Veto Pro Pac recently came out with two new tool bags, the LT and XLT, that are designed to organize and carry everything an on-the-go technician might need.
Laptop sleeve? Check. Sturdy ergonomic handle? Check. Pockets and pouches galore? Check.

The LT bag, shown above, measures 20.25″ H x 16.5″L x 7″ W, and has a total of 34 pockets. The XLT sports 47 pockets and is a little larger with a 9.5″ width.
The LT bag is $200 via Amazon, and the XLT bag $220 via Amazon. If you think that’s a lot for a crazy-durable tool bag that can hold all your gear, check out the $500 Occidental Dr. Wood!
We’ve tested Veto Pro Pacs before and were impressed with the quality and flawless construction. These new bags should be no different.
There’s also a new Tech LC pack that’s designed for HVAC professionals, as well as two new meter and tool-holding pouches.

I had one of my vendors bring over the Tech LC to look at it. I really, really wanted to like the bag. I have to give credit to Veto for a bag that’s well thought out, solidly built, and easy to use. But I will be damned if the thing doesn’t way a ton. The empty bag weighs just over 7 lbs.
As a service tech, that 7 pounds gets heavy over the course of a day. The empty bag weighs 1/3 of my current stocked tool bag. If they could magically make the bag weigh half as much, I’d be on it in a heartbeat. It seems to be more of a tool bag that’s designed for someone to bring from the truck to the jobsite once or twice a day, rather than 7 or so times.
I did get the TP3 pouch, and am in the process of organizing it into a small space tool pouch. It’s a real nice product.

And somehow I’ve typed wrong “weigh”. Now I feel like an idiot.

I don’t see any mistyping. Although, I’ve not stared at “weigh” so much that the word looks funny to me.

Where is it made? That criteria factored heavily in the purchase of my current Spec-Ops brand bag, which I’m greatly pleased with and proud to say that it was made in the USA.
Stuart
I forget where they’re made, but it’s not the USA. Even so, they’re built darn well.

As Jesse pointed out, they are made in China. This is one of the few things made there that are put together well. The others that come to mind right away are major-player power tools, like DeWalt’s drills. If it’s USA-designed and the specs are followed during manufacture, the Chinese can make good products. This is similar to what we experienced when Japanese products flooded the market in the 50s and 60s, when the term “Japanese junk” was accurate. However, the market forced them to get better (better designs, better raw materials, etc.), and the products improved markedly. Look at electronics, major appliances, automobiles; it’s only a matter of time (5-10 years) before there won’t be a substantial difference between US-made and Asian-made. Many USA-made products have sourced imported parts. No one complains about German-made products (hand and power tools, automobiles, etc.), which are known worldwide for their excellence. The drawback to all of this is the effect it has on jobs and the U.S. economy. I guess the main difference is that the Germans have chosen to concentrate in the “luxury” market sectors, whereas the Asians have gone after everything. Mexico is also (quietly) infiltrating markets, but there’s no huge outcry about products coming from there.
