My travel tools - updated!

[RooflessVW]

Packout plate screwed down with 1/4-20 screws and T nuts.

I used a peice of MDF so the T-nuts would have something to bite into. I sealed it with some Valspar grip paint on the top and bottom.

My two Packout boxes.

All is hidden under the factory shade.

Now into the boxes. All the trays were custom made, shout-out to Kaizen Source!

There's a little bit of room in there, I have some new hex keys and other small items coming.

Nothing too special here. The left is the foam cut kit Kaizen Source sells, and the right is an EC135 M/R track and balance kit I put together.

Do you perform mobile helicopter tracking and balancing, or propeller balancing? Your setup is really neat!

 

[DriveHard]

WOW!

Overkill for a travel kit, but impressive.

I dont carry the T&B kit unless I have one to do. It's just nice to have my own kit instead of the one that travels around with the MicroVib. It's usually incomplete or just a mess.

I wouldn't say overkill. You never know what's going to break or where.

This also allows me to work at other bases/hangars during a heavy check or other maintenance event with my own tools.

Gorgeous!

Where do you put the groceries?
I see it's a VW so probably a good idea.

That looks so organized! Awesome!

That's what I was thinking also.

With my luck, I would use the tools one time (just a couple tools of course) and immediately everything would be out of place.

Love it! If you watch Munro Live on YT, Sandy loves the Milwaukee case packs.

 

[ripcord]

I can fit a lot more tools in my 3 5 gallon buckets

Very neat and tidy! I admire people who can keep their tools organized to the T.

 

[FowVay]

I'm simple in comparison

It is clean. and looks unused. These day I carry a credit card for when I break down.

Super well executed and clearly well thought out.

Are you under the impression that this is for my car?

I need a new passport. I ran out of pages in my last one and then it expires in August.

Thanks guys. I've been working on this for a while.

After working the EC135 for three years now, I've got a good idea of what I should have with me and what is more functional. It has been an evolution for sure.

Most of the time my trunk looks like pic #1
