> 3 dayI shifted to this tool bag after using a plastic tote that was poorly organized. Construction is excellent. Pockets are well-designed. Note that the bottom of the tote is taken up by a compartmentalized plastic organizer for small items like screws. Because this takes up the bottom couple inches of the bag, the depth of the main compartment is less than I expected. One design flaw -- the handle is not detachable. Therefore it is in the way when you try to insert large items into the main compartment. I find this annoying. It would have been easy to have the sides of the handle connect with clips so it could be detached while loading the bag. This annoyance cost the bag a star. Overall, I am very happy with the sturdiness, convenience, and ease of organizing tools.

> 3 dayUnfortunately the recipient of the bag did not need it. I’m sure it is a good buy. Box never opened to review. The bag was returned to Amazon return location. Looking into information regarding the confirmation of my refund.

> 3 dayI bought this to hold my standard household tools. Before this I had a standard toolbox with a lid and a widemouth zip-up tool bag. The lidded toolbox worked fine, but you always had to unlatch it to get to your tools, then relatch it later, and sometimes I just wanted to be able to go grab what I needed quickly, so I would leave it unlatched, and tools would start accumulating around it on the shelf. So I got myself a widemouth canvas tool bag. It was large and had a plethora of pockets for all of my goodies, but I found that it would sag and fold down over the pockets sometimes making it difficult to get to things. Plus its overall floppiness annoyed me. Enter the LeatherCraft 1528. Pockets to hold everything I need, stiffness and open design to aid in the location and procurement of my required tools, easy grab handle and supercool looks. I currently have the following in mine. Ratcheted multibit screwdriver Cordless driver Corded Drill drill bit, screwdriving tip and socket sets - all in small square cases. 12 extension cord (for my drill) Alien multitool for mtn bike Channel lock pliers 3 small pliers crescent wrench Staple gun with staples standard claw hammer Household nail set on outside - Nails, screws, drywall anchors, etc in container on bottom. Other Small items: Safety glasses, glue, wd40, small ratcheted wrench screwdriver, gloves, magnetic studfinder, file, pencil, boxcutter, tape measure. There is room for 5 or 6 more small tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches. Bottom Line: If you are an average home owner and weekend handyman, this is the tool carrier for you.

> 3 dayThis is a great general purpose tool bag. I keep this in my coat closet along with just about every tool I need for doing things around the house. The plastic compartment box thing in the bottom works out great for small hex bits or other random things like that where you would normally have to carry around lots of cases with those accessories in them. If that last sentence didnt make sense, I apologize. Some terminology is escaping me right now while Im writing this. Anyway, just know that youll be able to really organize your tools well with this bag.

> 3 dayThe inside loops for screwdrivers isnt big enough to hold the klien screw drivers so they flop out alot. For 20 bucks its not bad but anything more I think Id go with a Milwaukee packout tool carrier. I do want to not the the tackle box for some hardware is probly my favorite thing about this tool bag.

> 3 dayhad this bag for over 2 years, with heavy use. i am a hvac tech. stap end broke after about one year but i always had alot of tools in it., then holes started in pockets, but thats because i over filled with screws and other stuff. the box that stores in box is great for spade clips, and fuses, wire nuts. excellent bag. i just bout another, can not beat it for the price.. trust me you will be satisfied. and its small enough to carry up in attics, dosen`t get caught on the hinges. for me it norm weighs about 50lb full of my tools.

> 3 daySo I had the smaller version for YEARS. It was all beat up and time for an upgrade. I went with the next size up (this one) because I had outgrown the smaller one. The pockets are taller than any of my linesman pliers, crimp tools, or screw drivers and they fall into the abyss if they dont have a designated sleeve or pocket. It needs to be AT LEAST 2 inches shorter. Also the big plastic container on the side is too bulky and I removed it and I store my multimeter there now.

Greater than one weekI am an IT Field Technician, and I use this bag for all of my many cabling tools and testers. It fits everything perfectly, and it still asks for more. The included organizer is also a MAJOR plus. I have only used it for a few months, but it has been punished daily, and it is ready for more!!!

> 3 dayI am a HVAC Service Tech. I have used this type bag for over ten years. It holds all the tools I need to perform a typical call. The storage box holds all the little items handy like fuses, wire nuts, misc. screws , caps, wire terminal ends, etc. The 1528 bag is more stable than the 1526 bag and does not tip over easily. A bag lasts about 5 years of daily use before the bottom starts falling out. The many pockets helps keep your tools organized and allows for a quick visual inventory to check if you are leaving any tools behind.
