When it comes to tool protection, not all bags are created equal. One of the most misunderstood features among tradies is the difference between “waterproof” and “water-resistant.” While both offer some level of protection, choosing the wrong one can leave your gear vulnerable on the job.
Waterproof: Full Protection
A waterproof bag is built to keep water out entirely, even in heavy downpours or complete submersion. For Plumbers, Miners, or anyone working in consistently wet environments, this level of protection is essential.
Water-Resistant: Partial Defence
Water-resistant bags, on the other hand, repel light rain or splashes but aren’t suited for extreme exposure. If you’re an Electrician or HVTech working indoors or under cover, this might be adequate—until you get caught out during an unexpected downpour.
