Let's talk about tool bags
In this episode, we're talking about the evolution of my tool carry setup. From working out of a massive Toughbuilt bag to trying out the tool vest, and finally settling on the open bag I use today.
Finding the right tool bag is a journey. I'll break down why I switched from a heavy load-out to a lighter, more efficient setup, and why wearing a tool vest eventually hurt more than it helped. If you're a handyman or DIYer trying to figure out your daily carry, hopefully, my mistakes can save you some money (and back pain).
