The 8 Best Tool Bags of 2020

For a large, durable tool bag that checks all of the boxes, we love the Custom LeatherCraft 1539 Multi Compartment Carrier. This polyester tool bag can handle all of your tools and it won't stretch out or break.

A spacious inner compartment serves up space for power and hand tools that can be awkward or bulky. The large exterior compartments unfold to reveal 50 pockets for bits, handheld screwdrivers, and other tricks of the trade that can get lost in the bottom of a cavernous bag. The zippered side panels give you extra storage space and you won't have to worry that something will fall out. Plus, the padded should strap will help prevent back and should pain, especially if you tend to carry heavy power tools.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on your tool bag, you can still find a well-made bag that will house all of your gear. Our top pick is the Hi-Spec Heavy Duty Wide Mouth Tool Bag—it's affordably priced, has convenient pockets, and has a rugged exterior.

If you tend to carry around bulky tools, a thick molded base and reinforced sides will keep this bag upright. The rubber handles and the padded shoulder strap make it comfortable to carry.

If you're constantly moving from one location to another, a tool bag that has wheels might be the best pick for you.
