Claim:
A tool bag, comprising: a tool bag body formed from a base with a first endwall attached at a first end region of the base and a second endwall attached at a second end region of the base opposite the first end portion; a first sidewall attached to a first lateral portion of the tool bag body, releasably attached to the first endwall and releasably attached to the second endwall; and a second sidewall attached to a second lateral portion of the tool bag body opposite the first lateral portion, said second sidewall comprising a sidewall section flexibly joined to a cover section, wherein said sidewall section is releasably attached to vertical portions of the first endwall and the second endwall, a tool wall coupled to said base, said first end wall and said second end wall, wherein said tool wall extends perpendicularly from said base and is coupled intermediate first and second lateral sides of said base, wherein the cover section is releasably attachable to a top portion of the first and second endwalls, wherein a user can pivot said first sidewall and said second sidewall between a closed position where said first sidewall, said second sidewall, or both are attached to said first and second endwalls, and an open position where said first sidewall, said second sidewall or both have been released and lay out to the sides of the tool bag body so the user can access an interior of the toolbag, said tool bag further comprising a pocket configuration, comprising: a base fabric sheet; a primary pocket layer over the base fabric sheet; a primary elastic retention strip over said primary pocket layer, said primary elastic retention strip extending horizontally and proximate to an upper edge of said primary pocket layer; and a plurality of vertically-oriented attachment regions where said base fabric sheet, said primary pocket layer and said primary retention strip are attached together, wherein said base fabric material and said primary pocket layer are attached along lower edges of each, and wherein said vertically-oriented attachment regions are separated such that a space between the base fabric sheet and primary pocket layer between adjacent vertically-oriented attachment regions define a primary secure-storage pocket.
