    Tool Caddy Recommendations

    I have a '06 519VX and have bought 2 tool caddy's from Cabelas that are suction cup style. Neither's suction cups last very long. Researched this and other websites for better options, but either links are bad (old threads) or just not finding what I think I am looking to install. What can others recommend for having pliers, scissors, etc. handy near the console. I do not use pedestal seats, so those options would not work.

    Thanks,
    Brian

    I did a search, but due to the age of a lot of the threads, the links were HTTP 404 Error. Also, a lot of them were pedestal tool caddy's. Of which I referenced I do not use a seat. I prefer to stand and move around.

    That was my next option in lieu of drilling holes and using hardware to mount. However, push come to shove, I will bolt it in place if I find that I cannot find any alternative.

    I have been using this one now for two years. So far I am pleased with it.

    I've got one that I ordered off of Tacklewarehouse from ProCise outdoors. Really like it. Got the three hold model - holds scissors, pliers, and jaw spreaders. Theres also small holders for dye markers.

    I've used this Rapala 3 tool holder for several years. Works very well for pliers and scissors. Had to re-tape recently with gorilla two sided tape. I never sit either always stand. Probably have to sit one day, but at 58 I'm still able to fish all day with no issues.

    Tool Keeper https://www.amazon.com/Fishing-Keepe...9082992&sr=8-4

    Put one of these on a Triton Aluminum I used to own...great little tool keeper..inexpensive. Holds pliers/scissors/etc...and doesn't take up much room.
