While the Veto Pro PAC Model XL is indeed the costliest entry in our top, it is the best tool bag to go for as well. What makes us so confident of its quality is the fact that it is made with 1800 PVC impregnated denier for durability, while the 3-millimeter polypropylene base makes it waterproof so that you can place it on a wet surface without water getting inside and potentially ruining your tools.
To maximize storage space and make for the perfect companion for any handy person, it actually comes with a total of 67 pockets – 6 zippered pockets and 61 vertical pockets. Due to this generous design in terms of storage, it can be used to carry more than 100 tools at a time.
The heavy-duty zippers and fastenings it features make it worthwhile as well as these ensure long-lasting durability even if you use it to its full potential each day and carry it from home to work or wherever else you have business with it. Speaking of carrying it, considering the fact that it comes with an over-molded grip that provides you with a good hold on it, you won’t have trouble with the bag at all, no matter how heavy it becomes.
Moreover, you can carry it more easily by using the extra-wide padded shoulder strap that feels quite comfortable due to its manufacturing. Needless to say, another advantage is provided by the 5-year warranty that accompanies it as few products in its niche are covered against defects for such a long amount of time.

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. Thus, it’s the perfect bag for a carpenter.
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.

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.
As a handy person, you need to keep your tools properly organized, especially small ones like wrenches, tapes, and so on, that normally tend to get lost. To keep your tools organized not only to prevent misplacing or losing them, but to be able to more easily carry them from one location to another when needed, and even to free up some space in the section of the garage where you usually store them, a specially designed bag that features multiple compartments and is made with a durable material is needed.
With 50 interior pockets that let you neatly organize your tools so that you keep them according to type, how much you use them, and so on, thus helping you reduce time when you work as you know exactly where and what to look for, the Custom Leathercraft 1539 is the most detailed option to go for.
More qualitative, however, and almost as impressively organized is the Carhartt Legacy that boasts a total of 28 pockets, 17 on the exterior and 11 on the interior. Furthermore, it is sure to stand by your side for years to come due to the fact that it features an internal aluminum frame which adds to its durability.
Another worthy acquisition and one that sparked the interest of a lot of customers, the WorkPro 16-Inch Wide Mouth features a total of 21 compartments to place your tools in. Additionally, it comes with padded carry handles that provide a comfortable manner to carry it around the workplace.
