The removable tool tray can stow seven drivers snug inside elastic loops, and can easily Velcro in and out of the bag to go to your bench or pit space at the track. Reinforced carry handles in two locations offer comfortable carrying positions no matter what you’re transporting and the shoulder strap also offers a hands free carrying position for the ultimate in comfort and convenience.
