Site toolbag recommendations

[tflnemesis]

Hi all,

My toolbag is starting to look a bit worse for wear, I have had it for about 5 years and it has taken a LOT of abuse.
This is my current toolbag:

It has a solid plastic bottom and sides with a big aluminium tube for a handle. The fabric is pretty hardwearing but has started to split just under the zip, so much so that smaller items fall out when the bag is tipped. It is 25" x 12" x 13".

I am hoping to replace it in the next few weeks, but, looking around on the web i can't seem to find anything that jumps out at me as being a good replacement.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I carry around 20kg of tools and other bits so it needs to be robust and have a good strap. I was looking at some with wheels which would be a great saver for my knees but the wheels all seem to be plastic and very small, no good over rough ground and would probably kill them in short order.
I would like something of a similar size or capacity I definitely don't want a rigid box as every one I have tried in the past has ended smashed and thrown in a skip.

I had a Facom totebag for a while, seemed a well made bit of kit.

I've got a ck magma one, seems well made but it doesn't get dragged around much nowadays.

I think Stanley do a FatMax one similar?

Ive got a cheapish one i got as a present a few years ago. Not maplin, but exactly the same with a different name on. I use it for woodworking/diy gear, and its been fine. Plenty of useful little compartments.

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, I have had a look at all the bags suggested but none of them seem to be big enough or able to carry 20kg.

I have seen this one http://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Metabo 657007000 4007430243713 New Large Heavy Duty Toolbag certainly looks big enough but can't find any info on weight capacity.

But mines in a galv metal bucket(hadn't seen one for a plastic bucket before)
Still got it,still all intact,you'll be surprised how much you can get in them

I have one of those and its bloody useless! The centre pocket tapers inwards and there is no room in each side zipped pocket. Once you have a row of screwdrivers and a couple of pairs of pliers, there is no room to use the other small pockets.

I have a Facom one and it easily carries more than 20kg of tools. Have had it nearly 3 years now and it suffers a good amount of abuse living in the back of my Discovery and getting hauled around the farm. Very little wear on it and if i gave it a clean would look almost like new. This is the new version of what i have http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Facom-Pro...830652?hash=item1ea184723c:g:baUAAOSwzvlW-EqB seems to be available from plenty of vendors at varying prices. There is a larger one available as well.

We mainly use Stanley Fatmax bags, had one for years and its been to all manner of sites and been abused. One of the lads has a Facom tool bag and that can carry some serious weight if needed and is very well laid out.
