> 24 hourNeeds a tape measure clip. The center dividers dont reach the bottom so stuff gets stuck under them very annoying.

> 24 hourMan you won’t be disappointed if you buy one of these. Came early, even with Xmas rush, double boxed, who does that, anymore. Oh, did I mention the smell, cool as could be. If you are waiting, cause of the price, FORGET about it. This is like putting your tools in a Lamborghini. Made in the USA , that all you need to say. (Paul Joyce)

> 24 hourAmazing tool bag. A bit expensive but looking at the quality of the leather and the craftmanship it took to assemble it, i believe it should last my lifetime.

> 24 hourI’ve had plenty of bags, CLC, Dewalt, Husky you name it and they all wear out and tear. If you want a service bag that lasts buy this one.

> 24 hourGreat quality and craftsmanship! If you are a serious tradesmen and skilled in your work, this is the tool bag for you. Well worth the money. You will need to order the shoulder strap and tape thong separately. This bag will last for years. “A man skilled in his work will stand before Kings”

> 24 hourStunningly beautiful quality. They dont make it like they used to describes almost everything you can buy these days, and its true. Occidental Leather makes things like they used to. Absolutely worth every penny. This tote is a work of functional art. No doubt in my mind that this will last me my entire career.

> 24 hourI have used this bag everyday for the past three years as a master electrician. Through heavy abuse it has only gotten better with age. This is the only tool bag that I would ever use. My only worry is that they will be discontinued in 20 years when I will need another one.

> 24 hourI recently started doing communications work, needed a tool-bag and found this. I always prefer to buy Quality USA made products, and so far I think this meets that criteria. The bag seems well thought out as far as pocket/pouch sizes and placement. It has a leather strap that can be unhooked for carrying your electric tape, quite a few screwdriver loops and some pockets for them as well. There is still room in my bag for adding a set of nut-drivers and some square-drives. The previous review mentions a white plastic bottom inside, mine is black which is fine with me - will still keep an unsheathed knife from poking a hole through. This shouldnt be a problem though because it comes with two hard plastic sheaths that each hold a knife ( or whatever else you would want to put in it ) and a pencil. The actual exterior bottom looks like a hard rubber, it has some grooves cut in it to keep it from sliding I guess. I did buy the shoulder strap ( not included ) but decided not to use it, currently I carry my lunchbox on a shoulder strap so it wouldnt make sense to carry both in to work on straps. One thing I wish Is that there was room for a full size hacksaw frame, but it is divided enough that there is no room for one. I want to carry something for cutting conduit sleeves, I will probably find a saw that takes up less space than a standard hacksaw. This bag does look very nice, havent owned it long and already had several compliments. Of course it wont look plush forever, worn leather boots still look good to me and I imagine this bag will do just fine scarred up from use. I did upload a couple photos of my bag, maybe down the road I will take some more to show how it wears.
