A plumber is struggling to find a tool storage solution that balances portability, organization, and capacity for carrying power tools, hand tools, adhesives, and fittings on new construction sites.

Existing packout systems are heavy and bulky even when empty, while backpacks may not offer enough capacity or organization for a new construction plumber's diverse toolset.
