I want to buy my apprentice a new tool bag as a birthday present so not looking to spend a fortune like buying a veto pro pac or Klein bag..He has a good collection of hand tools and would like to get him something that they could all fit in but with some organisation. I like the look of the fatmax plumbers bag but has anyone got any suggestions? Cheers

I've just got one of the armeg tote's which is quite a decent bag, I paid about £ 30.00 so not mega expensive.

That bags the spitting image of the facom bag. Did you buy it online for that money?

No mate my local Electric center, They are not too dissimilar to the ck tote either, but a decent bag for the money.

The fatmax bag is doing me well. Takes a good knock and you can fit tons in there. I've posted a photo of my daily kit in it and out of it. Either take a look or I'll put it back on the forum. It doesn't beat free but you can get them for around £36.

As requested - you know what the bag looks like. Comfortable over a distance. Have mine up to 18kg on a good day but split it with some Stanley 12" bags if I'm hitting stuff on a job.

Just replaced my CK Technician's Tool Case for the same. Old one had a broken zip after four years use and was actually the 'plus' version with the rubber base, but otherwise identical. It's used mostly for second fix tools and some small items of test equipment.

Nice kit @HandySparks. The boys got a Drummel voltage indicator - quality. Great to see the tools of your trade in front of you. I love my kit.

Ive got a ck tech case which ive had for years when finally the zip ripped at the seam, fancied something different so bought a veto tech xl had it around 6 months now i think and i prefer the ck technician case alot more, cant go wrong with them.
