Welcome to Air Conditioner Lab dot com.
Our website and YouTube channel review a variety of products and recommend only the best HVAC
brands.
We spend hours researching and testing this equipment so that you can purchase with confidence.
In this video, we focus on the top three tool bags for HVAC technicians.
Each model has some unique features that we have highlighted and explained.
Let's get started!
.............
Our third-place pick is the Custom LeatherCraft Tool Backpack.
This option is one of the best tool backpacks for HVAC technicians on the go.
With 75 total pockets, there is a home for everything.
The most challenging part of using this bag is remembering which pocket you put things
in.
It even comes with small trays for screws, valve cores, and caps, which I thought was
a great feature as those are the items HVAC technicians tend to lose.
As long as you stay organized and have a system, it won't take you long to figure out how best
to use this bag.
There are a total of six zippered compartments as well.
In the front pocket, you will find the small-piece plastic tray that I referred to earlier.
The other zippered compartments are for organizing your tools and keeping them separate from
each other.
This tool backpack comes with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the bag, which is a
huge bonus.
The bag itself only weighs 5 pounds when empty, and each compartment can open to a fully flat
position, making loading and retrieving tools super simple.
One possible downside is that this HVAC backpack doesn't come with a rubber molded bottom,
so you will need to watch where you set it down.
While the carry handle isn't extremely ergonomic, the shoulder straps are double-padded and
adjustable.
Even when full, it won't be too much to carry on your back.

............. Today's runner-up is the Klein Tools Tradesman
Backpack.
We know Klein for their tool line up and you would expect their bags to be just as tough
and rugged.
I can confidently say that they are!
This is my favorite heavy-duty tool backpack for HVAC professionals.
It is made out of super-durable 1680D woven nylon, one of the most robust materials for
bags.
The molded rubber bottom gives you three and a half inches of waterproofing and stability.
And with 39 total pockets, you have ample space to stow everything from screwdrivers
and drill bits to manifolds.
It has a hard plastic external pocket to store fragile items like your safety glasses.
I ran into a bit of confusion surrounding the warranty with this tool backpack.
Klein offers a lifetime warranty, where they will repair or replace it for almost any reason.
However, they state, "for the normal life of the product," which can be a bit difficult
to determine.
I would have preferred a more clear and concise warranty policy, but overall, it's not a deal
breaker.
With a carrying handle for quick transport and two padded shoulder straps for those longer
hauls, the Klein Tools technician backpack will serve you well, no matter what you put
it through.
One potential downside is that this model weighs 7.5 pounds when empty, which is a bit
more than the others on my list.

bag reviews.
............. Our top pick for the best HVAC tool bag goes
to the Veto Pro Pac Tool Bag.
Veto makes bags and packs for many different types of working professionals.
The Pro Pac TECH-LC bag is an upgrade of the original LC bag, with new designs for electrical
and HVAC technicians.
Our top pick offers you 61 total pockets and compartments, which I found to be more than
enough for bouncing from jobsite to jobsite.
The durable and rugged design is not only eye-catching but functional.
The riveted, molded polypropylene handle is super comfortable and rugged.
Another great factor is that the bag only weighs 7 pounds when empty, which is pretty
good considering how rugged this thing is.
I had no issues carrying it around all day.
If your bag gets too heavy, you have the option to attach the padded shoulder strap to one
of the six D-rings, which means this tool bag pretty much does it all.
I found the D-rings to be useful for attaching tape measures or HVAC gauges as well.
The poly base is waterproof and offers superb stability.
Even when the bag is open and you are going in and out getting your tools, the bag stays
put.
The 100% Denier nylon won't rip or tear, and the PVC infusion is also waterproof.
The bag costs a little more, but with a 5-year warranty and enough space for all of your
HVAC tools (and most of the truck you arrived in), you won't regret this purchase for a
minute.
