Bryan as a former electrician I can attest that Klein tools are as good as it gets. I still have and use the Klein tools that I bought in 1982. That bag may be a little pricey but when you figure how many years of use you will get out of it, not so pricey. Thanks for sharing.
I know Klein’s demographics is for hard-working construction professionals and they may not like this but I ordered the 12” bag to use as a purse. If they made purses then the construction folks could have their bag back. But for now, I think it is fashionable and functional. It is unique. Perfect for CCW and a range bag without looking tactical. Plus the cost is way less than 5.11 or Coach. Bryan, you can delete this post if you think Klein won’t appreciate the unapproved use of the bag. I am still ordering it though.
Debra Nobles HE WOUNT DELETE IT. THAT IS REALLY A GREAT WAY OF USING THAT BAG. I'VE USED MINE FOR YEAR'S. I WOULD NEVER THOUGHT OF USING THAT FOR MY WIFE. THANK YOU FOR THAT TIP. PEACE & SAFE JOURNEYS TO YOU.
I came home one day last year and found a Klein bag FULL of vintage tools that my old man got for me somewhere. When I opened it up, man was I a happy camper with what I had in there (bit braces, bits, all vintage old school stuff). The bag alone would've been enough of a treat.
I have two Klein bags. My husband and fatter were electricians and they had them. I'm rough on my stuff and needed bags that weren't going to fall apart on me. I have the 12 and 24, and use both as a handbag and overnight bag respectively. They are long lasting, heavy duty bags. They are worth every penny. I have women stop me all of the time wanting to know where I got my bag?
Could be a large first aid kit bag for the home or basecamp. I like the pockets inside. Not the handyman that you are, but I do have a pair of Klien lineman pliers that set me back $50 and have been worth every penny!
Yep, Got one, um, I think thirty years ago, looks about the same as when I got it. Used it for drywall finishing tools. Could be used for anything. Solid product, looks cool too.
We use such bags for tools and two for load ratchet straps combined with tools. Straps are heavier than people realize when there are several dozen. Then we also use a very large canvas bag to carry firewood. Best way to move firewood when one can't utilize a cart or dolly.
Agree.. Awesome bag. Currently use one, over 10 yrs. Only issue, one rivet on the shoulder strap D ring separated from the leather. Approximately 30# in it at all times.
Had one of those for 20yrs with a leather bottom that carried my drywall fininshing tools. Loved it . Concrete guys use them also to carry there tools.
Thanks for the video. I needed an idea for my brother’s 60th birthday. This would be great for him. I’ll look up some of your other gift ideas and put them in the bad.
I’ve got a Kodiak Canvas Tent and this would be a great bag for stakes, hammer hatchet, line and some camp tool necessities. You didn’t mention what a great “Gray Man” get home bag this would be. Sidearm, ammo food shelter, battery pack. I think I could do 2 days out of this bag.

Back in the day I had one and my son has it now.. so they are good... HOWEVER, as a plumber you know that most plumbers use a five gallon bucket - as well as concert finishers, electricians, etc. Maybe you should review five gallon buckets. Lol Back in the 70's I worked during the summer I worked as a plumber's helper while in college. Honestly, I never saw a Klein bag until in the mid 80's... people tried them but always went back to five gallon buckets. They last forever because they don't get used.... Just ssying....
Awesome video as always, I still have my Kline bag just like yours, I bought it back in 03, it’s full of dirt but no tears or holes. One question for you, what kind of knife was that? Thanks
My father just before he passed away 20 years ago had a desert water bag made of very thick canvas which he swore he had made water proof by just getting it very soaked and let it dry in the sun. The fibers shrunk and tightened up so much it repelled water! One way to go is get fresh beeswax or clear candle wax and rub it in - then use a hair dryer on high and melt the wax into the fabric - this can change the color but it is for sure water proof. Scotchguard works but you have to apply it several times.
plastic aint replaced copper altogether except for waist systems you buy preformed copper joints now but back in the day we used to flare the end to make one which we still do for refrigaration horse hair was for steal joints with boss red or white get plastic fittings for lead now as some mains in to house are still lead and need to run new pipes
Love your show and your reviews, however I have to disagree about Klein tools. I’m a journeyman electrician. Starting my career I bought Klein because I was told they are the best. Over the years I’ve become very wary of their quality. I had roto splits from them, both failed. Two demo screwdrivers, first on the handle broke on the first day of use. Only got the second one because the first was under warranty. The second one broke within about a week. I bought their tool bags, didn’t last a year. Ive had numerous strippers from them, they all fail at the pivot point. I’ve seen a lot of my fellow coworkers, have the same issues! I believe back in the day they where a good quality tool, however I think they cut corners now to make a buck. Side note, I won a similar Klein bag a few years, bottom is not leather, handle fell off. I will say that the linesman are too notch.

