Custom Leathercraft 1526 25 Pocket Electrical and Maintenance Tool Carrier

About Me: I work on a little bit of everything, home remodeling, electrical, plumbing, appliances, security systems, surveillance systems, so my favorite, gotta have tools run the gamut. My old bag was a smaller AWP of similar style. About this bag... First off, I just got it and loaded it up so my opinion will change as time goes on. What follows are just my initial impressions. Pros: Nice bag. Nice construction. Looks like it will last for years. You can cram a lot of stuff in this bag. The small parts box in the bottom is a nice touch and will come in handy. Looks impressive when fully loaded. Cons: I think they really missed the boat on how they laid out the tool storage. There are no loops for storing screw drivers and nut drivers so you either have to cram them all into one of the large inside pockets or split them up one or two to a pocket in the outside pockets. Some of the outside pockets are so deep, you cant use them for most tools so they are limited to longer tools like channel-locks or linesman pliers. Pockets for regular sized hand tools (pliers, needle-nose etc.) are also in short supply. I dont like putting more than one tool in a pocket. The zippered pocket/mesh pocket on the one end is too small. Should have been more pouch like in order to make it more crammable (is that a word?). Ill keep it, but Im sure Ill have to add a few after-market customizations to make it work for me. I uploaded some pics to give you a better idea. They sure left a little to be desired in that area. All-in-all, would I buy it again? Yes. EDIT: Wow. Cant believe its been 2.5 years since I bought this bag! Still holding up great. I ended out solving my screwdriver / nut driver storage problem by cutting a dozen 5 long pieces of 1.5 EMT and cramming those in the ends. Now every screwdriver and nut driver has a home and I know at a glance if Im missing something.

Im on my second CLC 1528 tool bag in 6 years. Both times I did my research and both times ended up with the 1528. I carry this bag in and out of homes on a daily basis, and although Ive got it chock full and weighing 50 lbs. I rarely need anything I cant fit in this bag. Im a low voltage installer and this bag is perfect. I can fit nearly every tool I need in this bag, including my drill and bits/drivers. The bottom tray is awesome for all the small fittings and parts I need. My only complaints are the metal rods in the carry handle pierce through the fabric (so I simply removed them), and would not be an issue if you primarily use the shoulder strap (which I do not). The vertical support rods eventually push through the bottom, which is not cool when youre setting your bag down on someones maple flooring in their 1.2 million dollar home. The mesh zippered bag side and the opposite tape measure side both need vertical rods in the outside corners to keep the sides from deforming, which they dont have (again, Ive fixed this issue myself). All the cons aside, Ill choose this bag again when my current one needs replacing. I know its downfalls and I can live with or fix them.

Is a very good tool bag, But it tends to deform over time. It is actually larger than it looks. But it will hold a lot of tools just as long as you dont put too many of them in there. I had mine a year-and-a-half before the handle and strap broke. Just make sure you dont overload it.

A robus quality product that will last forever. Smaller than other products making it more mobile and useful to carry around in your vehicle to sites. I use this product to pack gardening tools, wire and cutters etc. Great for having everything at hand to take cuttings from friends homes when visiting.

The product has many pockets and spaces for all my many different tools. The only negative is the center pocket is makes finding a tool tough.

This is my third toolbox from this brand and I used it a lot! Good quality and reasonable price!

love it

Im shocked at the price. Its a pretty good tool bag. HVAC tech 16 years. edit: Hvac 19 years now. this is really the only bag i like for hvac and have been using this set up for almost 20 years and really dont know any other way. At this point 65 dollars just is what it is the price is steep as is everything. they used to be 25 then 35 now 65. its worth every penny for me though because this bag is absolutely phenomenal and cant do my job right without it.

Muy buena pero mejor la anterior versión

Bought this quite a while ago for my husband (thor) and he loves it. Hes a contractor (go figure) and this tool bag has really held up over time. Its really handy to grab for smaller jobs and keeps his tools visible. I was really skeptical about how well it would hold up, but I helped him transfer a bunch of tools and stuff into a different truck this weekend and was really impressed with how sturdy it has remained and how useful it has been.
