Good quality tool bag?

Dave_ · Feb 20, 2018

Hello all,

Can anyone a decent tool bag?

I’ve found the quality seems to get poorer and poorer and nothing lasts! The threads break and bits fall off, straps break, zips break.... tried Stanley, CK....

Thanks! Dave

What are you looking for, street cred or practicality?

Ck tech bags are a good bag

I've got the Stanley Fatmax rucksack. It's good.

I’ve got two veto pro pac’s. The tech XL and the tech pac. Very well made bags, cost a fair bit but definitely worth it.

I recently purchased a veto pro pac XL based on the recommendation in this thread and another. Very happy with it, 100% worth the price tag.

Dunno so much had one of them and the straps broke first the shoulder strap then one of the handle straps and the stuff I had in it wasn’t particularly heavy

Hmm, perhaps the Magma ones, the old ones though not so good.
Bought a new one because the zip on my old one was worn out.
Transferred my tools from the old to the new, picked it up to put on my shoulder, strap broke.
Got it replaced and the strap broke on the replacement after a couple of months.
Stitching just gave up.

I've used a Stanley Organiser tool bag for a few years and it's still in top condition. Best bag I've owned.

The stitching is going on mine, only lasted 6 years and been abused daily, they make nothing to last these days...

I agree ......... this was the last CK for me ........................ need better quality and don't mind paying a bit more.......

CK bags are rubbish imo.

Oli G · Apr 19, 2018

Stitching on shoulder strap of my ck magma backpack started going after about 12 months of use. I then purchased a veto pro pack and have never looked back. It's a lovely bag and good quality. So far it's been 2 years and going strong.

I do hope CK are reading this thread ..................

I am on my second CK open tote now. Probably had about 4-5 years of use between them, and I reckon my current one has another year or so in it. One of the main things I like about it is the roomy and spacious side pockets.

I would happily pay the huge cost of a veto, but their layout doesn't quite suit me. Only one I would consider getting is the OT-XXL but it's extinct as far as I can tell. I would buy one tonight if there was a bit of tweaking and slightly less emphasis on the VErtical Tool Orientation-ing - it has too many of them.

The veto looks great but it's 4x the price of the fatmax, just not worth it unless you have cash to burn.

Phil Thompson · Apr 20, 2018

I use a Dewalt tote, pouches up side for pliers etc, elastic up sides on inside for drivers and internal and external pouches at end as well, tape measure clip, short fine cut saw holder, and then in Centre I have hammer bolster, 450mm sds bits and a few other larger items, but everything easily found and easy to check everything’s back in place again after a job.

I have just loaded up my new toolbag tonight. Never seen nor heard of this particular bag until a few days ago.
First impressions are that it seems pretty decent for £100. It's huge, and have had to put my old CK shoulder strap on it as none supplied. I have played around with it tonight and the tools slide in and out a lot better than my old CK. Fnarr Fnarr!!
It's a Toughbuilt 30" open tote. I like how you can move the three different inserts about to suit your needs. Time will tell how well it will last but it seems pretty sturdy.
