Greenlee Tool Bag Reviews

My daughter had to purchase her own tools for her tech school electrical class (which is her major). The kit contained all the tools she could possibly need.

I've been looking at this bag online for a while thinking it was like a Platt case I had years ago. I saw it on sale and thought I'd give it a try.Pros:1. Bag is well constructed of good materials and will probably last many years. There is a nice MADE IN USA tag on the inside, so you know it's not made of lead based paint.2. Inside loops and holders for telecom tools. More on that below. Outside pockets are very generous. There are two pockets on one side, each will hold a 10 inch netbook, not padded, but they will fit. Small parts organizers would be great in them.3. The rubber handle wrap is better than some of the cases (SPC?) that have a great wad of sponge for a handle.4. Size, this is a fairly large case. Almost 12 inches tall, 14 inches wide, and 7.5 inches thick. The largest outside pocket is nearly the full size of the case and 2 inches deep, probably fit a mid side laptop or a portfolio.Cons:1. The screwdriver loops are sized for small handled drivers and won't fit the fat Kleins that I have, Also the holes in the bottoms are too small to use then for nut drivers, even if the handles fit.2. Once the Butt set is in place it gets tight and hard to close pretty fast, I leave a banjo and testar2 on my clips and had to remove it to close the bag.3. I couldn't figure out what all the loops are for, probably for CO builder or OSP type tools, not as well suited for field techs. Might be a little dated or narrow focused in that regard. I don't carry a lot of traditional telecom…

I am a facility manager for a large church. I had been looking for a bag that will hold most of the tools that I need for a variety of problems. I needed someting bigger then a tool pouch, but smaller then a large tool bag. This did the trick! Priced right and of excellent quaity (someting I expected since I use Greenlee electical tools). I am very happy this purchase.

I've had this tool bag for about two months now. I use it to carry a hacksaw, miscellaneous fasteners and small parts, an impact, spare batteries, a charger, oversized handtools, and several drill bit kits. This bag's really too expensive to be intentionally subjected to anything beyond typical jobsite abuse, but through my own carelessness I've discovered that it is easily cleaned, still looks good after being dropped or thrown, and holds up fairly well when disaster strikes. Functionally, the best thing about the bag is the shoulder strap: it's anchored diagonally, which keeps the bag comfortably balanced. This is doubly important, since the bag's capable of holding quite a bit of stuff. The padded interior seems to keep my larger gear well-cushioned. Around the zipper the inside of the bag is fairly tight, which keeps loose items from smashing around too much (and also prevents overstuffing, sadly). The miscellaneous open pockets around the exterior of the bag are completely useless for anything that one does not wish to lose, but they look pretty cool and add to the overall aesthetic superiority of this tool bag. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to invest a little extra for a cool logo; it's also a suitable option for those who appreciate the utility of a well-designed tool bag.
