I am a professional remodeler. I ordered this bag as an organizer for my fasteners, drilling and driving gear. I shelled out the 50 dollars due to the rave reviews, but was disappointed in the overall build of the bag. The weight of the nylon was not as heavy as my Bucketboss bags, and the removable top tray was remarkably thin and flimsy. I expected a heavy polyethylene (or similar) tray - like a high end standard toolbox. Instead it felt like HDPE (milk jug) plastic. I was not at all confident it would hold up to daily wear and tear. Also, the bag itself is very soft-sided, which made getting the tray in and out quickly quite difficult.

this was exactly what I wanted at a favorable price. We checked local stores including Home Depot and Lowe's but no one carried this particular model. It could be special ordered at a price higher than Amazon's price.

This bag has all the interior pockets, as well as exterior pockets that you'll need. Removable tray is great for smaller items or $$$ small test monitors. Large bottom section holds manifold and hoses with room for more. The only thing missing is a small plastic tote for electrical connectors. But there's room for it too.

Pros:
Great size. I really like the "squared off" hinged top style of this bag, rather than the standard tool bags that have the "clam shell - pinch it together" type of closures. (In my opinion, the standard bags are quite poor in design as they kinda "rob" you of storage space because everything that fits when the bag is open is not what fits when you need to close the bag! grrr.) The size of this bag makes it just about perfect as my "all around multi purpose I've got most any hand tool that I might need for most service and/or repair job" kinda bag. (Plus room for a cordless drill, extra battery & charger too.) It seems tough & built to last.

Cons:
As a previous reviewer had mentioned, the plastic tray is darn near worthless. It's cheap & flimsy. I'm glad that I read that person's review 1st so that I wouldn't be dissapointed. Not an issue for me though, I simply ditched the plastic tray, & gained more inside height for bulkier items (drill, charger...)and use smaller canvas bags for specialty tools. I wish that I could submit design revisions directly to CLC on this bag, as I would reccommend some minor design changes. I would tell them to omit the tray alltogether, add some more internal pockets, perhaps a "snap in place" pocketed tool wall, and also add a darn tape measure clip!

Over all a great value. I would reccommend this bag.

This bag is awesome. This bag is tough durable and high quality. I would recomend it to anyone. It has tons of pockets wich works out great for me. The removable tray is really nice to.I work in the apt maint industry so I can put my bag on the cart and have all the tools I need when I am running service or take it in punch and have everything. You cant go wrong with it especially for the price.

This bag is EXCELLENT. It is clearly designed and built for durability and function. First of all, it's a great size... not too big, not too small. A great multi-purpose bag. Secondly, it has great features, like the built-in supports for the removable top tray, which keep the tray and its contents from resting on (and crushing) the objects below, but don't take up any space -- and actually serve to cushion and protect the objects in the main compartment. The tray itself is strong, and deeper than I expected. (In the picture it looks like it would only be deep enough to hold a few wrenches but it is a full 4" deep and holds A LOT MORE.) The pockets are numerous, of varying sizes (all useful), and fully line both the outside AND the interior. And lastly, the bag looks and works great. The dark neutral colors hide dirt and smudges well, and the canvas and zippers are heavy duty so I expect this bag will continue to look great and last for a long time to come.

Love this bag... it's WORTH EVERY PENNY.

THIS IS A GREAT BAG KEEPS IT'S SHAPE LIKE A HARD SIDEED BOX VERY ROOMY AND VERY WELL MADE RECOMED TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY GOOD BUY QUALITY PRODUCT
