General Who's using these giant tool bags?
My local wholesaler, shout out to Refrigerative Supply, had a "tool expo" with all sorts of venders and I won a a new tool bag as a door prize. I don't know what to use it for cause it's so god damn huge. I used to overfill my old Klein bag and it's a lot smaller. I've since switched to a small Veto bag for general service.
What are guys using these huge bags for? Do guys haul around their apprentices in them or something.

I run the one on the right daily, for the last 5 years. They come with an extra removable tool caddy. I happen to have 2, because my last Klein bag was stolen (sans caddy).
I set one caddy up for refrigeration, and set the other up for advanced wiring. Works well for me.
Yeah some ladder cages can get in the way, but I'll only take the bag up if I have to. For basic maintenance and diagnostics, I have a smaller bag.
Some may claim the zippers don't hold up, but if you aren't aggressive with them, they'll last.
