A quality tool bag starts with using the right materials. Any tool bag is only as good as it is durable; once it flops over or falls apart, it doesn’t matter how good it used to be. Although tool bags can look similar, key construction features and material choices can differentiate between a good entry and an early candidate for the trash can. How We Tested

The Carhartt Legacy tool bag comes in two colors and two sizes (16 or 14 inches). Anyone interested in a small tool bag should look into the 14-inch size. Material — 1680 denier nylon is becoming an industry standard for tool bags with its high abrasion resistance and its ability to withstand extreme conditions. Leather tool bags are an old-school alternative, durable but heavy and vulnerable to weather conditions. Canvas tool bags are a classic, inexpensive choice. With my diverse kit, I can test a tool bag pretty extensively. Field experience helps me recognize pretenders, and a real passion for a solid tool bag makes me intently analyze utility, advantages, and disadvantages.

Rugged Construction — Where is the tool bag reinforced? Does it have extra layers of material on its corners or bottom? On its seams? What materials are used? These are all questions to take into account when evaluating a tool bag for ruggedness.

Users report a soft base, which doesn’t cushion tools from drops. And like many less expensive zippered bags, the metal frame can punch through its lining after repeated use. Durability — A tool bag can only be good if it still holds your tools. Ballistic nylon, reinforced seams and corners, and heavy-duty construction like riveted handles can increase a bag’s durability. Any tool pouch you wear on a belt needs to be functional, durable, and comfortable. Milwaukee designs a carpenter’s tool pouch with 1680 denier ballistic nylon, a tunnel-style belt loop, and a carry handle to get the job done.
