1528 Large Electrical and Maintenance Tool Carrier, 22 Pocket

It is a good tool holder with thick padding with decent size to hold lots of hand tools in a neat and easily accessible set up. Very durable as I do not observe replacing these too often due to wear and tear out in the field. It is worth the value for its lasting use.

I took a long time looking around for the right tool carrier for my new wood turning hobby and this electrician's 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 you're 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. You'll 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 hasn't 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.

My first clc tool bag Well good quality, strong material Plenty of pocket , works good for electrician tools Very happy

About Me: I work on a little bit of everything, home remodeling, electrical, plumbing, appliances, security systems, surveillance systems, so my favorite, gotta have tools run the gamut. My old bag was a smaller AWP of similar style. About this bag... First off, I just got it and loaded it up so my opinion will change as time goes on. What follows are just my initial impressions. Pros: Nice bag. Nice construction. Looks like it will last for years. You can cram a lot of stuff in this bag. The small parts box in the bottom is a nice touch and will come in handy. Looks impressive when fully loaded. Cons: I think they really missed the boat on how they laid out the tool storage. There are no loops for storing screw drivers and nut drivers so you either have to cram them all into one of the large inside pockets or split them up one or two to a pocket in the outside pockets. Some of the outside pockets are so deep, you can't use them for most tools so they are limited to longer tools like channel-locks or linesman pliers. Pockets for regular sized hand tools (pliers, needle-nose etc.) are also in short supply. I don't like putting more than one tool in a pocket. The zippered pocket/mesh pocket on the one end is too small. Should have been more pouch like in order to make it more crammable (is that a word?). I'll keep it, but I'm sure I'll have to add a few "after-market" customizations to make it work for me. I uploaded some pics to give you a better idea. They sure left a little to be desired in that area. All-in-all, would I buy it again? Yes. EDIT: Wow. Can't believe its been 2.5 years since I bought this bag! Still holding up great. I ended out solving my screwdriver / nut driver storage problem by cutting a dozen 5" long pieces of 1.5" EMT and cramming those in the ends. Now every screwdriver and nut driver has a home and I know at a glance if I'm missing something.

Never made it got lost in the mail. but i will say that my co-worker has the same bag and loves it has held up nice for years now. and the size is great.

Some very nice upgrades in this model over the past ones. I've been using these for about 25 years as my primary tool kit. Taking the plastic box out and putting it on the side was a big step up. Especially because you don't have to lift it every time so that you can pull the plastic out, and, it changed the design so that as the kit aged, you didn't have tools falling through the stitching of the pockets into the bottom . They improved the way your tools fit into elastic on the ends, adding more slots and a little bit more space and I'm quite happy about it. It doesn't have a small a footprint as the older one like this, but I'm okay with that.

Excelente calidad de los materiales, un poco reducida en los compartimientos centrales. Muy recomendable!!!... se puede guardar hasta el taladro.

Well made, practical & functional

Love it. Love all the pockets, perfect size. Fits all my electrical tools and meter with room too spare.
