Is this bag big enough for a full electrician's kit?

Yes. It is sized for a full hand tool set, and the 13 interior pockets plus the open main compartment hold pliers, screwdrivers, strippers and meters together. It is not meant for power tools or a large parts load.

How does it compare with a nylon tool tote?

The canvas and steel frame are heavier and stiffer than nylon, but they hold their shape and resist abrasion better. Nylon totes are lighter and often zip shut; this one closes with buckled straps.

Does the top stay open while I work?

Yes. A steel frame with a hinge holds the mouth open so you can reach in with one hand. It does not lock open, so it can be pushed closed when the bag is squeezed.

Is the bottom waterproof?

The bottom is moisture-resistant vinyl, which protects tools from damp floors and light spills. The canvas body and open top are not waterproof, so it is not a bag to leave out in rain.

What comes in the box?

The bag only. The detachable, adjustable shoulder strap is included; tools are not.

Can the shoulder strap be removed?

Yes. The strap detaches, so you can carry it by the leather handles when the load is light or the strap is in the way.
