I have several Stanley tool box's that I use on the job site. I purchased this tool bag for quick jobs. It's light weight yet very tough and durable. Unlike most tool bags, this one has a rugged plastic bottom that helps absorb shock and prevents damage to tools if dropped. Also it's great on wet, dusty, or muddy surfaces. The handle has a rubber grip which goes over the straps for additional support and comfort(has shoulder straps as well). I have a good amount of heavy tools in there(about 25 pounds) and it shows no signs of wear or tear. It has plenty of space for all your tools and many pockets for accessories. This is one tool bag that can actually replace a lot of tool "box's". I am extremely impressed with the quality and craftmenship of the Stanley FatMax Tool bag.

Bigger than it looks. Pretty well thought out. And most importantly - HARD BOTTOMED - No wet bag! It holds a lot
but isn't big enough to tempt you to cram everything in it and not be able to lug it about. Two drills and extras and a whole lot of fittings and clamps and hand tools (cable installer). Works fine for my Son and is sturdy too. He swears by it.

I am a train mechanic, this tool bag meets my needs. The bag is well built but it needs smaller inside pockets to carry screwdrivers and pliers upright.

I used this bag for my roofing nailer supplies. It fits my nailer and hose perfect. Also has many pockets to hold smaller stuff. Very nice!!!!!!!

This bag holds lots of tools! I have 45 or 50 lbs. of tools in this bag already, and it shows no signs of stress
and is comfortable to carry with the handle or shoulder strap.
I think this bag will handle at least another 25 lbs. maybe more. Highly recomemended as a portable bag for mechanics or maintenance folks, and as a bag for plumbers, or fitters in shipyards such as myself.

I just received this tool bag in the mail and opened it up right away. I have accumulated a lot of different tools recently and really needed something other than my craftsman tool box to store and organize and this appeared to fit the bill. I am really impressed with how well made this item is, from just the sheer ruggedness to all of the pouches to help keep things separate. Im not really carrying this thing around on a job or anything but I think the FatMax line would hold up for that just fine. It has shoulder strap along with the very strong nylon handles...also a strong plastic shell at the bottom to protect your tools if the bag is dropped.

Honestly for the price this is a great buy. Good products and cheap prices are not often things that go hand in hand....rare enough are good products at any price point, so its great to see some companies can still get it right. When they do I have no problem giving a little free advertising up...something companies should really start to keep in mind.

I am a professional mechanic and use tools every day. I bought this to replaced a
plastic stanley tool box. It is very nice. Well made with pockets galore.
I wish though that some pockets were deeper and it had more on the inside.
Time will tell how this holds up overall. I've only been using it for a month
now.
I really like it and would buy another if this holds up. I think the hard bottom
on this is a plus.

First of all, this bag is pretty big! Now, this comes from someone who doesn't own a lot of tools, so maybe it just appears like I'm swimming in it, but it does have a lot of room for smaller tools as well as large power tools. I bought this so I can start building a toolset for myself. Since most of what I do is computer and electronics repairs, I plan to have quite a few plastic snap cases that will fit just fine in here. Around the outside are a few open pockets that can be used to hold pliers and little cases of screws, nails or other small items. Inside, it's literally an open bag without any dividers or supports of any kind, so its designed to carry larger items like drills and hammers. There are some internal pockets that can be used for holding more smaller items as well.

The bottom of the case is hard plastic which will not only extend the life of the bag, but also keep water, oil and other elements from soaking in and causing problems later. The two handles can be velcroed together and there is also a shoulder strap to help carry the weight. I have yet to fill this bag up with tools and at my rate, this will take some time, but at least I know I have the space!

All in all, a very nice bag that seems to be made of very high quality materials that will do fine on just about any job site.

I Got This Bag For My Husband For Christmas. With The Picture Provided On Amazon, I Was Not Very Sure On This Buy, Especially Seeing How I Am A Woman & I Have The Least Bit Knowledge About Tools Or Tool Bagss! But Based On The Reviews, As Well As The Price. This Was A Must Get! After I Recieved The Bag I Knew It Would Be Perfect For Him! For 30 Bucks, You Can't Go Wrong! It's Very VERY Sturdy & Durable! I Was VERY Impressed! Great Buy!

This is a quality, heavy duty bag. It's a fold out style "doctor bag" with a hard, flat bottom, so it does not roll around or tip over in a car. It's a made from a tough mesh fabric with a heavy duty zipper. It's fold out style allows you to really open it up and inspect the inside contents of the bag, just like old style doctor bags. As far as bags go, this is by far the easiest style of bag to rummage through, particularly with the flat bottom. There are also lot's of little pockets on the inside and out. I personally use this for resin casting tools and materials. It's easily the most perfect bag I have ever owned.

Durable shoulder strap is also included, which makes it great for a carry-on for use in travel.
If you need a bag of this approximate size, I wouldn't even consider any other bag.
