The Amazon Basics 12-inch tool bag is a compact and efficient option for keeping essential household tools in one place. Measuring just a foot long, it fits easily on a shelf or in a vehicle's trunk. It features a wear-resistant base that helps the bag stand upright and provides a layer of protection against moisture and oil stains commonly found on garage floors.
Constructed from 600-denier polyester, the bag is designed to handle the weight of common hand tools and small power units. With 16 pockets in total—9 inside and 7 outside—it helps prevent small items from getting lost at the bottom. This size is particularly well-suited for 12V cordless drill sets, though larger 20V professional drills may fit tightly against the zipper.
Usage highlights include:
- Integrated wire frame that keeps the bag open while you work.
- Padded shoulder strap for more comfortable carrying during longer walks.
- Reinforced bottom that helps the bag maintain its shape and resist punctures.
The hardware for the shoulder strap is designed for typical home use; for very heavy loads exceeding 20 pounds, the carrying handles are the most reliable option. To ensure the zipper operates smoothly for years, avoid overfilling the bag to the point where the fabric is significantly stretched at the seams.
If you require a more traditional hard-shell container with locking capabilities, the Craftsman 16-Inch Tool Box is an excellent choice.
