Stanley UK - FatMax® Open Tote Tool Bag

this has been covered recently in the fatmax tote thread, the general opinion was that the fatmax xl tote bag was the same bag as the dewalt tote bag but slightly cheaper (the dewalts about 65 and the stanley being about £55) ive had the fatmax xl for a couple of years now and cant fault it, its taken total abuse and is still going however im going for the dewalt next just out of curiosity.

you can get the dewalt one for 19.99 in B&Q the now i think, not sure it was a while ago check the site save you some cash

 

[adam84]

£19.99 sounds good, theres more than one bag in the screwfix book the dewalt bags start at about £20 and go upto £60 .

The bigger the bag,the quicker it fills with junk!I use a small box,and carry just the essentials,unless its a big job.Why carry hammers and stilsons up 3 flights of stairs to change a tap washer?Far too lazy!

i started out with a bag, and i found them terrible when looking for a certain tool, the bag was nearly empty by the time you found what you were looking for,i suppose the type of bags that open fully ,the type that open up like a big mat, would be a lot better, but i opted for a tool box with compartments, and only carry the tools i use on a daily basis, so it's a tool box for me.
