What do you guys use to keep the tools that you need regularly handy. I found this integy case that seems like a good deal but I'd like something with a couple more slots in it, this has 8

I use this GS Racing tool bag.

And I use the one from Integy for my tuning screw driver, glow-plug wrench and glow starter.
 
Here is my Pit tool setup.
I have a complete set just for the track. Never gets unpacked so I never forget anything on race day. Well..... Almost never......

Nice setup Ed. That is my goal as well. To have a set of tools for the shop and the track, but for now... I use both.

I especially like the big ass knife! :)
 
Its a folding box cutter.
Best 8.00 (on sale) I have spent at Harbor Freight in a long time.
The hard tool case is available at Home Depot for 19.99. More good money spent.
I have 6 of them. They hold 99% of everything that I need at the track and stack nicely in the car and shop.

They do indeed look like they would be a nice addition. I will have to take a look the next time I am at the HD.

I use the GS Racing tool holder just like neobart.

Works great and keeps the tools in place.

Fortunately for me I don't have to remember to bring all my poop to the track. If I forget something, I just borrow Eds stuff. :green-grin:

No doubt.... he has everything in there but the kitchen sink, which he probably has rigged a cooler for. He is one prepared dude.
 
WOW very cool, thanks for everybody's input. That GS case is exactly what I was looking for but damn it now I've seen the ultimate setup and I have to have it.

:bowtothercnt:
 
I see someone else has discovered the Home Depot aluminum case....It's perfect as a pit box. Mine's a little more crowded but everything fits.

Behind the top flap I keep a pit towel and a zipper pouch with zip ties, shrink wrap, a soldering iron and solder, a handful of fittings, adapters, etc.

In the flap itself I keep my temp gun, a magnetic parts tray, Losi multitool, OFNA plug wrench, body shears, a couple small pairs of scissors, angled long tipped needle nose pliers, a couple of old toothbrushes and a brush, Sharpie and pens, magnetic tipped parts-picker-upper-thing, turnbuckle wrench, extendable mirror, flashlight, pair of needle nosed Vice Grips, a small hammer and hole punches, glow plug igniter, straight needle nose pliers, and wirecutters.

In the bottom there's the charger, two of the GS Racing tool bags, a pair of gloves, a regular pair of Vice Grips, a regular pair of Channel Lock pliers, a few little cases of misc. small tools and parts, a package of 3x3 ziplock bags (you never know when you might need them!), and underneath the charger's wires are a rechargeable Dremel and a spare igniter.

The Blue GS tool bag has SAE tools and screwdrivers in it and the black one has the metric tools, spring tools, ratchets, reamers, knife, etc.

It seemed like any time I'd go to the track with anything less I'd always need the one thing I'd left behind.

Not any more.
 
A couple people have asked how the parts tray is "hanging there"....It's not. These cases have one slot that's pretty much useless, everything you put in it just falls out. (I noticed that FastEddy didn't use that slot either.)

I cut that pouch off, then cut a circle out that would let the base of the magnetic parts tray slide through snugly (very snugly) and then silicone glued it from the back side.

And that's it.
 
Wow

Damn!!! Mine does'nt look even close to that!!! Got to get myself one of those babys. Very nice guys!!!
