Review on Klein Tools 5541610-14 Tool Bag with Shoulder Strap: 40-pocket Storage for Tools, Vibrant Orange Interior by Joe Lara

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really great bag except for one small thing

This is a really solid tool bag and I love the deep pockets and shaped bottom. I'm a home remodeler and sometimes you drop your tool bag in a bathroom puddle or something without realizing it and the next day the water rusts on some of your tools. The molded bottom avoids that little problem, and as long as you don't make it too heavy, the bag stays right where you put it. My only complaint is that the feature is not mentioned on the site. All small vertical pockets have a small elastic band to prevent tools from falling out. I think this strap is too strong because it makes it harder than usual to put the tool back in your pocket. I use non-Knipex brand tools and their pliers have pretty sharp corners on the working end, so I'm worried about ripping my pocket when I have to push the pliers through the rubber band. This is actually very practical for screwdrivers and the like, but can be a bit annoying with wider objects such as pliers or wire strippers.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Big and bulky
