Makita Tool Bags & Totes
Makita tool bag options that stop your kit getting battered in the van and lost on site, from open totes to backpacks and wheeled holdalls.
When you're bouncing between first fix, snagging, and the yard, you need a Makita bag that carries what you actually use, not a flimsy freebie that splits at the zip. This range covers Makita tool bags, Makita tote bag styles, tool backpacks, and Makita tool bag with wheels options, so you can keep drills, fixings, and batteries organised and easy to grab.
What Are Makita Tool Bags Used For?
- Loading the van properly so your Makita drill bag, chargers, and small fixings are contained and not rolling around under sheets and levels.
- Carrying a day's worth of hand tools and a combi in a Makita tool tote or Makita open tool bag so you can work room to room without constant trips back to the van.
- Keeping batteries, chargers, and leads together in a Makita battery bag so you are not hunting for a loose charger when you are already set up on the job.
- Getting across big sites or car parks with a Makita tool bag on wheels, so heavier kit moves in one run instead of wrecking your back and hands.
- Working off ladders and through loft hatches with a Makita tool backpack, keeping both hands free while your core kit stays tight to your back.
Choosing the Right Makita Tool Bag
Sort the right Makita bag by how you work day to day, not by how much you can cram in it once.
1. Tote, holdall, or open tool bag
If you are in and out of rooms all day, a Makita tool tote or Makita open tool bag is faster because you can see and grab everything. If you are travelling with kit in the van and want it zipped up, go for a Makita holdall or Makita duffel bag style to keep dust and rain off.
2. Backpack vs carry bag
If you are up stairs, on ladders, or carrying boards at the same time, a Makita tool backpack makes life easier because your hands stay free. If you are mostly flat ground and just want quick access, a Makita carry bag or tote is simpler and quicker to work out of.
3. Wheels for heavier loads
If you are regularly hauling multiple tools, batteries, and fixings, a Makita tool bag with wheels is the sensible choice. If it is just a drill, impact, and small bits, wheels are extra bulk you do not need.
4. Size and pocket layout
A large Makita tool bag is only useful if the pockets stop everything piling into one heap. If you carry lots of small consumables, pick a bag with proper internal dividers so you are not tipping the whole thing out to find a driver bit.
Makita Tool Bag FAQs
What is the Makita 831279 0 tool bag?
It's a genuine Makita branded tool bag model, commonly supplied for carrying cordless tools and day-to-day site essentials. Exact size, pocket layout, and whether it is supplied empty or as part of a kit depends on the listing, so check the product details before you assume it fits a specific tool.
Will a Makita tool bag fit my drill and impact with batteries and charger?
Most Makita tool bags will take a combi and impact, but not all will take a charger and multiple batteries without becoming a tight squeeze. If you carry a charger daily, look for a larger Makita tool bag or a Makita tote tool bag with a wide base so it does not topple over.
Are Makita bags waterproof or just shower resistant?
Most tool bags are built to handle damp site conditions and the odd shower, but they are not dry bags. If your kit is going to sit in standing water or get left out in heavy rain, you need to keep it covered or move up to a sealed storage option.
Is a Makita tool bag with wheels worth it, or is it overkill?
If you are carrying heavier cordless kit, fixings, and hand tools across big sites, wheels pay for themselves quickly because you stop doing multiple trips and you are not wrecking your hands. If you only carry a drill and a small hand tool set, a standard Makita carry bag is less bulky and easier to store in the van.
What is the difference between a Makita tote bag and a zipped holdall?
A Makita tote is quicker on the job because you can see your tools and grab them without unzipping anything, which suits snagging and room-to-room work. A zipped Makita holdall keeps dust and weather off in the van and is better if you are throwing it in with other gear.
Who Are Makita Tool Bags For on Site?
- Sparkies and kitchen fitters who need a Makita toolbag that keeps testers, fixings, and a drill together for quick room-to-room work.
- Chippies and joiners running first fix who want a Makita tote tool bag for easy access to squares, chisels, screws, and impact bits without digging around.
- Maintenance teams and site snaggers who live out of a Makita work bag, carrying a small spread of tools that covers most call-outs.
- Anyone shifting heavier cordless kit who is better off with a Makita wheeled tool bag, especially when you are parking a long way from the job.
Accessories That Make a Makita Tool Bag Work Harder
A couple of small add-ons stop your bag turning into a mess and keep the job moving.
1. Tool organisers and small parts cases
Use an organiser for screws, rawlplugs, and terminals so they are not loose in the bottom of your Makita tool bags, especially when the bag gets tipped in the van.
2. Spare batteries and a second charger
If you are running cordless all day, keep a spare battery set and charger in the bag so you are not dead in the water when you are halfway through fixings or drilling.
3. Bit sets and drill sets in cases
A cased set stops bits scattering through the lining, and it is the difference between a tidy Makita power tool bag and one you are constantly rummaging through.
