CLC Custom Leathercraft 526 Electrician's and Maintenance Tool Pouch, Heavy Duty, 17 Pocket , Tan

The price was right for the quality. Should last me forever.

I'm an inside wireman, I carry a good amount of tools. This fits all my hand tools comfortably on the outside (linemans, dykes, channel locks, strippers, screwdrivers, reamer, square, allens, level, meter, tin snips, crimpers, needlenosers, loppers, termination screwdrivers, tick tracer, and a few more bits and bobs) while the inside pouch holds my impact driver and hackzall, along with my hammer, all my tips, drill bits, and socket set. The leather after a week, formed enough to all my tools that I can watch the thing doing cart wheels in my truck bed and I haven't lost anything, but slide out when you want them easily. The stitching and rivets are very sturdy, I've yet to have one pop, and the leather band looped around the walls of the tote are great for holding extensions and my shears. Personally the leather is a little too light in color for my tastes, thankfully wood stain and leather stain are made of the same stuff and a dark walnut stain really makes this bag stand out. The two D rings on the handle take a shoulder strap really well, and I carry it all over jobsites day in and out, when I have a cart the small profile doesn't take up much space and leaves plenty of room for other material. 11/10 bag I would purchase over veto any day of the week.

Best tool tote I've owned. This bag is lighter and half the price of most veto bags, you can't beat the value here. Leather lasts well so far but I've only had it for a month. Previous cordura bags I've owned had already shown signs of wear in the screw driver slots at the one month point. The screw driver/nut driver slots are properly sized to fit the shaft of the driver letting the handle rest on top. I use wiera drivers so the large grip on the #3 Robbie makes it a tight fit, all other sizes fit perfect and slide in to the slots securely and without difficulty.Having no zippers is a plus for me as I find it is always just a matter of time before your zippers fail. My last bag ( a veto pro XL) only lasted 2 years before both zippers went, and the sholder strap was destroyed at that point as well. The dust getting into the bag argument most people resort to as a pro for zipper bags is bs as anyone who actually uses their tools often already knows. Maintaining your bag occasionally to keep it clean is a better trade off than replacing your bag due to worn out zippers which need to be fixed to validate this argument for zipper bags in the first place.I believe the one major trade off with this bag is the lack of a tape measure holder. This almost made me give it 4.5 stars as there is room for improvement here, however I am willing to overlook this minor inconvenience as I simply keep the tape measure in the center pouch now. This bag is also much more compact when compared to other totes and provides quicker more intuitive access to your tools.Overall this is an excellent buy no tradesman electrician will regret. I do not think I will need to buy another bag for a decade as I do know other older journeymen who have had similar bags (ideal brand) for that long.

This tool bag is the best one I have bought in my 30 yrs of industrial electronics/oil field work.

This is a great bag for buck bag. I previously used cloth or textile bags you can pickup at your local big box stores for around ~$50. They would always wear out or tip over.This bag is very well made. Several guys I work with have the +$300 Occidental bags and the quality on this one is less obviously but only a minor amount less IMO. The bags they have are twice the size of this one but twice the weight with all the tools they load them down with.The stitching of the leather and pockets seems to be very good quality. Time will tell I'd say. I did hit this bag with mink oil when I got it. The color was very light and this helped to darken it up a bit and condition the leather.I can carry all the hand tools I use on a daily basis as an overhead door tech/installer. I do wish it had a few more smaller pockets or loops. But I am still trying to figure out the best way to use the large middle section most adequately for what I need to carry. I do feel like the flaps that go up to the carry handle are a little flimsy.Overall I am very pleased with the bag. I've been using it daily for about a month now and am loving it. Hopefully this bag will last me years to come, I would expect it to being leather. But even if it doesn't, at the price it is you are still better off than buying a new $50 bag every year like I had been.

Very high quality!

This thing is made of thick nice leather. Pockets are perfectly sized, however the interior screwdriver loops a tight, but I’m sure they will break in with time.

Have 6 different tool bags around house, shop and work van. This is the best I have found for keeping the basic tools I need to do the job at hand. It is small enough that when I pack it with tools it is still easy to carry through a large warehouse and up ladder ways or stairs. The leather is of good quality and will last ages with constant use. Only negatives is no tape measure clip, and I could have wished for more loops for screw drivers. But would definitely order again.

This product itself is absolute junk. Stitching fell apart within a month of light apprentice use. The handle wrap buttons fell off within a week of picking it up as a first year apprentice with no weight (full of screwdrivers). Aside from the product itself CLC has HORRIBLE customer support as they told me they won't do anything for me since it was purchased off of Amazon and not via them directly. Stuck with a pile of fallen apart leather panels for $150. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

This is a great leather tool pouch for the price. Quality compared to the $500 Ideal pouch is nearly indentical. Buy a waterproof proof coating like mink oil for $5 and rub a thin coat on the bottom if you plan on setting it down on wet surfaces ofter. Overall quality is impresive, stitchings are tight and rivets are well placed at high stress points.

This pouch is small, and in hindsight, I should have got the one for 3 times the price that was larger and finished. The leather is raw, meaning you should oil and stain it to help make sure it'll last. That's a good thing if you want to dye it a certain color or add custom logos to it.

For an electrician, not enough individual tool storage.Has a large inner pocket good for your meter.Has held up for a year now.It's okay, just nowhere near the quality or layout of the occidental ($400.00).

The handle cover fell in my hands when I picked it up , the snapper was not put on properly . Over priced crap with no quality control. Now they tell me that I own it and can’t return it. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! Btw the return policy on items purchased from EIO, witch is who handles these products are quick to wash their hands if it , is 15 days
