They\u2019re made of a thick canvas with a heavy brass zipper, pockets on both sides, and small pockets lining the inside.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to carrying around a big, steel toolbox, these are lighter, cheaper, and they don\u2019t scrape or dent things when you put them down. They also pack down nice and flat when you don\u2019t need them.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not perfect. I wish the inside pockets could hold tools better. But at $16, there\u2019s no reason not to cut out stitches and rework the pockets for what you need. I\u2019m taking this one to Maker Faire this weekend with my angle grinder and some wrenches, and it\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Even for non tool use, as a guy, it\u2019s a good option for when you need a purse-sized bag that in no way could be mistaken for a purse. It\u2019s tough, it\u2019s cheap, and versatile. A link to buy this bag is in the video description.
