1. A tool bag structure having a fastener, comprising:
a fastener having a fastener body, the fastener body having a back extending and bending to form an n-shaped penetrating-fitting portion through a sheet metal forming technique, the penetrating-fitting portion having a top surface parallel to or higher than a top surface of the fastener body, the penetrating-fitting portion having a free end curving upward to form a pressing-through portion so as for an enclosed penetrating-fitting slot to be formed between the penetrating-fitting portion and the fastener body and adapted to contain a band penetratingly fitted to the penetrating-fitting slot, the penetrating-fitting portion having two edges each being concave to define a guiding slot, the fastener body having a front surface fitted to a front cover for masking the top surface and the front surface of the fastener body, the front cover having a front and a back, the front being higher than the back, the front cover being penetrated by a compression prevention hole, with a downward-pressing element disposed at a bottom of the front cover, the downward-pressing element having a surface abutting against a bottom of the compression prevention hole, the downward-pressing element extending to form at least a downward-pressing tab, with a snap-latching portion disposed at a bottom of the fastener body, with a resilient portion disposed between the snap-latching portion and the fastener body and adapted to resiliently push and cause the snap-latching portion to abut against the downward-pressing tab, wherein a surface of the snap-latching portion is elevated to form a snap-latching protrusion, and a gap is defined between the bottom of the fastener body and the bottom of the front cover to form an insertion hole for insertion;
a fastener accessory having a fitting portion, the fitting portion being centrally provided with a fitting hole and extending to form a snap-latching tab, the snap-latching tab having a snap-latching hole, wherein the snap-latching tab is inserted into the fastener via the insertion hole to push the snap-latching portion, and thus the snap-latching protrusion is snap-engaged inside the snap-latching hole, allowing the fastener and the fastener accessory to be fitted together; and
a tool bag having a tool bag body with a plurality of containing units for containing tools, the tool bag body having an upper edge extending to form a coupling edge, with an enclosed ring-shaped structure formed by the fitting hole and the fitting portion, wherein the coupling edge is passed through the fitting hole and folded so as to be coupled to a back surface of the tool bag body, allowing the fastener accessory and the tool bag to be fitted together.
