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£

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.

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.

Ended up getting the velocity rogue 6.0 for £80.

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

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

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.

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

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.
