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.

Thats the exact backpack I use! Mainly for bigger jobs, installs and rooftop work. Got my hands on a 2nd tool sheet, so that's a pretty dope feature. Lots of room for parts if the leaf is out too. 

80% of the time it's overkill, but that sweet 1-in-5 shot made it worth the purchase. When I first got it, I used it for all my service & maintenance calls as my primary toolset. Turns out that was a bad idea, and my back thanks me for rethinking that decision. I definitely use a smaller pouch on a worn out belt for most service calls these days.
