Hot bag?

[JCplumb]

I've been on the look out for a hot bag (for carrying gas, blowtorch etc.) for a coupel of weeks and not found anything suitable.
What do you guys use?
I saw a cracking looking Stanley bag, about 12'' hard based bag a couple of days ago in B & Poo but the bar code was missing and the assistant was about as much use as Anne Frank's drumkit...

Bucket.

 

[drip-dry]

Have a look in a camping shop...get some good bags and packs ,with handy compartments for often a good price

 

[REDSAW]

square buckets the best, the flux dont eat away the fabric

Bucket, 4 x empty 1.5 litre pop bottles and some expanding foam and there you have a custom gas bottle carrier.

that's a good one, compartments on side to hold flux brusher, enough space in the bottom for flux solder , pipe bender slides and , I used this at one end to secure the blowlap tip.a blowlamp. and there are t Velcro straps at each end , I used one of these to secure the blowlap tip, im sure you can pick them up for half of that price!

I use an old F & E tank with some 22mm tube running through the top for a handle.

Thanks for the replies guys, I've always used a small bucket up to now, but fancied upgrading and looking for ideas.

 

[JCSPLUMBING]

I just get it out the van when I need it and put it in my tray with flux and solder... Hot bags, whatever next pipe slice holster.

What like this one?

 

[JCplumb]

I ended up with one of these, pretty happy with it. Was about £8 if I remember correctly.

 

[gasmanrob]

It used to be if you spent £100 on fittings with Ray you got a free bag I've got 2 there pretty robust for a freebie. Don't know if the offer still exists

[gasmanrob]

I like the idea of that but the metal box worries me. If I caught a bit of unprotected work top or a door frame with it I imagine the corner might gouge a noticeable chunk from them

 

[Alpha man]

Very misleading title!! Lol
