Stanley Fatmax Open Tote Bag

I've waited a little while before writing this to get some good use of it. I'm a relatively avid diy-er, and wanted a solid tool box which didn't require endless rummaging around. I use this as a general DIY toolbox which comfortably holds everything I might generally need for the majority of standard tasks, with extra room to chuck in any additional tools, drills, etc. as needed. There are some nice little touches which work really well - tape measure clip, hand saw pocket (I've been using this recently for a square), straps for longer spirit levels, side pockets which can carry bit sets, stud/cable finders, multimeters, etc. very well, along with space for pens/pencils. I've used all of these pockets/areas and they all work well. It is very well built and the base is really solid, which means that it copes well with the weight of tools that are being carried, but also - this doesn't go anywhere or tip over when thrown into the boot of the car. The handle feels completely solid and is a comfortable carry. The shoulder strap is a nice addition too and works well. My favourite thing with this is that it's really easy to see what tools are where, and makes them extremely easy to access. I was always forever rummaging around for a specific tool in old toolboxes, but now everything is easy to find and access. The internal straps are solid and so far, seem to easily hold the vast majority of hand tools in all shapes and sizes. I've had this for about six months now and have given it some fair use in that time, and it still feels pretty much new, so I'm confident that it holds its own. I've seen people in trade using this which was another reason I went for this and it reassured me of its robustness, so hopefully it continues to live up to expectations. In short, I settled on this after a bit of research and I have been pleasantly surprised. It has done everything I'd hoped for and more, and if I ever lost this - I'd buy another. Highly recommended!

Fabulous tote. With many pockets and strong and sturdy construction.. highly recommended.. and at a good price too ...

I wanted to buy a bag to carry maintenance items, keeping them separate from my main tool bag. This tote bag is ideal for maintenance work. All contents are easily accessible, and there are many useful pockets and bands that make organising the bag simple. It comes with a strap, so you can carry it via the main handle or over your shoulder. The bag is comfortable to use either way. The quality is great for the price.

Really nice, good product 👌

As a professional flooring technician I have to carry many tools around with me, including heavy mallets, knives and stretcher. I tried traditional toolboxes, but I found these to be a bit too much to carry into customers houses plus the hinges never ever lasted long enough. I also purchased a back-pack tool carrier, which at first was very good. Carrying heavy tool boxes in one arm all the time can be very stressful on your back, so with the back-pack I could sling my tools over my shoulder. However the biggest problem with the back-pack was tool access, on a few occasions I put my hand into the bag to get a tool and found my very sharp knife. So it had to get replaced. I was given vouchers as a present so I decided to purchase the Tote bag, and it has been one of my greatest buys. Every tool is easily visible and there are so many compartments for many different types of tools. The size is also bigger than I expected, I was prepared to have to carry my carpet stretcher outside the tote bag, but it fits perfectly inside. All of my tools fit in with room to spare. Used with shoulder strap it is perfect for my job as it gives you free use of your arms to carry other equipment or even open doors. I know there are no compartments like a tool box for screws etc but small tupperware dishes are just as good. I have seen many different professions using these from electricians, plumbers to even painters and they all praise the very highly. I have a feeling my colleagues may also purchase these. Don't even think about buying one of these, as Nike say JUST DO IT!!!!!!

I purchased this bag some time ago in B&Q for £38.00 for a colleague who has trouble 'maintaining' his tools. He has had it now for 3 years and tosses it into his van and has massively over loaded it, be it dusty, it is in as good as condition as it was on day one. So I purchased myself one • Quality is very good considering the price now on Amazon at £25.00 rather than the £38.00 I originally paid which makes this a steal. Stanley has out done themselves in this department. Every corner is riveted and the handle is double riveted. • Very useful, the inside is lined with slots for tools although better suited to smaller hand tools such as pliers. The inside ends have elasticated parts although it is difficult trying to put anything in. One outside end pocket has a strap for securing whatever you put in there. The other side has a pocket and a drill bit holder (useful for putting pencils in) The level holder is also not a gimmick and incredibly handy for fitting a 60cm level in. Outside sides have a tenon saw holder and other side lined with pockets. •Durability- I think this is the main concern when buying any kind of tool holder as it is generally subjected to heavy weight and abuse which mine has certainly been for a prolonged time and it is incredibly strong. •Other brands? I've had Dewalt, C.K, Makita all are much more expensive and they flex and buckle when this has not. Very happy with this tool bag, it's no suprise it's the best seller.

