    Yeah box bags are great. Easy to get at your tools and pockets everywhere.

    Had my one of these since 2006. Still like new.


    However it holds my laminate tools. My main box is a big one with wheels on it. There is lack of parking in areas i used to work so used to have maybe a 500 meter walk with tools. Hence i used to use a box with wheels.

    I've been thru about one bag a year for the last 4 years, the fatmax was the last and the handle snapped! So I've gone back to a big Irwin box, very tough, and loads better if you rely on your loading being modular. I found it easy to overload just having the tote bag, soon becomes messy!

    Got loads of boxes separated into carpet, vinyl, laminate etc.. but have a few bags for loading to do smaller jobs.
