leather tool bag for maintenance work?

[bsaint]

I am looking for a leather tool bag but I notice most cater to electricians. Would these also make decent general maintenance bags?

I suppose it all depends how many/what kinds of tools you need to carry.
Take a look at Occidental Leather Products, they make some nice stuff.

Does it have to be leather? What size? I do vehicle electronics installs on the road and I use this one butthe 16" it is 29.99. For some reason it isnot on the site. http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hard...splay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051

I have one that I used back in the 1980s as a factory rep for an electronics company. It could be filled with different tools but there are limitations. I haven't found another since.

The only real benefit to it was that it gave customers confidence that I knew what I was doing in the medical field of electronics, at least that was the intent I'm sure. It originally belonged to the company. So for practicality, a canvas bag would work as well. I recent bought a couple of Xcelite's bags.

I like that xcelite bag. I also like a shoulder strap. I have found the Husky tool bags to be better than most out there

I keep all the same tools robot technicians would have.

I think its between the Tuff-Tote 35-975 from Ideal or the Occidental 5585.

How do they like it? Its WAY cheaper than the others makes me wonder if those are overpriced or if this isnt as good.
