Zippered tool bags.

400mZippered tool bags.
The bags not the zippered pouches. I have several zippered bags that have come with tools over the years.
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of different brightly colored bags while shopping on the rain forest. I do have an older, gen 1 if you will, DeWalt Tough Box system for transporting a bunch of tools but for tools around the house that have a bunch of accessories, I thought a few more zippered bags might be helpful. Especially for battery powered tools that have all sorts of bits and accessories.
Does anyone have a brand that they find useful and decent quality? I’m not looking to spend Klein tool bag money. This isn’t for the job site.

OttoSigYou can just say Amazon, not everything is cute.
My Milwaukee bags have been pretty decent, they are about the size of a decent lunchbox. But no organization of any kind.
The best bag for quality would be my Kifaru bags. Their small duffel isn’t too big but still holds quite a bit. And it can be modified for some organization. While I don’t own one, I’d imagine their little “blitz bag” would be of comparable quality for about $60. Just depends on how much you wanna spend.
The couple Klein took bags I’ve previously owned were also pretty tough. I don’t have them anymore though.

bdylanKobalt contractor bag is affordable and pretty much designed for the task you have in mind.

6gunsI have a Westward brand bag from Grainger that holds all that I need. It's handy and not overly big, but carries a lot!
Mine is an older version of this:

am94pmDepending on how often you use them, Harbor Freight has some in expensive ones around $10. I have a few that I use to keep recovery gear, mess kit, and other items in my side by side. They have held up well so far.

jimmy123xI have some Craftsman ones that I've used professionally for YEARS. They have held up well. Kobalt seems to be well built also and Harbor Freights quality has also gotten better over the years. I have so much stuff in these, they're hard to lift and haven't broken.

RRI have, and continue to be impressed with Adventure Tool Company. Very well thought out. Small operation that I met at Overland Expo years ago. The handles are seatbelt material that go under the bag and up the other side. The inside is a bright orange color to help you see inside the bag.

I've got a Bucket Boss bag for my heavy duty jumper cables and it's well-built.

400mI couldn’t remember if you didn’t like us naming Amazon or not. So I just played it safe.
Bucket boss’ are great. I’ve had them for years.

M1GarandyI have a large Bucket Boss bag, a medium-size Klein tools bag, a couple of smaller GI tool bags and another generic bag like the Klien bag but unbranded.
What I'm doing or where I am going dictate which bag I'm using.

The ones SigSentry posted above you aren't too badly priced.
If they're durable, I'd say that's reasonable, compared to spending half for something that's going to fall apart
I've got one that came with a Bosch combo, big enough for a drill & impact driver and a few bit boxes

NontypicalI have a few of these 12” Husky bags from Home Depot for $9.98 each. They also come in 15”, 18”, and 24”. They work well for a small assortment of tools that I keep in my truck. I also use them for tackle storage for the boat. Each one is for a different fish species and is stocked accordingly.

mojojojoI have several of these. Pretty much indestructible.
