veto pro pac... who likes them?

Rich D. · Jan 22, 2012

I'm thinking about getting the veto pro pac xl... I'm tired of digging threw my bags and boxes for hand tools... That just never fit right.

Does anyone use them in your set up? Care to share pics and suggestions?

Them being $140+ I want to make sure its a good buy.. thanks

Don't you mean, "Who doesn't like 'em?" :laughing:
I'm pretty sure I will end up getting one myself.

Get the Lc, unless you want to carry lots of big bulky tools.

I will probably end up buying one. Really want an Occidental Dr Wood, but can't justify 400$ + . Love my Oxy 7 bag Framers with suspenders. Best nail bags I've ever seen.

I know a cabinet man who has a Veto and likes it. Looks durable

Love my XXL

So much money to put out up front

So worth it once that money is gone:laughing:

Cole82 · Jan 22, 2012

Yep as everyone has said you will love them.

I have the XXL because it can hold a 2' level, caulk gun inside it zipped closed. I also like the zip closed models because they don't fill with sawdust and snow.

The xxl looked insanely large? Is it?

They say there's a framing square holder also?

The XXL is very long and skinny just like the old school wood carpenters boxes.

The framing square stands up vertically through a slit. About 4-5" sticks up out the top of the bag.

I have a couple of these Husky units, at a fraction of the price, and I have no complaints. They hold a lot and have plenty of pockets.

I have the xxl open top model. I am about to buy another...love it. The open top models hold more. Sure, they get heavy but I do not care...the organization is impeccable. My buddy has the closed top model and I notice it never gets zipped up at the end of the day. I think he secretly wishes he would have got the open top..

Either way you cannot go wrong

Is the xxl to big? Sometimes do u wish u got the xl?

Robs660 · Jan 24, 2012

Ok. I'm a tool snob. Yes I have 2 of these. I have an XXL and I have the mid sized. I keep my electricians tools in the mid sized and keep everything in the XXL. I can fill that bag to the point where I can't lift it if I try. Nothing else worth buying in my book. My book also has tons of Festool and fein and hilti so I am a tool guy.

Won't regret the bag

i have the smaller zipper one and i dont know how much time it saves me from walking out to my truck to get small stuff all the time. i say this every time i buy a tool, but, best $ i ever spent.
you wont regret it once you have it set up.:thumbsup:

I like a nice expensive tool just as much as the next guy but the veto tool bags not never got me interested. But the bucket boss I got that I think was $15 holds more tools and are even easier to get to than the veto packs so I'm sure that's a main reason.

I will take a pic on iPhone of what I have in it now.

The Coastal Craftsman · Jan 24, 2012

Here's the bucket boss pics

Rich D. · Jan 24, 2012

You an electrician with all those screwdrivers :laughing:

I have use to have 2 of those bucket bosses but never grew on me... You can toss that around like a veto and expect everything to stay where it suppose to be...

The Coastal Craftsman · Jan 24, 2012

never had a problem with anything coming out of it in the last 2+ years. the pockets are pretty deep so the only way your gonna get a tool to fall out is to tip the whole thing upside down. whats nice is its not cramped with tools. every tool is within easy reach and your able to see them without diging to the back or bottom of the other tools. they aint all screw drivers. some are nut drivers.

Northwood · Jan 24, 2012

The only problems I have with the vetos are the cookie cutter tool holder shapes and like BCC says the hard to reach tools.

The veto basically has rows of the same shape. I find that the thicker tools have to go into the larger holes obviously but then the tool may fall into the hole because it's too deep. Keeping it organized is a job in itself but so far it's been the best option. At least I have all my tools organized in a fairly easy to reach spot.

Northwood · Jan 24, 2012

I wrote to veto saying I was a contractor who had some suggestions that may be useful. And also that I thought they should make a bag for cordless kits and some ideas regarding that- no response whatsoever.
Kinda lame. The owner preaches he was a trades person if I'm not mistaken. He obviously has a great product but wouldn't you at least listen to suggestions that may help make it better (and make you more money). If my suggestions are poor simply ignore them!

Rich D. · Jan 24, 2012

Don't worry northwood they were just mad they didn't come up with those ideas first :thumbsup:

veto pro pac... who likes them?
