A tool bag for transporting a plurality of tools and for positioning over construction apparatus is provided. The tool bag includes a first storage section and a second storage section, at least a flexible cover and a handle. The first and the second storage sections are pivotally connected to each other so as to generally define an upper hinge region. The first and second storage sections are separable so that they can be disposed on opposite sides of the construction apparatus, and being movable into close proximity with one another to enable the tool bag to be carried in a more compact configuration. The flexible cover is constructed and arranged to cover the associated compartments of the storage section. The upper portions of the cover are constructed and arranged to be removed from covering relation while lower portions of the cover remain attached, thereby exposing the compartments.
