Rank #7 in Best Tool Bags 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Numbers That Clash
DEWALT Toughsystem Soft Tool Bag, 560mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DEWALT Toughsystem Soft Tool Bag 560mm is a zipped polyester tool bag with a web handle, no wheels and two compartments. It is priced at £72.95, rated 4.8 out of 5 from 449 ratings, and it takes the number 7 slot in this guide.
The finding on this listing is arithmetic. The capacity field reads 74.01 litres. The item dimensions are given as 33 x 38 x 57 cm, which multiply out to roughly 71.5 litres of outside volume — less than the stated capacity, for a bag whose walls, pockets and lid all take up room inside that box. The bullet points then contradict the spec table outright: they give an item package weight of 100 grams and package dimensions of 1 x 1 x 1 cm, against an item weight of 3.3 kg on the same page. A 3.3 kg bag does not arrive in a one-centimetre cube weighing 100 g. Both figures come from DEWALT's own listing; only one of them can be describing the product.
