  Hiking is a popular recreational pastime in Arizona, as a get-away from urban living, while enjoying the beauty and wildlife of nature. Hiking season runs all year in Arizona. Of course, with unpredictable weather and fires, some trails may be closed anytime during the season. The websites for the area will usually inform you of any closures or cautions and we provide links for most of the trails in our directory Search Tucson Pictures

Home Repair Tool Kit
An overview with pictures

      This is an overview and review of this style of bag for a home repair tool kit. I am not sure of the manufacturer, but this style of bag is very useful, The many inside pockets allow tools to stand upright and accessible when needed. This bag is comfortable to carry so it's useful at home and away and it offers a lot of extra space for specialty tools, parts or whatever.

The bag has no tags, i think I bought it at a discount hardware store or one of the box stores. It came with an even larger one as a set and I needed the larger one for some power tools (and later electronic tools) and this bag ended up working very well as a general tool carrier. In the past I used the military tool pouch similar to this one, but with no side pockets the military version is not much comparison. This bag has a metal rod around it's edge to keep it opened. There is a hinge where the bag closes. This can be handy for keeping the bag open, but restricts how much can be crammed into the bag at times

The collection of tools I carry for home repairs and most projects around the house includes : Hammer (like the roofing hammer over claw hammers) large screw drivers, small broom, large and small crescent wrenches, several screwdrivers, punch, awl, chisel, 5in1 tool, set of hex (I like the bag of the 'swiss army' style), wire cutter, wire stripper, small and large long nose, lineman's pliers, channel locks, wd40, tweezers, surgical clamps, scissors, lights, markers, pens, pencil, a few drill bits (lg med small, 1/4 inch hole drill, extra bit for cordless drill / driver, chop sticks, zip ties (various sizes) jumpers (12 gauge) JB Quick Weld, trash bags, tape measure, light sticks, small parts tubes (Nuts, bolts, screws, wire nuts, misc small items) In large syringe tubes that fit nicely in tool slots in a bag like this. I wrap a few layers of tape around the tube so that its cap fits very tight. The tube with the yellow tape wrapped around is the wood screw,s nails and fasteners, the other is fuses, electronic parts, small wire, etc teflon tape, a few sizes and types of wire and a roll of metal strap

This all fits fairly well in this tool bag. I leave plenty of room to load the bag with whatever gear I will need for the job I'm doing. Plumbing jobs require certain tools, electrical jobs require others. I can add whatever I need to the bag and remove it later. The bag is large enough to carry medium length crow bars, many saws. most hammers and a 14 volt cordless drill

The carry straps are nylon webbing with a plastic hose sewn into it so that a rounded handle is created on each side of the bag, This design is very comfortable even when the bag is loaded with heavy gear. After years of abuse these handles are still in great shape too. Pliers are kept on the outside two to a pocket. A soft bag like this stretches as it is filled, so the pliers are kept tightly in place and I've never had one fall out on it's own (by accident) in the years I've carried this bag.The other side of the bag carries the drill bits. sharpies and flashlight. This stuff is all kept pinned in place by the gear inside pushing out. Once the bag is empty care must be taken to make sure the outside pockets hold their items however.

One drawback to a bag like this is the ease in which it accumulates extra tools, spare parts, and other clutter. This was a picture of the bag before I cleaned it out for this review

Besides twice the amount of tools there was a handful of dirt, dust, nuts, bolts, zip ties, washers, etc

This repair kit is also handy in case tools are need in an emergency. The tools in this kit could help in rescue work, first aid improvisation, transportation repair, and lots more uses. Along with a first aid kit and some tools and gear for the vehicle, this fairly portable, compact collection of gear could potentially save the day
