Nice size for those of us who have to move around to work in the field. Seems well built and has a very adjustable shoulder strap. Has lots of pockets and loops although the inner pockets are so tight they are almost unusable, maybe they will loosen with use. It tends to fall over to one side but I have moved my drill over in the other pockets to act as a counter weight and does much better now.

I'm a plant electrician, going on two years, and i love this thing.

As others say, it does lean to one side after a while, but i simply cut a peice of sheet metal to the width, bent it and placed the corner in the bottom, then drilled a 2 holes and it holds up just fine!

For an electrician, there is no more convienent tote. You have great acess to all of you tools, all sorts of variety of pockets and a very well fitting.

It carries my ratcheting wrenches, chanel locks, adjustable wrenches, Multimeter, Small craftsman drill, needle nose, pliers, wire strippers, small and large dikes, precision screwdrivers, wire nuts, cable cutters, allen wrench set, electrical tape, plant keys, tape measure, small level, flashlight, and all the crimp on fittings, nuts and bolts, locknuts etc in the included small organizer. All within instant reach (no digging under stuff to get a tool that is burried)

Sparky8682 says "flimsy and wears out" about Craftsman Professional 11-Pocket 8 in. Electricians Tool Tote

I am a construction electrician. I had a BucketBoss before i got this bag. I really liked it at first. It held a lot of tools, had a plastic organizer for wirenuts, stake-ons, etc. and was well laid-out. But within a week it began to buckle on the bottom seam on one side. Soon it was completely caved-in. Worse yet, the pockets on the outside where I kept box-end wrenches tore out, and I lost a couple somewhere in the plant. Then two loops inside the bag that held my linesmans and channellocks tore out and they are now lying loose inside the bag. Another pocket is nearing its end, and the bottom of the bag is showing imminent failure as well.

Overall, this is a good bag, but not for a construction environment. I thought I was getting a good bag, since it said "Professional" right on it. Apparently I was wrong. If you just need something to hold tools for odd jobs around the house, this will work. But this is just not made to handle a construction site.

Wiremonkey says "Good bag for the money can become great with a little addition." about Craftsman Professional 11-Pocket 8 in. Electricians Tool Tote

I use my older electrical tools for residential work (if the insulation monster eats a tool no big deal) and wanted an inexpensive but decent bag for them. This bag fits the bill perfectly. It has a great layout with 10 internal screwdriver/nutdriver loops and plenty of outside pockets for pliers, etc. There are two larger pockets on the internal divider that are good for meters and such. The side of the bag that has the tape loop and key snap has 6 pockets and although the top 2 corner ones are narrow each one will hold any of your larger pliers by sticking the handle into the pocket. The rest of the pockets are fine your diagonal pliers, wire strippers, etc.

As mentioned by others this bag leans over to one side a lot when you put your tools in it. To fix this just take a small plastic box like the one that comes with the tool bag and remove the lid, dividers, file/grind (if you have to) the little plastic hinges off and shove the box down into the bottom...

LoVoltageGuy says "Great tote!" about Craftsman Professional 11-Pocket 8 in. Electricians Tool Tote

As a low-voltage technician, I carry ALOT of pliers, screwdrivers, misc parts and the like. This tool tote fits the bill perfectly and then some. Plenty of right-sized pockets and loops are just right for electricians tools, and the tape and key loops come in VERY handy. The small-parts carry bin is GREAT for those little connectors and wire-ties. Highest marks for a great way to carry and organize daily-use tools....
