The Veto TP-XXL Tool bag (48)

[@mactully322]

Thanks for taking the time doing the review, one of the best tool bag reviews I have watched on here.

[@JBE]

Thank you Mac Tully, glad you liked it. 👍

[@vincentjasonmorales]

Awesome review. Got the MP1, TP3B and recently the TPXL but didn't know of the TP-XXL until a few weeks ago. As a data and security tech I wanted meter pouches and this fits the bill perfectly. Holding bulky things like a multimeter, pair tester, Fluke toner and wand, M12 impact and soldering iron, and finally a label printer all in one bag would be a dream come true. Thanks very much. This vid has been a godsend. 😊

[@JBE]

I'm glad you liked the review and thanks for watching. Sounds like you're already down the rabbit hole with Veto products? Yes, once you get one you're hooked on quality, and let's face it, you can't get better quality than Veto. The TP-XXL is a favourite of mine and it can carry quite a lot too.

[@interceptor7905]

Probably the best review of this bag so far!

[@jericosha2842]

Best demo of the bag. Thank you so much

[@T-Bone-nk1ng]

Thank youuu for showing the bases of both XL and XXL. I have the XL and yeah, on uneven terrain like rocks and whatnot, the bag tips over all the time.

[@NickFabi]

I think you might have saved me a lot of time and and lot more KZbin veto bag reviews. I have really struggled to choose a bag from what is a very large varied range covering a lot of different ground. Thanks

[@JBE]

No problem Nick. I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@treeb3614]

You show the bottoms of the XL and the XXL together! I’ve been looking for a video of that exactly talking about the tipping of the XL for so long!! Thanks heaps

[@JBE]

No problem, I use the bags every day, so I understand the pros and cons.

[@shifter8207]

I got mine yesterday , i plan on keeping it light i have the tpxl as well and the biggest issue is the tipover issue. I wasnt sold on how much bigger the tpxxl.is over the tpxl but now i can carry 2 meters all the time and in winter i can swap one out for a manometer .

[@JBE]

I didn't like the tippy part of the TP-XL !

[@michaelmaclachlan2152]

Picked one up after watching your video! I love it so far.

[@JBE]

Nice one Michael, have you got any other Veto bags?

[@gidzey4783]

The best TP-XXL video on KZbin! Ive watched it at least 5 times. No non-sense brand new Knipex pliers...WIHA this and that. The TP-XXL is one of the few bags i havent owned. I have had both Tech Pacs blackout, Tech-LC, Tech-XL, Tech-MCT, OT-LC, TP5B, TP4, TP-XL, MB3, TP-LC. Ha! My favorite is the MCT. Perfect size and pocket layout. And the new blackout looks even better. I did order the TP-XXL tonight after watching your video!

[@JBE]

Glad you liked the video and I'm sure you'll love the TP-XXL just as much as the rest of your collection?

[@chrisfyfe9212]

Much respect for the tiny hammer , I always have a 4 oz.Warrington , with a cut down handle in mine ! I put a Milwaukee Surge 12 volt in the front of the main compartment

[@aDanishDude]

Wish i had gotten this or the TP-XL over the tech-MT. Its exactly on the limit on being able to fit many long tools (hammers, files, pliers, ect). I thought it'd be a deecnt bit of kit for a closed toolbag, but the open style of the TP is vastly superior for quickly grabbing tools and not having to turn the bag around or wrangle out long tools.

[@mrthomas394]

Thee absolute best review of a veto bag I've ever viewed. 5 stat pal very very good video 👍👍👍

[@JBE]

Appreciate that Mr Thomas. Are you a Veto owner yourself?

[@mrthomas394]

@@JBE yes first bag bought this autumn. Purchased a tech MCT with free mb3. Was thinking of ditching my Milwaukee rucksack for the tp XXL. Not sure if would hold large grips though 300mm long 👍

[@andrewriley4204]

Good Review 👍 I've got the Tech XL and TP-LC both good. That said, I'm really liking the open-top nature of the TP bag. Whereas the Tech case has a fabric lip on the top which is sometimes an obstruction to seeing tools. I've read that on your bag the rear pocket is for a Tablet or small laptop. Think I'd prefer to keep digital Tech separately with my notebooks and Cert pads. Good bag, good Review 👍

[@89dhvac]

It’s crazy how much bigger it is. I’d love to buy one, but I really like my TP-XL and I’m not sure I want something bigger. I also have no use for 2 meter pouches on a bag like this. To me, the only thing the TP-XL is missing is one meter pouch and a slightly wider base to make it less tippy.

