Tool Bag Buying Guide

As you can see these tool bags are all pretty similar in price and their functionality. Essentially they hold tools, and as they are quick and easy to open, you can find your tools pretty quickly.

Some of these will have dividers, and some will have sections where you can store smaller items. The intent of these is that you can keep the tools you use the most, and easily transport them around from job to job.

I have a couple of these. In one I store my electrician tools like screwdrivers, pliers, cutters a meter, tape, fuses etc. In the other bag I keep some spanners and a socket set, along with drill bits.

Fabric

These are all made from a tough wearing fabric. They are all hard wearing and will last for a very long time. The bottom of these bags are almost always reinforced with plastic. That helps protect the tools and contents inside, and also keeps the bags waterproof.

Who Needs a Tool Bag?


Most people who are in a trade will more than likely own at least one of these bags. That is especially true if they move about from job to job. Many technicians. electricians and computer engineers will have on of these as standard.

Many homeowners will also have one of these, and again especially if they don't own a tool box. These are a good option for people in that position.
