organising vans

[Billy Bob Bob]

Because you need at least 4. No matter how big or brightly coloured they may be, they are the most elusive thing in the tool box. It is like you open the box and they all go walkabout. Somehow they always find their way back to the box again when it is time to go.

mine dont,numptys on site

 

[plumbtech]

agreed with the tapes, also as soon as you get power cords of drills extention leads and vac's with in 2 feet of each other they tangle to ****

 

[Leo21]

I find when I'm up the top of the ladder with a core drill the bloody plug comes adrift.

110v will not pull out and is safer to use.

 

[Mike Jackson]

It's also a lot heavier. Can't see the need of it if you use an rcd extension.

Finally got round to giving the van a quick tidy up, still not perfect but getting used to it now, need some better lighting and some insulation/carpet on the sides/roof for sure as I'll be sleeping in it for the Wales rally in September.

Are your power tools safe there , no strong box

 

[SafeGasInstall]

get van vaut and bolt it to the floor

 

[ManchesterGas]

I used to install vehicle security systems for a living, you could say that it's secure :wink_smile:

 

[SafeGasInstall]

i can see all your power tool boxes on the second photo bottom rhs

 

[Carl86]

Id invest in a strong box if you dont take anything of value out the van when its not in use, when it comes to the gear we use its practially all of it. I'd also advise anyone to pick up a secur-i-disk tax disk holder for their van as well, couple of quid off the net. Had some fool burst my quater light windown to steal a disk with a few months tax on it. The mind wonders.

I know what you mean, i made sure I had my ply lining and racking for when i got the new van as I knew id hate not having it sorted. The van arrived so i opened the ply lining kit to get started and some of it was damaged! I had to wait two days for a replacement! GRRR!

All sorted now though

 

[kris]

I mean the linnings done but just havent racked it out so most things just on floor its driving me mad but im too busy to take couple hrs off to do it,

 

[newcastle phill]

Finally reorganised mine.
My strong box multiple floor anchorage points and top locks.
1200 x 600 x 600.

Twin high level internal 3000mm exhausts

 

[newcastle phill]
