Sears.com has the Craftsman Tool Bags 2-Pack for $7 + shipping. Shipping is about $6, or pick up in-store to avoid shipping. Includes one 10 in. and one 12 in. tool bag, featuring Tuftwear abrasion-resistant fabric with reinforced bottom stitching on each bag.
they have it in store to.
$7.50 now. Sounds like weak construction is a problem with these, but should work fine for around the house jobs.
got 2 today. they are decent bags to store the small junks laying around my garage. wait for the 13in bags (2 for $10 a couple of months back) if you want larger bags.
Perfect for climbing utility poles to steal the copper wire. Not so good compared to a regular toolbox for home use.

The power companies use steel and aluminum cables overhead. The only thing your gonna get up there is fried to a cinder when you tap that 34,400 line.
The copper is in the drops that go down to the buildings.

There's lots more wire to steal than only main power cables and in a drop, you kinda need to get to both ends, no?
Actually, a one-handed ratchet cutter works great on cables up to 600mcm. Just make sure your wearing dielectric gloves and the insulation on the cutters is still good.
And when your climbing, it's best to carry only what you need (your rabbit gun) and pull the cables down thru the mast. Let gravity do all the work.
The real trick is to take as much of the electrical load off of the cables before cutting(less chance of arcing and crispy critters).
But, the gold mine is in the switch gear;
Lots of copper bussing and large distribution cabling.
