CLC Custom Leathercraft 1509 Zippered Professional Electricians Tool Pouch, 21 Pocket , Black

I bought this bag to replace my toolbag that was involuntarily relieved of and I have to say that sometimes bad things can lead to good things with this bag being a great purchase.I do a telecomm work and needed a bag that was lightweight, able to properly close as I climb a lot of ladders and would hate for a tool to fall, and big enough to fit a variety of tools. This bag does all of this well along with having good build quality for the price. While some of the materials used are on the cheaper side, I can confidently say that the important stuff like the zipper and shoulder strap are well made and will last. I probably put around 20 hours of strain on this bag a week for a work and it has held up well so far with little sights of wear.As far as the design goes, this tool bag with well thought-out with many quality of life features like a piece of Velcro to keep the bag open, a hammer loop, and a few small pockets for small accessories. The big pocket can fit a small case of fittings and other small necessities that you may have without comparising too much on space.One con I do have with this bag is the lack of padding on the shoulder strap which sometimes can become fatiguing after a while. The holsters take a while to break in as well and it might be annoying to get some of your screwdrivers in at first but everything will eventually loosen up.Overall this is a great bag for $50. I highly recommend this product for anyone who needs something lightweight toolbag that can fit a decent amount of tools.

I work on electric and water meters for a living. This type of job requires that I keep a great many tools on hand at all times. I get in and out of my truck about 40+ times per day, so, it is not the bag I want to carry to EVERY job, but is convenient for those jobs when I don't know what I'm going to need until I get to the meter.The outer flap has a velcro strap that secures underneath the bag to keep it open while you're working giving easy access to tools, especially when wearing heavy electrical rated gloves and protectors which greatly reduce the dexterity one might need to find a tool down in a bag. Everything is stored in an upright position so all the handles are right there. At other times, the outer flap zips up so that you don't have to worry about tools or other small parts flying out of the bag if you throw it on the backseat. Besides, if you use the right pocket for the right sized tool this shouldn't be a problem anyway as the pockets hold everything securely in place.Also, there is a hidden pocket under the cushion side of the bag for personal items or papers. Just lift the 1/4" flap to locate the zipper. I like to carry cheat sheets that remind me of the codes my job uses and for meter prefixes which tell me what kind of service I'm working on, what the voltage is... etc. Wallets, money, licenses, etc. can be easily carried in this functional pocket. Since it sits next to your body while wearing it, it is not useful for any tools that will be needed while working. But, if you are using the bag for storage only this pocket is pretty deep and runs the width of the bag.I am a woman, but all the guys on my job liked the bag too. The shoulder strap can be easily detached, but they liked it just fine with the strap as well. We have tool bags (that the job gave us) that just have a handle, but sometimes you don't want to put your tool bag on the ground - some yards are just nasty... this bag makes it convenient to work by slinging the bag off to the side or back of your body, leaving your arms completely free to do the job. I carry a smaller bag when I just need my barrel lock key, wire cutters, and wiggy... but, this bag is for all those other jobs that are a little more complicated.It is constructed well for rugged use. I can tell that I will never have to replace this bag! The purchase price was well worth the money... would have even paid up to $20 more for it. Very good buy if you are looking for convertible storage that can be used on the job daily as well!

This bag is truly awesome. Good fit, good tool placement, extra pockets, slim enough to get up caged fixed ladders, big enough to swap tools in and out for different tasks. Amazing price point for the quality.Bonus : I removed the hammer hanger and the bag fits into my daily carry backpack for a tool insert. I love this bag.

I've had this bag for a couple of months and use it as the primary tool bag for electrical, plumbing, data, and general maintenance work as an amateur. It took a bit of time figuring out the best way to pack it so just about every tool I need for whatever I'm doing is easily accessible and the bag still zips up, but once I did I found it to be much more convenient than any other tool bag I've owned.You can get a surprising number of tools in this bag, and unlike other soft-sided bags I've used the loops are big enough for cushion-handled screwdrivers, and the outer pockets are snug enough that tools don't fall out when you lay the bag on its side. The bag is much more comfortable to wear than I expected, and I normally keep it on with the Velcro strap holding the flap open while I'm working standing up. I find it much more comfortable and convenient than either belt-worn pouches or electrician-style soft boxes.I haven't owned it long enough to evaluate its durability, but the materials are very rugged and the zipper hasn't skipped teeth even when I jammed way too many things in it. CLC didn't scrimp on construction; metal rivets and hooks are used where a lot of manufacturers would have been happy with plastic that might last three months. The stitching is top-notch, as well, and the bag feels like it was built to the level of quality I associate with high-end messenger bag manufacturers.I have three issues with the bag: I can't fit my 9" side cutters inside the bag and have it zip up (though they and a 10" crescent wrench fit nicely in the cell phone pocket); the outside pockets are too small to accommodate thicker-handled pliers like the Klein Journeyman style, so my pump pliers won't fit; and I would like to have a tape measure hook on the outside. These are pretty minor things, however, and they haven't been a problem at all.
