Now that I'm the Proud owner of a new tool bag, thanks to tool-rank.com I thought I would memorialize my old tool storage system which consisted of an rubber maid tough-tote called Bubba Box

Rubbermaid Tough Tote

This box contained a smaller box and a Bosch PS40 impact driver and a couple of other assorted tools

What's Inside Bubba Box

This box was what I would take on the job first, whether it was an estimate or a small job, or getting started on a bigger project. It contains a fairly basic assortment of tools that enable me to assess,perform minor exploratory demolition,and complete most small jobs.

Now that I have a awesome new tool bag that I'll now refer to as my First Strike Bag

Veto Pro-Pac

That easily held most of the tools from my Bubba Box.

I'll now work with it a while to further it's load out,and develop an idea as to it's usefulness. It will not easily hold my PS40 or large speed square, but it does have room left for additional small tools, which I look forward to trying to fit in. Look for my review in the not to distant future.

It didn't take long for you to fill it up. How much does it weight now?

Not Full

It's not full yet! I just put some more pliers and a couple of box wrenches in it. I'm guessing it weighs 35-40 pounds. It carries the weight well.

Not for anything approaching a normal 8 1/2 x 11 manual. you may fit one of the smaller 1/4 page manuals into the larger of the outside pockets. I was looking on the Veto website and they have portable office bag that has a compartment for a laptop that would probably work for you if you have a lot of paperwork/manuals to deal with.
I'm already looking at another one of their bags, the XXL-F with the hopes of eliminating another tool box. These bags carry much nicer than your average toolbox, especially when you have to navigate doorways and other confined spaces as they are not as wide and come with a shoulder strap. They are also a lot more forgiving when you do hit something, being softer than a tool box.
