The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Tool Chest Gift Ideas: Tool Bag - Made in the US

Happy Holidays!

I'm shopping for a gift for my mother. Has anyone seen any high quality tool bags worth mentioning? She needs something small for projects around the house.

Klein, Not sure if they're US made (I'd guess so) and they are very nice.

I have a nice "riggers bag" from Duluth trading, US made I think, but they don't offer the same thing any more and what they do have is imported.

Here's a great option, a good friend of ours makes these bags just an hour and a half down the road. I'm sure you can have exactly what you want made if she dosen't have it listed.

I have a few chisel rolls myself and have seen many examples of her work first hand, they're nice and quite sturdy.

The local Lowes and Home Depot have a decent selection. I put them through the riggers of my job and they seem to hold up.

i actually bought my mother a little toolbox with the basics in it many years ago. she still has it and uses it all the time. i know she loves it because she has bought about the same thing for other people throughout the years. there very handy. MO

My friend has what she calls a tool box in her condo. A small plastic box with a VISA card in it!
Home Depot had a nice small Husky-brand bag with about 11 side pockets on special for about $12. Saw it a few times and procrastinated about buying one. When I did go back they were sold out. Seems they were a special order and not on their web site either.
