When I ordered this tool box, it shipped to me without the removable partition or shoulder strap. I contacted the company and within 24 hours the missing parts were on their way to me (granted it will take a few extra days for them to arrive). I am slightly irritated I had to do anything since I wanted to use the tool box right away, but I definitely appreciate CLC quickly fixing the error and it was much better and quicker than having to ship it back to Amazon and wait for a new one. Now for the tool box itself. I am an advanced DIY guy, and do a little light machining as part of my job, so I was looking for a tool box that could easily carry a 115-drill bit set, a few Plano 3500 series compartment boxes (which, by the way, fit great in the two larger end pockets), callipers, dial indicators, and a random assortment of other tools and stock. This tool bag is light, which means it remains manageable even when loaded down with stuff, unlike the all steel boxes I was also looking at. The pockets are for the most part useable for typical tools, although I wish the two smaller end pockets were the same as the larger end (small pockets are on the tape measure clip end). The material seems to be well stitched together, the handle is comfortable (although I'll have to see how the foam holds up in the long run...), the frame feels sturdy without any noticeable flex, and overall it seems well made. Some things in particular: - The pen pockets are mounted high up; pro: you can always get to your pen/scribe, con: a sharpie sticks up above the end wall. - As pointed out in other reviews, the bottom is cloth, so if you carry heavy, odd shaped things, fitting a piece of 1/4 ply to the bottom is helpful if you use the movable divider. - It does not have velcro straps on the two ends (like the similar Home Depot box) for strapping a long level or blueprints or welding rods to - I may try to retrofit this myself. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I personally would not hesitate buying another CLC product or recommending this tool box to a friend based on my experience so far. Read more

This is a really nice sturdy bag, seems like a very high quality. The Canvas is thick and I like that the bottom is made of a hard material that would be waterproof. The bottom is what failed on my Husbands last bag. There are several useful pockets. I also like that it has a big open space in the middle where he can put his power tools. The handle makes it very easy to carry around. I bought for my Husbands Birthday and I think he will be very happy with it. Read more

This tool bag is almost perfect for HVAC purposes which is why I bought it. Exterior pockets along this carrier's front are great for your main tools like wire strippers, wire crimpers and tubing cutters while its side pockets are ideal for your nut drivers and wrenches. Back pockets and remaining side pockets also work well for your PVC cutters and ammeter though you may want to store your ammeter inside to use its pockets for other purposes, however, there lies this bag's major flaw: size. Its twenty inches is a bit ridiculous and extremely bothersome in most places unless you have a bug area to put it. Locared inside you will find many pockets for pliers and other desired tools. An aluminum handle with a soft grip is screwed into this bag to ensure a comfortable grip which is balanced in weight on all sides. Besides its size, which is light regarding so, Custom LeatherCraft has designed an incredible bag. I would highly recommend getting CLC's "21 Pocket 14 inch Open Top Soft Sided Tool Box" since it is basically a smaller version of this one. Read more

Great tool tote. Well built with plenty of pockets. I do alot of odd jobs mainly electrical and this fits the bill. Read more

Just the family and block handy guy. This is a great bag Lots of pockets to work with and an adjustable panel in the bottom . Got sealants and goo tubes in the short side , hammers ,pipe wrenches, clamps 14" saw and such in the long side, usually 40 to 50 pounds, dont carry it much but does carry well. it takes up about half the floorboard space behind the drivers seat of my ext.cab and organizes the tools very well there for loading a tool belt. Every thing seems to stay where I put it. Its a pretty tough bag and has held up well for a year now with no complaints. Dog didnt complain about her space back there so we're good ! Read more

I have 2 CLC tool bags so far but ran out of space in those and decided to purchase this one to hold my power tools (drills, sander, router, etc.). As usual, the "boxy bag" is well built and seems like it will stand the test of time just like my other 2. The pockets on the outside or useful but abit tight which makes it harder to store somewhat larger hand tools (not a nuisance enough, however, to make me take away a star for this review). The center compartment is big enough to hold the power tools I need it to without it making the bag feel too big and clumsy. Its nice that it comes with a shoulder strap, though I cant see myself using it at any point. The handle feels very strong and sturdy so you dont need to worry about it breaking away from the mostly fabric box bag. All in all, its a bit expensive but definitely worth the price. I will continue to buy Custom LeatherCraft bags and boxes to store my tools in in the future. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps, Jacob Read more
