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
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! 👍
@@projectpinehills I enjoyed your video, for real. last year I quit smoking, starting with compensating this hobby with tools. Man, it is a real health issue!. I purchased over 15 power tools and countless hand tools in only one year. I watch mostly this type of content nowadays, perfecting my arsenal. Way less porn, however 🤔.
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
Yes, it lightens the bag setup. Thanks for watching! 👍
Great load-out!
Hey thanks, trying to keep it light weight. Thanks for watching!
DEF NOT DIY NOR BEGINNER SETUP, but i appreciate that you appreciate quality tools lol. cool vid
Ha, thanks and thanks for watching! 👍
great job! thanks for the links and part numbers.
Thanks for the feedback. Really wanting to optimize the bag setup with a baseline of tools. Easy to overload a bag as you get new tools. 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.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍
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.
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!
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.
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! 👍
Good video
Continue please 👍
Thanks and thanks for watching! 👍
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
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!
@@projectpinehillsthank you for sharing, also another thing that popped into my mind is zip ties.
Awesome tools. The MCT is my favorite bag, just recently upgraded to the blackout version and love it.
I was curious, I think I like the OG MCT better. 2.5lbs lighter. Thanks for watching!
It is lighter, but I love the zipper pockets on the inside of the blackout. Both are great bags!
I like the meter side zipper pouch. I have a video about what I like about both. Thanks for watching!
Very good tool bag, I would love to have something like that, very good quality tool
Thanks, thanks for watching! 👍
Damn nice bag.💪👍🇺🇸
Thanks and thanks for watching! 👍
I use the small outside pocket for bandaids for quicker access.
That’s a good idea. Also good for sanding cloth. Thank 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.
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 for the video. I have the Tech-MC and feel it’s just a little too short for the long handled tools and screwdrivers. Just got the Tech-MCT Blackout and it’s great to see what you have and where you put them.
Thanks. I have another loadout video for the TP-XXL that has a lot of ideas in it and you can cherry pick which tools are better for you. I was going for a lighter bag here with just the basics.
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
I’m going to check that out, that would be nice! Is that the Makita E-01373? Thanks for the feedback! 👍
i am very inspired by this setup! looks amazing for my needs. I ordered the multimeter since it seems so easy to operate, and other stuff aswell. i might however buy the limited edition dewalt mclaren bag, since i am only a halftime tradie :-) !
That’s great, let me know how it works out. The idea is to build out an all around bag, you can apply it to any bag. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍
@@projectpinehills Your setup makes so much sense for my needs as a wheelchair "customizer". Its handy, light, small, sturdy and i much prefer the Veto bag, i think i might ask my boss if we could split the cost of the bag 50/50 and i can use it as my at home bag aswell ;-)
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.
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…
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! 👍
Nice
Thanks for watching!
Lots of good ideas here. Especially like the Klein light and the Bahco adj. wrench. Veto is awfully proud $$$$ of their bag huh 😵
Not so much about pride as it is about sharing and getting ideas for improvement. Thanks for watching! 👍
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
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!
I have that same Klein light I Also have the Milwaukee version . There both great. What kind of shears are those? The blue handle ones . Will they cut flashing?? Thanks pine hills
Those happen to be Kobalts, they can cut steel sheets up to 0.8mm thick but these will work too: amzn.to/3GL2jSi Thanks for watching!
Id be curious to know your thoughts on the harbor freight permanent markers thanks
I have not used them, I’ll have to give them a try. Thanks for watching! 👍
Good afternoon from the Great State of Texas. I like your setup. What kind of work is this bag designed for?
This one is designed for DIY. Replace a faucet, or a light fixture, or a car battery, or replace a clothes dryer belt. Those kind of jobs. 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.
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.
No zip ties?
Good call, I’ll add those, doesn’t take up much space. Hard to draw the line and not add more tools. Thanks die watching! 👍
You can toss the band aids, the electrical tape works just fine. Haha.
Ha thanks for watching! 👍
You shared earlier with a tpxxl. Which one do you prefer?
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!
Where is the ICON bit and socket driver set in the list?
I've added it to the description and an alternative link to the VIM mini flex head ratchet. Thanks for watching!
You need a crimper
Good suggestion. If you need it regularly, then it should be added. Thanks for watching!
Someone do the total cost of everything in the bag and including the bag haha. I’m too lazy 😂
Great idea! I’ll work on that. Thanks for watching! 👍
