Its rugged construction will protect sensitive computing and testing equipment on the jobsite and will keep other business essentials and hand tools organized and within easy reach. This is the one bag that does it all the ultimate tool organization, tool storage solution.
Keep The Zippers Clean & Lubricated
Over time, dirt and grit will “clog” the zipper coils preventing them from staying closed. To keep this from happening, clean and lubricate zippers twice a year (more often if work on a job site with a high amount of airborne debris). To clean the coils scrub them with soapy water; a tooth brush works very well. After scrubbing the coils, blow them out with an air hose to dislodge any other fine grit that didn’t dislodge with the brush. To lubricate the coils apply a silicone spray, beeswax or a zipper lubricant.
Protect The Zippers From Sharp Objects and/or Excessive Heat
Any sharp object or heat source is capable of permanently damaging the zippers. A zipper coil is cut or singed the zipper will not function and in most cases is not repairable. Most of the cut zipper coils we see are the result of sharp tools stored inside the bag with the sharp side facing up. Make sure to keep the sharp edges of tools facing down in bag and away from the zipper coils.
Don’t Overstuff The Bag
Overstuffing tool bag will very likely cause significant stress on the zippers that is above and beyond what the bag was built for and will eventually cause the zipper(s) to separate. If we have to work hard to closed zipper(s), tool bag is most likely overstuffed proceed with caution.
