Makita 831284-7 23 Contractor Tool Bag

This is a great bag. It holds a lot of tools and has shown virtually no wear after a year of use. However, I don’t work construction or take this bag to a work site, I just use it for personal tools that I take to work on projects for friend’s homes. But still, hauling it around, tools coming in and out, zipping and unzipping it, and it still looks great. It holds my skill saw, orbital sander, drill, battery charger, portable work light, and various other small cases for drill bits and screws and there’s still some room left.

Good size

Bought this to house my Makita 5377MG Hypoid saw (as described in the ad) and the hard bottom gave out the first time I picked it up. I had to cut a piece of 1/8 plywood to reinforce the bottom.

Nice bag. Support a lot of weight.

Holds my Makita power tools & batteries, together with bits & blades. Works well for my tool toting needs.

ok

[January 2023, the date matters!!!] [TL;DR - Bag redesigned late 2022, quality reduced significantly, no longer recommended] [Shortcut to tell the difference: If your bag has NO internal pockets, you have the old sturdy model. If your bag has internal pockets, you have newer cheaper model] First, let me say that I used to LOVE these bags. I own 10 of them! At roughly forty bucks, they were very well built and punched in a weight class 2x the price. The size and dimensions are at a perfect sweet spot that fits everything just right, while still going over your shoulder and fitting through doorways. You can fit A LOT in them, and theyre sturdy enough to take the weight. I use them for tools, tactical airsoft gear, camping supplies, Hunting gear, you name it! And the bags dont attract attention. Recently, these became hard to find and the price shot up to $80+. So I was thrilled to find them in stock again January 2023. Unfortunately, the bag has been completely redesigned on a new manufacturing line. Side-by-side comparison shows similar dimensions, but the all materials used are cheaper, theres a funny chemical smell, and it no longer holds its shape open like the older bags, which had a little bit of wall padding that made them ever so lightly like a formed suitcase rather than a loose bag. R.I.P., end of an awesome product. Conclusion: Even cheapened , I cant give the bag less than 3 stars. Its not a recommended buy anymore, Im not returning the one I bought, but there may be better options at $40 now. Its still leaps and bounds ahead of Makitas other 23 wheeled contractor bag youll find if you search. STAY AWAY FROM THAT BAG FOLKS! utter hot garbage that gets 0 stars and STILL smells like nasty chemicals 4 months after I got it!

This is a nice bag. Such that I will be ordering another for use for other things.

Very nice!

Great bag! It was bigger then I expected but work fine
