Right- vs. Left-handed

In a hand-specific tool carry setup, here's how we typically lay things out:

  • Tool Bag (dominant hand side): Carries your main tools (hammer, knife, pencil).
  • Fastener Bag (opposite side): Holds nails, square, bits, etc.

Example:

  • If you're Right-handed: Tool Bag on your Right, Fastener Bag on your Left
  • If you're Left-handed: Tool Bag on your Left, Fastener Bag on your Right
