Why are these things so ungodly expensive? Are they at least worth it quality and ergonomics wise?

>Why are these things so ungodly expensive
same reason yhetti coolers and those randy savage sunglasses are
if youre doing field work its nice to have a hd man purse to haul your shit in because cardboard boxes inevitably tear apart

Theyre certainly flashy bags, but they hold up well, I beat the shit out of mine and you would hardly know. The pockets are also set up a bit more logically for the intended trade the bag is for, the average 5gal bucket insert always has fucky pocket sizing and placement so shit falls out.

I got a Stanley toolbox with wheels and a pull handle and it has held up incredibly well. Has about 35kg of stuff inside.

We use these at work and they hold up well. Rivet the handle rollpins in place, they're only like 1/4" long and don't go all the way through so we've had them pop out and lost the handle.

>Sure it's more expensive than a similar sized box but least you can lose the handle and your tools can fall out or some dipshit with sticky fingers can just walk by and grab something

This seems to be the answer. Haven't owned them but everyone I see says they're tough. The pocket game also suits the obsessively organized types. A brand I like, for the same reasons, is CLC (Custom Leather Craft). They're owned by some bigger outfit (because what isn't anymore), sell their stuff under another name up in Canuckistan, and they've done some branded bags for DeWalt I believe, but they're another "get what you pay for" producer. What I'd recommend is keeping a watch on Craigslist, Marketplace, etc and checking pawn shops, consignment stores, etc too. I got my CLC bag, which apparently retails around $160 now, for about $30 from a bumfuck flea market about a decade ago and it's still holding up.

That's some crazy shit though. Wonder if anyone has brought it up with them and if they're gonna remedy it.
>>
>>2975867
We overload them with a hydraulic power unit. We found a flaw and a remedy so customers don't complain their box fell apart. Like I said, they hold up well, considering.

5 gallon buckets and liners work better, but they get heavy and you'll never look like a try-hard.

This. Though those are more expensive than they should be for what they are, too.

I have this. 1/10th of the price and mine has lasted for 4+ years.
Why people buy expensive brand-name shit? To show off. It's fashion.

ITS NOT A PURSE!!!
ITS A CARRY-ALL BAG WITH A SHOULDER STRAP!!
