Veto pro pacs

View the thread, titled "Veto pro pacs" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

Nope. Never work for builders etc. if I'm on a job with other guys they're usually ones I know and trust.
 
Envy you, but it is where the big deals are for me. I don't do builders either, they are huge parasites, i never understand why anyone would want them to project manage a build, normally home owners without a clue
 
These bags are brilliant!
just brought the Tech-LC and got the TP3 for free.
The only thing that I can think of to make this better is if they did custom made pockets.
This bag is built to last, also it's designed with the user in mind, well worth the money.

Come to the job with this and they know you're a pro.
 
Really want to get one of these finally a pocket for each tool sick to death of rooting round my bag trying to find what I need.

Can't decide between the LC or XL my work is maintenance thinking the LC with all my everyday tools keep it light and have an overflow bag/box for the bigger tools/ tools I don't use that often?

Anyone own the LC?

to be fair most of the time I end up carrying a few tools with me into the job so thinking the LC makes more sense, lot of money as people have said but don't mind spending the dosh if it's going to last and help me keep my tools in order.

Ive ve got the LC and would recommend this one, but it all depends what line of work you're in.
Im a boiler engineer and I only need a certain number of tools when on a repair. Even with a few tools this bag becomes very heavy, and I prefer not to always use a shoulder strap unless I've parked a fair distance from the site. I always prefer to just carry it in one hand, but if possible have a look at both at a retailer.

Cheere mate how much did you pay for yours if you don't mind me asking?
 
I've got tech lc. Had for about a year and still going strong after service and site work. Fit spray cans and large items one side and tools in other. Drop of silicon on zips helps. I binned the strap first day
 
Been rocking mine for a year I think now and it's still going strong. You won't regret it and the cost is worth it.

I think your all mad spending £150 on a toolbag. I bought one of these 3 years ago its been through a car crash which did crack the side but it was still ok but yesterday the zip went so I thought i would replace it as it has paid for itself really and works out just over £11 per year are these veto ones going to last 13.5 years? Even the fat max open totes last for a year you can pick them up for £30 so thats will they last for 5 years? I will stick with the cheaper ones and buy a new cheap one when needed.

its personal choice, some people think its a good idea to buy a designer t shirt for £100, or an iphone for £500.
 
I wouldnt buy anything based on brand alone and as far as im concerned veto propack is not a brand that will bring any kudos. I do believe in only buying and using quality tools. Sometimes that means swallowing what it costs to buy well designed quality items. The veto propack I own was £180 it is an excellent tool. And worth the money too me. If I could get one for less or a product that performed as well then I would but you cant buy them cheaper and as yet I have found no tool carrying product better. All of course imho.
 
I've had a stanley tote since I started my apprenticeship, that was 5 years ago now and its still going strong
 
It's the Plain XL. Other side has my pliers, spanners, wrenches and leak spray. Got an OT-XXL as well for bashing boilers only. Every tool does have its own pocket as I trimmed bag down to have just what I needed only hence two bags for different roles. When it had everything in for both jobs it weighed a ton.
If you watch some YouTube vids for bag reviews they have them crammed so full it's a wonder they don't have a permanent bad back.

I think that is the reason that people get through tool bags/boxes so quick. As long as you dont overload them and dont throw them around most bags will last over a year which for £30 is good enough for me.
 
Well it's arrived and I've used it in the field for a day do far and loving it.... But wow it's heavy empty and it's built to stand the test of time.

I got the lc tech as 99% of my work is maintenance and found this size to be perfect, made me cull some of my tools and put in what I actually needed to keep it light.

great bit of kit and looks the part, only problem is I don't want to get it dirty!
