Tool Backpack Video

VIDEO SUMMARY

When taking your standard metal toolboxes to the jobsite, try one of the new tool backpacks. A tool backpack is great for carrying tools up a ladder or when you have to carry other objects at the same time. These backpacks have lots of pockets to organize your tools. You can store screwdrivers, razor knives, pencils, drywall hole cutters, tape measures, etc. in individual pockets.

Inside the larger section of the backpack, you can store your wrenches, pliers, hammers in place with elastic bands. The center area can handle that cordless drill.

On the outside, there are special pockets to hold your cell phone, a water bottle or any other smaller items.

These backpacks are a great way to carry your tools and keep your hands free.

What is the brand of this backpack, who makes it, where can I get it? I can't believe the video doesn't tell how or where to get the pack.

I have looked at all the other tool backpacks at Amazon and am quite disappointed. The main one they push is the Custom Leather Craft 75 pocket, but this one has too many small pockets and no room for a tape measure. I am an electrician and really only have 4 screw drivers, most over 4". I have a lot of pliers and other tools. None of the bags they offer would work well for contractors. The drill spot on the CLC won't hold a drill larger than 14 volt and it is on the outside, which makes the pack weighted funny.
I really liked the one shown in the video, but cannot find it anywhere online. Does anyone recognize the "M" logo? Does anyone know who makes it? I have really researched the tool backpacks and believe that the one featured on ATB may be the best for a contractors hand tool needs, plus I like the cell phone pocket and the other side pocket, which looks like it could easily hold a water bottle. Most contractors don't carry a set of open end wrenches in their tool bags and this adds serious weight to any backpack.

Please, anyone, tip me off to the manufacture and I will be happy buy one and write a review
on it.
