  • New handbag arrived, @Airhead you were right - it is bigger than it looks in the photos. Will try it out for a bit. Reckon I might end up getting something with a hard base as it’ll spend most of its life set down on dirty/wet floors, but it deffo solves the issue of decanting this exact set of tools from toolbox to trouser holster pocket every day.

    And as you predicted, I’ll probably buy the smaller one, and maybe the bumbag too.

  • You'll soon have that full to the brim!

    I do still look at the expensive ones but they are a lot more money. The bumbag is great because you don't have to put it down on the floor. Not so useful if you have to lay down though.

  • This is my new most favoritist thing in the world. My "EDC" work kit (there is usually a leathherman tucked in there too but I had to send that to the distributor as it broke and I'm waiting for its replacement. Hammer loop has a guage that lets me hook my drill / impact onto it (it will actually hold both but gets v. heavy).

    When I finish work I take it off and put it in the armrest of my pickup along with my tape. This means that I don't have the embarrassing prospect of turning up at work with tools that I rely on which I found happend a lot using the silly oversized pockets on work trousers it also means I don't accidentally put my pencils / knives / screwdrivers / pliers in the wash.

    Occidental leather works product so it ain't cheap (~ £50) but the build quality and the quality of the leather it's made from makes me confident it will outlast me.
