Fox OutdoorProducts Jumbo Mechanic's Tool Bag

Nice

The bag itself seems very well made and nice quality. However, the color is AWFUL. It is not a traditional OD Green, noot even sure what to call this color. I like the fact that the back has a stiff insert in the bottom so it retains its shape with heavy tools. I bought it to store my jack in my HMMWV.

I bought this for my husband to use for work. As a woodworker, he carries a fair amount of tools from home and back, and I wanted something that would hold up under prolonged heavy use. The fabric and zipper of the bag are fantastic for that purpose — very durable, and look/function great even after months of use.Where the bag falls short is its dimensions and structure — if you're looking to use this as a tool bag, you might look elsewhere for something with more conventional dimensions and structure. It's smaller than expected, as well as long and narrow, which affects the kind/amount of tools you can place in it; my husband says he can fit, at maximum, 2 drills, a hammer, 2 bit cases, and a drill charger.Because of the canvas-y material, it doesn't hold its shape very well, causing the walls of the bag to slump when opened or empty or to bulge when filled. This is fine so long as you aren't expecting the bag to retain its shape or stay conveniently open the whole time. The structure and dimensions of this bag also mean that, when the bag is full, the pockets on the sides of the bag are rendered pretty much unusable for anything other than very small items.So if you're looking for a good looking, durable bag, this bag is awesome, especially for the price! However, if you're like so many of the others here looking to use this bag as a tool bag, I'd suggest you consider the size and amount of tools you use. And when estimating the proportions of the bag, err on the side of small.

When I ordered this bag I thought it would be a bit smaller, the dimensions are clearly posted so it was no fault of the seller. After looking at it for a couple days I started to put my networking tools in the bag, the things I use to test and troubleshoot computer networks. The bag worked out to be just right. It is a tuff bag, well built. I wold purchase another.My only negative comment would be that the outside pockets are not well done..they could have a pleat in the bottom so the there is a bit more room to actually put something inside. The pocket is long enough that it needs another button in the center to hold that flap closed better. I also found all the inside pockets to be far to small, they couldn't hold much more then a pen or pencil but are to short for that, it would have been nice if they were much bigger so you could put little tools in them. Even a divider inside would be nice to help keep things from rolling around.Over all a good bag for tools and odds and ends.

I purchased this bag to hold large tools for work. Each job is different, sometimes small electrical tools, other times larger tools for mechanical and hydraulic work. I needed a bag that can hold some weight, long enough to hold some long wrenches, 1/2 to 1” drive socket sets, etc. I also needed one that will lay flat under my service cart. This bag so far is perfect. Well built, strong and easily folds away. If you need a bag that can hold some weight and hold up to abuse, this is the one.

A+

Using for an Archaeological dig kit

This is my 4th mechanic jumbo bag. I think 2 were Rothco and 2 were Fox. Honestly, besides the colour of the cases, I can't tell the difference. They are all super tough, built out of a canvas type material that feels like this bag could hold 60 lbs no problem. I use them to store tools and recovery gear in my 4runner. They are very well made, and cheap, so they make perfect bags for recovery rope, tow straps, snatch blocks, etc. One has all my wrenches and hand tools in. One has all my survival equipment in. Highly recommend.
