HARD Racing, the Taiwanese brand, has announced the release of this rather nice and stylish tool bag. Despite the small size of the HARD Tool Bag, the inside has been designed to hold up to a total of 10 wrenches. Special attention has been paid making the bag as compact as possible to save space while taking extra care that the tools are safely stored. Inside the bag the tools are nicely presented and held securely in place wrapped in holders made out of styrofoam material. The same high quality protective material has been used for the middle part that separates the two sides of the tool bag and the tools from each other to make sure there is no risk of damaging the tools.
