Toolbox: Tool Pouches

Figure A Figure B Figure C

Having tools and supplies handy when you're working on a home project makes the job go easier. A tool pouch can help save time by cutting down on trips up and down a ladder or out to the workshop. Specialized pouches are available for particular jobs.

A canvas pouch is great for drywall repairs (figure A). It can hold a lot of drywall screws and mud knives. And when it gets dirty just toss it in the wash.

A pouch with multiple compartments can hold several small tools and is useful when installing windows or doors (figure B). If you really load down the pouch consider using suspenders to help carry the weight.

A tool vest is useful for general-purpose jobs (figure C). It also has multiple pouches and pockets and can tote pounds of tools and supplies.
