This is the Amazon Basics Tool Bag in black and grey, named as a 16-inch / 40.6 cm bag and sitting at number 2 in this guide at £18.89, with a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 7,685 ratings. The listing ranks it 42nd in Tool Bags.

Most listings on this page fall apart when you line the numbers up against each other. This one largely does not. The bullet points claim 40.6 cm and 26 pockets — 10 internal and 16 external — and the spec table lists 26 compartments. The bullet points give the measurements as 40.5 by 21 by 23 cm; the spec table gives 40.5L x 21W x 23H centimetres. The number that does not hold is the load: the same listing puts the item weight at 812 g and the maximum weight recommendation at 1 kilogram, which leaves 188 g of headroom on a bag sold for carrying tools. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this product, not from any test of ours.
