Company gets toolbags from Katun, I think, embroidered with the company logo, but techs are allowed to carry whatever they want as long as it's "professional-looking". No Hello Kitty backpacks full of screwdrivers and Stretch 'n' Dust cloths.
But, when carrying the "company" toolbag as well as a DR411, Dev Unit, Fusing Unit, it can get unwieldy. I put the DV411 in the toolbag for that call. Or on a toner run for the weekly replenishment of spares, one of these surely helps.
HOT WHEELS!
Somewhere there is a tree working hard to produce oxygen for you to live, NOW GO APOLOGIZE TO IT!
Remember going into the airport to do a call and logging that bag with tools in one hand and struggling with the parts in the other. So relieved when got to destination. From the parking lot to the machine a good quarter mile or so. The bags with wheels is definitely what i would go with, even it is to carry small items.
The cart above is always in the trunk for the odd return of small machines, especially when you are miles away and they want you to bring back the machine.
This is the one our techs use and it is a good bag and cost effective.
I still stand with what I said... I can't believe I took this long to switch to a back-pack style. Best move I ever made. The toolbag I got then seems to be holding up fine. All the zippers and pouches and straps show no signs of wear.

I know a lot of soldiers who would disagree with this. I left Fort Lewis on my 57th birthday in 2004 to go to Iraq. We had three other members of the unit who were over 50.
The above statement itself has no scientific fact for the objection, or this reply need the reply question of " why not ".
However, i would say no tech should wear a backpack, as to the professional appearance a tech has that added burden or reqirement of the trade, especially in the office environment. Imagine a tech with a long sleeve shirt walking into a office with a backpack on. I know our boss will not allow it.

If they add 40k I will push my stuff in anything they want me to. Until then I use something comfy and decent ,what sparks interest and starts conversations. No Hello Kitty but , much bettet!
Byting on bits.
.OK Google! ... will I need Berrocca this morning?
i have 2 i use. a full size bag and a convertible. i got them both from Crawford tools in Georgia. the small one is the platt 121 i thknk. the ideas of the previous posts for backpacks also look nice. milwaukee sells one as well as a construction type from hardware stores like OSH. the 121 is small, but i use if for small simple work.
You CAN'T go wrong with a Flat Cart!...holds 300 Pounds, I use mine to carry toolbag and parts or even a small machine!...sure beats hurting your back!

I know this is trending the wrong way, but has anyone tried out the UpCart? I really like it. If you happen to be hauling 100 lbs of gear up & down stairs, this is the way to go. Note that the basic cart does not accommodate the Platt case very well. The platform is ~5" too narrow. I created a wooden platform to raise the case ~5" higher to clear the linkages. The case fits snugly enough that the bungee is entirely unnecessary. The case by itself cannot fall off. And it makes stairs much more manageable. Not wonderful, but manageable.
If you've ever accidentally dumped all your load in a snowy salty street, then had the light change, you can appreciate the value. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
