    Veto Pro pac , are they worth it ?

    should I splash the cash and buy a veto? At the moment I ve got a Stanley large open tote bag. Which is fine but weighs a tonne. Also I only regularly use about a third of the tools that are in it. So my thinking is keep that in the van then get a smaller bag to carry in. Veto bags look great...

    Is a web-page necessary as I do not understand it's worth for more work.

    I never have and still do not understand how a web page can get me more work.
