck if at all possible so if the unexpected arises, I have a bigger selection of tools to dig into. I miss the junkyard that I had access to when I was at college. It wasn't a U-pick-it yard, but I made friends with the owner which allowed me to not only pull my own parts, but to drive my truck into the yard and right up to what I wanted.

That said, next year (I already far exceeded my tool budget for this year) I intend to get a Milwalkee M18 Fuel 1/2" impact gun (1,000 ft/lb removal torque FTW!). That should help out on junkyard runs.
