I found them to be the most comfortable in a group of competitors’ tool bags loaded with the same tools, despite the Husky weighing 7 pounds unloaded (compared to the other bags weighing roughly 2 to 3 pounds). The Husky tool bag’s top-mounted handles are well-designed. Photo: Tom Scalisi Handles Are Well-Designed but Minimal Once open, the bag’s design allows the center compartment to stay open, so I could see into the bag to reach in and grab a tool with one hand. The smoothness of the zipper makes it easy to open the bag with just one hand, though it did require both of my hands to zip it shut. The zipper has two sliders with nylon pull cords, and they can meet in the middle or operate from one side, according to user preference (I found that positioning them in the middle was best). It’s also worth noting that the Husky tool bag’s main compartment features a zipper closure. Coupled with the smooth-rolling wheels, this bag makes it over rougher terrain with ease. I felt that the handle was sturdy, it extended and collapsed smoothly, and there wasn’t any two-handed fidgeting as there can be with some cheaper models. To help conveniently offset the massive payload, the Husky tool bag provides a telescoping handle and a set of wheels. One hundred pounds of weight is an onerous burden to carry from the shop to the truck or even just from room to room.

Typically, I’d be concerned with the weight of loading that many tools into a bag. This center compartment can also hold several long-handled hammers, a few speed squares, a drill driver, an impact driver or hammer drill, and even a spare battery or two. Other than some of my longer tools like pry bars and handsaws, it held just about every hand tool imaginable for a DIY kit, as well as most power tools. I found that one downside is that the pockets are all a general uniform size, so there are no obvious slots for screwdrivers, pencils, or other smaller tools. I liked that the pockets themselves are deep and will hold tools securely, and the front hook-and-loop closure pocket is perfect for smaller bits and drivers. This bag boasts 18 places to store hand tools, from the large center compartment to the pockets inside the bag to the pockets around the outside. This bag measures 18 inches long, 11 inches wide, and 14 inches deep, offering much more space than almost any other tool bag on the market. The Husky tool bag’s biggest strength is its payload and ability to fit nearly every necessary tool inside.
