McGuire Nicholas 22128 8-Inch Electrician Maintenance Tote

I was an electrician before I retired so the fact that this bag was supposedly designed with that particular trade in mind, drew me to it, initially. I've actually been searching for the perfect handyman/homeowner small project tote for awhile. I've tried several different things from tool boxes with wheels to other bags and small tool boxes, never really being satisfied.

I was sick of looking in every drawer for the right screwdriver. This bag now holds all of my most commonly used tools, and tucks away for easy storage and organization. A great value for the money.

A few improvements would make this a 5-star product. A hard plastic panel on the bottom inside of the tote would prevent bits from gouging and penetrating the nylon. Adding four protruding rubber feet would keep the base off the floor and prevent wear. A metal wire stiffener should be added to the handle and top sides to keep the top open for easier access and drill holstering. The shoulder strap should be detachable. And a few more pockets and loops inside and out would be nice.
