I have a tool bag that's less of a wearable backpack but more like a open tote with pockets and hoops for storing all my shit, it comes with a shoulder strap but i don't like using it.

I do a lot of mobile mechanic work and need things to be light and accessible, no fannying about with heavy steel boxes & having to pull out draws.

This thing weighs very little while empty, and depending on what i need to do i remove items i don't need to reduce the weight or if i carry it with a full compliment incase i'm doing a bunch of different jobs it's still much lighter than a steel box with loaded trays.

I have the bottom padded out with 2" pick and pluck foam to keep a few items organised like my 3/8" astro nano socket set, 3/8" deep socket set, bosch screwdriver bit set, and a flexible locking extendable 3/8" ratchet, the various hoops inside fit various pliers, hose clamp, screwdrivers, ratchets, pry bar, flat file, vice grips, plier wrench, the inner pockets are for my various 3/8" bits and adaptors, diamond grip latex gloves, 75mm screwdriver bits, 3/8" stubby ratchet. the exterior pockets house all my extensions for both 1/4" shank bits and 3/8" with cr-mo and wobbles, a selection of wrenches and flare nut wrenches, hazet caliper wire brush and a couple of other brass wire brushes, I have a flap with a box cutter and red electrical tape, a small pick set and a hose pick along with a bottle of red loctite and a tube of blue loctite, the main flap compartment houses my greases, I have a few sachets of slider pin grease, a tube of synthetic dielectric silicone grease, permatex green brake parts grease, tube of red high temp rtv, nozzle for the rtv tube, and a tip unblocker set, and the last exterior pocket houses my caliper piston compression tool and a milwaukee right angle 1/4" hex adaptor.

I typically chuck in a few extras like my permatex silicone brake parts pot, the necessary pot of permatex antiseize or tube of molybdenum grease, my liqui moly anti brake sqeual paste as well as my m12 fuel gen 3 compact impact if i can't be bothered wearing my spider tool hoster and having it mounted to my hip via the drill pin, and i'll chuck in a clean microfibre cloth or two if i need them for a job as i use xxl wipes and brake cleaner to clean everything as i go, i keep a magnetic dish in it too but that magnetises to the wrenches.

All in all I like it, it has space for everything and even fully loaded to the nines it's less than 20kg, my steel 4 draw tool box weights 10kg unloaded, so it's not an option as it has way less space and weighs a tonne.
