Tool bags

Tools of the Trade, May-June, 2005

Veto Pro Pac now offers its upright-storage-style tool bags in three designs. The original Model XL holds more than 100 hand tools of various sizes; Model XXL-F (shown) has space for more than 80 tools, with 55 pockets and two long, open storage areas for holding longer, larger tools; and Model LC, a smaller version of the XL, is a job-specific bag with 57 pockets and space for 75 hand tools. The bags have a fixed center panel that keeps tools upright for better organization, the maker says. They are made with 1800 denier fabric and a 3-mm polypropylene base and include an overmolded ergonomic grip and shoulder strap. * Cost: $100-$150-877-847-1443. www.vetopropac.com. Circle #240.
