I know it sound stupid but every pic I see it never shows a hammer in the bag...I take it one does fit in easily when all the pockets are rammed with drivers, cutters etc?

I have a tech xl and I think it's great. There's plenty of room for a hammer laid in the bottom tray area. They are expensive but I don't regret buying it and I wouldn't go back to another bag now.
Got 3 of the normal xl and plenty of room for a hammer in those. After a backpack model next so may sell 1 which I've never used really

What are you currently using? and why are you not replacing like for like?

Tool box ATM like the one BG engineers have with two trays that stack on top of each other. Did have the facom bag like posted above but the cover started rip at the seam both sides after about 3months of having it.

When I go to elex at Sandown I think is time to have a closer look at the work bags !
for facom?

Nah the Veto, that's what I thought Andy was on about. Looking back he may of meant the facom bag :6:
the only problem i had with the facom is i filled it and you have to empty it to get anything out (ive got the whole contents of it and more from it in my facom bag in my veto)
This is what annoys me about it. Decent bag but forever emptying it and repacking it.
Cant justify a new one until it's knackered though. My boss has a veto and the quality is absolutely solid. A veto will be my next tool bag when the facom has seen it's day.
ive broken down and bought a foldable lightweight sack truck XD
pile everything on it and use bungee's
I did mean the Facom
£150 is a bit much for me. It would be a bit hypocritical of me to get myself a flouncy handbag when I won't spend that much on one for the missus !!!

Thats the problem I'm having ATM. I think the Veto will pay for itself with time saved searching for tools. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and order one now. I will order the normal one not the tech bag on your advice about fitting a hacksaw in :smilewinkgrin:

This is mine. The other two pics are of a maxpedition roll up dump pouch which I have clipped on the side which I use for rubbish when second fixing or to carry tools/bits when doing ladder work and the last one is a zip up maxpedition pouch which Ive just bought and planning on filling with handy bits, a couple of fuses long screws etc just for when you need something without making another trip to the van.
i have the mb bag too which I keep my lock off stuff and fluke t5-1000 in

I think my entire toolkit including test equipment and toolbag came to less than that.

I have the tech pack backpack and a Facom hacksaw fits in no problem. Also got the XXL-f and the MB3. Excellent bags, can see at a glance if any tools are missing before leaving site. They are expensive, but they are carrying over a grands worth of tools, so I won't to look after them. I am a bit of a tool junkie though and always getting slagged for buying new kit and my OCD keeps them tidy. The XXL-F is great for power tools and all drill bits and hole saws.
Had an XL for over 5 years and the only wear and tear is on the strap on the underside,
brilliant bag it's only downside is you will put too much stuff in it mine weighs around 26kg+ loaded but that's because I've recently been doing a lot of mechanical work hence spanners etc plus normal electrical gear
Re the hammer a claw hammer will go in upright in front of the pockets also you can fit long drivers in just!
I bought a continental type hammer from Germany recently as it's slightly smaller, which is better for the zips!
I'm thinking about getting
the MC bag as I go overseas every few months to do installs and I only take the most used items , i bought a couple of smaller bags made by Stanley and dewalt which didn't last more than two trips, plus I like tools to be organised and accessible instead of just chucked in!
Does anyone have one????
If so could you post your thoughts?
