What do you keep your Bonsai tools in?

[Michigan Tree Murderer]

I need something bigger, and I'm looking for suggestions. I currently keep mine in a Nylon roll tool holder, mainly to keep them separated, and it's easy to carry. Silly question but I'm curious.

Pictures for reference.

I am using this. It has plenty of pouches all around it on the outside and even a few on the inside. Plus, you can store larger items inside the bucket.

Nope, not going there...

Father Ted, one of the funniest shows ever did a similar bit. If you've never seen the show, check it out. Here's a clip:

Sinners! all of you laughing at my tool and liking that post need a dirty mind washing! I'm talking about tools and big tool holders. Post a picture of your tool!

I like the way you think!

@Michigan Tree Murderer sorry to derail your post but I needed a giggle.

I use a similar roll for my tools but I do need something bigger.

Ya know, over the years I've tried all sorts of storage solutions like the roll holder you showed, or a peg board system. I think it depends how serious you are, how much space you need, and how clean you are.

This year I've almost finished my new studio. I found some magnetic tool strips at harbor freight for $5/6 each and they are perfect. The roll became a nuisance, I never ended up putting them into the same spots, and it was hard to clean if any dust or dirt got on it. For the quantity of plants I work on these days, having the easy connect/disconnect system has been awesome.

So, if you're serious, I'd say you should start thinking about making your own workshop space.

No worries I like the participation.

I'm festidous about keeping my tools clean. I'm currently making a work space, but not a sweet workshop like yours. Very nice! Now I'm inspired.

Ever consider a metal tool box? You can find drawers on the bigger ones.

Yes, I considered that but it doesn't seem feasible with my setup. I have a workbench and tools in the garage but most of my bonsai stuff is in my house for convenience & the weather (it's cold sometimes). I keep my liquid ferts (or they'll freeze) and other supplies in the house also. I'd also like to stay portable. Go bag ready!

It’s expensive but I’ve only bought it once and it does serve a purpose of protecting the tools and keeping them all together.

Works for me. Don't ask me where I keep the cut paste

I use one of these for everyday tools: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/ordning-kitchen-utensil-rack-stainless-steel-30131716/

I really like that! Thanks for sharing.

I have one of those, and have definitely considered using it for my bonsai tools. My tool roll is out of slots!
