I am very very pleased with my purchase of this bag. The construction is of excellent quality and it really can hold a whole lot of stuff. I bought this bag with the intention of carrying a selection of hand tools along with my cordless drill and some of its accessories to and from work. My main goal was to find something that would hold all of that and be easy to carry. It certainly holds everything I wanted it to and then some.

I had been planning on buying a smaller bag but then decided upon this model because I liked the look of it. Boy am I glad I did. One of the things I carry in it are my kneepads. If you are like me and you have a nice set of large kneepads make sure you take their size into account. I thought my tools would be swimming around in this large bag, but with those kneepads in there everything just fit. So if kneepads are one of the things you intend to carry choose your bag size and then buy the next one larger.

I gave this item four stars instead of five because of two, small quibbles. The first has to do with the internal pockets. Most of the pockets are pretty good sized, which is a good choice for holding a variety of tools, but it would have been nice if they would have placed narrower pockets on one of the sides for holding tools like screwdrivers or combination wrenches. As it is I have to put several screwdrivers or wrenches in each of the larger pockets. The second quibble is about the shoulder strap. Considering the potential weight that you might be carrying in the bag it would have been nicer if they would have included a wider strap with a real pad on it. Instead it is a fairly standard nylon strap with one of those useless rubber things that slides along it. If you have the bag loaded up and you have to carry it for more than a short ways you're going to be feeling it in your shoulder. I'll probably be investing some time at the sewing machine in fashioning a much beefier pad for this strap.

Those things aside I would highly recommend this bag to anyone at all, and I'm sure I'll be buying more of their stuff in the near future.

This is one terrific bag! I haven't a clue how they produce such a well made bag at such a low price. Very heavy duty.
I don't have enough tools in my life to fill a shoe box and I am not a carpenter, so you know that I had another purpose in mind. In the 90's I had a Sony Prosumer shoulder mount video camera and I bought a generic carpenters bag ($55 & no pockets) to carry it. I recently bought a Sony PDX10 and needed a new bag.
Well this bag not only has enough room for my video camera it also holds my digital still camera, my laptop (to view my videos) and pockets to hold every accessory needed plus all my socks and underwear if I am travelling. If you have an imagination this bag is a worthwhile albeit small investment.

I've had this bag for three years and it still looks as good as the day i bought it. Bought this when i got tired of throwing everything I needed in a bucket. Size is fantastic. Holds a ton of tools/supplies. I can even throw a cordless drill and charger in with the tools and still have plenty of room. Plenty of pockets inside and the gatemouth stays open easily.
I highly recommend this bag!!

I purchased this item as a gift for a dear friend who had way too many tools lugging around. It has cut down a lot on his bulk, but it's actually bulging from all the stuff he has.

I asked him recently to give me an opinion about the bag because I wanted to write this review and he seemed very happy with it. It is still in peak condition, so I assume it is a strong bag. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a similar product.

This is a great bag, lots of pockets, the 'gate mouth' concept works well and the zipper is easier to zip one handed than non-gate mouth bags. (The gate mouth means it has a rigid opening that opens up very wide, the rigidity is provided via some heavy gauge steel wire which is why zipping the bag up is a lot easier than a non rigid mouth bag and also makes the opening stay open as its widest without effort.) The bag is very tough, well put together and someone else mentioned that the pad on the shoulder strap could be bigger - I agree however it isn't a deal breaker. (If you over stuff the bag, you should expect to get a sore shoulder whether the pad is small or large.)

I honestly can't say anything bad about the bag - I've had it for something like a couple of months and it does exactly what it needs to and hasn't shown any problems in build or design quality.

I bought this bag as a tool bag but it didn't get much use as one. After giving it some test runs with tools i wasn't quite sure how to fit it into my truck tool boxes. After bringing it into the house one day my daughter used it for a overnight bag and liked it. It works great for packing extra clothes for the little ones, and Daddy likes to show it off. Maybe some day it will end up back in the work truck or maybe i'll get another one. Just a well built bag {for anything}

I'm using my bag to hold off-road gear. This includes my winch remote, shackles, hitch receiver with hook, tow straps, gloves, flashlight, etc. The bag is very heavy duty with tightly woven material and holds everything I wanted plus more. I'm very happy with the quality and design.

I bought both a larger and smaller Boss Bucket(just for drill and bits)..very satisfied...they will last a long time

Ive owned this bag for 3 years and its still going strong. It carries a huge amount of tools. The shoulder strap is very strong, the amount of tools I carry everyday in this bag should have broke it long ago, like other guys (want to be bucket boss bags) straps breaking, and then using a piece of wire to replace it. Nothing but thumbs up for this bag, and for bucket boss !

Great product and good value for the money. Super strong and well made. I found so many uses for mine that I got a 2nd one.
