Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
   (a) Technical Field of the Invention 
   The present invention relates to tool bag structure. More particular, a tool bag with multiple combinations of pockets to hold different types of working tools, facilitating the accessible by the user. 
   (b) Description of the Prior Art 
     FIG. 1  shows a conventional tool bag described in Taiwan Patent publication no. 206 133. In application, the tool bag is mounted to the waist of the user. Two pockets are mounted to the waist strap which is tied to the waist. Rivets are used to fasten the pockets to the waist strap. The drawback of the conventional tool bag is that the pockets are fixed that cannot be detached for replacement or combination, and the storing of tools in these pockets is generally specific. Accordingly, different types of pockets have to be mounted for storing or carrying tools for various kinds of applications. If the specific pockets are not appropriate to the user to keep the tools, the designs of the pocket have to be changed and accordingly, it is a waste of material and in turn an increase in the production cost. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a tool bag with multiple combinations of pockets, wherein the pockets for storing or keeping tools are not fixed but can be changed if required. 
   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
   A main object of the present invention is to provide a tool bag with multiple combinations of pockets, wherein the tool bag is secured over the shoulder of the user with straps and various types of pockets for tools can be flexibly changed with respect to the type of tools that required for a project. 
   A further object of the present invention is to provide a tool bag with multiple combinations of pockets, wherein the tool pocket and the waist strap are mounted by employing a male and a female fastener. 
   Still another object of the present invention is to provide a tool bag with multiple combinations of pockets, wherein the pockets are downwardly hung which are easily accessible to the user and the tools within the tool pockets can be easily taken out. 
   Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a tool bag with multiple combinations of pockets, wherein the two lateral sides of the strap can be mounted with other types of tool pocket such that the tools can be suspended thereto. 
   Still another object of the present invention is to provide a tool bag with multiple combinations of pockets, wherein the tool pockets can be used to accommodate all types of tools and it is economical to produce the pockets. 
   The objects and other advantages of the present invention are best understood with reference to the preferred embodiment when read in conjunction with the following drawings, wherein:
