Review on Graintex GB2897 Grab Bag Khaki Color Rip-Stop Canvas 18 Pockets Drawstring Closure, Mid Size by Bryan Gibbons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tough and useful good for me

Ebay is full of unvetted, off-brand crap. So these reviews are often the only way the average consumer can verify that a less expensive no-name product is worth the hassle of a potential return. I looked at the similar product from Milwaukee and others for twice the money and am perfectly happy that I chose this one. The material is a tough ripstop canvas that is stiff enough to keep the bag upright when it's open and keep tools in place if you use the outer pockets for that. But flexible enough to crunch down if you throw it in a tool tote or bucket. I do property maintenance so I need to haul around a variety of fasteners, wire nuts, etc. BTW, the outer pockets are of varying widths. Most are 3"-4" but there are a couple that are 1-1/2" and one about 5". That's perfect. Sometimes you need to put screwdrivers or a pencil in a narrow pocket and a measuring tape in a wide one. This item seems like it's going to do the job just fine.

Pros
  • Good way to keep up with bulk packs of screws, nut & bolts, or nails.
Cons
  • The rip-stop canvas material is not as durable as some other materials and can tear or fray over time, particularly with heavy use
