I do the same thing with my Veto Pro Pac. I keep all my tools in it and keep it in the car or the gangbox usually. I use a tray and my pouches to take the tools I'll be using at the time.

Yeah with all the tools it's probably about that heavy, but I had the same tools in a klein bag before I got that toolbox so I'm used to it.

Here are some pics of the depth if this helps, threw impact driver and hammerdrill in for perspective.

I just opened it to see if the bottom of the bag above the bin hits the top of the parts carrier and there is about a .25" clearance, I was kind of thinking after post that it might get crushed but it looks good. As far as wear and tear, I'll let you know.

Default Thank you...

for sharing the photos of your bags and tools.

Unfortunately, my visit to this thread was prompted by the fact that my tool bags were stolen today. We used the photos of all your bags and tools to help jog my memory of what was in my bags for replacement purposes, as well as to see what kind of replacement bag to buy.

The biggest loss was my custom-made Red Oxx bag that held all my tools. It was a modified version of the Safari/Beano bag, with lots of pockets.

These photos of all your tools are the best evidence of recording what you own, especially if you also have your receipts stashed. If you haven't taken photos and posted here, do so for your own records!

again, thank you.

Hmm. Just as a side note, I'm not sure if the word "manbag' should be used in a congratulatory manner toward other men. 'Manpurse', 'Handbag', 'Carry-all', these words can be used when poking fun at other mens tool bags.

'Manbag'...this brings up some other images that are not pleasant.

Good luck getting all your tools back the way you had them. I had been ripped off three times in the same year. I would get comfortable with a set of tools just in time to have it stolen from the work truck. Ahh the benefits of working in NYC...

I really love that Donkeybag... canvas will last forever. Can't find anything like that here. What brand linesman pliers are those, they have a strange jaw shape to them? Welcome to the boards... always nice to see what tools other countries use.

I have to ask you Vale... how do you strip wire? I don't see any wire strippers. I love the Donkey bag by the way, might try one of those. I use a small tool box that hardly closes with the tools i have in it. I need something that is rain proof because i work at a copper mine and outside alot. That bag looks perfect. Do they ship to the states?
