Learn the limitations of them. That¹s the big lesson I learned years
ago. The idea is you should have some ³bolt bags² on you as well. Use the
bolt bags to hold tools which you are going to use immediately or near
future and hold, what else, bolts and nuts. Most climbers do not take the
kitchen sink up with them. They take what tools they will need and maybe a
couple of multi-purpose tools such as adjustable wrenches.
If you are doing installs you should have multiple tool bags. For
example, say you are putting up 3 standoffs with sectors on them. When you
haul the standoffs up you should have a canvas bag attached to each
standoff. This bag contains the hardware needed to mount that standoff and
whatever else needs to be put on that standoff (if it¹s not already). At
that point all you are carrying are some small handtools. The wrench(s) are
in the bag attached to the first standoff.
Granted you can¹t carry everything up with you for a repair, but you
don¹t need to. If you are unsure drag a rope behind you. Sure it might
take a few extra moments to pull something up, but it means you are not
taking every tool you own up the tower too.
As far as the bag tipping and wanting to collapse tie the bag off with a
biners so it does not slide. If you have big tools such as drills that want
to slide out of the bag get biners on them and tie them off somewhere.
