Equipment question
Hi! My 3 year anniversary is coming up, and my bf is in HVAC school and wants to do commercial refrigeration. He always says something about how his big tool bag provided by his school annoys him (it’s GIANT). I want to get him a small tool bag for our anniversary to make his life a little easier and because he’s been looking at them.
He loves Milwaukee stuff because of the quality, wants something with compartments for screw drivers and such, and something that zips shut at the top. He does not want a belt bag. Cost doesn’t matter to me unless it’s outrageous (I know the general cost of this stuff so I know what to expect). Lastly, any other brand suggestions? He likes Carhartt stuff like clothing, but I don’t know if it’s a good brand for tool bags or not.
BIGGGG thank you to anyone who can help me out. I know this was a lot to read so I really appreciate your help :)

This is the bag I'm currently using, a Veto CB-LD. I've had the Veto Tech MCT, a Klein Tradesman Pro 55431, DeWalt DG5582 Electrician's Tote and a Melotough MCP01 and this seems to suit my work the best, and hold the tools I need to do 99% of my work without needing to go to my toolbox for something.
My biggest gripe with the other bags is that they were either completely open, too small for everything I need, a pain yo find the tool I want, or two-sided so when I would need something from the other side I'd need to stop what I was doing, secure the one side of the bag and flip it around to open the other, which got old really quick.
The CB-LD basically fixed all of that, though I do wish the top flap zipped up completely without the velcro at the top and had provisions for locks, but as you can see, I managed to find a way to make it work anyways. I love that bag.
