Occidental Leather 8581 FatLip Fastener Bag

still getting used to it......

Deep pockets

Great quality!

works great for me

Awesome

Its a nice bag but for being touted fat lip I find the pocket for the tape measure and the two front pockets are a bit small. I have a 25 foot tape measure and it just fits and once in it is difficult to get it back out. If I was using a 30-40 foot tape it would not fit in the pocket. I live in the Catskill mountain region of New York and when wearing gloves in winter it is difficult getting things out of the smaller pockets. I have another brand pouch that did not cost me nearly as much that works better!

i have been in construction for 20 years . tried different bags and the best ones are by far these occidentals. they are a well fabricated bag have big open bags that allow your hand to reach in with no problem.

Best investment ever made

This pouch is awesome, plenty of room in the two front pouches (2 chalk boxes & gun oil), the tape measure is a 35’ tape and it fits perfectly, the large pouch under the tape will hold about 75 racks of gun nails (two poweraid bottles would easily fit inside). Highly recommend!

My old multi-pouch nail bag, which had been with me since the mid-80s, finally wore out. Couldnt find another one exactly like it and even toyed with having a replica one custom made, but finally made the switch to this bag. Glad I did, as its wonderful. Three nail compartments, the main one being so big you could pile 20 pounds of fasteners in it if you wanted to. Has a built-in slot for a speed square and several other small tool holders. Im keeping extra markers, nail sets and driver bits in those, and still have room for more stuff. Tape measure sits right in the top pocket, exactly where its supposed to be. The main compartment is so deep Ive found I have to bump the bag up on my thigh a little to reach the bottom of it, but thats turned out to be a minor inconvenience. On the plus side, its big enough to stage small materials or extra tools in if youre climbing ladders or scaffolding. You can take a lot of stuff with you at once. Highly recommended.
