Klein Tools 55421BP14CAMO Tradesman Pro™ Tool Bag Backpack, 39 Pockets, Camo, 14-Inch

39 pockets total: 35 interior and 4 exterior. That split is the point of the bag. Nearly everything is organized inside where an orange liner makes tools easy to pick out against the fabric, and the outside carries just a few, including a front zipper pocket for small parts and a hard molded pocket for safety glasses.

The body is 1680d ballistic weave and the bottom is hard molded polypropylene, so it sits on concrete, gravel or a wet slab without the fabric taking the abrasion. The weave is water resistant, as is the molded front pocket. Water resistant is not waterproof, so it handles a rained-on truck bed or a damp basement, not submersion.

6 pounds (2.7 kg) empty. On a backpack that is worth knowing before you load it, because a full electrician's kit of meters, hand tools and a cordless driver can easily triple that. It carries on padded shoulder straps and has a top handle for grabbing it out of the truck one-handed.

A backpack like the 55421BP14CAMO is the right call when you are climbing ladders, working attics and crawlspaces, or walking long corridors and stairwells in a multi-family or institutional building, because both hands stay free and 35 interior pockets keep the kit sorted so nothing spills when you set it down. A tote or open-top bag is better when you work off a bench or a cart and want to reach straight in without unzipping. This one closes with a zipper, which keeps the contents in when you swing it onto a shoulder but means you open it before you grab.

They stand up. The bag was made taller than the standard Tradesman Pro backpack specifically so long screwdrivers fit, and the interior pockets are cut to that same depth, with 20 inches of overall height to work with. Anything longer than the bag, a hacksaw or a long level, still rides outside.

Order Klein Tools 55421BP14CAMO. That is the manufacturer part number for the Tradesman Pro tool bag backpack in REALTREE Edge camo, 39 pockets, 14 inch. There is one configuration, so there is no finish, size or option code to specify on the order.

The camo version is the same 39 pocket, 14 inch Tradesman Pro backpack finished in REALTREE Edge camouflage instead of the standard black. Body material, pocket count and the hard molded front pocket for safety glasses carry across. If your crew orders in a standard color to keep bags identifiable as company property, order the black; the camo is a color choice, not a different bag.

Safety glasses have a dedicated home: a hard molded front pocket that keeps lenses from getting crushed under tools. That pocket is also water resistant. Meters and other soft-sided gear go in the 35 interior pockets, which are sized for hand tools rather than armored for impact, so a delicate test instrument still travels better in its own case.
