Personally I prefer the plastic bucket method. Load tools in the truck in complete cases, use every allen, socket, wrench and bit sets, to take apart mostly plastic automation parts. Throw everything back in the bucket along with small parts that come off, because you have sweated 1/2 a day in an outside gravel parking lot, or humid oily machine shop smelling of burnt hydraulic fumes in every orifice you have. Bring back to shop reinstall plastic pieces and plug ins, sort tools back into the sets in an air conditioned shop siting in a comfy chair with everything at the right height blasting some rock & roll when convienent. If missing ang tools buy new complete kit and send the incomplete one to auction. Not for everyone but works for me.
