THE ULTIMATE TOOL BAG GUIDE (+ Special Guest)| Thomas Nagy

[@truffle8398]

Ever thought about putting AED defibs in your vans? Eazy to use and could save yours or someone else's life. Especially on the bucket truck if you are working near highways or railways. Can even do half day training sessions on its use if your not confident.

[@rkan2]

Not bad idea though I dunno if the wall mountable ones are certified for permanent vehicle mounting (vibration and temperature)

[@truffle8398]

@@rkan2 yes they are suitable for vehicles. Ambualances carry them. Network rail vans also carry them in there vehicles, they have signs on the outside of the van "AED inside"... :)

[@rkan2]

@@truffle8398 But I was thinking if there are different versions for vehicle and indoor mounting..

[@thomasnagy]

That’s not a bad idea, I’ll have a look into it!

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

thanks for this great suggestion - recommend a training centre in the london area?

[@Ozbert]

Quite like the Tech Pack. When I worked on the Railway, I used to have an orange Hi-Vis' back pack and loaded it it up to trudge trackside (which can be tricky underfoot). It was more stable than trying to carry a case and having to keep swapping hands. I did come unstuck once when walking up an embankment and the high centre of gravity caused me to topple backwards and in trying to save myself from landing backwards, I hopped back with one leg and put my back out, because the mass just wanted to keep going down hill and created a lever of my spine. In summary - it's good on the level, but there can be some tricky accesses around the Railway. Good luck and take care.

[@TomWhi]

I like how neat James is with his bag, just as OCD as Tom by the looks of it.

[@mikeZL3XD7029]

Well put together video, guys! James is quite hard-case. It's amazing just how many options there are these days for tool bags for electricians. When I first started as an apprentice, I was made to make up a tool box, out of timber, this was not only so you had something to put your tools in, it was so your Boss could see how good your wood-working skills were, or not. One of the older sparkies made comment saying "You can't fit a broom in that!!"

[@Oli_Hudson]

I recently bought a Veto Pro Pac Tool Bag TECH-LC - bloody brilliant bag! Amazing quality and well designed!

[@thomasnagy]

Very good purchase!

[@fredrikfriisnielsen6243]

I love my veto tech ot-mc, perfect balance between small enough to be light ish, and big enough to do 80% of what I do. When I need a bigger tool or just need to carry lots of stuff I use the Hultafors tool buckets. I keep two on the van and use them all the time!

[@Russwig]

Things have progressed so much. Back in the 80's when I was doing Medical X-Ray field service, the only oprions were Jensen or Platt tool cases ($$$) or your standard tool flip-open tool box with lift out tray. I also carried a Flambeau Artist's case (now marketed as a Medical Drawer Cabinet, also $$$) to hold fuses, butt splices, crimp on connectors, commonly replaced parts, and some small hardware bits and bobs. Thanks for the Show and Tell.

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

I work as a "handyman" at the mo & I have found that having seperate bags for specific jobs is great.... I do plumbing /carpentry /electrical /(within my limitations) tiling etc.... & I will NEVER have a "do-all " bag / tote... I think different bags work in different situations, I would rather carry one big bag up to a flat than constantly run up & down for tools I left out of a small bag... YMMV... 😎👍☘️🍺

[@SuperJS1990]

For this style of content, really enjoyed the #SpecialGuest, definitely be keen for more of the same

[@CairanMw3]

My first veto was the tech-lc. The issue I had was that you can easily overload it. Sold it and bought a Tech-Pac and had the same issue but as the bag was bigger it made the problem worse. Now I use the Velocity Rouge 9.0 service bag for gas jobs, appliance servicing, and gas tightness testing. The Veto TP-XXL for air con fault finding. The Veto OT-MC for brazing. The Velocity Rouge 3.5 for small reactive jobs, just throw in the tools and parts I need for that job. The Velocity 1.5 Van bag, used it for over a year and couldn't go without it now. I'm a commercial HVAC enginner hence the need for various bags.

