What tool bag are people using

[Last Plumber]

It took me a while to come around to getting one and I know they're expensive but Veto's are worth it and so are you. They are so far above and beyond anything that's out there in terms of design, quality and durability you'll wonder how you managed without one before. They're also guaranteed for five years so they should last a lot longer than that.

Which one have you got?

Which one have you got?

The TECH XL, it does manage to contain all my hand tools plus I had some Amazon vouchers to ease the pain of the cost.

Have you looked at Veto Pro Pac?

Not exactly cheap but superb quality, makes everything incredibly easy to find and will last you a whole career if you don't loose it.

Veto Pro Pac... all the way. I love them. I've bought 3 now.

Still on the fatmax rucksack which still does everything the veto does for about 1/5 of the price. I was told over 6 months ago on this forum "itll never last" "the zips will go" but it's still holding up just fine. Recommended

I have used all sorts over the years.

Metal boxes that end up with lids/flaps that don't close because of all the nonsense that ends up thrown in at the end of the day when time to run away comes. They weigh a tonne too. They also have a habit of smashing into your knees as you walk because they're so heavy you can't walk straight, or at least not upright.

Bags that end up with busted bottoms because they get thrown onto concrete floors too many times and then allow all your little keys and screwdrivers get lost.

Open boxes with hard bases (for throwing onto concrete floors) that end up full so you can't see the little keys and screwdrivers in the bottom.

At the moment I have a 'roll' which is OK for everyday go to tools but it's not perfect as you still need your big tool box as a backup.

I was looking for a Bass (if anyone remembers them), but they always seem to be out of stock.

Bucket ends up being used a lot, especially on jobs like rad valve changes, you can carry tools from rad to rad and throw the old wet valves in as you make your way round.

There's my input!
Still looking for the best idea myself after thirty odd years. Let me know if you find it.

much the same experience as me ive got a stanley double sided zip shut one for boiler stuff and a bucket for plumbing stuff

for hand toos i have some vetos and a volocity rogue. for power tools i have a few stanley and irwin, a makita and bosch.

main tools in a veto open tote, i like to be able to reach and grab a tool without looking so everything in its place.

I'd like to say in 26 years I've tried them all, plastic tool boxes, open bags, totes , cantilever style , organised cases and at the moment I'm using a plastic £1 pale haha , that's true , ,
