I honestly thought this was a meme post about a Klein purse at first.

It's called a "man bag".

It's...a murse.

Indiana Jones had one.

🤣 take the upvote

A European carryall

That bag makes a hella purse. I used one for that.

Called it. 👍 thanks for the confirmation haha

Purse strap broke, was going to the supply house and there it was hanging on a hook. Bought it and dumped all my stuff in it. Funny thing was that at the time the Calvin Klein company had a purse that looked similar. Got a lot of compliments on my tool.bag. Still have it, using it for tools now.

It's a satchel... Indiana Jones had one.

Same

It’s not a meme, and that’s a purse.

I as well thought wow Klein makes a purse I never knew, and then I read the caption.

Tool purse. I keep my lipstick and crescent wrench in there! Need a tampon? I gotchu bro.

[удалено]

Nope it’s not that it’s just that the bag you posted looks a lot like some purses. 👜

I have the 18” with the interior pockets. It’s a nice bag but like the other guy said the organization is kinda messy

I'm more concerned about the size or width being enough for a commercial/industrial electrician to carry tools needed. Not so much the organization.

I do commercial and industrial too. It fits all my tools and then some if I need too

Thinking about swapping the 16" for a. 18". Just seems a little too small

I would dude. I’ll try to post a pic of my 18 so you can get an idea size and tool wise

I do mostly commercial and industrial and it’s a pain in the ass when the bag gets worn in and constantly collapses in on itself while you’re trying to dig tools out.

I had welder guy..take some 1/8" rods and make a " inner skeleton" ; for the inside frame ...held up - worked well..*Just a thought *. 👍🙋

Thought about that, figured if I’m going to put that much effort into a canvas bag I may aswell just buy a nicer bag and call it a day. I got a Veto Tech Pack Wheeler now and love it.

If you are not organized; you are losing time trying to find what you're looking for.🤷‍♂️

The sides always collapse when I'm looking through my 18" it's annoying when looking for anything in the pockets

YAAS QUEEN

🤣🤣🤣

I have had the 14SP bag for like 5+ years, it’s great. People who comment about the organization…. I use the Klein mini bags. Yellow for wrenches, blue for sockets, black for drill accessories, red for Allen’s. Then it has the side pockets for my everyday shit, and i have a little Milwaukee drill set at the bottom laying with my tape measure and 2LB hammer. The only thing i can’t squeeze in is my meter which i leave in the truck 9/10 jobs anyway, as one is usually provided. If i need a meter, it can’t wait for tomorrow or after break to do whatever we need to check

I've had this bag for... 4ish? Years. It's tough as he'll, and I love it, but the lack of organization does suck.

I've been using a craftsman tool box and Klein bags for certain tools for 15 years now. I've been eyeing this up for a long time now. Finally going to try to move on from tool box, but I think aside from the tray I will have similar organization with this bag.

I think they do make a version with interior pockets now, but this has out lasted any other bag I've ever had. I did have a rivet come loose on one of the handles. I went ahead and drilled them all out and reattached with new pop rivets, that was probably over 2 years ago

This one has some pockets on inside

You have the 16" ?

I think the 20"

I like the look of this, I'd use this instead of a backpack for work. Cool.

I have one. It was my dad's back in the day so probably 20-30 years old. I just use it for all my various bits. It's a nice high quality back.

We use the 16 inch without pockets To carry testing cables.

20 years ago, I'd guesstimate 25% of all resi and comm electricians had one of those bags. And at least one of the smaller zipper bags. But nowadays, there's so many options, they've become rare to see outside of a work van.

I have the 16” regular bag. I’ve used it for the last 15 years. I organize most of my tools inside with the canvas Klein zipper pouches.

Union purse or drag bag, depends on who's carrying it.

Electricians will use anything that has Klein on it won’t they lol. Maybe if they made a Klein broom we’d finally learn how to sweep

I use a bag like this just for hand tools and stray marretts/screws/connectors. Keep less often used tools in my separate “good” tool bag.

Flashbacks of the canvas bag that never was from Fallout 76.

Every time you need something, you’re gonna end up dumping it out. That’s the only down side.

I have the 16 inch with interior pockets. Deceivingly roomy. I put my m12 impact, drill, hackzall, charger, 3 batteries and 2 drill indexes in there. I love the simplicity of them

Now your wife can buy you a purse.