[@Chris_In_Texas]

This is funny, as a photographer, I feel what you guys go through as well with your obsession with bags/totes. I have a hard time complaining to the Mrs about all her purses when I have a few closets full of backpacks, wheel bags, belt bags, travel cases, etc for camera and video gear. Always the best to have a 50lb full bag and have to act like its only about 15 lbs when you just lift it up and drop it in the plane's overhead so it doesn't attract attention of the airlines with overweight bags. But then when you have $40K worth of gear in a single bag its not being checked! 👍😁

[@mfx1]

Cutting through a live wire was how sparks used to turn their cutters into combination cutter/strippers, my dad had a pair and back then it was uninsulated handles as well.

[@sterlingarcher46]

James , for the Veto TPXL : there's actually a smal D-ring on the shoulder strap , you can mount a small carabiner clip to it and then attach the shoulder strap to one of the side D-rings , that'll keep the shoulder strap off the ground and you can be as lazy as me and not have to move it yourself 👍happy days mate !

[@projectbuild9784]

Actually been pretty impressed with the B&Q Macallister bags. Quality seems way above the price. Also a big fan of the toughbuilt pouches. They do a tote bag which is similar to the Sortimo one you showed and allows a pouch to clip on the end. Downside is it tips over the tote bag because it is a smaller size bag and the pouches get heavy fast.

[@thomasnagy]

I can see that being a issue, it’s very easy to overload those little pouches

[@mfx1]

Railways may require you to have bags that can quick release (in case it get caught on a train) and in Orange HiViz colours but depends where you're working worth checking before buying.

[@dragade101]

If you find some molle pouches that suit a specific size and grouping of tools; that is a nice way to customise and build out semi custom organisation. Granted this is a bag in/on a bag and adding a fair amount of density (so choose wisely how much you want to add) but sourcing from military/police supplier for a well organised pouch is tapping into a much larger R&D with many more testers than the trade industry (IMO).

[@mrergeone]

Drinking game idea.. do a shot whenever Tom says super

[@PhilC184]

I'd need a liver transplant :)

[@nbmrbluesky3688]

The toughbuilt 18” tote is amazing and its like £50. Holds 99% of everything i need and the pouch it comes with is perfect for a multihead drill driver and charger.

[@OfficialiGHazee]

I Live up in sheffield & basically cover anything above sheffield for Fire & Security. Majority of our jobs are Commercial or industrial so Ive stuck with a CK Electricians tool bag for testing & any small works/install I have a Dewalt Tstack with organiser's. Works perfect for myself however been thinking about getting something smaller for testing so this is a great video Tom. 👌

[@howtobuildaneventsite4467]

If your working in the bucket truck you should be looking at getting tool lanyards specially for your drills They are the last thing you want to drop from high

[@Ratgibbon]

The Veto meter bag is great if you're troubleshooting controls a lot in PLCs, HVAC, etc. I can do 90%+ of that kind of jobs with the tools I'm carrying in it.

[@paultipton743]

Most of my work is housing association electrical maintence so I brought a Ck backpack for day to day stuff as my old ck magma bag was showing its age falling apart. I also just brought the velocity rogue 6 at the elex show as sometimes the back pack isn't enough and I agree it is heavy

[@Lo7q7le7guste7mrtf]

One thing I find important is if they have light reflective surfaces like for the worksites where there is traffic.

[@callummckenna8470]

Veto backpack is spot on for railway work can be walking miles down track to we’re your working so its ideal , most of the lads I work with have one .

[@thomasnagy]

I’m glad to hear James made a good purchase!

[@MB-mh9oh]

Looking at the "sustenance" bag that looks to be a fantastic sized bag for Fire Extinguisher testing. The largest tool tends to be the digital scales so carrying your tags and O rings in the middle wouldn't be an issue.

[@allthegearuk]

The issue with the sortimo tote is that the proclick adapters don't hold the tool bags in place. They slot in but they don't click and are not held like they are on a tool belt. So if you knock them they will come off. The bosch tote with the proclick belt buckles attached is a better option in my opinion as it actually holds the pouch properly.

[@allandewar]

You really need to check out Velocity’s up to date full range of tool storage bags.

