Canvas Tool Bag Makes Good Weekend Tote

Often times the best travel tools are those that have been designed for some other purpose.  They are usually practical, have been tested thoroughly, and are often more reasonably priced that specialize travel products that do the same thing.

That’s what I think about the Canvas Tool Bag from Klein Products.  Klein has been around for over 150 years, originally making pliers, and now selling a broad product line for the construction, electronics, and mining industry.  They make things that will stand up to hard use and last.

Their Canvas Tool Bag comes in a heavy duty #8 natural canvas, with a moisture resistant vinyl bottom and lower sides.  This baby is durable enough to carry tools – and tools are heavy.  Along with those heavy duty features, some nice touches include a nice wide opening (all the better to pack and unpack your things), stitched and riveted leather handles and restraining straps (these babies aren’t going to rip off), and there are non-scratch studs on the base to protect against wear (and make sure that this bag doesn’t scratch anything else either).

If it’s strong enough to tote around a bunch of tools, just think how it would stay up to miles and miles of air travel. Put your laptop in a sleeve, and pack it and all your other electronics gear in the tool bag.  Or you could use it to pack for a weekend away.  It would work as a gym bag, shopping tote, or even a fun weekend bag.

The tool bag comes in varying sizes, starting at 14 inches and going up to 20 inches, and is available in fun colors of blue, orange, and yellow, as well as natural canvas.  Look for a Klein Canvas Tool Bag at your favorite online or local hardware store.  Prices start around $70.
