As a. homeowner building out their tool kit... This video was very helpful. I always enjoy these style of videos from those who have experience to share to newcomers. I ended up going with the toughbuilt 16'' large tote since I utilize the tool pouches. Clip tech is really convenient. It is far from perfect and I originally wanted something smaller, but it turns out the 16'' is good enough for my needs. I was certainly tempted into buying a veto because everyone raved about it, but its hard to consider spending 180-300 on a bag when I haven't boughten every tool I could need. That $300 could be used for a powertool kit I don't have or even tons of extremely high quality hand tools that will outlast me.
After going through many shapes and sizes of bags myself I have found my favorite is the $10 cavas bag from harbor freignt. They call it a "riggers bag." Its not as durable as many of my other bags but its just the perfect size and pockets for me. Maybe ill do a similar video to show why i like it so much
The issue with bigger bag is simple, the more crap u through in there and it gets super heavy I suggest everyone get husky bags at first. Then they can figure out what style suits them, then get a better one that works for them
I would also have no regrets recommending the veto tech LC to a new person. It’s almost perfect what/Capacity to grow into. Plus veto gives a free pouch with it if you buy from a authorized retailer. I have received two so far from them. Good look to my follow fixers of all! My only wish is that people would learn how to plunge their own toilets
I agree, the tech lc would be perfect to grow into. Its storage capacity is legit. I had a to plunge a kitchen sink right before I left today. Call came in at 424, I clock out at 430. I gave them the plunger i used when i was done.
Definitely!! It can also free up your hands so you carry parts, ladders, tool boxes etc. One of my former techs used it for general maintenance tool carry. It's a flexible option. AND it comes at a very reason price👍👍
Check out the velocity 6.0 a little pricey but looks like an apartment maintenance techs wet dream. I’m buying one ASAP, we carry a lot more tools than other fields, plus always being prepared for those random on calls makes carrying just a few tools impossible. Good look on the perfect bag hunt ive been looking for ten years!
I found out after making this video that Veto has the afterpay option and you can make payments....talk about wet dreams. Velocity bags are super nice but their weight without a full pack is double most Veto bags. Maybe not all but the few I've looked at
@@maintenanceessentials3953 damn really? They look like theyre made out of lighter materials. I just bought the tech pack wheeler on after pay. What a bag. Im looking into the wiha XLL3, might be my next purchase only downside is you have to purchase 93 tools with it.
I don't know about them being the "next big thing" as I've seen nothing special about the Vaughan line up and they almost seem over priced. Am I missing something?? If you want to talk about next big thing as far as bags I would lean more toward Rugged Tools being an up and coming bag maker. The Rugged line seems solid and decently priced. Don't sleep on Workpro or Niche either..they're bags are evolving. Also, Velocity makes some great products that no one ever talks about
@@maintenanceessentials3953 idk bro it's just something I've heard. I just looked at them on Amazon and it's a thin lineup. I'll check out those other ones you mentioned. I've never heard of Niche or Rugged. Thx buddy 👍👍👊👊
I have a Veto MCT and a Klein backpack as well as a Klein shoulder bag. My veto is my everyday bag. I dont believe in carrying the shop around with me. Know your property and carry YOUR most used.
Well put. I am a big proponent in carrying bags built for exact needs. It took me a while learn that the shop isn't going anywhere and that there is no need for it to tag along on every call. My back has never been happier
I have the veto tech LC, veto electrician pouch and veto tech backpack. The LC is for major jobs, the electricians tool pouch is my everyday and the backpack is all the random tools I might in for weird jobs and on calls. I unfortunately have to do on/call for three other properties that aren’t mine so Idk or want to find out what they have on site. Ask co-workers what your most consistent calls are(usually plunging lol) and gear more heavily for that.
I now have the Veto Tpxl for electrical gear, the Tec Pac Mc Lt for everyday service work, the MB3B that's carrying all my plumbing tools, a tp3 for a quick on call grab and run pack plus a shitload of other bags with misc that I use once a year and still not satisfied

You should. I would be interested to see what's going on with the riggers bag

The electrician tool belt is a great idea! And it would work good for hvac too, specially when climbing up and down ladders.

I like the Klein bag you shown. The waterproof bottom nice!
Awesome!! It's a killer bag with a ton of storage plus that protective bottom.... It's a hard bag to beat. Thanks for checking out the vid

It's def hard to find THE bag...so many options too. Have heard of Vaughan Bags? I hear they may be the next big deal

@@arsontoolsmith3043 look into Rugged Tools tho. I know you're into the backpacks and they seem to have decent ones
Anyone start off with any rolling tool boxes?..tstak,ridgid,husky?
