Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The STANLEY FATMAX Technician Tool Bag, model 1-93-950, sits at number three in this guide. It is an 18-inch bag with a hard waterproof base, interior and exterior pockets, a padded shoulder strap and reinforced handles, listed at £24.97 with a 4.7 rating from 4,548 ratings and an Amazon Best Sellers Rank of 2 in Tool Bags.

The number that fails cross-checking here is the size. The product name and the first bullet point both say 18 inches, and the item type name repeats 18 inch, but the item dimensions field in the same spec table reads 19.3 x 10.2 x 11 cm — the length of a sheet of A5 paper, not of an 18-inch bag. The same table also gives a unit count of 1, a number of packs of 1 and a number of items of 4, and lists the material as plastic while the item type name describes 600 denier and leather. What does hold up: the 4.7 rating across 4,548 ratings, and the waterproof base, which the bullet points and the water resistance field agree on.

What buyers actually say

Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon

Verified purchase

“Birthday present for my daughter who is starting to collect a lot of everyday tools with nowhere to keep them together. She has not got this yet but I know she will love it, quality is top notch and looks slightly bigger than my Stanley toolbag. She is more than capable of doing a lot of small DIY projects so this will hold her drill, hammers, screwdrivers etc. plenty of pockets for drill bits and screws and the like.”

“A cracking bag that was bought for my cordless drills, batteries and charger as the original had seen better days. However, it is big enough for so much more, now I just need the one bag instead of numerous. Lucky enough to get it at half price so well chuffed with purchase”
