Stanley Tools FatMax® Tool Backpack 45cm (18in)

Just so good to take around on a job, especially if you just starting off and you dont have a van and you going to work by the bus. So much can fit neatly into this backpack. Its also comfortable on the back when carrying it. The hand tools separator is also so very useful to just pull out and have ur tools within reach. Mines now just sitting in the garage as Ive upgraded (if you can say that lol) to another Stanley tool case, which was bigger and more suitable for me in the van.

Great piece of kit i dont use mine for whats its mmet to be but makes a wicked pack up box! Ill carry my drone go pro and lunch in nonproblems and loads of room to spare. I imiagine if you had tools you could carryna full kit in it nonproblems

Great bag, I used it as a battery bag mainly but then used it for carrying a handful of tools for a specific job, usually used it for carrying tools for guttering on site climbing up scaffold ladders etc.. it’s lasted me ages, great quality but abit pricey for what it is imo.

Had this bag for a while before getting a veto. Honestly it was very good only problem being that I had too many tools and the zip would break open occasionally. My fault no the bags however. Very good for the price. Nice quality and lots of storage room.

Very handy bag. Work in central London alot so travel up by train. Easy to carry all my hand tools and an impact driver. Side pockets have ended up holed with isnt great but still usable.

The perfect way to carry all of your tools. Very comfortable to wear. Loads of slots to carry any and all of your tools. All slots are made of tough elastic to last.

For the price I paid I am happy with the bag use it for overflow tools on installs, so along with my main bag I still have a free hand like the feature of being able to take out the tool holders if you need.

I have used my bag for a good year and a half now for storing my tablet, bits of paperwork and some handy tools to keep on me in and out of the house. Brilliant compartments and built very well.

Great bag for a quick pick up general hand tools. I use it for call outs, quick jobs etc. Very quick and easy instead of taking the tool boxes out the van.

Great bag for boiler services or small in and out jobs has enough pockets and room for everything you will need and frees up your hands while carrying other items to your job

Really good tool bag, I use it for boiler services and minor repairs. I have my tools set up inside that make them a lot quicker and easier to find. Highly recommend.

Really good tool bag,made well and holds up 1 year in, plenty of compartments also very surprised how much you can fit in, good value bad that does not cost a fortune

Not as good as I expected not enough features for the money can get cheaper brands with more value for money
Save your money get the budget brands

I was given the backpack from my neighbour who uses his Milwaukee one. I’ve used it a few times and it’s nice. Hold my screwdrivers in place and feel strong enough.

Not sure if I’d pay £50 for it but it does hold a lot and feels well made.

Nice big rucksack with nice pouch to organise all your tools. Had mine for a few years and has never let me down. Good price and holds plenty yet is comfortable due to the padding on the back. Durable and protects my tools due to the hard base

A good quality bag which can take a good beating. Side packets could be taller and have a way of closing then like a flap with hook and look fasteners the front pouch mess lasts all of 5mins would like to see this turned into a large zip pocket. For the price the bag is great but quality could be improved to match the more expensive bags out there

The bag is quite heavy to start with before tools are added but that is because of the solid bottom , heavy duty materials and internal tool holder. The side pockets being open are not great for me personally but I could imagine this being useful for some. The plastic base is ideal if putting the bag down on wet ground as it stops the material getting wet.

The bag I had done the job, I never over loaded it but I found that my shoulder straps where starting to burst also the zips aren’t too great the often get stuck and break, I did improvise though with a frying pan!

Just recently got one of these. So far really great value for money. However I’m not sure if it will be my every day tool bag. I need a little more space.

This is a really good quality bag and will last forever if looked after.

The problem is, I just don’t get on with it.
I use it for jobs where I have to walk a lot, its great for that, but I can never pack it so my tools are easily accessible.
I find myself pulling everything out every time, even the pull out section doesn’t help that much as it collapses in on itself when tools are inserted!
The laptop section isn’t fully enclosed so be careful if that’s why you want this bag.

I bought one of these eight years ago and it is still going strong. It's been on and off my van, indoors and outdoor sites and generally chucked about. The lift out insert is flexible and strong, the pockets are rugged and (so far) tear proof. Great for slinging over a shoulder when carrying two toolboxes.

Superb product. I thought I’d give this bag a go as got sick of dragging around my service bag from house to house servicing boilers. I was a little apprehensive about buying this bag but I am well Impressed. It is very comfortable to wear, has great build quality and features, and is great value for money too. Would highly recommend and intact I am planing to by a second one for my installation tools!

