Product Description
Rothco's mechanics bag has eight inside pockets that are specifically designed to organize and store tools. Made of heavyweight cotton canvas, the bag is durable enough to carry weighty instruments without losing its shape Read More
Great for holding tools and other items. Good workmanship and constructed from a thick fabric material for durability in mind. Have been using these daily for more than 3 years now, and they're yet to show any signs of wear.
These bags are perfectly sized for small jobs. They're all natural materials means washing them is not an issue at all. Have kept one in my trunk for years.
Makes and excellent tool bag. I keep it behind my passenger seat with my jack and tire iron. Functionally it is a bit smaller than a shoebox, I don't know why but I was expecting it to be bigger. That being said for what I need it holds all my simple tools. A full set of screwdrivers, a set of small metric wrenches, a small and medium size crescent wrench, pliers and wire cutters, a battery terminal tool, my continuity tester for checking fuses, a set of picks, a small led flashlight, and a utility knife all in the main compartment.
Why don't I use the side compartments to store any of that? Maybe organize it a bit? I'm glad you asked. The snaps are awful. I mean they are certainly secure, because they are extremely stiff. Lots of stuff made overseas has what I would refer to as an extra tight finish. They use prefabricated generic parts that fit perfectly fine until they get painted or plated for cosmetics and they become out of spec and either fit way too tight or not at all. That being said its not a huge loss for me, there isn't much space in those pockets for tools anyways but I am a packrat so it may fit your needs. I also don't use the tool organizer inside, None of my tools really fit in them without jutting out of the top of the bag and they are pretty small in size. I imagine most screwdriver handles would be too big to fit. If you use it as a range bag I'm sure some bore brushes would fit fine, definitely rolled up swatches. Little bits and bobs. Don't expect to be organizing standard size tools in them.
That being said, I love this bag for what it is and the price I paid. Short of filling it with lead I don't think it would break on you. I have sensitive skin and unlike some other bags and fabrics items I have bought I didn't get a weird rash from handling this before cleaning it. It did smell weird, other people have mentioned that as well. The zipper is sturdy. As I mentioned before it is not very big which I was looking for at the time but now I would buy it again for that reason, it stows away nicely in tight spaces even when filled as long as it isn't way overstuffed. Buy one if it comes up again.
I use the bag at the shootingrange. It has space for some "hardware", some tools and a pair of Peltors. It does the job well and seems to be very durable.