[@robinhadley]

I'm a fan of the Bahco stuff but it helps that orange is my favourite colour 😀

[@ashtonbainbridge-welch997]

Switched from a Milwaukee backpack to the veto tp-xxl a few weeks ago. Build quality is far superior and pocket layout is much better. My Milwaukee backpack used to topple forward as well and it would drive me insane

[@justinsalam6530]

Tesco bag for life 👍

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

Great display on bags for the correct job

[@sparkyman4155]

Next vid suggestion the perfect cary in pouch and whats inside😂

[@danstoolroom7700]

Hi Tom Dan here from Dans tool room. I work on my channel with epicair probably the biggest supplier of veto bags. Ill have a word and see if they will send you one. That said i have the black out edition which is better because yoy can change the inserts inside to suit whatever you want. Aka meter pockets, laptop pockets, called a v swap system. Also i use the mb3 bag for cctv testing its a really great bag for that. If i ask and they say yes though the deal is that you have to give my little channel a shout out on your big one

[@TheFireAlarmChannel]

I use the veto meter bag (food bag) for my 550w label printer works perfect

[@jimandali0]

CCTV and alarm systems are now interactive with laptops, so here’s my fav Tool-bag - STANLEY FMST1-80149 Fat Max Laptop and Tool Bag - Black £30 Amazon

[@sparx2391]

The biggest floor with sortimo, is they are ridiculously overpriced. CK bags fall apart within a couple of years. Had my Vito tech Xl (£180)for 8 years, and still going strong.

[@David-ju4il]

Just bought the Klein's 10 inch tote so handy for maintenance have the Klein's back pack do handy on site coz doesn't get dusty

[@BurpleRX7]

Good insightful video! As I was watching my girlfriend said how she spotted you mid week around town but not london! Excited for that content

[@sterlingarcher46]

Mans tryna get sponsored by Veto bruv 😅 good on ya Tom . James seems like a tool nut just like me 👍

[@thomasward1713]

Really enjoyed this, and I’m in the market for a new bag as well so this really helped! On my second viewing now to looking at the ones I’m considering.

[@cliffgrexton3760]

Have you tried or can you get Klein tool bags if so what do you think

[@JBE]

The Veto Tech Pac is a brilliant bag for carrying lots of specialist electrical tools/meters. Again the Veto TP-XL is just great for domestic second fixing and board changes. Always nice to see another guys tools 🤩😉👍. BTW Tom, is James the new Dave/Tom? That's going back a few years and only OG Nagy viewers will remember. Great video guys.

[@allandewar]

Velocity rouge 2 is the best quick grab bag on the market today. Beautifullly made practical and designed by tradesmen 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@thomasnagy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@craiglawrenson8428]

The veto blows the rest away. Apprehensive with the price but never looked back. Cheap Stanley back pack fits my meter in and wander lead for EICR’s

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

I use a plastic bucket.... 😩

[@danielrobinson18]

Have a look at the veto mb3b for a meter bag, I’ve got one for mine and it brilliant for testing

[@alq1082]

James out presenting Tom there lol

[@JayTheSparky]

The Veto handle issue I’ve got a fair few of them and they all fall on the bloody strap and fall over 🤣

[@Adrianyoutubing]

Ive got the black out Tech pac. It is a sod, great bag but it is so so heavy even empty

[@Alchemetica]

Retractable handle, electric stair-climber bag with detachable compartments - ideal for inner city work where one has to park a distance from the job it can take all your gear and the motor makes easy work getting to the job and with driven stair climbing wheels multi floor buildings do not present a problem for the weight.

[@wingit8288]

is this a joke? lol got a link or name for one?

[@iheggis86]

Nice to see James feature more in a video… or is it a poison chalice, to be in Tom’s vids?, Will he leave like naynay & Dave?

[@bennyattar8862]

Tell us about those worktables the bags were sitting on.

[@paul_my_plumbs_uk]

Screwfix or b and q mcallister

[@Geeraffe]

contemplating the Velocity Progear Rogue 4.0 purely on Twiglet carrying capacity. Jeez I could kill for some right now.

[@doctordoomsnipes]

Tom, try some beehivevinyl bags. Theyre used alot in mining sites here in Australia. Theyre tough and you can get custom ones made up to suit your needs.

