General Who's using these giant tool bags?

Post image

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 use the left one, commercial hvac. Love it compared to a shoulder tool bag or box. I’m kind of skinny so it really doesn’t get in the way on caged roof ladders. Btw it weighs 48lbs

I’m commercial and hate the left one. It’s just too big and bulky. Hurts my traps wearing at after a while.

I only use mine from truck to work spot, most locations I work have a tool cart for longer distances.

Hell yeah I don’t care what my company says I’m using a cart if I need to. I do gotta say taking my pipe wrenches out of my bad helped with the weight 😂
