CRAFTSMANTRADESTACK Tool Bag, 22.5”, Durable Polyester, Black and Red (CMST21450)

I've been researching new tool bags for months since my husky rolling 18" handle failed to the point of inoperable. This bag came up came up randomly in my google feed after I was convinced I was going for the HT5553 but didn't pull the trigger. I started doing my research on this beauty and bought it 3 days later.After the Husky failed, I went back to my 2008 era, CLC 1539 which is still a frickin stud but just too small for my needs. I love the design of the 3 separate compartments, just not the size of the central storage or the no exterior storage where the level storage straps are. They stretched quickly and were next to worthless and so was that exterior side of the bag. I always used this bag with a folding hand truck and rubber bungee (I'm a tile setter and the tools get heavy quick) and it worked great. If the wheels or handle fail, the bag is still good. Its the reason I can use it 15 years later. In that time I have now had 2 broken Huskies rollers (18" and 22") which were never great especially for organizing. Lack of organizing leads tools left behind on jobs.This tool bag takes all of the strengths of the CLC 1539 and works off them.The side zip down compartments allow you to isolate tools and items you don't want buried at the bottom of typical roller. They both have regular pockets on the interior side of the bag and netting pockets on the exterior side. Laying out tools, wrenches, disposable gloves, glasses, pencils, markers, and a ton of others fit on ONE side compartment of this bag. The opposing zip down side has 2 larger pockets. Taller items that I have to lean go in here. Channel Locks, tin snips, carbide joint scraper. In the netting pockets: 3 way plug, 100 blade pack,Then you get exterior compartments around the whole bag. I keep red and blue chalk lines on the width sides with small refill bottles. Some taller and extraneous items in the exterior pockets: dryline spool, 35' layout tape on the clip, disposable gloves, extra cutoff and diamond wheels large zipper compartment and a couple of open pockets still. I haven't figured out what to put in them as I have so much GD space now. The only complaint of this bag is these extrerior pockets get real tight when the inner compartment is filled.The highlight of this bag is the central storage compartment. It is lined with pockets along the whole perimeter. It also has tool divider (that is also surrounded by pockets) that can be resized through heavy duty velcro and notches in the bottom plastic liner from 50/50 spacing, 75/25 or removed. It's a game changer. In the tile industry every job has metal finishing strips requiring a grinder with a cutoff wheels. I hate switching wheels back and forth from diamond to cutoff, and would rather carry 2, 4.5" Makita grinders. I have the divider moved to the 1/4 position for both grinders. The 3/4 space is where the all the big stuff and dirty smaller tools go. In the interior pockets: 3 chisels, 3 margin trowels, grout brush, wire brush, rubbing stone, and more. Main compartment: Trowels:16" steel flat trowel, 1/8 V notch, 1/4 notch, 3/8 notch, 1/2 notch. Grout float, scoop trowel, 100' tape measure, masonry hammer, 12" rafter square, 16" speed square, 7 pocket tool Pouch, dust brush. I know I'm missing stuff but I'm beat and don't feel like running out to my truck for an inventory.This bag seems to be extremely well built going off my past experiences. The stitching, zippers, grab handles, over the shoulder strap and heavy duty bottom liner all are built for durability. I'm 2 weeks into this bag and really am considering buying a second. I'm 44 with 17+ years to retirement and I think 2 of these bags should get me there. I also don't want the manufacturer realizing how much better this bag is than its peers that are typically $50 more in cost. I'll try to update a couple of months down the line.

This is a great bag and honestly the best I've had. There's plenty of storage compartments for individual tools, as well as too large internal compartments for power tools and bulky items. The integrated measuring tape holder and straps for my 2' level are great too. Bag's made out of good, sturdy materials and has a sporty look to it. Props too for the shoulder strap.

Works well, I have a 50+ lb load that I have to move from job to job. If fit easily in the box and what was in 3 boxes is now in one. My previous system fell apart after a couple of jobs. It could not handle 50+ lb over rough ground. Have not had to try out the water proofing, the workspace is indoors.

This is Craftsman's cheaper alternative to the Milwaukee Pack-Out System. I wanted a rolling tool box that I could lock.The first thing of note is that the clips on the sides of the handles break easily. I broke one on my car seat setting it in my car. I don't even know what the clip is for, but there it is.I was especially glad that it worked with my TradeStack bag. ( I think that's the name of the product line before Versa stack ). My bag clips onto the top and doesn't fall off when walking. I really like the quality of the release system.Two draw backs to this box.One is that, as it is plastic, the middle has a tendency to bulge or warp temporarily depending on what is inside it. This will cause the tray to not fit in the top and become loose. Any small items you want to keep separate, put them in a bag or small plastic box and toss the tray of you are wheeling around a lot of stuff.Secondly, and this shouldn't need to be said but it does, all this box does is keep honest people honest. I chain mine to something to keep someone from rolling it away. The hole for the lock is only big enough for a luggage lock. And the lock doesn't need to be broken. A good swing of a hammer would bust the locking area off.So if you are looking for ease of tool movement for a decent price, and you don't want someone grabbing your tools in the heat of the moment, this box will serve you well.If you are trying to secure your tools and have to worry about theft, go with a metal box.

Very happy with purchase! Plenty large enough for power tools!

There are so many tool bags out there, most of them aren't well constructed or well thought out.Although I feel like there could be improvements made to this bag I think it's pretty well executed.The bottom is rigid enough to allow the bag to handle the weight of heavier power tools, and there are plenty of pockets inside and out to fit wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, meters, etc. with a bonus spots for tape measure and level.I prefer the Milwaukee packout system, but I actually think this bag is better than anything Milwaukee offers from a bag standpoint.Has a sturdy yet comfortable shoulder pad, and the material is high grade ballistic nylon.

Great space inside, but if the inside is full, the outside pockets may not be easily usable. Can fit several things. Great for emergency toolkit for trunks. Very durable material and resistant.

As advertised great storage with wheels.

Excelente para tu herramienta esta perfecta muchos compartimientos y de muy buena calidad los materiales.

I like this bit I deeply underestimated its size. I can easily put all the gear in it that I want but then it's to heavy to comfortably carry. This in a 16 inch size would be awesome!

Nice product I liked,but I need the replacement because the handle is missing thats why I reduced star.its tool box recommended.

Es una super maleta de herramientas, materiales, calidad, espacio y muy bonita. Cupo toda la herramienta, hasta taladros inalambricos. Quizás un poco cara pero valió la pena lo pagado.

De los pocos artículos que superan mis expectativas, llegó tres días después del encargo, en caja y con una bolsa de plástico para su protección. Tiene una cantidad de pequeñas bolsas formidable, en el fondo un refuerzo de plástico muy resistente, es cómoda, cierres prácticos dobles y un lujo de detalles para guardar mis herramientas craftsman y más. Estoy muy satisfecho con este pedido.
