lol gotta give him a helping hand aint i.
he's helped me out in my training *level 2 diploma in childhood studies care and devolpment* lol
 
get a van vault attach big label saying these tools are mine keep yer hands off and weld a loop on the side so you can chain yer untrained vicous attack dog to it
 
Black builders bucket...cheap easy to see stuff :)

Picture the scene, 2 million pound house, big gates, you pull up in your old marina van, bucket full of rusty tools, roll up between your lips, haven't shaved for a "few" days, Priceless, its what made Britian great I reckon.
 
excellent idea the black bucket, because when you make that crucial mistake and you only have one pair of hands and a square mile of 4" shag carpet, need I say more
 
How about a posh, bucket type tool bag?

I use a couple of these (Stanley hard base open tote) and they're brilliant.

The only problem is you can't stand on them and that's always useful!

I find them very pratical - very easy to see what's in it and easier to carry as it's got a shoulder strap.

As others have already said he'll need more than one tool box in the long run so could always get a normal one to stand on!

I have the bucket (usually from a fittings bundle) always handy incase of dripping water, the above stanly Fat Max Tool Bag and also the Stanly Big tool Box with handle and wheels (like holiday luggage).

My everyday tools go in the Fatmax bag (adjustables, grips, pumps pliers, footprints, saw,etc), my not so often used tools in the big toolbox (club hammer, immersion heater spanner, chinese finger, stillsons, etc) and the bucket is where I stick all my consumables like Solvent Weld, Wet rags, PTFE, Flux, etc.

Hope that helps :)
