Custom Leathercraft 1528 Review by Steve D.

About Me: I work on a little bit of everything, home remodeling, electrical, plumbing, appliances, security systems, surveillance systems, so my favorite, gotta have tools run the gamut. My old bag was a smaller AWP of similar style.

About this bag...

First off, I just got it and loaded it up so my opinion will change as time goes on. What follows are just my initial impressions.

Pros: Nice bag. Nice construction. Looks like it will last for years. You can cram a lot of stuff in this bag. The small parts box in the bottom is a nice touch and will come in handy. Looks impressive when fully loaded.

Cons: I think they really missed the boat on how they laid out the tool storage. There are no loops for storing screw drivers and nut drivers so you either have to cram them all into one of the large inside pockets or split them up one or two to a pocket in the outside pockets. Some of the outside pockets are so deep, you can't use them for most tools so they are limited to longer tools like channel-locks or linesman pliers. Pockets for regular sized hand tools (pliers, needle-nose etc.) are also in short supply. I don't like putting more than one tool in a pocket. The zippered pocket/mesh pocket on the one end is too small. Should have been more pouch like in order to make it more crammable (is that a word?).

I'll keep it, but I'm sure I'll have to add a few "after-market" customizations to make it work for me. I uploaded some pics to give you a better idea. They sure left a little to be desired in that area. All-in-all, would I buy it again? Yes.

Custom Leathercraft 1528 Review by padgman

The bag was better than I expected. Only had it one week, but every tool I usually carry fit in the bag with room to spare. Even had room for my Rigid Cordless Drill, extra battery, and charger in the middle section. The parts container in the bottom has more then enough room for all my little parts and pieces I use. Highly recommend this bag. Have not had it long enough though to know about the rods working their way out the bottom like some of the other reviews.

Custom Leathercraft 1528 Review by R. Eldredge "Blacked-out barbecuer" (Cape Cod ,Ma)

My first bag from this company lasted 2 years and finally wore out ,Excellent tool bag I am a service plumber and I need a real bag to carry real tools. This is my second bag the exact same style and company CLC. The first was GREAT! The 2nd one I purchased had changed and for the worse. They added these steel dowels into the handles and into the bad vertically in all 4 corners. ALL the dowels have come out and before i knew this i scratched a customer's floor. The bag is very uncomfortable to carry..Trust me I carry this a lot all day. The sides have collapsed even with the steel dowels. The old one never had this in it. Just another example of messing up something that is aleady good. I am now trying to return this product either for an exchange or a refund. This is a $30 bag. That is not cheap. Home Depot has the same style for $20 with an additional larger bag. I liked this one and bought another . If Amazon or the company does nothing then I will buy 2 cheap ones instead of this company's now marginal product. A lot of you are probably saying this guy is just a complainer. I buy all quality tools and am a professional. I think companies need to be accountable and a lot are NOT!!!! Thanks for listening.. Good luck with your bag If you use it light duty then maybe it will not be a problem but if this company wants to hang with pros then they better man up.. I returned the bag and they were VERY Good about the return. I hate to say this but I prchased a 2 bag combo from Home depot and it was $20 (I thought I would be throwing it away in 6 months) it is still doing well . It is not as heavy duty as the CLC one but it is still in great shape . Thanks for listening and hope this helps
