The bag needs to be solid and resistant to carrying weights because utensils are usually made of steel that is very heavy. Therefore, it must be made of a solid material designed to last to intense use. Carhartt knows this so they make their models to last, using a strong synthetic material reinforced with a triple needle-stitch that guarantees a rugged design. It’s available in black and brown for your choice of taste. Although the sides are soft, not strengthened with plastic or cardboard, the container boasts an internal metal frame that enables it to stand upright and keeps it from collapsing while also making it easier for you to find the needed utensil. Another great thing about it is that it’s very smartly divided into 17 exterior pockets and 10 interior pockets, each designed to separate and organize the content of the container. To prove you the durability of their product, the manufacturer offers a limited lifetime warranty so you can rest assured about potential damage.

When picking a bag for carrying utensils, a rugged design and comfort in use are among the main characteristics to look for. This one from CLC Work Gear meets these two requirements and more. Made of a solid mesh material, it can carry multiple items no matter how heavy they are. Both the interior and the exterior include smart compartments that accommodate many utensils of various shapes and sizes. There are 8 small pockets on the outside and 8 on the inside, along with three main compartments in the interior. One of them includes a plastic tray for storing nails, bolts, nuts, and other small items. It even has a metal tool snap and a tape snap so you will always know where to find it. The sides are hard so it stands upright but it can also be moulded to fit a cabinet or drawer. One design hack is the lack of a cover or a zipper over the main compartments and while some men see this as a way to have easier access to the content, others are afraid that they might misplace or lose some of the utensils they carry.

A solid bag is in demand and there are few that can beat the durability of the DGL573 from DeWalt.

To reinforce the design, the manufacturer has used a plastic bottom with four heavy-duty feet that not only strengthen the container but also protect the inside utensils. It even has two zippered pockets to protect the content of the bag. One interesting detail is the LED light that can help you easily find your container at work and can also be used to look for items inside the pockets in conditions of scarce light.

Any handyman needs a container to store all the utensils he uses for its repairs but only a real professional could use a combo of two bags like this one from WORKPRO. The sides are not hard but it still doesn’t collapse because the material is very thick and the bag is not very tall. The interior is very generous, measuring 13 x 21.5 x 2.5 in for the bigger bag so it can fit a complete set of utensils.
Comfort
For increased comfort in transportation, the containers have padded mesh handles that won’t hurt your hands even when the bag is filled to the fullest. No shoulder strap is attached so you will have to carry it by hand. For the smaller ones, each bag has exterior pockets made either of mesh or of the same material as the container. Each pocket is very resistant and guaranteed to remain intact even if you are not very gentle when grabbing your tools.

How To Choose The Right Bag
Having this product is great because it can help you in many ways. The first being that it allows you to take your work tools anywhere you want safely. Without worrying that you may lose them. In addition to this, whatever model you choose, you will find them suitable for your style because they come in many shapes and sizes. Thus, pay attention to the guideline below and you will find all the information you desire.
- Pockets – Whatever job you have in the construction industry, you will find that you need a lot of utensils in order to complete the job properly. Thus, the model you choose has to have a lot of pockets because you want to fit all your utensils inside, leaving none behind. You must also take into consideration whether they have zippers or fasteners. However, please make sure that you check how rigid they are. Especially zippers because you do not want them to unexpectedly break whilst you’re walking. If you order the product online, the majority of brands allow you a time period such as 30-days to test out the product and if you do not like it, you can receive your money back.
- Padding – There’s no hiding the fact that some work utensils are expensive and you have to take special care of them. Thus we strongly recommend that you purchase a bag that has padding inside of them as well as on the strap. This is because these containers can get very heavy and may cause you fatigue. If you have a padded strap, some of that excess weight can be absorbed and you can wear it for longer. As well as, if you spend considerable money on a model, you want the most you can get. Therefore, before you purchase, we suggest that you look out for this small feature that makes a considerable change.
- Features – There are many features that these bags can have. For example, you can have one that has wheels at the bottom so you can transport it easier, a built-in light, and D rings. All of these will make your life easier. You do not have to pay extra for these because the companies that sell these, respect their customers and their needs.
