Tool Backpacks

A good craftsman - electrician, installer, locksmith - can be distinguished by a number of signs. He is always collected, neat, attentive to wishes, executive. An indispensable attribute of the master is the tool.

As you know, they are greeted by their clothes. When calling the master, always pay attention to what he came in. It is clear that he can come for diagnostics and repairs in his work clothes. Pay attention to what he came with, how he will diagnose a breakdown or determine the scope of work. If he does not have a tool with him to unscrew something, then the question arises, how will he then repair. If a person is engaged in something professionally, most likely, he has the necessary tools and universal consumables. This is what creates the first impression of the master as a specialist.

And if you are this master, then you should think about how to create a first good impression and be fully armed when visiting a client. Image, even if you are a repairman, is everything. It is pleasant to work with a prepared and neat person. Today I propose to talk about the storage and transportation of tools, or rather tool backpacks.

Manufacturers today offer a huge selection of backpacks for a wide variety of needs. Tool backpacks are very handy. They are easy to carry, you can climb with them, and also have the necessary set of tools at hand.

Almost all of them are water-repellent, which is very important when working outdoors. They are made of rather tough fabric, but this is necessary for their durability. They have a hard and waterproof bottom made of rubberized plastic, which ensures stability and waterproofness, because the master can put it on the ground and calmly carry out the necessary work. Outside, most models have sling loops that allow you to attach additional pouches if necessary. As a rule, these backpacks are large in size and have many pockets for various small parts and tools - a flashlight, relay, tape measure and similar trifles.

Professional tool backpacks are usually rated up to 20 kg. They have wide adjustable shoulder straps and an anatomical back for extended wear. Construction backpacks are the most durable, as they are designed for heavy weights, they have more pockets and compartments. There are also models on wheels for a more comfortable ride with them at maximum load. As for the color scheme, it can be either black and gray, or red, blue, combined.

It is worth taking a closer look at several models from well-known manufacturers in order to determine the criteria by which the master will select a backpack for himself.

One of the most popular is the model of this company for 37 pockets. This backpack is made of polyester, which gives it durability. It has three compartments and a wide bottom for stability.The bottom is made of waterproof plastic to keep out water and dirt. The materials are easy to clean. A feature of this model that distinguishes it from the rest is its ability to load up to 65 kg of tools, while its own weight is 1.6 kg.

This model is available in several colors, but the most popular is black and red. The backpack has a compartment for a laptop and accessories. Multiple pockets make it easy to carry a large number of tools and consumables. For all its advantages, it has a relatively low price - about 4000 rubles, which fully corresponds to its quality and durability.

This model is the most popular. A distinctive feature is the number of pockets - there are 50 of them. The backpack is made of high strength nylon, has wide adjustable shoulder straps, and a separate compartment for a laptop. The wide waterproof one makes it stable. Rigid shape and tailoring make it possible to open the compartments very wide, to use the backpack as a horizontally laid out set of tools.

Inside, it is trimmed with an elastic band that allows you to hold many tools. The backpack can be opened from either side thanks to two locks. It looks like a regular backpack, so you can easily go on a trip with it. It fully justifies its price, judging by customer reviews. It costs about 5,000 rubles.

This model is often referred to among users as an installer's backpack. It is one of the most popular models, looks stylish and is very convenient to use. With such a backpack, you can not only work, but also go on a hike or go on a trip, while giving up a suitcase that takes up your hands. This backpack is made of waterproof polyester, a fairly tough material. It has loops made of slings, so you can hang additional pouches to it.

Compared to other models, it has few pockets - only 19 pieces. Two deep side pockets store your essentials. It has a stitched elastic band in the front compartment for vertical storage of screwdrivers and keys, and a small transparent business card pocket. Despite its relatively small size, it has a fairly good capacity. The weight of the backpack itself is about 1800 g. Basically, it is produced in black and gray and costs about 3500 rubles in online stores.

I advise you to buy this model for those who need a durable backpack with the necessary pockets and compartments, but in the middle price category. This model was made of textiles, but using modern technologies. It is very stable and also has a waterproof bottom. It costs an average of 2,000 rubles.

The transforming bag from the Russian manufacturer "Zubr" is in the budget price category, it costs about 1,500 rubles. It is made of textiles, very roomy and durable. This model is produced according to modern technologies, has a durable waterproof bottom and 17 pockets. You can carry the bag using two small handles or using a shoulder strap. The only drawback would be that it is a bag and not a backpack. Therefore, before buying, you should think about whether it will be convenient to wear it and carry out repairs with it. For high-altitude work, for example, it is definitely not suitable.

It should be understood when choosing a backpack for the tool that the model must be stable, have the required number of pockets and a wide bottom. The design and color can be chosen according to your taste; today they are presented in large quantities. Imagine what you want to carry in your backpack and how much space you need for small things.

Based on this, decide what is more important for you - the number of pockets, or, conversely, several spacious compartments with a small number of pockets. And feel free to make a choice based on the specified criteria.
