Abstract: A multi-function tool apparatus and system formed from a handle and a utility blade having a structure that facilitates completion of a plurality of functions, thus, reducing the number of ancillary tools required. The handle may include a butt end with a screwdriver in releasable engagement with the handle. The screwdriver can be removed to expose a shaft and several screwdriver bits. The butt end includes a bolt that can be removed to attach and extension pole to allow the apparatus to reach remote areas. The structure of the utility blade allows functions including but not limited to: scraping; putty spreading; caulk stripping; can opening, can closing; roller wiping; cutting; torquing hex nuts on spray guns; nail pulling, nail driving and the like. In other embodiments, other heads may be substituted for the utility blade.

Abstract: A tool bag that includes a tool bag body formed from a base with first and second endwalls attached to opposite end portions of the base. The tool bag body also includes a first sidewall attached to a side of the tool bag body that is releasably attached to the first endwall and releasably attached to the second endwall, and a second sidewall attached to a second side of the tool bag body opposite the first sidewall. The second sidewall includes a sidewall section flexibly joined to a cover section, where the sidewall section is releasably attached to vertical portions of the first endwall and the second endwall. The removable cover is removably attachable to a top portion of the first and second endwalls. The tool bag can also include a rotatable handle and a tool wall for simple, secure storage of tools.

Abstract: A tool bag that includes a base with a first and second endwall attached at opposite end regions of the base. The tool bag includes a handle rotatably attached to a first handle opening in an upper portion of the first endwall and a second handle opening in an upper portion of the second endwall. The handle having first and second base mating end portions disposed within the handle openings and terminating facing an interior of the tool bag body. The handle openings can be reinforced by a grommet with flange portions on inside and outside surfaces of the endwalls. The bag being convertible between a closed tool box and an open tool bag and including a tool wall for simply, secure storage of tools.

Abstract: A tool bag including a tool bag body having a surface with a high-density, secure-storage pocket is disclosed. The high-density, secure-storage pocket is formed from a reinforcing sheet, a base fabric sheet over the reinforcing sheet, a primary pocket layer over the base fabric sheet, a primary elastic retention strip over the primary pocket layer, and a plurality of vertically-oriented attachment regions. The base fabric sheet, the primary pocket layer and the primary retention strip are attached together by the vertically-oriented attachment regions. The base fabric material and said primary pocket layer are attached along the lower edges of each. The vertically-oriented attachment regions can be separated such that a space between the base fabric sheet and primary pocket layer between adjacent vertically-oriented attachment regions defines a primary high-density, secure-storage pocket. The primary elastic retention strip can extend horizontally and proximate to an upper edge of the primary pocket layer.

Abstract: A tool bag comprising a base with a first endwall attached at a first end region of the base and a second endwall attached a second end region of the base opposite the first end. The tool bag also includes a tool wall attached to the first endwall and the second endwall, and at least one bracket. Each of the at least one brackets can include two legs extending perpendicular to one another. The first endwall can include a rigid, stabilizing sheet and the tool wall can include a rigid, stabilizing member extending longitudinally along the length of the tool bag. The first leg of the first bracket can be attached to the first endwall and a second leg of the first bracket can be attached to a first end region of the rigid, stabilizing element. The tool wall can include a plurality of high-density, secure-storage pockets.
