Veto Pro Pac TECH PAC, Black, 14.25 x 9.88 x 21.5 inches, Industrial

My trade requires alot of tools. This leads to an inevitable overloading of my toolbag because if I don't bring them all in with me, Murphy's law will send me back to the truck for the one tool I left in there. Sometimes I can convince myself "I haven't used my 3 lb adjustable wrench in like 3 months... leeet's lighteeen the loooad." *removes wrench* Next job - sure enough - I need it. It's an incredible phenomenon. So I was overloading and annihilating a dewalt tool backpack (200$) every year because the zippers would eventually give out. Then it finally dawned on me that my boss has a bag that looks to be at least 15 years old if not 30 - covered in glue, pipe dope, silicone, all the fun stuff. It's also unavoidably stuffed to the max with tools and still rocking a fully functioning zipper. Not to mention it has no rips or stitching coming undone - what the hell? What brand's that? Veto. It's not a backpack, my preferred method of carrying this much weight, but it is old and very intact. I decided I needed one. I searched around town, nobody carries them... but THAANK YOOU amazon. And what... o..m..GOTHEY MAKE BAcKPACKS!!!1! YEEEESSSSSss Unfortunately, you want quality, you need to pay for it. So I purchased the most expensive piece of apparel I've ever owned. After exactly a year of using it in the field every 8-10 hour work day I can tell you, like my boss's bag, it's still 100% as functional as the day I got it. Zipper still nice and smooth. Not only that, but I've grown so accustomed to the unique features of the bag it would be very frustrating to go back to anything else. The hook feature is great for keeping the bag from falling over in the back of the truck. This would happen from time to time with my dewalt bags and you'd have to reorganized a bunch of spilled tools when you opened up the bag. Very annoying. The little "shelf" the flap makes when you open up the bag is my fav. A strap from the top of the flap can be clipped to a ring at the top of the bag which holds the weight of the tools you're using. So you dont have to put em in the dirt or amongst a bunch of junk so they blend in and you lose em or forget em. The shelf keeps em clean, keeps em organized. Brilliant. The flap also has a large enough magnet section for the important screws of the appliance I'm taking apart so I don't need a separate magnet tray. Even just the fact that the flap is a flap is genius design. My last dewalt bag basically opened down the middle and you stacked tools on both sides of the opening. This caused the bag to essentially close on itself when open. You had to hold it open with one hand, grab the tool with the other, requiring you to also face the bag. With a flap flopped wide open the bag can be even right behind you and you can just reach around and grab stuff with one hand. In summary, this is probably the greatest tool bag manufactured by human beings. I haven't tried them all, but I know it would be a hell of a difficult task to improve on this design. Yes it's expensive, but it's probably the last tool bag you'll buy.

Amazing bag, with the perfect layout for my stuff. I have it slam full and it is absolutely worth the investment. Its not cheap but its layout, number of pockets and base are GREAT!

4.75 out of 5-Stars • Hooray! Finally they came out in Black 🖤 upon my repeated requests :) Absolute awesome build quality! Looks and works fantastic. The hard plastic base needs to be a 0.5" deeper because it is very difficult to get your hands down to the bottom to grab any tool, tight fit. So the hard plastic base needs a 0.25" deeper on each side to make it perfect!

I love this bag. I do apartment maintenance at a very large complex spread out over several blocks and find myself walking all over the property. This bag holds all the tools I need plus has room for a few extra I might need to take with me for a particular job. It’s comfortable, and super convenient as all my tools are right there next to me and the bag stays standing even with both sides open. Highly recommended to anybody that needs a tool backpack. All the rest are just child’s play compared to this one.
