On the other hand, you don’t need to look further than a smaller handheld [tool bag] if you have a lighter collection of tools, or if you drive between jobs, letting you rest your larger tool bag as you travel.
Go for a holdall style tool bag if you need to handle larger tools that do not fit into a conventional tool bag. Usually made from a tougher material like nylon fibre reinforced with PVC, holdall tool bags come with a webbing handle for extra strength.
When there is limited space or both hands are needed simultaneously, you could go for an easier to carry backpack-style [tool bag]. Besides being more ergonomic, it is also easier to carry the backpack by spreading the weight across both shoulders rather than just one.
If you have to transport heavier and larger tools, a wheeled tool bag may be the right choice. The wheels would not only help you transport your bag easily it will also take a lot of burden from your shoulders. The wheels will also come to aid during transportation.
If you often travel by motorcycle to work, you could go for a bag that not only holds all the essential tools but also comes with clamps and buckles which makes it convenient to fasten onto a bike.
