The Veto Tech MCT BLACKOUT. (62)

This week I'm taking a look at the popular TECH MCT BLACKOUT.
A big thanks to epicair for sending me this bag up to review.
I only use Veto Pro Pac tool bags that fit in with the work I do as an electrician. This gives me the chance to really test out the bag and put it through some real world scenarios.

Hands down the best MCT review I have seen. You actually showed and talked about the bag instead of your loadout. Thank you sir!

[@JBE]

I'm glad you found it helpful 👍🏻.

Another great video James.

Cheers double D 👍🏻

First! Welcome back Beck!

[@JBE]

Hello there 🖐🏻

[@MalvernElectrics]

Brilliant review. I’m going to buy as my call out bag. Love it. Thanks.

[@JBE]

@MalvernElectrics Thanks for watching, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Have you got other Veto bags or will this be your first?

[@MalvernElectrics]

@@JBE I’ve got a TP XL, MB and MB3. Plus OC170. All my other stuff is Velocity. I really think mixing and matching veto and velocity is the way to go as they offer quite different things. Re Tech MCT I was looking for a small call out bag that would fit fluke T90 and clamp meters etc. lots of bags are either massive or too short. Just subscribed - going to watch back some more of your reviews. Cheers! 🫡

Veto Lunch box is on the way mate YEW! MCT is a wicked bag

[@JBE]

What!!!! Where......when??? Are you getting one? Can't wait to see you fit half a cow in it and a full fridge of beer 🤣.

[@vroom1013]

Comprehensive video as always James 👍. I’ve got the original MCT which does me well for my job as an HV maintenance spark. Wish the Blackout was out when I bought mine, but I don’t think I’ll upgrade just yet. I’ve also got the TP-LC as a home general tool grab bag and the OT-LC for my plumbing gear (bought after your review, as it happens 👍).

[@JBE]

Cheers Mr Vroom 101. My mate has the original MCT and he too is happy with it. The update to Blackout is not something he'll be doing either. Personally I've been working out if it for a few weeks now and can't fault it for the little beast it is. I too use the OT-LC for plumbing! Like other Vero bags it's perfect for all my water and pipe based tools.

[@klausdremml2941]

Super!

[@toby5961]

They just posted the new lunchbox on the recent catalog!!! I'm stoked brotha!

[@JBE]

I can't wait to see these!

[@JD-gi9pl]

I've got the original MCT. Love it. Wish it had the mesh pocket though. Ideal for sleeving and connectors

[@JBE]

I'm using it daily and that's exactly what I have in the mesh pockets 👌🏻

[@JD-gi9pl]

@J Beck Electrical I had a velocity before, which had a mesh pocket, and that's what I used it for. I get around it with the Veto by using the ck magma pencil case size bags for sleeving and connectors. Just hang them from a carabiner on the d rings. Love having two sides to the bag as well 👍

[@iri1088]

Awesome bag and review!

[@JBE]

Cheers 👍🏻 do you have Veto products?

[@iri1088]

@@JBEnot yet, i’m thinking of buying the MCT blackout version

[@Sparklife-UK]

Think this will be my next bag, have a TP XL at the moment which keeps falling over and a tech pac which gets too heavy, was holding out to see if they brought a blackout tech lc out this year but doesn’t look like they’re gonna so this one is now on my radar

[@JBE]

I hear you, the TP-XL can get a little top heavy with it's narrow base! I also loaded my Tech Pac Bkackout out to breaking point (my backs breaking point not the bag? I'm finding this a great medium sized bag and with the different panels you can change your load out and keep the same main bag. Personally I really like the tablet panel.

[@TruthSeekerAi]

i would buy the blank mct and put the tpxl in 1 side

[@MrREZUS]

Очень хороший, подробный обзор сумки! Спасибо! К сожалению в России очень дорогая сумка и привезти сложно...

[@JBE]

Couldn't agree more 👍🏻

[@Rob-zd2be]

I’m thinking of getting one. Just need to wait for a discount.

[@JBE]

Do you have any other Veto bags?

Do want a new bag and a smaller one for my second fix stuff, the big back pack i have is killing my back 😅😅. Ps you need to get some site videos, your dancing and good real life jobs were great 👍

[@JBE]

That's the trouble with having a big bag...you tend to fill it up with everything because you think you might need it and it'll save you a trip to the van/truck/site locker/shed/garage or Ford Escort Van in my younger years. After a few weeks of usage I can tell you this it just enough and keeps everything dust free from those other pesky trades with their sawdust and mud flying everywhere! I'll be back making an idiot of myself soon don't worry 😎

[@synthetictruth671]

Yknow i just got one and was thimoing, why do they sell the bulk storage if well.. its already a completely empty space with velcro, if you didnt want anything on it you could just line it with easily removable felt, idk just popped into my mind i might try it myseld 😂

[@jamesdrewery466]

First of all, great review 👍 Do you think a megga mft will fit in the bulk pannel?

[@JBE]

I can confirm it does fit, I've had megger in the bag a couple of times. You just can't load out the mesh pockets too much.

[@jamesdrewery466]

Thats great, thanks for the reply 😀

[@jakeok741]

Will a m18/Dewalt 20V sized drill fit into the meter side panel if put towards the front of the bag and the neoprene pockets are folded back?

[@jakesites9799]

Yes, you can get a flat panel as well thats no pockets 3” wide

[@jakesites9799]

11” tall

[@Dibbo1979]

I didnt get a bottle opener with mine☹️

[@JBE]

Did you get it from epicair?

[@Dibbo1979]

@@JBE yes mate

[@tationut]

i’ve been looking for this video for a while also it doesn’t technically have a back or front because you can put the v swap panel anywhere you want right?

[@JBE]

Hope it was some help to you? Yes, the panels can move around, but only one side has the little velcro pocket. So I was calling that the front... I think 🤔. Cheers for watching. Have you got other Veto products, or is this your first time?

[@tationut]

@@JBE yea i just got a mp1x and love it tho i am finding myself wanting more screwdriver slots in it so i’m keeping a eye out on a mp2x do you have any experience with me mp1x or mp2x or any of the mp pouches?

[@KevSparky92]

Do you reckon it would fit a Megger MFT with leads ect in one side?

[@JBE]

Hmm let me check and get back to you on that. I'm sure it will.

[@KevSparky92]

@@JBE thanks what would be great, I need a new bag for eicrs and remedials and would love to have my hand tools in one side and my test kit in the other
