I bought this for my husband to use for work. As a woodworker, he carries a fair amount of tools from home and back, and I wanted something that would hold up under prolonged heavy use. The fabric and zipper of the bag are fantastic for that purpose — very durable, and look/function great even after months of use.
Where the bag falls short is its dimensions and structure — if you're looking to use this as a tool bag, you might look elsewhere for something with more conventional dimensions and structure. It's smaller than expected, as well as long and narrow, which affects the kind/amount of tools you can place in it; my husband says he can fit, at maximum, 2 drills, a hammer, 2 bit cases, and a drill charger.
Because of the canvas-y material, it doesn't hold its shape very well, causing the walls of the bag to slump when opened or empty or to bulge when filled. This is fine so long as you aren't expecting the bag to retain its shape or stay conveniently open the whole time. The structure and dimensions of this bag also mean that, when the bag is full, the pockets on the sides of the bag are rendered pretty much unusable for anything other than very small items.
So if you're looking for a good looking, durable bag, this bag is awesome, especially for the price! However, if you're like so many of the others here looking to use this bag as a tool bag, I'd suggest you consider the size and amount of tools you use. And when estimating the proportions of the bag, err on the side of small.
