Top 8 Electrician Backpacks of 2025 That Get the Job Done

2. CLC Work Gear PB1133 Tool Backpack

If you like your tool bag a little more compact but still packing a punch, the CLC Work Gear PB1133 might just be your new sidekick.

It's got 38 little pouches perfect for your smaller tools, and while it's not quite as rugged as that Klein beast, it's still tough enough for the job---and way less bulky. So if you're not hauling around giant wrenches of doom, this bag's got your back.

The outside tool pockets and tape measure loop make grabbing what you need a breeze---no more digging to the bottom of a dark bag like you're on a treasure hunt. And bonus points: it comes with a rain cover, so your gear won't get soaked if the weather turns grumpy.

Specs:

Weight: 6.66 lbs (yes, very metal)
Size: 18 x 13 x 7 inches
Material: 1680D ballistic polyester (yep, still pretty sturdy)
Max load: 84 pounds---pretty impressive for a "lighter" backpack
Compartments: 2

Cool stuff:

✔️ Rubber bottom that keeps it upright and drama-free
✔️ Rain cover for when Mother Nature's not on your side
✔️ Outside pouches for grab-n-go tools

What's great:

Slimmer and easier to carry than bigger bags
Handy exterior pockets for fast access
Rain-ready and job-site friendly

What's meh:

Not great for super long tools (sorry, mega screwdrivers)
Tools in the outer pockets might get knocked around a bit