This is the best sto rage item I ever decided to purchase. So many pockets and pouches with an unlimited way to arrange your tools. As a plumbing, heating and gas engineer. I need alot of different tools to hand at any one time. So this is the ideal solution to tool storage without tipping a hard box all over the floor to find that one tool you need. Very hard wearing and a good price.

I had this back pack, to be honest I didn’t get on with it, I actually gave it away to my mates apprentice, it’s not that it was terrible, just I am old school and prefer bags and toats.

Really handy tool bag lots of storage and pockets for different bits and bobs, seems to be going strong had it a few years now and no faults with.

this is a good tool bag, but could do better, the tool pockets could be a better range of sizes to fit tools, I find that tools do not stay in position for long and you end up with a pile of tools in the bottom, I like the weight and the shape, adjustable pockets will make this a great tool bag

Sometimes I work in town and parking is a problem in the van so when transportation of tools to and from job is a issue
This is the go to BAG

Great bag for the price. Plenty of room to fit tools for servicing and repairs of boilers and heating systems. Lots of pockets to fit screw drivers and spanners.

Love this bag. Fits in plenty of tools with a good amount of pockets. Straps are chunky as well as the zips. Good waterproof base to keep the bottom dry.

Decent little bag for a few tools that need to be carried around sites Center section comes out which makes it handy for tight spaces not a bad little tool bag over all

Only had the bag about month but so far to good, zips nice and chunky I like that you can take the middle out holds loads it’s perfect for a service bag,

Handy bag for small jobs or transporting small tools, i like the pull out insert,alot of pockets, could do with pull cord on the top of the side pockets to tighten up on tools in them to prevent losing / falling out. I found the zip poor quality and lasted five minutes.

Love my bag. Easy to handle. Plenty of space to put all the tools I need to hand. Had it 2 years and would definitely buy another. Starting to show wear now after 2 years but it's paid for itself.

Pretty expensive for what it is, the idea is much better than using it in reality. Can only store a handful of tools/a few other bits and pieces.

Very good bag. Only complaint is that my grips and shifters tend to fall out the removable middle pouch

Bought it liking the idea of carrying tools around.

Pockets are q little small and does get criwded

Laying well like you can pull the centre storage out if required handy to carry or tote on your back zips up well so no losing tools during transportation some stitched pockets a bit small

Perfect for servicing and breakdowns! Got my wera tool kits in it. Value for money and nice wide straps

Ok for light use once loaded with tools the middle section can be a pain to put tools back in. Now relegated to gather dust in my garage and using a ck magna case now.

Purcahrdc ghis from Screwfix however once it was loaded with a few tools I noticed the stitching was coming away took it back and Screwfix replaced it with no issues however the second one the zip went within 3 weeks again replaced no issues only for 6 months on the stitching to come away again. Wouldn't class it as a hardwesring day to day toolbag. Disappointed

Had my one now for 2 1/2 years, held up really well, great for servicing / repair tools, plenty of space for individual tools & decent value for money.

Good bag but could do with larger pockets for larger tools.
Still I use it everyday and would still recommend.

I use one of these every day and am not a massive fan but seeing as i am still using it I guess its not that bad!

It's main issue is everythign ends up getting thrown in the bottom and filling the bag up. Keep it clean and it great

I've been using this bag for about a week now, I've used Stanley tote bags for years now and was sick of people boring tools and just piling them back in.
So far I love this, everything has its place and if it doesn't go in it's rightful place it won't shut.
It is a bit limited in size but I get everything I need including a small cordless drill and stops you putting all random bits of rubbish that always seem to accumulate in larger bags.
So far so good!

Hi guys, it's Matt here from Tools2trust. I actually bought a Stanley backpack for my work on a building site in Hayes. I was on this site for 4 months and found within that short space of time the actual strap had snapped ! My tools aren't that heavy but for some reason it had given away. Therefore I feel it's quite poorly constructed and not worth buying. Maybe the other version is better ! Or I may bust open the piggyback and try a veto pro pac....we will see !

Well where to start.

The bag showed lots of promise, bought the bag to house a small selection of servicing tools (screwdrivers etc) as i was getting tired of taking out tools i needed from my main tool box.

Loaded a few tools in, put it in the van, took it out and the bottom plastic has cracked and pulled the stitching out of the material.

Absolute waste of time. An aldi bag for life priced at £0.15p would of lasted longer!!

Good quality use mine weekly ideal for carrying tools across London on the tube.
