Had one of those ck technician bags but it was a nuisance went back to my fatmax bag. I liked all the pocets for drivers and snips but everything else was a nuiscence in the middle of the bag the fat max gives me more room for rummaging.

I have the facom tote bag, I leave it in the van and have gone back to my bucket with my most used screw drivers, pliers etc in a tool belt in the bucket. Can't fault it

I have the Facom 20" tote bag and love it. Until one of the side rails snapped after 14 months that is. Both wholesaler and Facom say 12 months warranty only and I really CBA to argue.
Great in every other way though.

I was looking for pictures of it loaded out. Nevermind.

Andy's bag started to disintegrate years ago. More likely to have been thrown out, than loaded out.

I cant believe you got a disagree for posting that photo because the toolbox was empty

Anyway, is it available in a slightly lighter colour?

It was my own fault - I should have understood the specific request, despite it not having been made or even implied.

I used to have this 20 inch Facom, the only problem is it was so big I always overfilled it - carrying things like big spanners for large SWA glands and mutiple crimp tools that were only needed rarely. I sometimes felt like apologising carrying it upstairs when all I was there for was to change a light switch.

Eventually, due to shoulder strain, I bought the 14 inch version, which means I can't put too much in, and like it much better. The shoulder recovered after a few months as well.

The only thing I've found to fail after a while are one or two of the internal straps that hold tools in place.

That’s the one I was looking at the 14” version. It looks a good size and probably a little more better build quality than the CK Magma Tote. I did look at a colleagues Veto TP XXL but on Min Wage I couldn’t justify that much on a bag £180. It’s lovely and very well made and organised.
