I ordered these pouches after an unbelievably long web search. Originally, I was in the market for a Klein black cordura ballistic nylon "zipper bag". I found one here on amazon, and elsewhere on the web, but with shipping, the bags didn't seem worth anymore. I searched again, and found something similar from a local art store here in nyc, but the problem was the material was too flimsy. My final search led me to these gems.

Originally designed to hold documents, and financial papers, I use these pouches mainly to store hand tools. For storing papers and documents, I would rate these pouches 5 stars. For storing tools, I give these pouches 3.5 stars.

The master lock pouches are made of one piece of heavy cordura nylon--not ballistic cordura nylon--sewn together at the side, and along the bottom. This is in contrast to Klein zipper bags which are sewn at the sides, with the bottom seamless. If you are like me and want to store a lot of tools in these pouches, you really don't want to worry about your bags busting at the seams, and having a bottom seam there in these master lock pouches is a bit worrisome. But on the bright side, these pouches (10 x 8 inch) are incredibly inexpensive. Three for $8.50!! can't be beat. One klein zipper pouch (12 x 7 inch) costs $12 in comparison.

The package says each storage bag is 11" W x 6" H, but, with the bag lying flat, the exterior dimensions are 10.75" W x 6.5" H x .5" D, and the interior dimensions are 10.25" W x 6" H x .25" D. However, the zipper limits the opening to 10" W which reduces the effective interior dimensions to 10" W x 6" H x .25" D. Each bag weighs 2.25 oz.

The bags are sturdy and feel good to open, close, and hold. The bags have slight cosmetic defects that do not affect their operation. These defects vary among the bags and include a sixteenth of an inch of excess material at the top of the bag and an improper alignment of materials surrounding the Master Lock logo.

To whomever it may concern, the package also says: "WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling."

These bags are a useful size and they are very inexpensive, but the construction is poor. When I tried to remove the cardboard stiffener insert, it was so tight that despite gentle tugging, the cardboard caught a zipper and ripped the zipper off the bag. So I never got to use that bag. If you buy these bags, try to cut the cardboard while it is still inside the bag and remove it piecemeal. But don't count on the zipper remaining attached to the bag if it will receive much use! If you need a more durable bag, buy something else. I wouldn't buy these again and really don't recommend them. Although I won't buy any more Master Lock products, the seller was very fast ship and I wouldn't hesitate to buy other products from the seller.

These bags are perfect for keeping things organized. I carry a laptop backback around with me a lot. I also carry a multitude of other things in the backpack. I use a few of these to keep things together and they work great. A Sharpie works perfect on the blue material to label them. Plus, they're inexpensive, so you can't loose!

hi,
i bought this to keep petty cash in. it does the job well. i noticed that it had some bad craftmanship.. the stitching on the edges were crooked/the cut of the fabric was uneven.. yadda yadda.. but doesn't deter from its purpose. love that it comes in a 3-pack, but i've only been using one.

I just wanted something to stick checkbooks in, some cash, coupons, etc. Definitely overkill for what I wanted, but at this price, I figured why not. I can see a lot of various uses for these - very well made and protective.

I bought this when I was looking for sturdy puncture-proof bag to carry sharper tools in. The zippers open and close smoothly enough and the material is waterproof and thick-tough. However, the pouches smell terrible - rubber or plastic out-gassing odors. Hoping the fumes will clear up if I let it air out a few days.

These are very flat pouches. I would prefer something with sides, a box-shaped pouch. I'll look around some more and see if I can find any in the right size here on Amazon.

Not much to say. You get 3 bags for the price of one. They work and are exactly what I wanted.

I bought this to have something in my car to put all of my papers into so they are in order and do not get lost. This is a very sturdy bag that looks like it will hold up well for years to come.

Not happy with the price of other simple vinyl bank bags, I gave this pack of 3 master lock bags a try. The bags come as pictured and have a nice blue professional exterior. Would have been nice if each bag was a different color, but not a big deal. Also the Master Lock logo is on a vinyl patch which is quite large, but again not a huge issue.

These bags are nice and simple with a zipper along the top that opens all the way to the edges. The zipper is definitely the weak link and feels a bit rough. There are also some frayed fabric edges along the zipper already, though they are more cosmetic issues than anything.

For simply storing bank documents and bringing things back and forth from the bank these will work perfect. For those wanting to use them for more heavy duty tool storage, I would not recommend them.
