Veto Pro Pac - Worth the Money?

[nicebutdim]

Ended up getting the velocity rogue 6.0 for £80.

Pretty much half price - can't argue with that.

just need a MFT to put in it. ?

I do. I’ve had some members offer me some items. I seem to have upset Casper as he has not responded. Oh well.

 

[DPG]

I'd have put the £80 towards an MFT rather than buying a fancy bag. But that's just my opinion.

A bag that was brand new. Half the retail price and will last me many years. I’ve looked at it as a worthwhile investment.

Yep, fair point.

 

[Scintillam]

Veto currently have an offer of a free mb3 with some of the tool bags can be found on eBay or beesleys site directly

 

[RDB85]

So I’ve decided that the Velocity is a great bag. But once loaded with tools it’s really heavy. So I’m thinking of either a rolling tool bag or a trolley system:

C.K Magma Technicians Pro Wheeled Case | CK (MA2652)

Magnusson Site system High-impact resin Tool cart | DIY at B&Q

This tool cart is ideal for storing your tools.

Im going to be listing Facoms Top Roller Bag On eBay in a few days time, the bag is excellent with no damage at all, great functional bag. My reason for changing it was i needed more of a Tech Case for the work im involved in now.

I’ve just come across this on eBay. Quite a good price as it’s half the price of any other retailer.

I'm wondering if it's an error as most of their other veto discounts are between £1 and £5 and it's £195 on their own website. Price is probably going to increase considerably, by Monday morning at the latest.

It’s worth a buy I think as surely they would have to honour it. I may get it for Christmas as my siblings don’t know what to buy me.

They may or may not homour the price, but the only way to find out is buying it while at that price.

 

[RDB85]

Went to buy it and it was out of stock. I reckon they have realised that it was a mistake.

There was only a small number showing in stock and sales history indicates they sold within the last hour. Probably bought by people who read this thread - I bet @BiddeldyBwah bought one

I bought one to see if I actually get it. I never intended to pay so much for a handbag. Im sure the wife will love her Christmas present thi

 

[RDB85]

They have come back in stock. I did consider the TP XXL as a Service Bag but I’m thinking this maybe a better buy as a service bag. It being half price helps a little.

 

[RDB85]

Still unsure of whether to get that or the TP XXL. As I’ve been offered a TP5B so I may try that for service work having never owned any Vetos it’s quite hard making a decision.

I looked at the Stanley Tote in B&Q it looked great, just not a fan of open tote bags. As I have my Magnusson set which is great. But not so good when doing services and maintenance work.

The main thing is don't rush into a decision.

That’s true. Price point it’s superb value for money that Tech XL. As a main bag. As I’m trying to split my tools up it would not make sense to use for a service bag. Hence the reason for buying the Magnusson system.

The curious thing is this listing keeps being updated every few hours, if you look at the revision history, so there are always just a few left. Possibly this is something a seller can automate, as I can't believe FFX were awake and updating the listing in the very early hours of Sunday morning?

It's more about generating sales on ebay. Chuck on a quantity of 100 and sales can quickly dwindle, whereas drip feeding tends to keep things moving.

Given the huge reduction in price they'd sell as many by just dumping everything into stock, but I guess they've been conditioned by the peculiarities of ebay's algorithm.

If you buy one of these at that price it will sell for Atleast what you are paying for it. The tp5b were the “free” bag given away in last years sale, this year it was the 4.

Tech pac mc or mct are nice enclosed bay if you want something readonably small

So the FFX listing for the TECH-XL has just been updated again - I guess by a real person this time - to a new price of £205. Will be interesting to see if they actually ship out the 40-odd they sold at £105.

Update: just this minute got an email cancelling my order "due to a pricing error"!

Thank god that's been cleared up i didn't get a minute's sleep last night worrying about all this

 

[RDB85]

One of the lads from work got the email cancelling it. I’m pretty sure that they have to sell it at that price.

Nah. 'Sorry, supplier couldn't get them, we will refund the order.' Common practice and legally sound.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Lots of drop shipping orders being cancelled at the moment due to lack of gear

 

[RDB85]

Having looked at my finances I just can’t justify it. Not at the moment on Min Wage. The thing that seems all too common is people getting FREE bags and tools:

 

[ferg]

Sadly that is the case with most things.
When you can actually afford to be replacing things frequently you have the extra cash to buy the expensive stuff that lasts and saves you money.

 

[RDB85]

Tried my Magnusson Trolley System on a job. I’ve decided that I will need a Main Bag. As the Boxes are good but I’m just using it for Storage. The Facom 14” Tote is great for Servicing but it’s too small for a Main Bag.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Have you tried a bucket ?

 

[RDB85]

Have you tried a bucket ?

I did, Plumbers ended up using it on site.

 

[telectrix]

I did, Plumbers ended up using it on site.

only because they were to lazy to plumb in the toilet.

 

[Dustydazzler]

In all seriousness , I used a bucket quite a lot when I only needed a handful of tools on the job. I would chuck the tools in a bucket and take that onto site. No need to lug my great big stanley box about.

Likewise one of those plastic cleaners caddy boxes is handy if you only need to take 3 or 4 screwdrivers and side cutters to do a quick job.

Trouble I find with big boxes / bags is you fill them up with all sorts of tools and they get too heavy and lugging them about is a pain

 

[LukeD]

Nope.....legally its a "Invitation to tender" .They dont have to accept payment

 

[RDB85]

Finally bought something after finding this online, for a really good price. The material is supposed to be really durable:

Tradesman Pro™ Ultimate Electricians Bag - 554181914 | Klein Tools

The Tradesman Pro™ Organizer Ultimate Electrician's Bag features 55 pockets to keep tools organized. This includes two padded meter pockets inside the bag, and a mesh side pocket. This bag, from Klein Tools, also features lock bars that keep the bag propped open for easy access to tools.

Thats impressive, I wish I could afford one. Unlike some YouTubers who just get them sent to them for free. Which boils my ----.
