Is this bag big enough for a full mechanic's tool set?

It is a compact bag aimed at a core set of hand tools: wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers and similar. Large socket sets, power tools or bulky diagnostic gear will not fit well. Check the listed dimensions against your longest tools before buying.

Does it hold its shape when loaded?

The rigid bottom insert supports the weight of stored tools, so the base stays flat and the bag stands upright. The canvas sides are soft and will flex as you fill it.

How does it compare with a hard tool case?

A hard case protects tools from impact and moisture better. This canvas bag is lighter, cheaper to make room for and easier to squeeze into a car trunk or boat locker, but it will not shield tools from being crushed.

Can I carry it by a shoulder strap?

No. It has dual carry handles only, so it is meant to be carried by hand. For long walks with a heavy load, a bag with a shoulder strap is a better fit.

What keeps small parts from falling out?

The main compartment zips shut, and the two exterior pockets close with snap buttons. Interior pockets are open, so very small items should go in the zippered section or the exterior pockets.

Our take on the Avid Power Heavy Duty Canvas Mechanics Tool Bag with Multiple Storage Pockets

The Avid Power Mechanics Tool Bag is a soft canvas carrier for wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers and similar hand tools. It has a zippered main compartment with eight interior pockets, two exterior snap-button pockets and a rigid bottom insert that holds the weight of a loaded bag. Dual carry handles make it easy to grab and move between a garage, car or boat. It suits homeowners and hobby mechanics who want an open, easy-to-sort bag rather than a molded hard case; soft bags like this trade crush protection for lighter weight and flexible packing.
