Initially without ght there was no way I would ever spend that much on a tool bag. I am so glad I did.I have a large powered boat and therefore I have a ton of tools that air keep onboard. After all, it is a boat so there is always something that breaks, or something that has to be maintained. Things have a habit of breaking at the most inopportune times and locations so you have to have all the possible tools available. Furthermore, there is never enough room to store stuff.For years I have used a large, plastic, very sturdy tool box. It works well for storing the tools, keeping them confined, dry, and safe. Unfortunately, it is hard to locate the right tool when they are all piled into a deep dark cavern of a tool box. I would spend as much time trying to find the right tool as I spent using the tool.Hence this bag. The plastic bottom keeps the bad from getting wet when set down on a wet deck or in a wet bilge. The bag zips closed with very sturdy zippers so no chance of tools spilling out when moving the bag.The bag is big. I put all the tool from my box into the bag and still have room left over. It is much easier to pick up and move as well thanks to to the great shoulder strap.Most importantly, when the tools are thoughtfully placed in the bag, they are easily to find, access, and return to the bag when working on a project. After just a few jobs I realized I was saving an incredible amount of time just by having the right tool handy.The fabric is really tough and all the zippers, stitching, rivets and straps are high quality. This tough fabric does mean that it is also a bit stiff. This makes some of the pockets a little hard to slip something in and out of, but it appears that it becomes mor flexible with use.Yeah, it is a lot of money to spend. But for me, the featured will be worth it amortized out over the life if the bag. Likely the bag will outlast me and I can pass it on to my son.
