Yeah, I've seen those before and were curious about them...nice looking bag for sure.

[appl.tech.29501]

I know what you mean, I got an XL CLC bag similar to your but without the pvc reinforcement. My plan was not to have to keep going to the truck but its so heavy. I had good intentions however I am a severe tool head. I might just seperate the commonly used tools to a smaller bag and get the others in the big one that can stay in the truck.

I have the LC and the open lc modle, It's great and takes a beating, but you can never close it up with a drill and meter in it, + you end up taking eveything with you and the bag gets heavy. Woth the invesment, and they will warranty the strap for a few years.

Tech 29501....... Nice looking tool bag.......Will all of your tools / meters fit ???? I tried to down size, but always had to go back to the van get the tools that I removed to 'lighten ' the bag.... ( made the mistake of weighing the bag..40 pounds ) ..........The tool case I have now is getting on in the years....

.......It is a Platt. model 652Z-4.......lasted for 8+ years...

The bag only was $125 and the 'pallets' for $25 each.....

....

I was thinking of two smaller bags, but could not get the 'primary' tools into one bag.....At least the bag has a shoulder strap.....

[appl.tech.29501]

It should hold all your stuff especially since your not carring a laptop.
The pictures dont show it but both side fold down for storage.

Costs about $115 dropped shipped from the UK ...arrive in 7 days.

Let me know if you want the link to order it.

[certified tech group 51]

Platt. made in the U.S.A. The $125 was 8 years ago,,,now it is 'price on request'............ In the pictures , you only see 3/4 of the tools and meters.........I hate squeezing behind an appliance and I do not have the " right tool for the job"...............appl. tech, went to the link, the bag looks like it would fit a lot if I tried to down size......................... I am one of those silly people that will look at where it was made..... I will pay extra if I see "Made In The U.S.A." on the label....................

[appl.tech.29501]

I still have a big bag in my truck with other tools that i rarely use. The new bag fits everything i need for normal calls.
Nobody in the US stocks it. Gotta get it from the UK if ya want it but through a US company.

I couldnt really find anything US made that I liked.
The main features I liked about this bag in particular was
the formed center comparment for laptop and the overall
rugged construction of the bag.The water proof bottom was
a plus as well. The bag is also stable standing up weather
the sides are down or not. So far I have been very pleased.

I hate making multiple trips to the truck. I've had my eye on the vetopro for a while (cutie, if you happen to read this, remember my birthday is approaching fast). I have spent a lot of time downsizing my tools. Not only in quantity but size and try to find good multipurpose tools. For the last several years I have been using an aluminum tool box remarkably from Harbor freights. It's $34, strong, has a lock to keep customers' kids out if I have to go to the truck and it is very professional looking. I use plastic boxes such as dewalts wonderful magnetic toughcases http://www.amazon.com to separate smaller items and hold screws (customers think this is the coolest thing when I stick one on a fridge). I use an amprobe pocket multimeter http://www.amprobe.com/Amprobe but have the big boys in the truck just in case. Rarely do I have to get them. My drill driver of choice is the excellent bosch PS21http://www.amazon.com/Bosch very compact and strong as heck. Never had to break out a big drill. Use the Klein 11-1. and have assorted hand tools,test cords. laser therms and kill o watt kept in separate zipper bags. My favorite tool however is a leatherman wave multi-tool with bit driver adapter that I wear on my belt at all times for use in a pinch http://www.amazon.com/Leathe. My android with 4g has eliminated my need for a laptop and I use "invoices to go" and just recently square up and gopayment to do card processing. I use a cree mini flashlight (given to me by a customer) that has the single most powerful led bulb I've seen on a small flashlight http://www.amazon.com/Fenix-Leve. This easily fits in the case with room to spare for corded lights etc. I bring in a matching standard aluminum attache case that holds a steamer and absorbent cloths when I need to defrost.

I wouldn't leave home without it. http://www.homedepot...catalogId=10053. I removed the handle and use the shoulder strap. It sucks that I paid $89.00 for mine last year.

Okay, I got two shots at getting a veto pro. In 4 days it's my birthday and xmas in 1.5 months. I hinted at it the other day and my girl said " but you already have a bag with a lot of zippers and pockets and you stop using it because you never could figure out which zipper to unzip and which pocket to look in." So I showed her a youtube video of the CL and she thinks I can handle its two zipper configuration..."at my age." ah ha!.... that gives me an idea for a birthday song. To be debuted on 11/11/11 unless the binary configuration of that date destroys the internets.

no problem ... Al Gore will just invent a new internet ...

[kdog]

Well, do tell - did ya get a new bag, or are you still stuck with your old bag ?

[DurhamAppliance]

No bag, but I got a gift certificate that I can use to get one. Now, only if I can keep my focus....man that Jawbone bluetooth headset looks nice, saw a sweet looking jacket the other day......focus, focus.

[DurhamAppliance]

She got wind that I was going to use the card for a vetopro, revealed that it was going to be a Xmas present and went ahead and ordered the CL today. Early Xmas present. Meh, but who gets excited over a tool bag?
Not me.
