A little research shows the RRP is a bit of con, this bag is usually this price or lower, has been as low at 17.99 in the past.

Agreed. Often available in that general price area. The other thing I'd say is that having had two of them the stitching quality on the zip fasteners isn't really good enough - the thread quality is far too poor - and that the outside pockets are a bit fragile and easily cut. I threw away the flexible pseudo net on the top flap early on because it kept snagging on everything on job sites. TBH Milwaukee and deWalt bags fare no better, based on the states of colleagues examples. Still using mine as to date I have yet to find anything of the quality these things should be, although I have switched to carrying most order tools in Systainers and Makpacs

I've had this bag for about 2 years and it's been excellent. With me over loading the thing (as you do), I have been expecting the main carrier strap to snap but it's stayed strong. May have just cursed myself there..

The small side zip packets are a little useless as the zip is in the centre of the pocket :scratch: not at the top, so only half the pocket is useful (obviously subject to what's put in there). Minor issue for me though..

Bought mine from Amazon. Pretty sure it was £20..For that price you can't go wrong really..
