FAQs
Is this bag suitable for carrying my personal safety equipment (PPE)?
No, this tool bag is explicitly not suitable for personal safety (PPE) or fall protection. It is designed for carrying tools and accessories, not for protecting a person.
Can I use the shoulder strap when working at heights?
No, the removable shoulder strap is only for comfortable transport to and from the work area. It must not be used while working at heights for safety reasons.
What is the maximum weight this bag can safely hold?
The bag is independently certified and reliably loadable up to a maximum weight of 15 kg.
How many D-rings are available for attaching tools?
There are 11 steel D-rings in total: 8 are designated for attaching tethered tools, and 3 are for attaching the bag itself to climbing equipment.
Is the bag waterproof?
The bag is described as dirt and splash-proof due to its rubberised interior, but it is not fully waterproof. It offers protection against light moisture and dirt.
What are the external clips for?
The two external metal retaining clips are designed for securing cordless power tools, such as impact drivers or drills, allowing for quick access and secure transport without needing to open the main compartment.
Can the bag be easily labelled?
Yes, the multifunctional lid features a hook-and-loop patch, allowing for individual labelling of the bag.
Troubleshooting
Bag feels heavier than expected.
Verify the weight of the tools and items placed inside. Ensure you are not exceeding the 15 kg maximum load capacity. Check if any tools have accumulated moisture, adding unexpected weight.
Tools are difficult to secure to D-rings.
Ensure you are using appropriate tethers and lanyards designed for tool attachment. Check that the D-rings are free of debris. Use lanyards with compatible connectors.
Compartment zippers are stiff or catching.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation.
Bag is not standing upright on the ground.
Ensure the plastic-reinforced base plate is intact and the five rubber feet are present and functional. Distribute weight evenly within the bag, placing heavier items towards the base.
