Ridgid Tool bags any one got one?

[fitter638nyc]

was in the Homey Depot the other day and was looking at tool bags. I drive my g/f crazy with this b/c I can never find a tool bag I like or can fit all the crap I crap with me any way I was looking a the ridgid tool bag a bit on the high priced side at 69.99. If any one has one let me know if you like. Thanks John

Everybody that works for me has one including myself, it's an awesome bag, nothing falls out, lot's of compartments.

The only downside is that you can put so much stuff in it the weight can be a problem.

I have a large 'tool bag' similar to the Ridgid (lots of pockets) and it WILL get heavy...

Soon you will be looking for a second one to split up the first one. So you can carry it again!!

Whoa there partner......... I was guessing you would be carrying TOOLS in that bag. You even mention you drive your G/F crazy with your crap........ Where do you live that they don't got no toilets?
Suggestion. Crap in toilet. Tools in bag. Girlfriend and everybody else around you happy.



LOL! I'll have to check um out.

I wish Ridgid made trucks. My whole fleet would be Ridgid trucks. I like every thing Ridgid makes.

Home Cheapo. They just bought the name.

Home Depot sells all of Ridgids' factory seconds.

I like that GateMouth brand. I added a shoulder strap to the Mini-GateMouth and use it every day. Lots of external pockets.

A lot of guys I work with use that square bucket-shaped bag, and swear by it.

Heres a great back pack tool pack. Holds a lot and fits on your back.

I got one of the Ridgid bags for Christmas & used it for about a month.
It leans to one side even with the weight evenly distributed on both sides.
It is now sitting in my basement collecting dust.
IMHO don't waste your money on it,you can get the Bucket Boss extreme gatemouth open face bag for around thirty bucks.
It is what I have been running service out of & it works great.

I have been using the Rigid Job Max bag since just after Christmas.
I love the bag, but the durability leaves a lot to be desired. Within a couple of weeks of getting it, one of the outer corner seams split, so it started tilting to one side. Now both corner seams on the same side are split, and it just falls over usually.
It has a 3 year warranty, so I'm gona turn it in for a new one. I have an idea for how to keep it from breaking again.

Since so much can be neetly stored in it, it does tend to get very heavy.

5 gallon bucket with a bucket boss...$15 investment. A tool bag, chair and trash can all in one. I've spent $15 to $100 on different types and settled in on this one...I'm just waiting for the 10 gallon version so I can carry a tv and a cot with me...

Yep! I did the same, Mini Gatemouth plus a shoulder strap. I made a shoulder strap out of some nylon webbing and a couple of large snap hooks. Sometimes I remove the strap and use it to lug larger parts, motors for example, up a ladder. My boss gives me a hard time because he claims it is too small, but the bag he carrys is huge! I would not be able to lift it if it was full of tools! The mini is lust large enough to carry the tools I use regularly, if I need more tools, I make a second trip.
