Good tool bag at Power & Hand Tools

I work as a handyman to make some money and I need a tool bag that gives better access to my tools. I can fit all my essential tools in it, with different compartments and a few small pockets to keep my tools organized. The shoulder strap makes it handy when I'm working and need easy access to my tools. When I climb stairs, I attach the harness to the ladder, which saves me the hassle of climbing stairs to get my tools or put them away. The construction of the bag is quite solid. There are some downsides, but it's a bit picky. I have a feeling they made the shoulder strap carabiners a bit cheaper. They don't rotate at all so I kept unwinding the strap so the bag could be carried on the shoulder. Rather annoying. I finally got some fuss from Home Depot to fix this problem. Swivel hooks should be standard. It would also be nice if at least one carrying handle was offered as an accessory. My wife made me one so I can quickly grab my bag and go without fiddling with the shoulder strap. Also, I'm not sure I like the tape as I can't easily wind or remove a roll of teflon tape. A thong style halter would be better in this regard. A tape measure holder would be great. Overall this is a good bag and very comfortable. With a few adjustments it could be even better.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Not bad
