I've owned this thing for about 6 months now. It holds all of my hand tools and stays organized. It has changed much of the way I work. I'd been looking for a way to keep my tools organized in the box of my pick up truck, and I tried one of those bucket bags, but was unimpressed. My tools just became a mess in the box, and I really couldn't easily bring them out to the job site. I started looking up other products, and came across these bags. They were pricey, but everyone seemed to love them. So, I pulled the trigger. Since then, it's been game on. This is my one stop for tools. I'll grab this bag and my drills and I can tackle most anything I need to. It stays tidy in my truck, and I bring the whole thing with me when I go work on something. It gets a little heavy, but the strap is really good. I wouldn't want to walk for a half mile with this thing but I probably could. It'd be better than going back and forth to the truck all day for tools. Nothing on it has broken, and I haven't lost any tools. There are only two downsides that I've come up with, and they aren't big enough to knock off stars, because I barely notice them now and am used to the bag. they are : The exterior pockets are more or less useless. I kept some wire nuts in one of the pockets for a while, but if the pockets have stuff in them the cool buttons that keep the flaps off the ground won't engage. I like the flaps off the ground feature enough to not use the pockets. If something comes off of a tool or you drop something, it's going to the bottom of the bag. While not impossible to get to, it is a pain. You can lose things at the bottom of some of the pockets, if you choose a tool for a space poorly or something. The little covers for my chisels are lost forever at the bottom of my chisel pocket, for example. Overall, I love this thing. It was worth the money to me. My tools are accessible and I'm more likely to have the tool I need nearby. If it takes me too long to find a tool, then the tool is useless to me. This bag keeps my tools nearby and easy to find, so they can make me money. BTW I'm attaching a photo I took while cleaning out my bag today of all the things I keep in it. Read more

Just like other reviewers I was skeptical... could a tool bag really be worth this much? Well, also like other reviewers, I can say it's 100% worth it. From top to bottom, this is a winner. The solid polypropylene base makes it safe to put down not only on wet pavement when you need to open your truck, but even in puddles or mud. With the sides folded down all of your tools are within easy reach - you can remove any tool and put it back without having to move other tools. Even with the sides folded down, the bag maintains it's shape due to the rigid center panel - the backbone of the bag. The handle is rock solid, and the strap is comfortable but durable. I'm fitting way more into this bag that I had in the similarly sized open top bag I had previously been using. If you're willing to sacrifice a pocket or two, your can easily store a subcompact cordless screwdriver, drill, or impact driver, from most any "12 volt" product line, and possibly even a parts box. I ended up replacing my parts box with two smaller boxes (approx. 3-1/2" x 4" x 1") that easily fit in the pockets. Things I think could stand some improvement: - Using velcro to keep the strap on the handle seem like a bad idea, especially for dirty or dusty environments; I'd like to see all their bags use the same clip on the strap that newer models use. However, I haven't had the bag long enough for this to be a problem. - Though the zippered pockets don't hinder use of the bag in any way, I consider them all but useless - unless you consider boosting the pocket count to be useful. They only really have room to hold something flat, and if you want your flat stuff to remain flat, don't put it in the outside zippered pockets - when you fold down the sides, the folds go right through the middle of the outside zippered pockets. Outside zippered pockets should be positioned so that the the folded sides fold between the pockets, not through them. - No seal between the fabric sides and the polypropylene base leaves a way for water to get into the bag, even if the outside water level is below the zipper level. Will this bag work for you? Probably. But if you're unsure, search through the countless pictures on the Internet and see just how many tools people are able to get into their Veto bags, then got for it. Really, you won't be disappointed. Read more

I bought this bag for my smaller electrical tool set to compliment the Veto Pro Pac XL I already have. It's much nicer having several tool bags because you can easily sort your tools by job and just grab the bag you need when a job arises rather than lugging around tools you don't need for the job. I am using the smaller bag for my electrical tool set (pliers, dikes, insulated screw drivers, wire strippers, crimpers, test meters, etc) but it only filled up one side so I filled the other side with a variety of open ended wrenches and a torx driver set. I love the Veto line of tool bags and know others who own them. All of us who own them would not trade them for any other tool bag on the market. They are truly made for the professional and are extremely rugged and durable. They stand upright easily, the base is waterproof so you can set it down in wet locations, the zippers are extremely heavy duty and the bag material is very rugged. I highly recommend this or any other Veto tool bag to anyone wanting the very best. Read more
