Makita 831373-8 Black Cube Tool Bag 10″

The Makita 831373-8 is a compact, well-thought-out Makita tool bag designed for tradespeople who need their kit organised and protected on the move. At 10″ cube, it’s a practical size for a drill, a few accessories, and the bits and pieces that always end up rattling loose at the bottom of a van. If you’ve ever arrived on site and found your drill bits scattered like confetti, the elasticated slots on this bag are going to feel like a minor revelation.

The bag is fully padded throughout, which means your tools are cushioned on all sides rather than just the base. That matters when bags get thrown in the back of a Transit or stacked under other kit. The padding isn’t just for show — it gives the bag enough rigidity to hold its shape and keep the contents from shifting around.

Makita Tool Bag Storage and Layout

Inside, you get three Velcro dividers that can be repositioned or removed entirely depending on what you’re carrying. Fitting a compact combi drill one day and a larger SDS the next isn’t a problem — just reconfigure the layout to suit. It’s a simple system that actually works, and far more useful than a fixed-pocket bag that forces you to work around it rather than the other way round.

The elasticated drill bit slots keep your bits sorted and immediately accessible without having to dig through a separate case. Small detail, but it saves time when you’re working at pace.

Carrying and Transport

The long shoulder strap lets you carry the bag cross-body, which is far more practical on a busy site than a short handle. It frees up your hands and takes the weight off one arm on longer walks between van and work area. The strap is a straightforward addition that makes a real difference over the course of a working day.

The exterior is made from a sturdy material that holds up well to the kind of treatment tool bags get in real working conditions. This isn’t a pristine showroom bag — it’s built to be used.

Whether you’re an electrician, plumber, carpenter, or general builder, a well-organised bag cuts down on time wasted searching for tools and reduces the chance of damaging expensive kit. The Makita 831373-8 keeps things tidy without overcomplicating it. It’s a solid choice if you want a dependable, properly padded bag that fits a power tool and its accessories without taking up half the van.
