that's the magma version. it's similar but more robust, better quality. got the same one myself. only gripe i have is that my irazola drivers are too long to fit.Hmm, I think I got wrong info, I was told it had been discontinued but I see it's changed colour, mine is navy blue. Did they change anything else or just the colour?
Hmm 4 times the cost, think I will stick to the Magma ones for now. Thats a massive outlay for something to carry tools in lol

You should see the price Tidyboiler pays for bags to carry her war paint, filofax, I-pad jemmy and all her other junk around in - it's eye watering!!!
I don't think a wheel along tool case will work, I do a lot of walking off-road to remote pump installations etc.I use a roll along Peli case, extendable handle like a flight case, just been to Paris with it on a job and went via Eurostar and metro performed great and it's totally waterproof and can be put straight into hold luggage if need be.
I don't think a 'tote' type bag will work either, my laptop and testers will be bouncing around with my handtools.I use this one and have found it very good.....View attachment 23628
WOW £239.95!!!! If I win the lottery it might be an option. Until then unfortunately not I'm afraid.What about a case on wheels? Had mine for 7 years and it's still going strong.

with the magma. it's great if you use the centre compartment for lappy and paperwork, bit if you load it up with hand tools, you end up emptying it out to find what you want.
I tend to use the centre compartment for multicompartment boxes of cable markers, ferrules etc., helps stop the lids getting broken. I hate having to dig out thousands of loose cable markers and sort into a new box!
Funny you should mention this as I was going to ask on the forum but I too use the magma bag as a service engineer its ideal and I am looking for a multi compartment box to go in the centre compartment to hold connectors, fuses, resistors etc.. What do you use or recommend?
Thanks
These boxes from Raaco are really good, but a very silly price. I bought a load some years ago when RS were selling some sort of special offer version in yellow (but still made by Raaco) for about £10. Very robust; body is polypropylene, and the clear lid is polycarbonate.

Ive used several Raaco carry-lites for about 4 years, all the trays are customisable dependent on what's parts you carry etc. Best ones I've used and still in great condition after being used on site 5-6 days a week. Would definitely recommend!
Well thanks for all the great advice, I've learned a lot about tool bags and cases and totes since starting this thread.
Given the options and the prices I'm probably going to go for the CK case again with the rubberised base which is the one I originally thought was no longer available but it appears that it's just changed colour and been renamed. With the CK Magme I can afford to buy 2 or 3 of them which will last me probably 8 or 9 years for the same price of one of the more expensive Veto bags. My old Navy Blue CK tool case has worked well for me so if the Magma is the same then I have no problem sticking with what I'm familiar with.
