It has a waterproof plastic bottom
The bag has a heavy-duty steel handle with rubber grip, and non-slip rubber straps for spirit level storage

Pros

Buyers like the open top design for visibility and accessibility, as it just makes life easier
Buyers also like the range of loops, pockets and holders
Once you take a bit of time to get the bag sorted, then you have easy access to screwdrivers, tape, pliers and they are visible and quick to access

Cons

A small number of buyers said the stitching was poor

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.
