We work a lot on sites that involve parking your service van a long way from the job, so my tool bag tends to end up a fair chonker to make sure I have the right tools on hand and save wandering back and forwards constantly. I mean to the point where I get blood blisters on my shoulder from carting my stupidly heavy tote bag via the shoulder strap everywhere.
I'm keen to move to a backpack to save giving myself a permanent injury, but reckon most of them look a bit small...
Anyone rolling a backpack for their toolbag and got some pro tips for brands etc?
Things I need: Good size, plastic / rubber / some other hard base, plenty of separate pockets instead of one big fold out section, and a good grab handle to move it around without needing to sling it by the straps. Also no reliance on a removable pocket to hold screwdrivers etc. I had that in a cheapie I bought for a job overseas and it was a massive pain in the proverbial. Don't need or want a laptop sleeve compartment.
Current thoughts are:
-
Klein Tools Tradesman Pro Backpack (but has a tool caddy, gross)
Price is not really a concern, so happy to grab the Veto if its the best. It just seems a bit small compared to the others? I'm a pretty large lad so carting around a decent sized backpack is preferable to looking like I'm wearing a purse.
