Good quality, cheap, open tote type toolbags - recommendations?

I'm looking to buy 3 tool bags, and do away with the old plastic parts
bins I use for joinery tools and plumbing tools (and the little heap
somewhere for electrical tools).

I really like the open tote type bags - fairly rigid, with lots and
lots of narrow vertical tool pockets (because I'm always needing to
borrow just one thing from one of the other kits).

So - I'm looking for excellent quality, with a reasonable price when
buying 3 of them.

I really like the FatMax ones - too expensive.

B&Q currently have a basic Stanley one on offer for 15 quid, and a
DeWalt for 17 quid - both half the original price. Still - multiply
that by 3, and it's more than loose change.

Anyone seen a top deal they would recommend?

Why bother buying an open topped bag when a plastic bucket is so much
more affordable and get tools out ofable?

Get a bag that has a lid. I bought a wheeled suitcase from a car-boot
for £2 which is more than adequate, superior to the Ryobi bag I had
been using and has an handle for dragging should it even need to be.

The worst buy I ever had was the plastic upright tool box a fashion
now mirrored in many DIY shops. It was virtually uncarriable and too
small to house a saw. The upper part was OK if you had a place to
store the bottom. But then the bottom was Total crap = no handles, too
small for anything useful, too flimsy for heavy tools; unusable and
open to the elements.

For rough old masonry tools - ideal.

For nice joinery tools and instruments, I want something like I've
described.

I'm using a new Irwin. Big enough that I can barely lift it when
loaded. Straps a bit poor, but the bag's good. Decent internal
pockets.

Best of all, just 13 quid from No Frills DIY (Clearance shed for
Focus)
