Solid and Spacious
Customer Rating: 
I will be using this bag for toting around stuff I use in finding old surveyors' marks.
The bag is roomy. The center portion is divided in thirds. The two side portions are further subdivided into flexible "pockets," while the center part is open. The center part is 6.5" deep (sitting on top of the lower compartment which can house the plastic odds-and-ends case; that compartment is an additional 2.5" deep). The open center compartment holds my camera and a large pair of gloves.
I uploaded a couple of photos of my bag packed full. Those orange stakes stuck into it are 11" tall. I don't carry "normal" tools (pliers, small screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.), but it does a fine job of holding my tape measures, my laser measurement tool, my GPS, clippers, etc. I also like the zippered pocket that covers one side--good for holding my notebook and datasheets.
I also tried out their Model 1509 tool bag, which is much more shallow (almost like a bike messenger's bag). The 1509 zips closed and would be better at carrying papers, but lacks the ability to carry larger items (for example, a good sized power tool).
The handle is very sturdy, and the shoulder strap (fully extended) can be slung over my neck and shoulder for "hands-free" transit. The big d-rings at the handle can serve as attach points for things with cords or straps.
