Had this arrangement for 3 years and very happy with it. I only need one maybe two for any job and the rest stay secure below. I also use the shoulder strap to attach bag to boat if working on deck.

I have 9 bags, and my toolkit is extensive, I even have a vice. But how much you need depends on how far from help will you be, and how dependent do you want to be.


SO - I currently use these bags in my everyday job and thoroughly enjoy them. I was also thinking about storing the boat tools in them. Question: Was that a silicone solution you sprayed them with, WD-40, or something you pick up at a camping supply store etc.?

Thanks