I completely agree. BTW, when I started plumbing they told me that an electrician was just a plumber with his brains knocked out ;-) Just kidding.

Debra Nobles Awesome 👏👍✌️😉
If I was a single man, I would be immediately attacked to a Lady with a Klein purse.
I had an old one from an antique shop as a traveling bag

How cool is that?
Thanks Brian! What a great bag. Thanks for showing us something out of the box. Love canvas and leather bags.
I thought it was too cool to miss
i am an electrican for many years this is a great idea who would have thought!!!
The ability to customize it with your name would be a great thing on a busy crowded job site.

Great Review. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

Hey-
Haven't seen that MI pin anywhere for a lot of years. I was a 05H trained at Ft. Devens. ATB to you!
18 inch bag is $80 and 24 inch bag is $86 currently on Amazon. Looks like a good deal!
Thanks for the video and review.
Cool
24 is the win
The Klein 5139 zippered bag is cool too.
yep
Looks like it would be an excellent gray man satchel bag. I remember my first klein tools. Still have them forty years later.
Good stuff

Definitely cool looking
They got a 24inch model also
Cool
Looks like I could use one for my off road tool bag to throw in my JK Wrangler !
That would work

LOVE Klein Bags!! Still have my canvas pouch and only dirty, no holes plus zipper works. 15 years old and I carry open end wrenches in there.
Good stuff
What's the best way to wash af clean these?
I have that bag. Mother-in-law gave it to me. Love it.
Cool
Klein makes quality tools. I've never had one of their bags but have seen many on job sites. Great plumbers bag.
or any trade
If I hire an electrician I gotta know that they have Klein tools in their bag or box or I don’t consider them to be a good electrician

All true
Very nice bag. I'll be replacing my fencing tool bag soon. This may work.
I bet it would.
Is that 18 inch?
Yes the size is always coded on the product code on the bag
i use Klein tools everyday for 20+ years
cool
I was a cable guy I had a small bag and some zipper types lots of years of hard work
Larry the Cable Guy ?

So true!
I use a taller bucket with a rope handle and a pad on top of the lid works great
very nice bag .i like it
me too
Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching.
Awesome video as always, I still have my Kline bag just like yours, I bought it back in 03, it’s full of dirt but no tears or holes.
One question for you, what kind of knife was that? Thanks
This one: ua-cam.com/video/rct74cVV9zI/v-deo.html
I think it’s a cool bag.....
Me too
What size is that?
The biggest one. 18"
That would be great to hold knife sharpeners and related items. I've accumulated quite a few over the years. I'm sure many of us have.
Or almost anything else
AI have one just like it I keep my telephone installation tools in it. Like you say it is rock solid!
Good to hear
Good place to store an extra sail needle or 3
Or 100
@@SurvivalOnPurpose And Mark my husband wants one so you may need that many to sew one up😂
Excellent Klein bag - do they happen to be water proof?
Probably not but fairly water resistant due to the weight of the canvas. Scotchguard ?

Wtf I thought he was going to take tools out not cloths 😂😂
👍👍👍👍👍

30yrs then you must rember horse hair joints and making your own copper joints nowdays its all plastic and cheep good ramble
We still use copper. Not much lead
plastic aint replaced copper altogether except for waist systems you buy preformed copper joints now but back in the day we used to flare the end to make one which we still do for refrigaration horse hair was for steal joints with boss red or white get plastic fittings for lead now as some mains in to house are still lead and need to run new pipes
So everything but tools lol
I kind of figured that went without saying

Yeah ever since Klein move their Factory to Mexico the quality has definitely gone downhill
