some people think the high cost of a product makes it better then most others that are a 1/4 of the price. And will justify the cost anyhow they see fit in their mind. i don\'t see the need to waste an entire days pay on a tool bag,
i met a mercedes salesman one time and he told me the real cost difference between their upper class models and the cheaper models was really only like 10 grand. But he said because a certain type of person would not be seen with the cheaper model they were able to mark it up almost 50 grand
An old Antique dealer friend of mine calls it "The Price of Ostentation"
If he stuck an old piece of furniture in the showroom for £50 it would probably never sell, but if he put it in for £500 he would be beating punters off with a muddy stick! Some think that if it is expensive it is worth while buying.
Festools are expensive but quality, service, etc make them a worthwhile investment.
I have gone a different route and my tiling kit is in a Sys4, site chisels in a Sys1, pliers, snips & electrical kit in a Sys1, etc,etc,
It is organised and works for me. The Occidental Tool Bag does look good but a hell of a price and it wouldn't suit my "system".
That is not to say it wont suit others and if they want to spend their hard earnt bucks on it, then so be it.
I still have a tool bag but it contains my paperwork, sandwich box and flask.