[@josephking6515]

What part of the country is James from? I had to turn Subtitles on to get what was being said and to be fair part of *my* problem is I have one badly blocked lug hole which makes hearing a tad difficult ATM. 👂🤚

[@tncorgi92]

I found him a little hard to understand at times and my hearing is fine. Maybe his mic is different from Tom's.

[@Horizon301.]

Wales maybe

[@1989Chrisc]

Veto all day long. Every bag they do, ive had 5 now

[@joemerry4735]

Great video 🎒

[@hasanucar5456]

I love this channel.

[@aidanleach7036]

Klien toolbag cannot beat it great for aprentices loads of pockets comfy but can fill really easy can fit impact and combi with batteries hit mine second hand had it over a year and but weighs 60kg full lmao

[@adamjones2025]

TOM, the latest video you uploaded is set as PRIVATE

[@thomasnagy]

There was a small error, it got released a day earlier. Do not worry, it will be live today at 4pm!

[@rowles13]

Milwaukee bag is perfect

[@RichardArblaster]

Great video 😎

[@dragade101]

"super fast" *takes two to unbuckle it* .... haha

[@thuggfrogg]

Somebody export the Velocity bag to the US, please!

[@peterl.deegan9059]

Sorry but first bag ideal for electric (at sea). I have my main klien tool bag. And horrible bank hiest money bag. I use the later to carry part. Switches, mcb light fitting etc. More of a grab bag for part mind you

[@tonynewton7902]

Get the Toughbuilt master electrician. Had mine 5 years and can do a lot more than the sortimo thing.

[@justinsalam6530]

Is the Veto pouch a TP4B??

[@brightside0970]

I have a similar ck backpack bag. It’s easier to use when you need to carry other things. For a round town. An you can’t park close, the only thing I found is that the zip broke on it all ready.. don’t know if anyone else has had the same problem

[@samdean2851]

Got a veto TP3 good quality… but a bit top heavy falls over easily👎🏻

[@carguillo1]

Tom ill buy that veto bag of you

[@andyclark1426]

No matter what tool bag I get it lasts about a year, I’m a train/locomotive technician and the tools carry cripple the bags

[@JensenPGATourDriven]

Hi Tom New sub , Thinking of doing level 2 electric at College and l come across your KZbin channel , Great Contact . And for veto pro mb3 bag , You could us in for equipment you exchanged and may be able to use , (sorted later bag). And if you didn’t know , from October 1sts to November 31st you can buy Veto Tech Mc bag and get free veto Mb2 blackout bag + other Offers with Different bags as well. Thanks Jensen 👊

[@noskills9577]

My god I hate tool backpacks - luckily I refuse to work in London so I’ll never have to use one 😂

[@ScottWayneJackson]

What language does James speak?

[@acorndogs904]

I've to be honest My tool bag was good in its younger days

[@C4mpblor]

Anyone else here not a spark? I love these videos but can only rewire a plug.

[@tncorgi92]

That's pretty much my level of competence too. I've got serious acrophobia so I have a hard time watching the videos where he's on tall ladders or in the bucket truck.

[@gregf9160]

[@treecutter1806]

No wonder you sparks cost so much you change bags like changing underpants!

[@tncorgi92]

I think it's like that for plumbers too. I had some work done at the house and the guy left this huge wrench on my porch. I spotted it next morning and called him, he said "it's okay, keep it, I already bought another one."

[@nerdofx]

Vetos are good bags

[@tony-yp6qk]

Another great and educational video as always tom 👍👌

[@davidlimacher676]

It’s like watching a shit version of the QVC channel 😂😂 good video though 👍

[@tncorgi92]

This is better than QVC, these guys have actual experience with the products they're showing.

[@acespark1]

Never buy a bag or tool box that is big because you will fill it up with to many tools ( because you can never have to many tools ) and you can't move it instead of portable it becomes transportable and even the van can't cope. 🐓🚚

[@IROCKID]

I’ve paid the big bucks to get 4 different Velocity bags shipped into Canada and was NOT impressed with them for the money, they didn’t carry half what my Veto bags did. Pretty disappointing.

[@jasonmart1081]

No wonder London rates are so high, there's probably over £1000 worth of bags there. That Veto Pro Pac alone is over £250!

[@texasproud3332]
