I am a service plumber/hvac tech and this bag has already outlasted the other bags i have used. I was buying a new bag once a year for about $50.00 a pop (husky, clc). this WILL outlast all of them. At 129.00 it better. The heavy duty pvc base keeps everything dry when the floor is wet or has some standing water. the loops of the sides allow you to hang the bag to the ceiling using climbing clips and a chain. (not provided). the tool pockets are heavy canvas so they will not rip. The shoulder strap had a nice pad on it so the heaviness of the bag wont dig into your shoulder and is attached to the bag with metal rings that is connected to the bag with a piece of leather. its overall a nice solid bag that any trademan should get if they are getting tired of using crappy bags. You will get year of service out of it.The bag itself is heavy when empty and even more so with tools. my bag weight about 50lbs full. This might not be ideal for a homeowner who wont use it much.The bag has a visable tag that says connecticut on it , then I found a smaller tag down in the bag that says made in china. In not sure if this is the whole bag or just some of it. I tend to go out of my way to buy american, however i never found any bag except for a klein**************1 / 15/ 2012... still have this bag and is still great. has been beaten down but no failures at all! worth the money
