Don't Waste Your Money on This Veto Pro Pac Tech Pac!

We share a second look at my Tech Pac Backpack Tool Bag from Veto Pro Pac. After two years of using this back pack style Tool bag to carry my electrical tools to and from jobsites I can honestly say to you Don't Waste Your Money on This Veto Pro Pac Tech Pac!
We have what is "In my opinion" a much better option from WiHa, its their Wiha RedStripe 30 Piece Tool Kit.

Love my Veto bags. Its so hard to explain to people how much better they are than all of the other options. They are the very best.

[@joshuasechter5306]

Maybe you don’t have kids I don’t know but that is outrageously expensive for a bag, I’ve been using Milwaukee and Klein bags for years and have never ever had an issue finding a tool when I needed, this veto pro pack garbage is nothing more than gluttony on a grand scale, it probably costs them $28 to make those bags these people are wacked

An open top cradle style C.L.C. (Custom Leather Craft)...wore it out and got the Klein Back pack..was not happy how soon it caved and would not stand up no more...got another CLC but their back pack version and after only a month its starting to not want to stand up...anyway I'm a single dad of 3,so I usually do pretty well at tax time so if the offer is still available,I might just treat myself to the Veto/Wiha colab bag.seems very durable!!

[@jeroendesterke9739]

TERRIBLE PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE! My totally unused but old stock VETO XL's main zipper fell apart when I opened it for the very first time. Subsequently, the bag was deemed unserviceable by the repair department. Veto's customer services showed NO interest, neither did their CEO, James Brooks after sending him two letters with photographs of the damage. The handling of this matter is totally unacceptable for a company who prides itself on quality and USA manufacture. Please beware when buying their products as you might end up being very disappointed.

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

Spending on gear is very personal. Different topic, but I bought a photography backpack about 6 years ago. At the time, I thought it was crazy to spend over £600 for a bag. But it still serves me well. It protects literally thousands of pounds of gear, it's comfortable all day, loaded with over 20kgs of cameras, lenses, tripods, etc... So there's no right or wrong answer... Good review, carry on.

[@sam_millen]

This really seems like an advert...

[@sammiches6859]

I like to see all the people complaining about a $300 bag who don't realize that maybe some people think that's a small price to pay to protect $2-3k worth of tools, and the last thing you want is for your bag to come apart 50+ feet in the air or on a slope 6 stories up. I'm not in favor of intentional or unitnentional redistribution of wealth and liability, so I think it's worth spending extra on a bag more than anything except maybe Fieldpiece equipment and good pliers.

$300 for a backpack is ridiculous.

The price would be great if the daughter of veto or wiha ceo delivered the bag in your place herself and then giving you a really, really good suck and swallow😂 if that's not the case then as a technician myself I'm telling you, you will regret it plush if you have experience from inside few companies you can tell the cost about 35$ to 45$ in the worst case and they sell it 400$ to 500$ so.... be smart😅

[@eadc888]

I have a Veto TECH-MCT. The bag material is strong but there zips are rubbish. I’m on my second one as the first bag was returned on warranty because the zips broke (the zipper tap snaps). Not to my surprise, the zips have let me down again. For what you pay, this bag should last me years. Never again and I will climb mountains to steer all my workmates away from this shit. I’m not the only one at work as well. Another workmate has gone down the same path as me with the same result. Stick to something that has YKK zips and f**k Veto.

[@Foxtrot-jr5qu]

The bag does indeed looks nice and it does make sense that the Wiha with the extra tools would be a better option, but both my Milwaukee and Stanley Fatmax bags work pretty well depending on what I'm doing and if I need the bigger Milwaukee or the smaller Stanley. The Stanley also has reattachable tool slot compartment, which is very useful for me, because I can remove that part when I work and I won't have to dig up in my bag all the time. I've got both bags combined for around $150, which is around 1/3 of the price of the Veto Pro. I'd much rather spend the extra money on quality tools.

[@Jaredcouture12676]

I hope they paid you well for that advert. I have a veto bag personally and you would have to drop me on my head to pay 450 for that

[@orfatron]

Depends on the trade and person. It's a great reliable pack AND the big bonus is that it doesn't tip over ! Like every pack does ! . BUT as a refrigeration tech NO WAY, it's way to heavy , just the pack itself weights allot. Ref guys are always on the move, roofs, basements , restaurants, long walks in shopping malls , NO WAY , your back and shoulders will be done . Try maybe Klein or some other brand . It's to bad it really is a tough reliable pack.

They could include a knife but it’d be in “frustration free” packaging too.

-Veto MB3B is what I use for commercial refrigeration. -Fieldpiece BG36 for residential refrigeration -Milwaukee tech bag for HVAC sealed system work -Veto tech series & Milwaukee packout backpack used for tool storage and general usage. -Milwaukee open tote 15” bag for plumbing.

The small pouches up top on both sides are a waste. The bag is very big, there should be more useful pockets. I can’t fit 75% of what I can in my Milwaukee packout backpack, and I hate the packout backpack because it falls over. For $399 CAD (on sale) there needs to be more room.

1 year of part time use is never enough to assess the value of a Veto bag. Use it 2-3 years 40-60 hours on average and then you can give a value appraisal. The Wiha special bag is cool. If I an electrician were starting from scratch and people still did hot work that back would make more sense but honestly being safe and compliant on jobs these days means virtually no hot work. I have a little Veto MCT and I'm getting a new Veto Tech Pack LT for HVAC controls work. It holds laptop, accessories, cables, and meter in back part and tools in front part. Tired of carrying the laptop in a case and bag in hand and trying to use card reader on doors and put mask on and off. Plus I'll be able to carry stuff while having the bag on my back.
