This mechanics tool bag offers a classic, straightforward design that has been a staple in garages for decades. Made from heavy-duty cotton canvas, it provides a highly flexible storage space that can expand to accommodate bulky items like impact drivers or automotive jumpers. The interior features a vinyl lining at the base, which helps keep moisture from the ground from soaking into the bag and your tools.
A notable feature of this bag is the brass zipper, which offers a traditional look and high durability. Like many metal mechanical parts, the zipper may feel stiff when new; applying a small amount of wax or graphite can help it glide more smoothly during the initial break-in period. The bag includes 8 external pockets that are perfect for items you need to reach quickly, like a tire pressure gauge or a favorite screwdriver.
Practical benefits for your home:
- Soft-sided canvas resists punctures and won't scratch car interiors or home flooring.
- A hard-bottom insert is included to prevent the bag from sagging when carrying heavy batteries.
- The wide-mouth frame stays open, allowing you to see all your tools at a glance.
While the internal volume is generous for hand tools, it is not intended for long-handled saws or large power equipment. The compact 11-inch length makes it a great "go-bag" to keep in a vehicle for emergencies or for a small dedicated plumbing kit under the sink.
For a larger capacity bag capable of holding full-sized contractor tools, the Makita 20-Inch Contractor Bag provides significantly more room.
