That icon mini ratchet is a jewel. I’ve seen it in lots of videos and they all talk great things about it. Definitely need to grab one next time i can

Really nice load out of tools. I have the same bag and it doesn’t take up much room when it’s in the truck, but holds a lot of tools.

@projectpinehills 11 ай бұрын

That’s what I like about it. It saves space, doesn’t tip over, it’s relatively simple and if you don’t overload it, it’s light. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍

I have the veto tech pac mc and the veto mb5b because I'm a commercial HVAC technician. My employer requires a closed top hands free tool bag for ladder safety reasons. I never use them for DIY projects around the house, open top tool bags are the best and 5 gallon bucket tool bags are incredibly versatile.

@projectpinehills 11 ай бұрын

The MB5B is a great option, especially for ladders. Yeah I know people who prefer open top, they are very convenient. I’ve seen a lot of tool corrosion from bucket organizers but I will use them. Thanks for watching! 👍

Thank you so much for making this video. I am in the process of assembling a new Milwaukee tool bag and this was very helpful. Thanks again for your time and energy and all the helpful tips and a list of tools that you have selected. Have a great day. PS. Subscribed and liked. Good luck with the channel.

Great tool kit. well thought out! I bought one of the Ang multimeters after one of your earlier videos, what a great bit of kit! I keep the accessories in an Altoids tin to keep better track of them.

@projectpinehills 11 ай бұрын

Thanks and that’s a good idea on the accessories. I’ve since made more improvements to the setup. Trading out the adjustable wrenches for Knipex pliers wrenches, adding a demolition screwdriver, some sanding cloth, a set of 1/4 Makita sockets and some zip ties. Those are the biggest improvements but it’s easy to slip into overloading the bag. Thanks for watching!

Great video. However calling it a DIY beginner tool bag while the bag itself costs more than all the tools an average household has....maybe is a little bit hard. I cannot afford such a bag here in east Europe , though I have a crazy amount of tools and tools boxes

@projectpinehills 11 ай бұрын

That’s good feedback. You can substitute lower cost options for everything in this setup. You also don’t need to buy all the tools at once. Thanks for watching! 👍

Makita makes a 6” square shank extension. That extension will fit in your screw driver and now you have an adjustable length bit adapter for your screw driver! Ps well I guess it’s more hexagon that square but you get it

@projectpinehills 11 ай бұрын

Yes and Veto typically has a spring promotion where they will at least offer a buy one get one free option typically in March. Keep an eye out for that. I have switched out the small adjustable wrench for a 6” Knipex Pliers wrench. Needed it this past weekend when switching out a carburetor on site. I also added a small 1/4” drive Makita socket set.

A few things you could add An Allen key set(the bit set is nice but sometimes you need a solid key A caliper Wd-40 Brake pad cleaner Contact spray for electronics Super glue Spare plug 🔌 A bottle of disinfectant to go with the bandaids Sunfix aqua (epoxy putty) A small piece of stainless steel pipe for extension and twisting

@projectpinehills 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the ideas. Sometimes you must use Allen Keys, to keep this bag light, I think the ratchet gives more versatility. It fits into extremely tight places that don’t give you much arc swing. I will be adding some these items, like the WD-40. Thanks for watching!

The Wera tool check plus would have been a good alternative to the icon bit set + separate sockets, plus, those flexible socket holders are awful to emote sockets from quickly. And seeing as budget didn’t seem to be a consideration, it would probably cost about the same…

@projectpinehills 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. The Makita sockets have worked great. The tool check plus requires a significantly greater cost to have both SAE and metric sockets. I also prefer to break down the tools so that they pack in a tool bag better so I can pull out just what I need and not an entire kit. Thanks for watching! 👍

Imho there's redundancy here. But I could be wrong. It depends on whether this backpack is a primary or whether it's meant to be portable. But 22 lbs is a lot to lug around left and right. Subjective opinion on my end but I feel the Knipex replaces about 4 other tools in your vid. I'd swap out the Milwaukee Fastback for the Milwaukee Fastback 6 in 1, which makes you carry less screwdrivers. The ICON (or imo the Wera Toolcheck plus) replaces most of the screwdrivers, if not all of them. Not saying it's a direct replacement but for me, a Wera Toolcheck Plus personally shrank my toolbox by a lot and I haven't turned back. For flashlight, you can go smaller like a 13TEOS, a Rovyvon light etc. If the kit is a primary kit than completely disregard what I'm saying.

@projectpinehills 11 ай бұрын

I like the feedback, it’s really interesting to get different perspectives. The idea was to have a strict baseline of tools knowing that sometimes you’ll have to plan ahead or make a trip to get tools out of a bigger bag. And removing any tools that are great to have but rarely get pulled out of the bag. A go-to bag for starting any work that is relatively light. The bag lives in the truck.

@zachcornelius5535 11 ай бұрын

You shared earlier with a tpxxl. Which one do you prefer?

@projectpinehills 11 ай бұрын

I like both, but for less tools, lighter bag, less likely to tip over in the truck, completely enclosed to reduce condensation and tool corrosion, I like the Veto TECH-MCT. I'd really like to see something take the single flap of the TP-XXL and combine it with the base of the TECH-MCT. I also like that it's 2 lbs lighter than the blackout edition. Thanks for watching!

Get the MCT blackout

@projectpinehills Ай бұрын

I have it. Do you like it better?

@russ8001 9 ай бұрын

I bought this bag and have it loaded and learned there is such a thing as overloading it. Anyway, it is a compromise between weight and having a certain percentage of tools you might need. To that end, I looked at possibly getting the Veto TP XXL and if not mistaken it has a volume of around 1800 cubic inches whereas this pack (Veto pro pac tech mct) has a volume of about 2,352 cubic inches. So this pack will hold more. Veto makes a backpack bag that I think has a volume of about 2,860 cubic inches so that is slightly larger capacity than this bag. I'll keep this bag but imagine that it could be made abit taller or wider without the useless pockets or with 4 pockets like they have on one side that stick out that become useful. Anyway, I love this pack so far. If anyone has the Veto propack techpack blackout (one of the original and backpack) AND this Veto propack tech mct, I would be curious to see which one is better

@projectpinehills 9 ай бұрын

Low weight vs carrying more is always the biggest trade off we are considering. I think it’s best to have 2 bag sizes and a pouch. A small and light option and then a catch all bag that you can always pull from. I’ve not tried the backpack, but that’s because I don’t want to go any larger. Thanks for watching!
