Greater than one weekthis bag is great....ive been thru countless craftsman bags,and while i liked them,i wore them out quick.i was worried with some reviews saying it was TOO big,but trust me ..its just right.in my profession i try to carry as much as possible in my bag to avoid trips to the truck.this bag fit everything i had in my old bag with a lot of room to spare.the center compartment is the right size to fit my bosch pocket driver,pliers and socket extensions in. the plastic compartment in the bottom holds all the little stuff and is easy to get to.i have to say it...ill never buy another brand bag as long as this is available.

> 3 dayI bought this to hold my standard household tools. Before this I had a standard toolbox with a lid and a widemouth zip-up tool bag. The lidded toolbox worked fine, but you always had to unlatch it to get to your tools, then relatch it later, and sometimes I just wanted to be able to go grab what I needed quickly, so I would leave it unlatched, and tools would start accumulating around it on the shelf. So I got myself a widemouth canvas tool bag. It was large and had a plethora of pockets for all of my goodies, but I found that it would sag and fold down over the pockets sometimes making it difficult to get to things. Plus its overall floppiness annoyed me. Enter the LeatherCraft 1528. Pockets to hold everything I need, stiffness and open design to aid in the location and procurement of my required tools, easy grab handle and supercool looks. I currently have the following in mine. Ratcheted multibit screwdriver Cordless driver Corded Drill drill bit, screwdriving tip and socket sets - all in small square cases. 12 extension cord (for my drill) Alien multitool for mtn bike Channel lock pliers 3 small pliers crescent wrench Staple gun with staples standard claw hammer Household nail set on outside - Nails, screws, drywall anchors, etc in container on bottom. Other Small items: Safety glasses, glue, wd40, small ratcheted wrench screwdriver, gloves, magnetic studfinder, file, pencil, boxcutter, tape measure. There is room for 5 or 6 more small tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches. Bottom Line: If you are an average home owner and weekend handyman, this is the tool carrier for you.

> 3 dayGreat bag but I wish they would put a little more effort into boxing items the RIGHT box would make a huge difference instead of jamming it in a small box

> 3 dayI purchased this tool carrier after looking at several online and in retail stores. The quality of this bag is far greater than any other bag I have looked at or purchased within the same price range ($17-$50). It has more than enough pockets for all the tools I need. I am an A/V installer and I use several different hand tools specifically made for each individual cable. The biggest thing I like about this product is the weight. After I took everything out of my old bag, added more things, this bag seemed to have weighed less. Since then, I have been purchasing higher grade tools and focusing on weight. Now I have a completely full tool bag and it feels next to nothing. I highly recommend this to anyone.

> 3 dayAllows easy access to your tools, which gives you more time to actually do your job instead of hunting for the right tool.Saves me at least 30 to 45 minutes a day.

> 3 dayI went through two different setups prior to getting this bag. One full on tool belt wearing with all my tools in it, then I tried a different bag provided by my company. I tried both of these for one month straight each. This bag now is hands down a thousand times better. I have one small tough built tool pouch that I click on my side for my necessary constantly used hand tools. Then this bag I have to carry everything else in. I bought a second larger plastic container that I swapped the one that comes in with. I load all my necessary stuff in them and it fits perfectly. I keep a small thick plastic bag in the center that I use for trash and other things needing to be disposed of. I get compliments from customers all the time about how well organized it is. The only con about this tool bag is the tall handle likes to flop over. I fixed this by inserting thin steel rods into the fabric on either side and securing with zip ties at the top and bottom. You can hardly tell its there but it keeps the handle straight up right now. For the price of this thing and its ease of use, this easily exceeds the value for the money and I would definitely recommend to anybody else. If something were to happen to this bag tomorrow, such as it tears or breaks, I would be on here the very next minute ordering another one.

> 3 dayI took a long time looking around for the right tool carrier for my new wood turning hobby and this electricians tote turned out to be exactly what I needed. Because I started off turning wooden pens and lots of small parts are required, the storage tray tray hidden in the base of the bag comes in very handy for keeping bushings, brass tubes, spare parts, etc. organized and readily available. Plenty of pockets, zippered compartments, nooks and crannies are very satisfying if youre the kind of guy who likes to keep your stuff conveniently located as well as portable. Besides loving this tool carrier, I am writing this review because there is a tip I want to share that has to do with the condition the item arrived in when Amazon shipped it. Youll notice in the pictures of this tool carrier the handle flaps stand straight up and down. They are in fact pretty rigid and designed to stand up out of the way of the storage on either sides of the tote. Unfortunately, when mine arrived it had been packed in a box that required the handle flaps to be pushed down to one side. As a consequence, the flaps would not stand up even when I loaded the bag up and suspended it over night in an effort to get them to straighten out. This may not seem like a big issue but I found with the flaps bent to one side, I was having a hard time getting to items stored on that side of the carrier. After a few weeks of this and nearly on the verge of deciding to return the tote, I came up with a solution. I figured there had to be some kind of a plastic insert inside those flaps keeping them rigid so if I could heat them up a little I might be able to straighten them out. I took a small hair dryer my girlfriend leaves at my house and used this to warm up the flaps while the bag was suspended. I moved the hair dryer around a lot to keep from burning the canvas covering and I worked on both sides of each flap alternating back and forth. After about 5 minutes of this the annoying curvature in the flaps relaxed and my tool carrier now looks like the one in the picture. I left the carrier hanging up overnight and there hasnt been any relapse into the bent position. Go ahead and order this nifty tool carrier if you think it will suit your needs and if you run into the same problem I did just pull out a hair dryer and in 5 minutes or so, it will be like you bought it off the shelf at your local hardware store.

Greater than one weekI use a tool bag daily for work. I perceived the CLC brand to be good. This bag is not well engineered or construced. The shoulder strap is too long. I am 59 and cannot make the strap short enough to reach tools while the bag is on my shoulder. The shoulder pad on the strap was not sewn correctly. The inside of the pad was not stitched and is falling apart since the first time I wore it. The plastic container is a nice size, but I. Unable to latch and unlatch it easily. Other than that, the bag is fine ......

> 3 dayI bought this to replace my work craftsman toolbag, I should have done this years ago. Tool bag features plenty of pockets and clips for all the goodies you carry. I really like the carry handle, good padding for a loaded bag, the shoulder strap has a decent pad and comes in handy for long hikes. One welcome item is the plastic parts tray in the bottom, it goes almost unnoticed but is great for all the small parts and hardware that used to tumble to the bottom of my old bag under the tools. Only one issue so far, a support rod worked out of the carry handle, I got it reinserted, too soon to tell if I will have to address further. I would not hesitate to purchase another, price is right and it is made well.

> 3 dayThis bag is great. I am pool tech and I carry a lot of tools. This bag fits all my needs and still have room for more. The bottom parts tray is bigger then I thought. The bag is the perfect size, not to big and not to small. The pockets are well stitched and are in great spots to keep everything organized.
