[ih1]

My old faithful Stanley fatmax tool bag has seen better days and is due an upgrade. What are use lads using these days

Veto pro pac........

 

[Roger Welton]

I agree vetos are great, I just wish id gone for the OT XXXXXXXXXL as i seem to carry so much rubbish around.

 

[Rabbitman]

I opted for the tech lc, bought it for my previous job but nowt fitted, but perfect for new job would be lost without it

 

[ih1]

150 large ones for a tool bag. The misses would have me sleeping the shed

 

[Rabbitman]

You shouldn't put a price on quality lol.........

 

[Rybo_1]

Don't let the price of the veto scare you! In the time I've had my ot-XL I would have gone through 3 of the 45 quid tote bags I was using before. And it still looks brand new!

 

[AWheating]

I agree, my veto cost the price of 4 of the bag I used to buy before, but I used to buy 2 a year of those sometimes three. My veto is over 3 years old and still in great condition.

 

[Masood]

Veto do look amazing but nobody seems to stock them!

Beesley tools online shop, there's an offer on until end of June, if you buy a tech bag you can get a meter bag worth £40 for free.

 

[Roger Welton]

The meter bag is good also I use it for breakdowns all the time

 

[Geyser]

Only saying yesterday must have had my veto tech lc for couple of years now. Used hard and still undamaged and going strong.

 

[cdodds2004]

blue British gas tool box for me. they are great and double up as a step

 

[Roger Welton]

Thats the one thing i miss having changed over to a tool bag, have started using my hoover as a step now but as its on wheels can be quite interesting!

I'm currently using a tote tray. I'm fed up with it though and probably going back to a open top bag.

 

[voivod]

Those are the exact 2 veto's I have, and set up in a similar way. The xxlf is a beast, when loaded at times I have to sort tools and odds and ends out of it so I can lift it again. You don't need free weights if you own an xxlf. And once you try a veto you won't buy another brand unless they radically up their game.

I fancy one of those tech ones, looks a handy piece of kit! ive got a british gas brief case type one at the moment, would have to try and flog that first efore I could afford to fork out £150 for one tho!!

 

[JCSPLUMBING]

What are the new fat max ones like? I've seen em for £30 and am tempted

 

[BN9Pete]

I use this type by Stanley for my everyday hand tools, I bought it about 8 years ago for about £5.



I have a Stanley Fatmax XL that I keep in the van for heavier tools and tools not used everyday.

I have that same tray for my everyday stuff. I'm looking at upgrading to a bag

I have adapted my tray with cut down inhibitor and water bottles to carry smaller tools and bits.
I tried using the Fatmax for a while for everyday use but I found it too heavy, I was also carting around stuff I only used now and again.

If the plastic Stanley tray broke tomorrow I would definitely buy another one, i do loads of small jobs in occupied propertys and it's easy to carry around.

 

[Kelso1967]

It really depends on what you are using it for I mostly do servicing, so I use a ck magma technicians case

I also have a ck magma tool tote that I keep all my pipework tools in

Both bags are pretty sturdy

 

[kay-jay]

Them stanley trays last me about 3 months.
They do a heavier duty one with a metal handle. Much more durable.
That said im waiting on the veto to come back in stock. Gonna rush me 160 notes

Whilst I was in Swindon Friday I purchased the penultimate one they had..... Sorry about that.

 

[CXR100]

any good? any pics of it full?

 

[kay-jay]

Dont worry gasmanrob it wasn't your fault. Im waiting for a man size version. Not the hairdressers handbag that you have purchased.

 

[R.Oak]

I just got a Veto Pro Pack XXL F and im seriously impressed. Upgraded from a Stanley Fatmax as it was getting frustrating with trying to find things, i frequently had to empty half the bag just to find one tool.

The price does seem a little steep at £180 but i felt like treating myself 🙂

 

[Rabbitman]

I got the tech lc and have used it daily for the 11 months and it still looks brand new....... The Blue CK cases i used to use would be in tatters by now

 

[abc_plumb]

Tec Lc perfect size for the everyday boiler repairs.
Had it for over a year now and still in top condition.

 

[Millsy 82]

For breakdowns I used to use a fat max tool organiser. Only cost £45 and lasted 2 years it was only flying around the back of my car at high speed when I totalled it that it died.

 

[Matty7]

fatmax for me very reliable and good value for money. Had several over the years. At no fault of their own but each one took a hammering before needing replacing.

 

[kris]

I've tried most over the years, open closed, box, tote, now I'm back to canteliever box as easy access..

Cantilever Style 5-Tray Tool Box-22" (BT.13A)

 

[Matty7]

I like the tote bags but find they don't last that long
