Tool bag

[keniff]

Hi guys looking at a new toolbag a veto xl open tote

http://www.tool-shop.co.uk/Tool+Bag...leBase&utm_content="Open_Tote_OT-XL_Tool_Bag"

Was just wondering if anyone knows any that are similar layout but a bit cheaper? Open tote with the divider really looks good

[Voltimax]

Christ!
I'd never part with all that money for a tool tote sheesh! Business must be booming for you my friend.

 

[Guest123]

[DurhamSparky]

[hasel5]

[ezzzekiel]

that looks like an American tool tote, definately very nice and I would pay that for it as long as I could buy in in a shop where I can feel the weight and build quality of it first, as some things look amaa-zin but turn out to be tat...looks sturdy though....
The only problem that I would have is that I would need to use that for homers, as if I took it onto a site it would just be like an open bag of sweets, all the tools would be on open showroom happy hour.....and if they seen the bag they would think one of two things either 1) he can afford it so I'm having those knipex sidecutters and that Fluke meter...or 2) I'll fix him..... if one of the thieving type seen that it would be off in a flash and would be in the back of their car/van before the dust had settled and you'd had your first sip of cheap tea from that foam cup at the burger van......(dam it!!!)......what....(some ******* stole my tool bag)....oh really....(yes)...oh thats too bad here I'll help you look for it...-3 seconds-....na dont see it *thinks HA HA* (but that was 800 quid worth of tools)......another person pipes in .....SHUT UP ALREADY!.........(thinks to self why me again...)

Iv just had to perform MtM on the wife as I had the link open n she saw the price of a "Bloody Tool bag" I personaly was wondering if it comes with some blonde with big boobies to carry it around for me??

 

[LukeD]

worth no more than about £70.00

for that reason o would never buy such a over priced bag. That offers very little in reality.

 

[LukeD]

I spoke to someone who manufactures bags (Custom laptops) and they reccon this bag costs lest than £20 to produce even if made in the UK .

Why on earth other companies dont just copy the very simple design makes the think just how lazy the market is.

As mentioned in another thread and this , these bags are a thief's best friend and a nightmare to carry in public etc .

 

[Guest123]

I use one of these......£30 from my local CEF.

Really chuffed with it.

 

[jaresquire]

Check your account statement Lenny, it probably says £300

So do I, I have 2, and change out of £40. Even the wifes expensive taste in handbags isn't that bad. If i paid that for a toolbag she would shove it so far up my bottom that i would be choking on it.

Yeah those veto pro pacs are supposed to be excellent, but they are way over priced and i wouldnt pay that for a tool bag.

I got myself a Dewalt open tote tool bag from B and Q, they have been on special for several months now at £20, rather than the rrp of £40, they are great for all your regular use tools like screwdrivers, cutters. pliers hacksaw e.t.c All my larger bits i dont use often like wood saws e.t.c i just put in a cheap plastic toolbox that also doubles up as a seat when 2nd fixing low sockets e.t.c

Dewalt 18" Open Tote Tool Bag

 

[Short Circuit]

Keith, as above mate, the Stanley Fat Max is just as good - and best of all, a hell of a lot cheaper - although i would consider paying that if it came with the blond that mogga suggests!

I wouldnt get the DeWalt one as its not very sturdy!

 

[mayfair]

Everyone here seems to use a bag made buy dexter inc me its great and costs around 22 euros do you have Dexter in UK ?

 

[keniff]

Yeah thanks guys iv pretty much been talked out of it, I'll look into all of these I'm not sure what I was thinking :s

 

[LukeD]

lets be honest we would all have one if they cost £50 !! I refuse to have my trousers pulled down !!

 

[keniff]

I love having my trousers pulled down by B&Q when I get caught short on a job at night lol

had a look on Google and only found "messenger type" bags??? any pics of your tool bag ?

Thanks

 

[mogga]

there is a pikky of this CK one with drum of cable over the handle 2 birds one stone

 

[mogga]

check out your local BnQ Warehouse as their new range includes JCB bags ect n they loook quiet good quality There is also a special offer with the Dewalt boots £55 for pair of boots n a tool bag depends on who you go to if its a tote or a closed bag

 

[keith915]

Anybody know if you can fit A4 test sheets in the veto XL?

 

[The Finch]

been using the ck tech case and rucksack for ages but find that bits get lost etc, most of my work is service and faults on fire alarms so trusty terminal driver and meter does me, meter came in a handy size case that fits few basic tools in, then in back of van just bought one of the dewalt totes from b and q so far so good

 

[mogga]

CK do a wee "Essencials" clip roof for pliers couple of drivers and a fluke voltage indicator clips on to belt great for those wee "in Out" Jobs

 

[The Finch]

i must look that up, thanks, just been looking at those veto pro pacs resisted the temptation to hit buy now for the time being lol

 

[MarkieSparkie]

I use a CK T1634 bought on Amazon £26-99 inc VAT, it's just brilliant. After a lot of other boxes and bags tried over the years, I was always frustrated with my most used tools ending up at the bottom of the bag/box when I needed them. The chippy I work with said try a tote, so I did a bit research, the CK and the Stanley Fat Max versions I thought were the most robust, well made and reasonably priced. What swung the choice for me was the roll-up rain cover, ideal for our variable climate. I believe I've found the ideal method at last, it only took 30 years.

Ha! made I laugh.

did a rewire in Kidderminster last year (or maybe year before) and there was no site toilet ..... often popped to B&Q (at bottom of hill) for a doggy dump. Always a pleasure to leave them a small deposit.

 

[Engineer54]

Hahaha!!....Why would anyone actually pay 152 quid for a tool bag??? What are you paying for here, ....a someones name?? Bloody fools if you ask me, ...you could buy 4 or 5 Stanley or other similar well made bags for what your paying for someones Name!!!

Stanley FatMax tool tote, on offer at Homebase at the moment if anyones after one?

Stanley FatMax 18inch Open Tote Bag from Homebase.co.uk

 

[mart1711]

I'm having me one of them tonight!!! lol Good find! Although its not the most practical still hump a fat max tool box with me most of the time because of the robbing b******s that work in the same building i do 60% of my work in

I guess I am on of those fools..... I own 3 Veto Pro Pac's now and wouldn't dream of buying anything elese. In answer to why I paid so much for them, it is the same reason I use Hilti tools & Drive a german car..... Quality!! I cannot see the point of buying a cheaper bag with the option to replace when it goes wrong. Why not get rid of this throw away attitude and buy something that will most probably outlive 4 Stanley bags. Before buying a Veto I owned numerous bags which never lasted too long as I am quite rough with them.
I suppose you use Silverline powertools and throw them away when they break?

 

[mart1711]

Fair comment eskimo, each to their own though i guess i do a lot of work with cabinet making / powder coated panels and i use nothing but festool, works for me but others disagree.. I like hilti, although after a costs cutting project by hilti in 2009 their products have been more and more assembled/sourced from asia and the quality is not so prominent with their modern equipment.

 

[eskimo39]

Never had a problem with them to be honest mate. I understand each to their own in terms of preference but I don't appreciate being called a fool because someone else deems a product overpriced etc. I never look down on someone for using cheap tools, the same way I would never call anyone a fool for spending a lot on their gear.
