Welding Tips and Tricks

I am looking for ideas on a duffel bag to carry my helmet, gloves, chipping hammer, welpers, etc. I get the opportunity to go to various vendors and customers facilities and would like a good universal bag to carry my stuff in. What I do not want is a Miller or Lincoln branded bag. I will be going to Lincoln next week and do not want to carry a Miller bag in. And I deal with Miller and do not want a Lincoln bag. Does anyone have suggestions or can get pictures up of what you use? Keep in mind I want a professional look, no 5 gallon buckets

Look at soft-side coolers. Well padded, so good protection for your hood, and most have external pouches in varying sizes for small tools. A good detachable padded shoulder strap is a plus.

Wal-mart and Target will have them, but you'll get a better selection from Cabela's, Bass Pro, Academy, etc.

You can get a craftsman tool bag for under 20 bucks from sears. Thats what I use, more than enough room for everything but my jacket.

I like the looks of the black stallion back pack personally!

I have a Lincoln duffel bag from when I went to school there and a plain black duffel that is similar. If I was in the market though this is what I would be going with

For a neutral duffel this might work

Here you go.

Thanks for everyones help on this one. I looked into all those options. I will say there were a few bags I never considered. I looked at the cooler bags and liked them. I decided on cheap and clean on this one. This bag was from Wal-Mart and was only $15. I have two helmets in there, one with the headgear off of it. I have everything I will need to go to my demos nest week. Thanks again everyone.

Is that a pic of the GW Bush pResiduncial library ?

To good!!

That's almost funny except you guys voted for the dimwit ! - lucky no one told him there was a " red button" thingy he was allowed to play with ! I don't follow politics much - but I guess your regretting voting for a " what's the proper word here " - we never had one of them for prime minister - but we've had a woman in charge - hard to say which was worse !

Hey, I'll take Thacher over the dumber Bush brother any day.

You guys know that was a photoshop right?