[@JBE]

Yes I found that the more you put in the TP-XL it gets a little top heavy on that slim base. Still an amazing bag though and if you don't need the extra space then stick with it. 👍

[@scottk0623]

I use the TP-XL I bought the TP-XXL it is way too big for me. When it was released it really didn’t show that much bigger. It it built VETO tough but too large for me. It will be put on the shelf.

[@chrisfyfe9212]

I didn’t know about the metal plate , you Sir , are a superstar !

It's a great addition to the bag isn't it?

[@chrisfyfe9212]

@@JBE As regards the height deficits on the side pockets ; In North America most Guys carry carry clamp meters like a Fluke 376 FC , or some clone thereof , and often a basic didgital meter like a Fluke 117 ( still does true RMS , plus has a non contact voltage function ) . The type of testers you folks use , aren’t as common . Roger is a Carpenter by trade , and prolly got his background advice from local Sparks , and HVAC types ,

[@JBE]

@@chrisfyfe9212 Cheers for the info Chris. Yes Roger and I guess most of the Veto range look at carpentry and it's surrounding trades before HVAC, electric, gas and plumbing. TBH my voltage indicator is a little on the large side and at what point do you stop? The TP-XXXXXXL 🤣.

[@chrisfyfe9212]

@@JBE ATM , my fave quick and dirty test tool is the Fluke T6-1000 , gives Voltage and current at the same time ( assuming the wire is properly positioned in the fork ) . With the test leads it rounds off to the nearest volt , in both AC and DC . Roger goes to lots of trade shows , and listens to his end users . I first ran across his stuff @ 2003-4 , his range is constantly getting better !

[@barrysmith3123]

Great review. Do you think you could fit a Meggar MFT in it? Looks like it may fit in and I’m looking at a new bag just for testing kit

[@JBE]

I'm not sure Barry, it's mainly set out for hand tools. A Megger might fit in but they'd be no room left for the tools. The MB3B is a better meter bag for the Megger. I did a video of it number (43) on the playlist.

[@barrysmith3123]

@@JBE thanks for the reply. I have been using the MB3B after watching your video a while back but after using it a fair amount recently, it’s not quite right for me. I’m now looking at possibly a DR XL as it may fit the MFT and a wander lead with a few hand tools . I don’t suppose you have one of these ??😀 . It may be the case of getting one to try and then send back if the gear doesn’t fit. Oh well, I do seem to work to buy tools rather than buy tools to work. Keep up the good content 👍

[@jasonlucero1523]

Nice bag! Any issues with the new TPxxl tipping over in the vehicle? Seems tall as well. Thanks!

[@JBE]

No issues at all with the bag tipping over. It stands nice but be warned it can get a little heavy when fully loaded. I find myself using the carry strap when it's getting heavy. One of the best bags out there in my opinion.

[@alyi9761]

@@JBE how does this bag compare to the tech mct blackout?

[@JBE]

@alyi9761 In terms of gear you can carry, I actually think the TP-XXL can carry more! The Tech MCT is a great compact bag that if perfect for hand tools (in my case as an electrician). The blackout version as featured on my channel also comes with the different v-swap panels, so you can have multiple types of different loadouts.

What do you think of the Pro Pac bags and which one do you find you use the most?

[@JBE]

Honestly they are top quality bags built to last. I actually use the CT-XL and TP-XXL the most. My main tool bag and the CT carrys everything else I need. The MB3B is great meter bag for your MFT. Do you have any yourself?

a proper compact meter would fit in the side pocket , i have never rated the meters that you have showed , they are are a halfway house and although are pro rated but to me they are what a basic non technical electrician would use and in my experience they dont know how to acually read and interpret what the display is showing

[@JBE]

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@GARR0N]

I'm a year one electrical apprentice that does both commercial fire alarm systems and normal 240 work, Do you think I'd be able to fit the majority if not all my tools in this bag (I know that's a very case by case question but in your opinion is the bag worth the money and does it store a good amount of tools)? I'm thinking worst-case scenario I could buy a cheap plastic storage box for larger power tools, cork gun ext since I'm using my car to drive myself and tools to sites and don't want to have a range of hard tool box's

[@JBE]

It's great for hand tools and has more storage than it looks. Combined with the included shoulder strap It's a good bag to keep for just tools when carrying from your van (car in your case) to site. The question with veto tool bags is never about quality as they're solid. But if you get one that's too big or too small for your daily job, you might not love it as much? There's lots of videos on KZbin covering this (The TP-XXL) or maybe you want an open tote tool bag?