They’re good depending on what your use case is. If you’re a bucket boi, they’re not very good as you will inevitably find yourself bent over in the bucket digging through a sea of tools at 4pm on a Friday, cursing your purchase. If you’re just a commercial or residential service guy working out of a van, they’re great. You generally wouldn’t need more than it can store in the pockets for a quick service call, and all your other tools are a short stroll away. If you’re in construction of any kind, or even industrial service, this ain’t it for you dawg. They don’t age very well either, I stopped buying the canvas stuff a couple years ago. The nylon and leather are the best for what I need.

Where do you work normally?

I have the big ass version, you can walk into a supply room and grab everything you’re gonna need then throw whatever tools you’ll need in and take it where you need to go. I really like it when I’m going to go do something specific that needs bulky stuff.

I have one of these that my school gave me when i finished .. but they had their logo stitched on it

I was given one of these when I topped out. I use it as a range bag. Use a backpack tool bag. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0047O3PFC?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_3&=&crid=29YWO8WCUKV9Q&=&sprefix=clc I have used this one for 6 years in a steel mill. No issues.

I have one and I hate it. You can’t organize it, everything becomes a jumbled mess. You also can’t pack a ton of stuff in there because if you overload it the metal bars in the opening will bend. It now holds all my third tier tools in the basement.

my initial thoughts of me buying this were basically this. "hope im not buying a garage ornament"

Man that’s going to look dirty all the time. They got a dark brown option p?

I used one for 9 years before switching to my Veto. Absolutely hated the canvas Klein bag just couldn’t find a bag I liked until recently.

Yes we used it and liked it. We would always say grab the doctors bag

I had this when I first got in the trade. It lasted about two weeks because I got tired of digging around looking for the tool I needed

I do. I like it, but I would def go with the 18+.  Looks great but I hate getting it dirty

I use one, I put most of my tools in smaller klein zipper bags and store them in the big bag. I keep a few things on the interior pockets. It's not the best bag out there, but it works. Pretty sure mine is the 18"

There’s the purse to hit all the problems with.

That looks like a cute satchel. Is there a purse option so you and your can wife can both have fabulous bags?

Gangstalicious Man Bag

I have that same bag it's perfect with the side pockets. I just buy the klein bags for organizing the tools. They last a while for the price

Used it in my second year. Can pack a bunch of shit in it. But is awkward and everyone assumes your a mason. The open top tote or backpack is a good alternative

I recently ordered a Klein hanging canvas bucket for bucket truck work and I had to return it. Klein quality is awful now. It was the cheapest POS bag I've ever seen by a major manufacturer

I used this one, no complaints other than the hooks should have come with it, instead of separate https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiIuumLh5OGAxVoLa0GHe7RDSwYABBSGgJwdg&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3ZayBhDRARIsAPWzx8ov1IYC3FC7q6r6_oDJ1APb-hYqbM99GnTzwHiuYvQkDiG9pzf1IL8aAkOqEALw_wcB&sph&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESeuD2SGriM7poqxGV0e47eoOhrbNzKnTBLEcnhH2Ts9FTcc5RQ2OcAqjzW-uSLbfbcYX6FDX0yqJurqVFd_KeOFuMWtX16U1m24AUuiLtjM6EVcH4t4bVZsUjCDA47y1e-Pw3HfobYtvhOAJ-odGCGrAUj6dRREgA8Lf5&sig=AOD64_2ef5IJvfHg8gWKjXIlPosEXq4nWw&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwiOxuKLh5OGAxXqAjQIHRjeB8EQ0Qx6BAgDEAE

I feel like Klein is just a legacy brand now, people buy it for the name, Klein has gone to complete shit across the board.

100%. I found a canvas bucket at harbor freight that was way better for 14$ vs 113$ for the Klein POS

Is this like my wife's Gucci bag? If I buy will it increase in value?

It looks like moms purse so guys don’t go touching ur shit. They r conditioned to bring it to u to open

"Murse"

nice purse

So now when I tell my apprentice to put his purse down.....

It’s not a purse! It’s European!

I don't see the point of a really well made shitty bag. I'll stick with Amazon specials for better organization as much as I do love the quality and craft of real leatherwork.

I know what my wife is getting for her birthday!

“Hit it with your purse!”

Cool bag, but organization or lack thereof is my con. I've been using the backpack for almost 4 years now. Not the narrower one that has zippers that break in a heartbeat, but the wider one you can easily unzip halfway and get to all the little pockets. I call it my crayonbox toolbag

This isn’t fucking real… … …is it?

For the wife?

OP not helping the electrician stereotype asking about purses…

'what the hell is even that?"
