Review on πŸ”§ Brown Utility Pouch with FlapFit by Bucket Boss - Original Series Pouches (54170) by Tyler Cooley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lightweight, EASY on and off

A picture speaks a thousand words etc. I am a homeowner of a mini-ranch in suburban Phoenix. Horses, dogs, fences, etc. I basically carry this bag all day while lounging, doing chores, hanging out in the man cave, etc. Anytime I find a loose gizmo, I can fix it without going and getting to need the tool box. The content I keep in my bag changes a bit from time to time. For example, when I'm working with HVAC, I add a screwdriver with some 1/4-5/16 nuts for the panel screws. When I do anything with electric pixies, I add a clamp to the gauge. etc. It seems to me that the size of the pouch is pretty damn close to ideal for this configuration. I always have enough room to add maybe 3 or 4 screwdrivers, pliers or wrenches for a special occasion and it won't overwhelm the bag. Then, when you're done with that project, remove the special tools and you're back to a lighter, more streamlined version. I think the lightness factor that some call LOW is a positive in my opinion. Nylon is really very thin. My guess is that after a year a hole will form in the nylon with a screwdriver or large hemostats. For ten dollars next year this problem is solved. Just think of it as a consumable. I'm sure you could find a leather oxford case that would last a few decades without the screwdriver issues. But you will pay a hundred dollars for it and it will weigh 3-4 times more than this. Perhaps what I like best is the belt clip. There are no drawers to put the thing on. It slides on and closes very easily, very securely with a LARGE Velcro surface. MUCH more secure and easier to attach than something with metal clasps. And MUCH easier and with fewer small parts than those two-piece plastic clips. The tools I usually carry with me all day can be seen in the photos. Arizona residents can identify Freight by Bay's extra-long hemostatic forceps and UV/black light flashlight. Do double duty as a scorpion hunting tool and may come in handy during one of those '60s LSD memories when you need a monster-sized roach clip and want to light up that fluorescent Jimi Hendrix poster you'll have forever.
