Review: I LOVE this bag for the simple reason it keeps my ... - I ordered this for my husband to help him keep his tools organized in a more portable way since he is the only "handyman" in my family that is full of nothing but women. He is constantly doing odd and end things for my sisters and mom that range from wood work, mechanical fixes, auto repair among other things. My husband always would grab his duffel bag and throw everything he thought he may need for that "fix" and go. The problem is that he would always have to put his tools back up or they would end up all over our house. This bag has helped tremendously. Every tool has a place to where he can now carry alot of multi-use tools so he can keep everything in one bag and grab the bag for those handyman jobs he is constantly doing. I LOVE this bag for the simple reason it keeps my house clean and his tools in one place when they are inside. The bag is very sturdy and well made with good quality materials and the zippers work great. The weight of the bag with all of his tools is comfortable on his back and the zippers appear to be strong enough to hold up to the weight well. I would recommend this bag to anyone.
Review: Profesional HVAC/R tech here - I work HVAC/R and I had the old sling style bag and a bucket bag before I bought this. This is by far the best bag I’ve bought in some time. We do a lot of cleanings in the winter and during service calls it’s great that the bag is on my back. I’ve gone into some questionable basements this season (hoarders) and my old bag was extremely hard to maneuver through said tight spaces. It was exhausting and sometimes pretty painful carrying a 30-40lb tool bag in front of your body with no leverage. Fast forward, I’ve had the bag for a month now and wow, it is much easier to get in an out of homes and businesses, I still bring in the bucket, mainly just something to sit on at this point. The designers did a great job in the placement of the pockets and the accessibility is great. It holds all my electrical tools; my multi, a set of bits and a drill in the big compartment. The big compartment fits all your larger pliers also. The from pocket is great for the quick tools, like smaller wrenches, cutters etc. good stuff. I would definitely recommend buying this if you work in the trades or just want an extremely durable professional grade tool backpack. Once I got one everyone in my shop is switching to this or the CLC equivalent (brand preference).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best tool bag you will ever have
*by R***B on May 22, 2024*

Hands down, this tool bag/backpack is absolutely worth just about whatever it costs. From durability to storage, this backpack offers that and so much more. The built in rotating light is a brilliant idea, especially with the cutout that allows the light to shine inside the bag so you can see everything. Before this backpack, I had several different quality bags that more than did the job. But this backpack is like upgrading from top of the line Honda to a top of the like Lexus. The Honda is amazing and a fantastic car, but it’s not a Lexus. It’s hard these days to get quality and good prices, and even though it’s a tad pricey, this bag fits the criteria of “worth it”
