Tool bag recommendations

[keithh2oskier]

Want to have a small bag that I can put in the boat or my ski bag that can carry my calipers 12" long in the container, spare fin, screw driver, wing gages and other random things.

 

Any recommendations or ideas?

Here is what I use. Works great and just the right size.

I was going to say Goode tool bag. I have it and it’s great but you can not fit a 12” caliper in there. I have a 12” Mitutoyo and because it is a little bigger in all dimensions not only longer than a 8” it gives slightly different results when measuring length and dft.

I like the orange waterproof flip-top plastic box. Can be found at harbor freight.

@booze do you have a picture of it?

If you buy rigid power tools a lot of them come with some pretty durable bags that work great as tool bags. (No idea why I would keep the power tool in them). I've got a couple this size that get used for hauling tools around in boats and bikes.

I use a bag like @oldjeep I'd add a bottoming tap for your insert size in the ski extra screws and washers. Tubes of JB weld quick for ski dings or insert failure.

 

Few old pairs of ski gloves are good too if you ever end up having to do mainline work or dock work.
