[ih1]

My old faithful Stanley fatmax tool bag has seen better days and is due an upgrade. What are use lads using these days

Veto pro pac........

 

[Roger Welton]

I agree vetos are great, I just wish id gone for the OT XXXXXXXXXL as i seem to carry so much rubbish around.

 

[Rabbitman]

I opted for the tech lc, bought it for my previous job but nowt fitted, but perfect for new job would be lost without it

150 large ones for a tool bag. The misses would have me sleeping the shed

 

[Rabbitman]

You shouldn't put a price on quality lol.........

 

[Rybo_1]

Don't let the price of the veto scare you! In the time I've had my ot-XL I would have gone through 3 of the 45 quid tote bags I was using before. And it still looks brand new!

 

[AWheating]

I agree, my veto cost the price of 4 of the bag I used to buy before, but I used to buy 2 a year of those sometimes three. My veto is over 3 years old and still in great condition.

Veto do look amazing but nobody seems to stock them!

Beesley tools online shop, there's an offer on until end of June, if you buy a tech bag you can get a meter bag worth £40 for free.

 

[Roger Welton]

The meter bag is good also I use it for breakdowns all the time

 

[Geyser]

Only saying yesterday must have had my veto tech lc for couple of years now. Used hard and still undamaged and going strong.

 

[cdodds2004]

blue British gas tool box for me. they are great and double up as a step

 

[Roger Welton]

Thats the one thing i miss having changed over to a tool bag, have started using my hoover as a step now but as its on wheels can be quite interesting!

I'm currently using a tote tray. I'm fed up with it though and probably going back to a open top bag.

Those are the exact 2 veto's I have, and set up in a similar way. The xxlf is a beast, when loaded at times I have to sort tools and odds and ends out of it so I can lift it again. You don't need free weights if you own an xxlf. And once you try a veto you won't buy another brand unless they radically up their game.

I fancy one of those tech ones, looks a handy piece of kit! ive got a british gas brief case type one at the moment, would have to try and flog that first efore I could afford to fork out £150 for one tho!!

 

[JCSPLUMBING]

What are the new fat max ones like? I've seen em for £30 and am tempted

 

[BN9Pete]

I use this type by Stanley for my everyday hand tools, I bought it about 8 years ago for about £5.



I have a Stanley Fatmax XL that I keep in the van for heavier tools and tools not used everyday.

I have that same tray for my everyday stuff. I'm looking at upgrading to a bag

I have adapted my tray with cut down inhibitor and water bottles to carry smaller tools and bits.
I tried using the Fatmax for a while for everyday use but I found it too heavy, I was also carting around stuff I only used now and again.

If the plastic Stanley tray broke tomorrow I would definitely buy another one, i do loads of small jobs in occupied propertys and it's easy to carry around.

 

[Kelso1967]

It really depends on what you are using it for I mostly do servicing, so I use a ck magma technicians case

I also have a ck magma tool tote that I keep all my pipework tools in

Both bags are pretty sturdy

Them stanley trays last me about 3 months.
They do a heavier duty one with a metal handle. Much more durable.
That said im waiting on the veto to come back in stock. Gonna rush me 160 notes
