A tool bag is crucial for effectively and safely managing tasks at height. But with so many different styles of tool bags available – how do you know which one is the right choice for you? Choosing the right tool bag depends on your needs and the nature of your work at height. Still confused? Leading Edge is here to help.
When it comes to construction jobs, it’s best to choose durable, tool bags that have reinforced compartments to securely store your tools. Look for bags with strong stitching that are made from waterproof materials. The fantastic part is that all our bags are designed for the most demanding work-at-height conditions, making them the leading PPE tool bags available on the market.
For those in the electrical work field, it’s essential to select a bag designed for live voltage, which means it should be free of any metal parts. Yet, the key aspect to focus on when working at heights is high quality tethering points on the tool bag. That’s why we don’t simply add a D-ring to our bags! Our structural tethering points are combined with high-strength webbing to improve safety. Every tool bag intended for work at height should have well-structured tethering and fixing points to ensure safety and avoid any dropped tools.

There are two distinct colour options for our tool bags: black and orange, each tailored for specific work needs.
The black bags represent our specialist height safety line, crafted for strength, quality, and added reinforcement, making them perfect for general work at height. All bags come with tethering features and we also have an additional range of debris catchers to promote safety and efficiency.
In contrast, the orange tool bucket bags are specially made for live voltage situations, offering high visibility and a breathable design to enhance safety in such settings. Our orange LV bags are designed to be intrinsically safe, containing no metal parts, which minimises the risk of electrical conductivity and ensures adherence to strict safety regulations for live voltage operations.
