I have been looking at getting a new, "nice" set of toolbags. I don't mind spending the money on a good set of American made bags ($411.00!) for the electrician ones made by Diamondback. I have only seen one set in person and it seemed very well made. Does anyone have any personal experience with them?

P.S. First time poster but I love the site so far. Thanks for the help.

Hey Matt, dont have any experience with diamond back, but they look great. Only advice I would have for you would be to learn to spell electrician if thats how you make your living. You have mis-spelled it in your post, your profile, and your avatar. I hope you had your buisness cards proofed before you ran them!

Nothing wrong with the oxy's. I use mine all time when I'm outside working. They are super comfortable and you can do a whole day with them on and they not be a bother. Built dam tough as well. There's a guy on a site near me who has some DB grizzlys and he has so many tools in the thing he can hardly move around. Was gonna ask him if I could try them out after the day was over but I left before I got a chance. They are just so expensive for what you get. They looked like a cheap brand compared to my oxy's. I think he paid $350+ for them :w00t:

Thanks for the replies guys. Even you "rock-it-man". Seems my fingers move faster than my brain sometimes.

I'm always amazed by this positive/negative thing. It's like the democrat/republican thing, Irrelevant. I have two sets of Occidentials, Thank You. Many times the best of us fall into a red ink position. i know you are respected on this board so I will spare you any indignities, however don't imply that the sit-rep is due to a negative attitude. Come open up shop in Missouri and see if you can keep a positive spin in a dead market

I'm with you! I don't think it's necessarily being negative, but rather realistic. People call me a pessimist, but I'm actually just a realist! Folks love to talk about being positive as if you can wish your bills paid!

For what those oxys cost, you could sell one of them and put yourself back in the black...temporarily!

Amen! I have a hard time staying postive all the time, but you need a way to stay positive. After all, how many truly successful people are pessimists? Americans built America. Not the other way around.

Not knocking anybody here. I know it's tough! I need a pep talk every once in a while too. It's been a tough couple of years, and I have had to make some adjustments. I'm no Tony Robbins, but I know that positive thinking helps.

Life isn't perfect, even when there is lots of work. We just need to focus on the things that are good in our lives right now. Like our families and loved ones. The fact that when work does pick up (and it will) we are physically able to get up and go to work. That we have the skills and knowledge to put food on our tables. I don't go to church or preach at anybody about there life but staying focused on the good things in life works for me.

I’m positive when I say that … $411.00 is way more than I would ever spend on a tool belt.
I looked over the pics on their website and honestly, I haven’t carried that much unnecessary crap in my pouches since I was a 1st year apprentice… almost 30-years ago.

The size of the bags was one of my concerns as well. I know you don't have to load them full but they did look alittle big. I'm tall and skinny so that is always a concern. The cost is all relative if they last. I usually charge $75 to install a celling fan, did 5 in one house. One days work, belts paid for.
