Frequently Asked Questions

What type of tool bag is right for me?

There are a few things to consider when determining the right tool bag for you. Think about the size and capacity you need for your tools, consider the security measures necessary for your specific use case, and evaluate the durability of the tool bag’s materials. Plastic is lightweight and weather-resistant, while metal is durable and strong. The fabric in tool bags is usually made of polyester or ballistic nylon – with a higher denier number indicating a tougher and more resistant material to wear and tear. If you are likely to be using your tools outside, choose a tool bag with a robust, waterproof base to protect your tools from the elements. Tool bags with a wide opening make it simpler to locate and reach your tools quickly and efficiently and, if you need to transport your tools, look for options with wheels and handles for easy mobility. Many tool bags allow you to customise your organisation with adjustable buckles and removable dividers.

Holdall tool bags come with vertical handles, allowing you to carry them at your side. They may also feature shoulder straps for added convenience. These bags are typically secured with either zippers or buckle fasteners. Some models even incorporate wheels and extendable handles for easy transportation. Rucksack tool bags are particularly well-suited for individuals who regularly commute with their tools. They typically have zip closures and multiple compartments to organise and store accessories.

Do I need a toolbox or a tool bag?

Toolboxes are the preferred choice when you require thorough tool organisation, durability, and protection. They come with multiple compartments, trays, and drawers that allow you to neatly categorise and secure your tools. Toolboxes are ideal if you have an extensive collection of tools or work in demanding conditions, as they offer better tool safeguarding. Some toolboxes come with lockable features, providing an extra layer of security for your tools so if your work environment is more stationary and your tools require enhanced protection against harsh conditions or potential theft, a lockable toolbox may be the way to go.

Tool bags are well-suited if you value portability and quick tool access. They are lightweight and come equipped with handles and straps, making them easy to carry. They are particularly favoured by on-the-go professionals and technicians who need their tools close at hand. Tool bags often have exterior pockets and wide openings, enabling quick efficient tool retrieval. They are a good choice if you have a smaller tool collection, or you are looking for mobility and convenience. If you frequently move between job sites or need to transport your tools over long distances, a tool bag's portability and lightweight design can be a significant advantage.