I am a carpenter, working Monday-Friday and sometimes weekends, this bag is with me at all times. it's left in all weather conditions. i must have least 20kg's worth of kit sat in this bag, and ain't failed on me at all. odds/ends that you use a lot stick in side pockets, tons space in center, that does include sds, impact drivers jigsaw's anything you need. it will probably fit in this bag. also want to show my appreciation for the shoulder strap, use it all the time carrying it up stairs, around house's etc. it's perfect and hardly a scratch on it, amazing piece of kit, well done Stanley. Just some advice on other bags. Tape measure holder, mmm debatable card holder. ain't ever seen anyone use one. ever. sizing's of pockets. i would consider maybe more detailed analysis of what sizing are, and what for? the saw holder, I may have this wrong but is that a tenon saw holder? seriously? ask how many trades men use that? that's a whole side of one bag wasted to that, a hack saw fair enough. jack saw fair enough..but tenon? either way i love the bag and for the money I paid. well done. re-make this bag stanley. can make a hell of a lot of good money off this guy! p.s annoyed about your £10 sale, i didn't get another one :*(

Hubby very pleased with his tool bag would buy again Stanley quality

J’ai acheté ce sac à outils parce que je commence à m’intéresser à la mécanique et au bricolage, et je voulais un truc solide pour transporter mes outils. Franchement, je suis super content de mon choix. Le sac est bien grand, avec pas mal de poches à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur, donc on peut vraiment organiser ses outils comme on veut. Il reste bien ouvert quand on le pose, ce qui est super pratique pour attraper rapidement ce dont on a besoin sans devoir tout sortir. La qualité est vraiment au rendez-vous. Le tissu est épais, les coutures sont solides, et la base rigide en plastique protège bien quand on le pose par terre, même sur des surfaces un peu sales ou humides. Les poignées sont confortables, et la bandoulière est utile si le sac commence à être lourd. Il est peut-être un peu encombrant si on a juste quelques petits outils, mais pour un usage régulier ou plus sérieux, c’est clairement un bon investissement. En résumé : robuste, pratique, bien pensé. Je le recommande si tu veux un sac qui tient le coup et qui te suit partout sans problème.

