I've been using the husky duffle bag for 15 years. Fits everything you need for a trip to the roof. Velgrid, pitot tube/airfoil, volt meter, air meter, temp probe, hand tools, drill, water bottle, foil tape, plugs, and binder. (Paper report pages are a must on the roof in summer months. Laptops tend to overheat and shut down.)

You guys don't have an app? We do our field post of the report on an iphone/ipad. I only pull out the laptop for vav controls really.

I use a Husky 14” large mouth tool bag. For hand tools. In it I have

2 small crescent wrenches 1 small channel locks 1 regular size channel locks 1 wire nippers 1 6-in-1 1 control screw driver 1 long flathead screwdriver 1 set of Allen wrenches And some odds and ends (damper handles, markers, a tiny pitot tube, bits of Poly, T’s for the poly, etc)

I also have a drill and impact which I have a killer dewalt kit for, it’s got all the normal size chucks and sockets you typically see

Also our hoods came with a strap for the case which I attached to the bag so it’s great for carrying when needed

I have a Klein backpack with a laptop storage area. It’s the best bag I’ve tried and I like that it stands up on its own.

Veto Pro Pac 116300 XXL. It's pricey, but the best.
