Tool Bag Backpack, Heavy Duty Tradesman Pro Tool Organizer / Tool Carrier with 39 Pockets and Molded Base, Klein Tools 55421BP-14

Product Information

Clearly, they’re designed for housing longer-handled tools, but they’re placed far too close to the top of the bag for practical use. These bags are manufactured with durable materials to withstand harsh jobsite conditions, just like the Klein hand tools you carry inside them. It’s got space in spades, which is great for those of use that have a fair few tools to lug around at the job site. The innovative curved, fully-molded hard bottom design provides maximum comfort while keeping your devices and tools safe from the elements. This backpack has two main compartments; the front for tools and meters and the back has a protective padded pocket for laptops and tablets up to 17.

Just as Klein offers a variety of tools, job-matched for every kind of work, Klein offers a variety of tool bags for every day carrying. I also really like the molded, impact-resistant, zippered shell where I can keep my more-easily-damaged items, like cell phones and safety glasses. For this review, we put the backpack in the hands of Pete Disher, one of their crew that focuses mainly on commercial jobs. Personally, I don’t consider this a mark against the bag, as I could stand to leave some of my lesser-used tools at the truck. Start with the flat rigid rubberized bottom to keep the bag upright, contents dry, and prevent “poke through” - it just gets better and better.

Whether you’re trimming out, roughing in, performing service work, or something in between, this bag will keep you organized and efficient. I’m a product line manager and was at a field test site at an international airport when one of the tradesman assigned to my team walked in with one of these bags filled with about 80 pounds of tools.

I suppose that if a tool is shorter than the pocket, these elastic straps might prevent the tool from sinking down below the edge of the pocket. The padded shoulder straps are not just sewn into the bag seam - they are mega reinforced onto structural tabs that go into the bag and have a chest cross strap to hold things in place. The only issue I have is the updated design went to a zip pocket on the front, instead of the big buckled pocket. Whether you're looking for a smaller tablet backpack, or a larger bag with dozens of tool holders, there are plenty of size options to choose from.This question makes some sense: he does mostly service work, and he can carry what he needs in a small tool pouch. Ladies - THiS is the gift you want to get for your guy to prove that you “get” him (and to get back at him for rolling his eyes every time you wander off into a purse or shoe discussion with your friends). On both sides there are Kevlar style material pockets with Velcro tabs for multi-tools, folding knives, hex kits, bits and drivers. Klein Tools' TradesmanPro™ XL Tech Backpack is a seriously tough backpack specially designed to keep your devices protected and carry the essentials you need to get you through your day.
