Good quality tool bag?

[Leesparkykent]

CK bags are rubbish imo.

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.

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.

I purchased the Klein Ultimate electricians tool bag a couple of months back. Absolutely love it. So much better than my Stanley Fatmax backpack.
Not quite up there with the Veto Pro Pac (which my dad owns and swears by) but decent none the less.

I did replace my CK tool bag (zip failures AGAIN) - so this time I've tried a Klein Tools bag:

Tradesman Pro™ Ultimate Electricians Bag - 554181914 | Klein Tools - For Professionals since 1857 - https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/tradesman-pro-organizers/tradesman-pro-organizer-ultimate-electricians-bag-0

Sure its a bit more than the CK - but so far very impressed .......

I've used the blue CK tool bags for many years and they work well for me. Last time I bought one when I was passing through the UK it was the newer black type and it was well under 30 quid. Generally they last me about 3 years before one of the zips pack up. They may not be the best tool bags but I'm okay with them considering the price.

I don't really expect them to last too long, usually get overloaded anyway.

Veto pro packs are good but £200 to £300 and will make all your tools a target to be stolen, so unless you are jobbing round posh flats in London forget about that or the £300 bag and the £500 of hand tools get stolen in one hit.

I have a Stanley bag with a solid plastic tray base which is good, got it from amazon, only complaint is that the velcro wrap around on the handles fell apart after about a month
