DEWALT DGL523 Lighted Backpack 57 Pockets Review

I bought this bag in May it's July now and one of the main zips broke. Since it has double sliders, I can still close the zipper easily. This is very disappointing as I really liked the pockets and the size of the bag. It's durable and lightweight, but not great when it's raining. I had papers in the front zip pocket and they got mixed up. I really thought it would last with a brand like Dewalt. I have to rate this bag as one of the worst I've used in my 30 years in the field. At this point in…

I am an air conditioner builder in Sokal. In the summer I make 6 to 8 calls a day for 13 consecutive days. It lasted less than 6 weeks of use. I called Dewalt about the warranty and was told a third party would take care of it. I didn't have time to contact a third party for a guarantee until the recent cooling trend, but I will. This is not a product recommended for intensive use. I've been using this DEWALT DG5582 11" Power & Repair Tool Holder with Parts Tray for years and loved it, but…

I am very impressed. I was hoping it would be strong and light, which is a tricky combination, and it is. The light rises to illuminate the work area and when lowered illuminates the tools inside so you can see what you're taking. What I immediately noticed (checked) was the cross strap on the shoulder strap. With other backpacks I had problems with loosening the cross strap. This one is very hard. Instead of snapping at the edge like most crossover straps, it wraps around each shoulder strap…

This backpack has almost everything my son needs when he goes to someone's RV to fix something. He has a work truck and it has everything under the sun, but he keeps the things he needs most in his backpack and he loads what he needs for each meeting depending on what's said. Inside everything is very well done and thought out. One feature we all love is the light. The LED illuminates the inside of the backpack from both sides and swings in two different directions so you can see what needs to…

I cannot describe how much I love this backpack. I know it's a small thing, but the two handles on top are just great. usually when i pick up a backpack with heavy things, the zippers open and the bag opens. two handles on it prevent this. Now let's move on to the backpack itself - it has many pockets, including pockets of various sizes on the back (the side with shoulder straps). The zipper allows the entire flap to lay flat for easy access to all your tools. It is also elastic on the inside…

Update: The Klein I mention below is fantastic and still going strong after 8 months. Be sure to buy! In fact I can buy a spare because in a few years if it ever wears out I want to make sure it's in stock. I was happy to try. I've been a field engineer for 25 years. Unfortunately I hated it after receiving it. It was cumbersome with two pages and had a lot of wasted space with a billion tiny pockets too small to use. There was little or no space for zipper storage. And the pockets were so…
