User Reviews
In a word, I would describe this tool bag as adequate. There are plenty of compartments for all of your tools, and it's better than a toolbox in my opinion, but it seems to be designed to be more generic rather than having specialized compartments for specific tools. It definitely gets the job done, and it's nice quality, but I was hoping for something that would provide more organizational benefits.
Designing a more generic tool bag is obviously favorable because it can appeal to the broadest number of people. I was hoping for something more along the lines of "utility knife here, hammer here, square here, pencil here, tape measure here, etc". Instead there's all sorts of variously sized compartments that tools don't really fit into perfectly. It means not only wasted space, but also that tools don't really have a specific home so you have to search for them when you need them. Of course you could just remember where their home is, but if the bag enforced that for you, it would make things a lot easier.
The thing about this bag being a "bucket-less" organizer is that it means it's smaller and more easily squished into tighter spaces. It also means that the amount of real-estate available in the bag is reduced. A bucket organizer enforces that space within the bag remains constant while being able to put tools on the outside of the bag. Without the bucket, the tools on the outside collapse the bag onto itself and make it difficult to work with. But this is really just a minor point. It really comes down to a matter of preference. I personally prefer this bag to a bucket organizer, but I'm just a handy homeowner and not a professional contractor.
So sure I would recommend this product. Just understand the caveats. -- Convenient. Probably not the best tool organizer around
Nice size tool bag, I much prefer this to a bucket organizer. It is big enough to hold alot but not so big that it gets too heavy. Has alot of pockets to hold small items. Nice handles, easy to carry, well made, seems to be very durable. -- Nice Tool Bag
This is a nice little tool bag. Set it up in the morning for all the things you expect to be doing and it can save a lot of time. -- Handy Organizer
This bucketless organizer is great. It is small, but it has so many pockets and places for tools on the inside and the outside of it. You can overload the inside of it and it can handle it. Easy to carry with the two handles that are attached. -- Small, tough and strong
