I bought this bag as an alternative solution to another name brand. First impressions were very good. The bag seemed strong, plenty of space to arrange tools. I work on a drillship, so there is lots of hiking/climbing, this bag sat nicely. I even used the handle grips for lifting the bag, and they held great. Now that I'm on year 6, my bag is settled in, full range of pliers, metric wrenches, screw drivers, odd fittings, a multimeter, socket set, lots of tape...theres a hammer...i mean the list goes on. WHAT I've now observed failing is the interior lining, mainly on the shoulder straps side, and the oppositie interior lining has started to rip from the seams (possibly due to weight?). Interestingly enough, no exterior rips/tears/holes. Will I buy one of these again in the future to replace this? Yes, most likely in another 2-3 years I hope, but yes, I do quite enjoy this bag.

When I need to climb to my work site, keeping my hands free is important. Even when I'm not climbing, freeing them up to carry something else can prove useful, as well. I've used different tool backpacks, but so far this is my favorite one. It is a well-made and thought out bag. I like that it opens into two separate compartments, instead of just one. It has a LOT of pockets, d-rings, and useful spaces, including the long tool slot on the outside. I've never been a fan of wearing the backpack-style toolbags, as I tend to overload them, but carrying that load evenly across both shoulders is so much easier on my body than carrying it on one shoulder, out of balance, putting stress on my back and pinching my nerves.

This is an amazing tool backpack that is standing the test of time. It has more pockets, fastening loops and uses than I could ever imagine. Super strong material, handle loops, zippers and straps. I would recommend this bag for climbers, WAH, electricians etc. When I'm climbing or WAH a tool bag that free's your hands can be key!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very durable backpack. Stitching is strong in all the right spots. PLENTY of room for all of my tools. Very comfortable fitting contours right to your body. Even with my tools loaded in this it still stands up when I set it down. I really can't find or say anything negative a bout this product.
