Tool bags and totes typically have a lot of pockets and slots incorporated into their design. Many of these are moulded or specific to a type of tool and will allow you to store and carry your tools without the risk of them moving around or breaking. Look for a tool bag that has plenty of pockets to enable the storage of smaller tools, like drill bits and screwdrivers, while larger power tools can sit comfortably in the main section of the bag.
