Husky 16 Inch Tool Backpack review

The Husky backpack is built tough with durable materials and also a solid hard plastic base. The straps are very strong and comfortable on your shoulders. Convenient tool clip built in on the side. A built in meshed foam to cushion your back while wearing it keeps you comfortable and not feeling the weight. Also on the inside is numerous molded pockets for a range of different sized tools.

Real World Use

I've owned my Husky Backpack for a little over a two years now. We've been through alot of tough jobs together. I have mostly used it for an emergency tool bag. Just so I can never say "Man I wish I had this hand tool right now!" I love this backpack but I have not gone easy on it or babied it. It's been tossed onto hard shop floors and into into work trucks nonstop. I have also noticed it has a nice resistance to water. Not saying you can throw it into a pool or lake but it holds up to dampness and the base protects against puddles or small streams of water. Since I work in FL, rain is always a threat to tools.

Conclusion

I would highly recommend this backpack to anyone who needs a reliable tool bag. Great for extra tool storage and also fits into many different trade environments. One of the only problems I have with this backpack is that I wish it had more pockets/storage. Husky has answered this by releasing thier mark 2 work backpack. Which I may purchase and review in the future.

Overall I will never stop recommending this Backpack. If your looking for affordable/portable tool storage you won't be disappointed with this buy.
