Where is your level for rails? Cleaning supplies? Vacuum? We used a box that had all of that plus cordless drill and impact driver as well as pry bar and coffee can for rod supports. Could use the box as a step or a seat. Then a fishing tackle box for hand tools with two swing out trays for most common Rafix studs/through bolts, fasteners, and drill bits. Carried those two in first and could demo and install, carry out trash and bring in parts each trip. Truck was loaded in assembly order. I never could get comfortable with any kind of tool belt or pouch.

Video was of my box that’s a little different than my installers. We use a laser instead of big level for rails, and he Carrie’s that in his box. All screw hardware is in a standardized box that also comes in at same time. The goal was to all the tools you need to do 80-90% of jobs so your not carrying around a bunch of “I might need this stuff” I had an issue installer that had, among other things 3 different tape measure, 4 pry bars, 2 types of claw hammers etc etc in his bucket that weighed 60lbs just in case he might need something.

Great idea. Ryobi makes great tools. I’m not a closet installer but do a variety of handymen types jobs so I have to carry quite a few tools in my everyday tote. It’s pretty heavy but it saves a lot of trips. If every job was the same I would definitely carry way less. One thing I stopped doing a few years ago is avoiding the use of an impact driver in my clients house if they’re home if at all possible. When I do need it I’ll use the Milwaukee m12 Surge impulse driver instead to reduce the noise level. I think Ryobi makes one also. For most little jobs it’s the Milwaukee Installation driver. Comes with an offset chuck and an angle chuck eliminating the need for a separate angle drill.
