I’ve never had a proper tool bag before. As a home DIYer I’ve just had loose tools on shelves in the garage. I finally got fed up of running up and down stairs to get the next tool I needed on a job. This thing is great. I can fit most things in and I have a few other tools to add - like some scissors to stop borrowing the kitchen ones. I may even get a shorter, wider one for longer tools that are less frequently used.
Let’s see your tool bags and setup.
My current but constantly evolving tool bag setup lol
Looks great. Nice and tidy and purposeful. How do you find that style of bag? Is opening and closing it a faff?
It’s a Klein canvas bag. The two belt straps to close it are a pain so I just don’t “lock” it closed, a zipper would of been preferred. I love the metal rail going around the outside though, it keeps it wide open for easy access. There are pockets on the inside but they’re all like 8" deep and a lot of my smaller tools get lost in the pockets and can be a pain to get out. So I bought the Gedore belt pouch for better quick access to all the most used tools and keep the bigger/less useful stuff in the bag.
I’m big on buying made in USA or union/fair wage stuff which limits my options, this is the best setup I found so far.
