CLC Custom LeatherCraft 1529 16 In. Center Tray Tool Bag, 16 Pocket

I am an avid arts & crafts person - crochet, knitting, beading, etc., and I was trying to find a way to organize all my little notions & odds and ends. For years, I've been using small cases: pencil cases, boxes, ziptop bags, to hold my stuff. I could never find my stuff, and had to re-buy items, only to find it at the bottom of my craft stash after my project was done! If you can find a decent organizer at a crafts store, they're using really small and expensive. No one wants to spent upwards to $150 for a poorly constructed arts caddy, even if it's got pretty decorations on it! I stumbled onto this case through another search, and thought I would try it. Worst case scenario, we can put our extra tools in it! I was so pleased with the construction of this tool case - strong canvas, solid straps, plenty of pockets and loops that can hold scissors without the fear of poking through and damaging the case. There's quite a bit of room in here without being overly cumbersome, The organizer in the middle is of much higher quality than the crummy ones you get at the crafts store, and are great for little pieces you've collected but don't know how to store. It's also a great way to transport your stuff if you belong to crafting meetup groups. I brought this case with me recently and so many of my fellow crafters love the idea and are planning on getting cases for themselves! Bottom line: great organizer for your craft items, and although it's just plain black, I'm sure that resourceful crafters can personalize it with fabric paints, embellishments, appliques, etc. Personally, I like it how it is, and want to let my fellow crafters know that this is an alternative to the overpriced junk you might find at your local craft store!

I'm very rough with my work bag and it's holding up well. I usually remove the center tray and use the center pocket for large tools.

This bag works great to hold small hand tools used during cabinet installation ( chisels ,screwdrivers, mallets and small hammers, block plane, end cutters, etc]. It is not perfect,but it works well enough so far. That being said it is not easy to find an ideal bag for this kind of work, and this one does the job pretty well. Here is what I have found about it. It is small enough to fit in cabinets and keep out of the way, and hold the necessary tools. Because of its size I have cut my tool set down to what I use and eliminated clutter, though if this same bag was offered in a 1-3 inch longer length I would have opted for that because hammers and mallets would fit the tote better. The bag is open, allowing me to easily locate and access tools, not having to root around in a dark hole full of little pockets. This also helps to be able to easily take a quick inventory of my tools and prevent me from leaving any behind. I also really like the small parts bin that fits in the center, although its construction could be better. I suspect the plastic tabs will break of in time and it will need to be replaced long before the bag itself, but I knew that going in. It has removable partitions in one direction, and allows me to keep drill and driver bits closed organized, a real plus. The pocket that houses the bin has enough excess room to store a few long narrow tools like pry bars. A loop to secure tools on the ends of the pocket interior would be a nice addition. For that matter a narrow long deep pocket for tall skinny tools such as screw drivers and pry bars would nice. The tools are secured in the totem via loops on one side and pockets on the other. This is fairly standard. My only criticisms are that the pockets could be a little deeper to better support taller tools. Maybe have various widths for wide and narrow tools. Same for the loops. Also the loop band could be wider, or mounted lower to help prevent tools from slipping through . For the most part I quite satisfied with this bag. It was inexpensive (and offered at a lower price the day after I purchased it) and expected I would be replacing it at some point. The quality and construction are good, as has been with all CLC bags I've owned, and it works fairly well. Again for the type of work I do it is hard to find a perfect bag, but this is serving me well. Everyone's tool set varies, and this one works pretty well for mine. I did not proof read, don't judge.

Really nice organization for my household tools. I have this thing loaded really heavy and it's way more organized that just having a big open bag. The one small complaint I have is that the latches on the included plastic case have both snapped off already, the first broke the first time I opened it! Still I'm able to use it but I may look for a Plano case to replace that part then it would be a 5/5.

This is a very sturdy reinforced canvas tool bag, I will be using it for my copious amounts of jewelry and metalsmithing tools that I have to haul around. I will update this review if I encounter any issues over the course of my ownership of this bag. The center plastic compartment is not super high-quality the lid doesn't quite shut all the way, but it does have four rows that are divided into 6 compartments each with removable dividers. Each individual subdivided compartment is 2 inches cubed. The plastic case is held in place with a velcro strap. One concern I had before I bought this bag was that it appeared most of the Pockets were open top I am pleased to say there is one large velcro pouch on the front exterior, it looks about the right size for large tape measure and on the back of the bag there is a large zipper pouch which is about the size of a child's pencil case. These two pouches in combination with the plastic case should provide suitable storage for items I'd be concerned about dropping out of the bag. There are several individual spots on the exterior rear of the bag that look like they would hold pens or Sharpies well. There is also a metal bracket on the front of bag that says Tape Holder. I could go on and describe more pockets, however I don't want this review to get too long. If there are any specific questions, just comment on this review and I will get back to you. I've also included some photos of the inside pockets that I would have found helpful when trying to decide on which tool bag to purchase. Standard tube of caulk/silicone included in first photo for size reference. If you found this review helpful, please up vote it and leave a review on a product you've purchased.

very usefull

Excellent quality just what I was looking for I have the big one but needed something a tad bit smaller and this fits the bill perfectly

Solid and well designed except as noted here. Plenty of pockets but as I transferred tools from old tool bag I found many of the pocket/sleeves here were not really useful. After all tools were in places for best use, I found the walls too easily collapse inward over the two main compartments. If the walls were made a little more rigid it would be a big benefit, but of course a cost increase as well. I find many tools in outside pockets are easily brushed out while carrying bag into work places. NOT a good thing if you lose them in tall grasses or snow! The plastic/nylon (?) parts tray in the middle is well designed and functions okay, but is clumsy to get to at best. I do like the amount of things it holds and the amount of space in the bag overall. If the bag contained metal liner panels inside each end and a metal, arched tubular handle were added this one would have gotten 4 and possibly 5 stars. For it's price it is not a bad buy, just do not expect to find an easy to use set up and one that may drop some of your tools from its outside pockets.

Propre, trop chère pour duré de vie 1 an ~ pour mon cas

Great value toolbag for a tradesman.

Pretty happy with this bag. Wanted something to carry my most used tools with me, as I travel around with my tools a lot. Center pocket is a good size for a socket kit with ratchet, two large side compartments for screw drivers/pliers ect. A little larger would be nice, but then it would just get heavier. Would buy again, lets see how long it lasts! If you move around with your tools, and want a catch all bag, go for this one!

Muy practico y funcional. Sus divisiones son excelentes logrando una facilidad en encontrar las cosas. Muy buena calidad. Es muy resistente

This tool bag is compact and spacious. Has plenty of pockets and belts to make finding the right tool very easy. Very handy for a handyman like me.
