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.
