20-Inch Soft-Sided Tool Box

The Porter-Cable 1579 is an open-top, soft-sided tool box designed for tradespeople and DIY users who need organised, portable storage for hand tools. It measures 20 inches long by 11 inches wide by 11 inches high and provides a large central compartment plus 27 total pockets.

Padded Strap and Foam Grip Handle

A padded adjustable shoulder strap and a sturdy metal handle bar with a moulded foam grip give two comfortable carrying options. The soft-sided construction keeps the empty weight low at 2.313 kilograms while the open top allows quick visual access to contents.

Adjustable Partition and Pocket Layout

A removable adjustable partition slides into the main compartment to create custom sections for different tool sizes. Twelve exterior pockets, fifteen interior pockets and six web sleeves hold items securely, while an electrical tape strap and tape measure clip keep frequently used accessories ready.

Questions about this item

How do I adjust the removable partition inside the 20-inch soft-sided tool box?

Slide the adjustable partition along the interior tracks until it locks into the desired position to create custom compartments for your hand tools.

Which parts of the 1579 tool box are most likely to need replacement after heavy daily use?

The padded shoulder strap, foam grip on the metal handle bar, and the 27 pocket fabric panels endure the most wear and may require replacement over time.

At what load does the adjustable shoulder strap on this 20-inch tool box become uncomfortable during sustained carry?

The padded adjustable shoulder strap is designed for comfort, but loads approaching the 2.313 kg assembled weight plus a full complement of tools will strain the shoulder during extended transport.
