The size of the bag is perfect to stash the common tools that a condo/apartment/dorm dweller would need (like a hammer, locking tape measure, utility knives, flashlight, multiheaded screwdrivers, etc.) as well as the plastic organizer boxes for all those nails, screws, and bolts.This bag would also be useful for carrying around computer stuff like cables, routers, external HD's, joysticks, little speakers, etc.My expectations were more than exceeded when I got this bag. It's has a nice sturdy feel and loads of interior pockets to help organize your stuff. The top of the bag is zippered and the bag's wide mouth has a nice interior propping mechanism sewn in that allows the bag to stay fully open effortlessly (like an open box). The shoulder strap is also handy if you expect to lug this thing around packed with heavy items.
