Traveling with tools - suggestions for "luggage"
I bought a rental property 1,000 miles away and need to go do some "fixer upper" work. Just miner projects. I'm contracting out the big stuff this time. But I will need to travel (by air) to the home to do some work that I don't want to outsource. I'm planning on taking the basic tools only, nothing too big. Cordless drill, hand tools, etc.
I travel a lot for work, so I'm familiar with what can/cannot be checked and the baggage size/weight restrictions
My question has more to do with suggestions for the type of "baggage" to use. For those of you who have done this, did you just use a suitcase? Travel tool box which would be more practical but weigh more? Just ship them to your destination? I can be without the tools for a week before/after the trip so FedEx is a viable option.
