Veto Pro Pac Model XL Tool Bag

The Veto Pro Pas is the tool bag to own if you want to stay organized and keep track of your tools. With the sides down I can glance at the bag and know if I'm missing a tool. This is not a light weight bag by any means, however my tools are secure and they stay dry. I can set this bag down in an inch of standing water without getting my tools wet. The material is Heavy Duty and the zippers are smooth as silk. Just to give you an idea I replaced 3 tool bags with the Veto XL. Yes it's heavy, about 45 lbs "+", however I have everything I need to get 85% of my work completed without having to climb down the ladder and go back to my van. My co-workers make do with their "Crescent Hammers" pliers and a short list of tools. I can get the job done with the right tools because I have what I need! I really like the suit case style handle it's very stable and handles the load with comfort that you wouldn't expect from a heavy tool bag. There are velcro pads on each side of the handle which allows you to attach the strap to one side of the handle or the other, this secures the strap from dragging on the ground. I also appreciate how all the tools are in a vertical position, very easy to see and remove from their pockets. I'm an HVAC/R Journeyman Technician, I'm in this bag everyday so I can tell you it's the one to have. My friend showed me his 3 year old bag and I was shocked, I could see visible signs of wear and tear but his Veto XL still has many miles to go before it's retired. Consider the price of a tool bag and the life you get out of it, I usually pay $60.00 for a particular bag I purchase from the supply house. I go through at least 1 bag a year that's, 180.00 bucks over a three year period "without a warranty". I have a 5 year warranty, don't pay attention to the reviewer that says they have lousy service, it's obvious he didn't fill out the warranty card when he purchased his bag. I carry a Bosh 12v impact driver, a drill case up to 1/2", nut setters from 1/4"-1/2", extensions, various tips and a small case for stake on terminals, wire nuts and screws, plus all the pockets are filled and that's just one side. Believe me there is plenty of room in this bag. If you have to take your tools mobile on a roof top, a cat walk or a long walk this is the best tool bag for the job. The strap is big and well padded so the heavy load isn't that bad. If you purchase the Veto Pro Pac tool bags you'll be way ahead of the game! Read more

Great bag. We own several for our company. Durable. Manufacturer's warranty department is great to work with. Sturdy zipper, ample space and plenty of pockets. Read more

This is by far the best bag I have ever owned. Ive been a plumber, carpenter,framer and finally...electrician. If i had this bag when i first started in the construction industry, it would have made things much more simple for me and probably saved some tools from being stolen as well. This bag is not complex but rather well-built with the pockets in the right places. The easy viewing of your tools at a distance is a great plus. I really like how the bag pulls the weight of all the tools to the center instead of spreading it out. Dont be fooled however, This bag will be heavy when it is filled but anyone who needs a bag like this should know that already. I do have a couple of slight irritations and they have to do with the flaps. Each flap has 2 zippered pockets on the outside to store light things such as pens and things of that nature. The bottom pocket is slightly bigger than the top and could hold a bit more. The problem is that when you try to fold these flaps when they have the most smallest of items, the flaps dont fold very well in order to buttom them up. Now you can just leave the flaps outright and not worry with folding them up but this is one of the details i enjoyed about this bag so i dont see myself utilizing those outer pockets very much. The other is that the buttons seem to be difficult to maneuver to lock. This may just be a problem i am having but i seem to spend just a little more time on them than i would care to. This is about as much as you will hear me complain about it. I would have given this bag 5 stars just because it is the best bag i have ever owned by far, but, it is not absolutely perfect (by no fault of anyones). I will await future ideas by this maker as they have the right ideas with genuine quality attached. Read more

Veto PRO PAC makes the best tool bag out there. I say this after years of using many other brands and designs. You won't regret this purchcase. The XL is the perfect size for plumbing service calls. If you have pride in your work and tools then this tool bag is for you. I bought this bag December 2009. After reading some of the other reviews I belive that they have corrected some of the issues that affected the older bags. The handle is tough yet comfortable and the bag is set up to keep all your tools organized and within quick reach. I do agree with one reviewer who complained that tools catch on the plastic backing along the top row when pulling them out and the plastic should be extended to the bottom of the tool pocket, however, knowing this I don't put tools that catch on the plastic backing in the upper row. I am now at the point where I "know" where all of the tools are and I can reach for them without looking and get what I need. This is a great accomplishment, no more stabbing my fingers or digging for my smallest wrench. The name says it all, this bag is for pros. Read more

Hands down BEST toolbag ever!!! My husband is an electrician and carries many tools with him every day. He had the VETO PRO PAC model that is one size smaller than this one and it lasted him years (10+)!!!!! The shoulder strap finally broke so I decided to upgrade his pro pac this past Christmas. At 1st he thought this one was too large, but I tell ya what....he has managed to pack it full. It is perfect. There is a spot for everything and it is so easy for him to find the tool he is needing. Very well constructed!! I do write reviews for items I have received at deeply discounted rates. However, I purchased this item at full price without promise of a review. I write reviews to help others make informed decisions. It is my sincere hope that my review was helpful. If it was not, then please let me know what I left out that you'd want to know. I always aim to improve. Read more
