Veto Pro Pac - Worth the Money?

[gazdkw82]

A large portion of the attraction to veto bags is based on image rather than functionality. Dont get me wrong, they are well made, well thought out and functional bags but not 3 or 4 times the value of a fatmax bag etc.

Btw, I had 2 fatmax bags over 5 years. I now own a veto. Looking back in was definitely drawn because everyone was telling me how much of a game changer and great they were.

Good yeh. Game changing..... not for me.

Anyone used the Velocity Rogue bags? I’ve been offered a newish Velocity Rogue 6.0 for 80£ Or Ive seen a brand new CK Magma 2652 Wheeled bag for 80£ Or a Used Veto XX-F for 90£

 

[telectrix]

trouble with the veto is due to it's size, i can see it getting overloaded and too heavy to carry. the velocity look good, but similar price to veto. the rogue 6 for £80 is a good buy.

I think your right there Tel. The Veto although massive. I do think I would not even be able to fill it. Would be heavy when fully loaded, there is no getting away from it. I do think for £80 it is a good price. The Velocity is half price which is a good buy. It’s also as good as new.

I will attach some photos.

 

[RDB85]

I am going to go for the Velocity I think. The Veto although a great price would be far too big really.

For the money and value .The Velocity makes sense

Bought myself Milwaukee's packout backpack - don't shoot me.

Interesting part was Powertoolmate payment went to "Westward" building services!

Finally got round to loading up my new Veto bag

 

[nicebutdim]

Bit of a follow up on the packout backpack...

Pros:
Much bigger than expected, so holds quite a bit, including space for combi, impact and a few batteries.
Loads of compartments of various sizes, inside and out.
Sturdy base and well balanced when fully loaded (I suspect this is dependent on not loading heaviest tools up high).
Seems to be very well made, but time will tell how it holds up to general wear and tear.

Cons:
Being huge, it ain't particularly light when loaded with tools ?

Not sure this'll be of any help to the OP.

 

[RDB85]

Ended up getting the velocity rogue 6.0 for £80.

Pretty much half price - can't argue with that.

just need a MFT to put in it. ?

 

[RDB85]

I do. I’ve had some members offer me some items. I seem to have upset Casper as he has not responded. Oh well.

 

[DPG]

I'd have put the £80 towards an MFT rather than buying a fancy bag. But that's just my opinion.

A bag that was brand new. Half the retail price and will last me many years. I’ve looked at it as a worthwhile investment.

Yep, fair point.

 

[Scintillam]

Veto currently have an offer of a free mb3 with some of the tool bags can be found on eBay or beesleys site directly

 

[RDB85]

So I’ve decided that the Velocity is a great bag. But once loaded with tools it’s really heavy. So I’m thinking of either a rolling tool bag or a trolley system:

Im going to be listing Facoms Top Roller Bag On eBay in a few days time, the bag is excellent with no damage at all, great functional bag. My reason for changing it was i needed more of a Tech Case for the work im involved in now.

Any pictures mate?

I’ve just come across this on eBay. Quite a good price as it’s half the price of any other retailer.

I'm wondering if it's an error as most of their other veto discounts are between £1 and £5 and it's £195 on their own website. Price is probably going to increase considerably, by Monday morning at the latest.

It’s worth a buy I think as surely they would have to honour it. I may get it for Christmas as my siblings don’t know what to buy me.

They may or may not homour the price, but the only way to find out is buying it while at that price.

 

[RDB85]

Went to buy it and it was out of stock. I reckon they have realised that it was a mistake.

There was only a small number showing in stock and sales history indicates they sold within the last hour. Probably bought by people who read this thread - I bet @BiddeldyBwah bought one

I bought one to see if I actually get it. I never intended to pay so much for a handbag. Im sure the wife will love her Christmas present thi

 

[RDB85]

They have come back in stock. I did consider the TP XXL as a Service Bag but I’m thinking this maybe a better buy as a service bag. It being half price helps a little.

 

[RDB85]

Still unsure of whether to get that or the TP XXL. As I’ve been offered a TP5B so I may try that for service work having never owned any Vetos it’s quite hard making a decision.

I looked at the Stanley Tote in B&Q it looked great, just not a fan of open tote bags. As I have my Magnusson set which is great. But not so good when doing services and maintenance work.

 

[DPG]

The main thing is don't rush into a decision.

That’s true. Price point it’s superb value for money that Tech XL. As a main bag. As I’m trying to split my tools up it would not make sense to use for a service bag. Hence the reason for buying the Magnusson system.

The curious thing is this listing keeps being updated every few hours, if you look at the revision history, so there are always just a few left. Possibly this is something a seller can automate, as I can't believe FFX were awake and updating the listing in the very early hours of Sunday morning?

It's more about generating sales on ebay. Chuck on a quantity of 100 and sales can quickly dwindle, whereas drip feeding tends to keep things moving.

Given the huge reduction in price they'd sell as many by just dumping everything into stock, but I guess they've been conditioned by the peculiarities of ebay's algorithm.

If you buy one of these at that price it will sell for Atleast what you are paying for it. The tp5b were the “free” bag given away in last years sale, this year it was the 4.

Tech pac mc or mct are nice enclosed bay if you want something readonably small

So the FFX listing for the TECH-XL has just been updated again - I guess by a real person this time - to a new price of £205. Will be interesting to see if they actually ship out the 40-odd they sold at £105.

Update: just this minute got an email cancelling my order "due to a pricing error"!

Thank god that's been cleared up i didn't get a minute's sleep last night worrying about all this

 

[RDB85]

One of the lads from work got the email cancelling it. I’m pretty sure that they have to sell it at that price.
