Conclusion:

We think this one is just very good value for money. The visibility and easy access are what many electricians want to have when on a job. This bag is light, tough and flexible and therefore ideal for sticking into into a van without getting damaged.


Many buyers got this one as it is slightly smaller than most totes and fits better in vans or cars. Also by having the tools inside the bag rather than external pockets means that things don't catch as you're moving the bag.

  1. I use the Klein Tool Bag most at work to keep all my tools in one place. I'm not an electrician, I work on PC and network equipment. However, it fits nicely on the various screwdrivers and pliers I keep along with picks and brushes. I can even mount a rubber mallet and voltage tester as well as a small cordless screwdriver/drill without any problems. Very solid and well built. I didn't have any problems with the zippers as other reviewers said. Be careful if it's smaller and/or not very strong, this thing is heavy even when empty.
