Thorsman technicians open tote tool bag

1shortcircuit · Jan 16, 2012

This is a neat little tool bag for anyone who's looking for something small enough to lug around as opposed to a tool belt that just seems to always knock things about.

Carries what I need on a daily basis :thumbsup

I've been looking for a second for a long time now but it seems to have been discontinued

I have found something that I believe to be identical but have to wait to confirm this when it arrives (18 quid plus postage).

I bought the Thorsman for 15 quid brand new on ebay well over a year ago and it's still going strong. Since I have learnt that these cannot be bought anymore I have been searching for one so that I have a replacement ready for when that day arrives and it's time to send Thorsman to Tool bag heaven lol

This tool bag is smaller than the similar CK or Fatmax types that you may still be seeing on the shelves :thumbsup

Hope this is of interest to someone.

Just out of interest, what make is the one you are awaiting and believe to be identical?

Well the design is identical that I can see however you guys may not appreciate the colour lol

It's the same colours used in my company logo so it doesn't bother me

Anyway, the only place I could find it was here at toucan tools. Should be with me tomorrow

This is the same item as sold on Amazon US. The reviews seem pretty sound.

Amazon.com: McGuire Nicholas 22128 8-Inch Electrician Maintenance Tote: Home Improvement

Not sure how much you are paying for P&P, but Tool Venture are doing it for £16.95 with £4.95 P&P.

Good find:thumbsup

I'll find out what the postage amount I paid was.

This definitely looks like an identical design to the one I am currently using and I must say that I've been well impressed with how practical it has been. Do to the way I am able to lay out my tools I can check before I leave a job that I have packed everything away at just a glance. I was even carrying my on-site guide, building regs and Amicus around in their at one point. It all fitted nice and snug, the only reason I removed is because I was working in some right pits at the time and didn't want my books getting messed up.

Should be receiving it this morning so i'll post up some images :thumbsup

I paid £24.50 including the postage, checked the receipt yesterday when it arrived. I'll be ordering another one as soon as. It's not as yellow as I thought, sits nicely with my Fluke tester wouldn't you agree

It is near on indentical to my Thorsman one so I am VERY happy now
