Makita 831253-8 Contractor Tool Bag, 14

Arrived in clear plastic bag, so if youre ordering it as a gift, just a heads up. The bag seems solid and while the exterior pockets are tight, theres plenty of room inside for tools. Think itll do the job just fine.

I got this bag to hold the Makita XSH03Z 6 1/2 circular saw. It seems to be a perfect fit for the saw, a 4.0 Ah battery, the manual in a side pocket, and some saw blades on the bottom. I doubt it would hold a 7 1/4 saw. The exterior of the bag feels like its made of a pretty heavy, sturdy material, although I havent had it long enough to know how it will hold up over time. The exterior pockets seem to made of the same material. There are three exterior pockets on each side of the bag, for a total of six exterior pockets. The top zipper seems sturdy but is not YKK. The interior pockets feel like they are made of a lighter, less sturdy material. I have some minor concerns about their durability, but I dont expect to use them much, so its not a big negative for me. The upper section of the interior has three pockets. Two are elastic patches of material sewn onto each side of the bag which appears to be subdivided for drill bits. The other one is a small pocket that closes with a velcro flap. The lower section of the interior has 6-7 pockets, depending on how you use the bag. Four of these pockets are on either end of the bag. The remaining 2-3 pockets are on either side of the bag. One of these pockets closes with a buckle. The other pocket closes with velcro straps. The one that closes with velcro straps can be used as either one or two pockets because it has a velcro divider that runs down the center. All of these pockets should be pretty easy to see in the photos. Overall, Im very pleased with this bag. I had been searching for a small bag to hold my Makita circular saw that was just big enough to hold the saw and some accessories. This seems like a really good solution for that and a good value as well. Highly recommended.

Perfect for my Makita jigsaw and the interior pockets perfect for my extra blades.

Typical Makita quality. Use it to carry my 6.5” 18v Makita circ saw. Fits perfectly, and still enough room for a spare battery or two.

Bag is very nice and I like it better than the original square car that came with the drills. I can fit both drills and the charger or just the drills with 4 bit cases

Great quality and service

Pro’s: Nice bag, good construction and should last me for many years. Zipper is smooth and came with a shoulder strap. Fits my right angle drill and Mini Skilsaw that use the old 9000 series batteries, plus the charger. Con’s: Bag has way too many internal pockets to hold God knows What. Can understand one or two for a tape ruler and other item, but six is ridiculous. I carefully cut the pockets out with a sewing scissors, making sure to only cut the black fabric pockets and Not the Makita Blue case they are sewn to.

Holds Makita 6 1/2 circular saw perfectly with 5.0 Battery, edge guide and spare blades. Feels durable. Handles arent too long, easy to carry. Good buy.

I like this bag its strong and will last my lifetime.

Smaller than expected !!
