Sorry I never replied, just saw this now.
Yes! That's where I got it from. Its very well made and it holds a whole lot of tools while keeping them organized.
Some form of lubrication other than WD40 might be a good idea. Maybe a little bottle of 3-in-1 oil. If you know anybody on the vape, see if you can get an old plastic refill bottle from them. They make great micro oilers if you fill them with the lubricant of your choice. I usually like ATF, but use whatever you like.
A tube of Chapstick also makes a pretty good light-duty grease stick and gasket dressing.
A dozen round toothpicks might come in handy in the event you either drill a screw hole one size too large or diwcover it has been stripped out by over torquing. Wood glue is optional.
Small tubes of Gorilla Glue and/or CA (Super Glue) are handy. Keep the CA in the fridge or freezer, not in the bag, until you head out.
Keeping a spare 20A circuit breaker to fit your panel pretty well guarantees that you will never need it.
A small selection of wirenuts would be smart, and maybe have spare outlets (normal and GFCI style) and light switch in case you get a call for electrical repair.
Maybe a tube of drywall hole filler would be useful. Or maybe drywall repair and refinishing goes into a separate, dedicated bag.
I have a talent for turning a 25-pound "go bag" into a 150-pound soft sided roll cab. Take all of this with a grain of salt and apply discretion.
For me, my tools include stuff mainly for emergencies like:
A lot of that sounds extra, but my bucket of tools has rarely let me down and saved me from quite a few after hours disasters.
When I was living in an apartment a few years ago, I brought a few tools from home but also ended up buying a few at Lowes Depot to do some small DIY furniture projects. One of them was a Japanese pull saw.
This thread is costing me money, in a good way.
Tangential question: cat's paw with "dimpler" to bang down around the nailhead: gimmick or genius?
This bag is on sale (coupon required) right now at Hazard Fraught. Looks like a no-brainer for ten bucks.
EDIT: After reading some reviews, sorting by lowest rating first, it looks like this one may be too flimsy to be viable.
Sorry for blurry pics.
I added a fabric strap on either side of the bag so I can hook the drill & driver to the outside of the bag, leaving space on the inside for other stuff. They should make this standard on these bags (and make them about 1" taller - occasionally when I set it down its enough to unhook one of them.
I keep a small black canvas bag from HF in the back of my car. It has vice grips, Lowe's multiple pliers set, multibit screwdriver, duct tape, electrical tape, zipties, work light, disposable paint respirator and a couple other things I can't recall right now.

Gimmick.
In 45 years in construction, I can't think of a single time I ever would have needed or wanted that.