Arrivato il pacco oggi con puntualità d'orologio. La primissima impressione è che è veramente solido e compatto, ma allo stesso tempo flessibile: lo si può prendere a calci senza danneggiarlo. Veramente rifinito e ben curato, e con duecentomila tasche! LATO LUNGO 1 Su un lato lungo, quello visibile in foto per capirci, ci sono 5 tasche, ma a parte questo il bello avviene sugli altri lati... LATO LUNGO 2 Dall'altro lato c'è una tasca grande ad astuccio e molto capiente, con doppia chiusura a velcro, dietro la quale una lampo apre una tasca per il segaccio, rivestita internamente con della plastica liscia in modo che non venga rovinata dalla lama, e poi una stringa assicura il manico passando per una fibbia e poi bloccandosi con il velcro. Io ho una sega di 50cm (manico compreso) e c'entra tranquillamente: "nun se mòve" si dice a Roma :) LATO CORTO 1 In questo lato, visibile in foto, c'è un gancio di ferro per incastrare il metro, al di sotto del quale c'è una tasca. Io avrei spostato il gancio un po' più su, visto che c'è spazio, oppure ridotto l'altezza della tasca, perché una volta incastrato il metro la stessa diventa poco accessibile. Di fianco al metro un taschino trasparente per i biglietti da visita e sotto una tasca porta-penne ad astuccio e alta 16cm, sempre con chiusura a velcro. In questa tasca si possono inserire 6 penne o matite e c'è dello spazio anche per altro, tipo temperino, bolle delle livelle e altri piccoli accessori. Per "matite" intendo quelle classiche da disegno e non quelle piatte da muratore, che sebbene qui non c'entrino c'è molto spazio per poterle inserire altrove. LATO CORTO 2 Tutto questo lato è sfruttato da un'ampia tascona aperta, ma richiudibile da una cinta verticale al centro che, passando per una fibbia si richiude su sé stessa bloccandosi lungo ben 8cm di velcro. Ideale per metterci una matassina di cavo arrotolato. TASCHE INTERNE Più che di "tasche", internamente si parla di cinte elastiche a circa 15cm dal fondo e cucite in più più punti per potervi inserire più strumenti. Si possono inserire 4 strumenti per lato corto 5 per lato lungo. Sui lati lunghi le cinte al centro hanno uno spazio più largo (io su un ci ho incastrato 2 tubi di silicone ). PORTA LIVELLA Questa soluzione è geniale quanto curata: lungo i "montanti" laterali del LATO LUNGO 2 (quello dove va il segaccio), ci sono 2 stringhe che partono dalla tasca e arrivano fin oltre il manico centrale. Queste stringhe si bloccano attraverso i soliti 8cm di velcro e la cosa molto importante è che sia i lati della cesta che la parte interna delle stringhe è rivestita di silicone antiscivolo. Invece di una livella, ci ho fissato la pistola per silicone con tanto di tubo inserito, e non scivola giù per niente! MANICO CENTRALE Il manico centrale è un "tubo" di acciaio di circa 1", rivettato ai lati insieme ai ganci per la tracolla. Al centro del manico c'è un'impugnatura di plastica antiscivolo di 12,5cm (comodamente impugnabile). La cinta antiscivolo è lunga nel suo totale 125cm + ganci, ma già raccorciata ad 80-90cm è più che comoda e maneggevole. Forse l'unico neo sono i ganci che non possono ruotare su sé stessi ma hanno il verso, ma forse questo è stato appositamente evitato perché altrimenti avrebbe inficiato sulla sicurezza, dato il peso. Sostanzialmente è un ottimo prodotto. Come sempre il marchio Stanley si distingue per i suoi prodotti di qualità e durevoli nel tempo. Se siete in cerca di un cestello compatto ma capiente per poter riposare strumenti ingombranti e grossolani, oppure anche pratico e di rapido accesso, è un acquisto sicuro. 5 stelle meritate davvero

Great bag will buy again

Prisvärd rejäl väska. Hård botten. Mycket plats för mejslar och småverktyg.

Das Hauptfach ist gut in der Größe - da kann man leicht reingreifen und es passt viel rein wobei es gut übersichtlich bleibt. Die Gummischlufen an den Innenseiten sind auch sehr gut - da hängen Schutzbrille, Cutter etc, womit der Innenraum selbst, also der "Boden" für die groben Sachen einmal mehr übersichtlich bleibt. Und außen sind auch noch ordentlich Einsteckmöglichkeiten, womit Zangen o. ä. auch schon untergebracht sind. Die Extraeinschubmöglichket für eine Säge ist dabei besonders sinnvoll - da kann man sich nicht an einer Säge schlitzen, wenn man ins Fach greift und ein breites Blatt eines z. B. Fuchsscwanzes verdeckt nicht die anderen Werkzeuge - das ist super durchdacht. Ich habe nicht alle Einsteckmöglichkeiten an Innen- und Ausenseite ausgeschöpft und habe dennoch alles Nicht-Elektrische dabei, was ich brauche, wenn ich etwas zu werkeln habe. Dabei ist diese FatMax-Werkzeugtrage von Stanley auch noch bemerkenswert robust - ich weiß nicht, wie man da jemals etwas kaputtkriegen könnte. Auch der Boden ist ein absolut robustes, schwarzes Stück strukturiertes Plastik, das sehr robust wirkt. Und dass der Tragegriff aus verchromten Metall ist, der mittig einen angenehmen Gummigriff hat, sieht super aus, ist robust und angenehm zu tragen. Wer möchte kann dann auch noch den mitgelieferten Schultergurt dran machen. Sehr gut durchdachte, praktische, geräumige und dennoch nicht zu große, gut aussehende Werkzeugtrage. Weiß nicht, was da besser sein könnte oder sollte.
