Veto pro pac lc warranty

[koolkahuna]

YKK makes a lot of different grades of zippers. Veto does not appear to be using the highest quality one, although they have no qualms about having the highest priced bags. They should rethink their attitude about their customers, I know of no professionals who intentionally abuse their tools. They don't seem to know their customers.

The new bags aren't as tough as the old ones.

Was about to purchase but now I'm going with Klein. Thanks guys!

Which one? Also an above post mentioned a Husky bag and am wondering which one. I think the first one below would way a ton and not hold long tools when zipped shut. The second may work. I have been trying to find an alternative to the Veto everyone raves about because every guy I work with that uses one groans every time they pick it up.

husky sucks. most of the techs at my shop uses veto. I like the idea that I could zip it up when it snow or rain. until someone else make a ziped up bag with hard plastic bottom, I'm sticking with my veto. It's gonna be about a year old next summer.

Why do you say that though? They seem to have everything to offer, protection from the elements and at a decent price. Still waiting for a reply from the guys supporting them and the Klein. One bad thing I see about the Klein is you would look like a college kid walking in. First impressions and all. Veto should be made here for that price...

I've used husky through out until I tried out veto bag. my husky always always broke at the bottom of the side tool pouch, and at where the shoulder strap loops are. my veto has been subjected to the same abuse and the same weight (if not more) and it holds up fine so far. Got some stitches start to unravel, but that's because I drag it up and down the side of buildings.

I think I'll look into this farther.

That does look like a useful setup. If you get it would you please post pictures of the actual bag not drawing? I would appreciate it.

Actually I had the pleasure of meeting of Robert at the AHR expo. I explained to him how big an anti-Veto guy I was because of all the talk here on the site about how great they were, etc but I bought one a few months back after getting the chance to check out a coworkers who also posts here. I also explained to him how for the price they should be made in the USA and how many guys here complain about it and would rather support other American workers.

Unfortunately, Roger explained to me, that no one is tooled up to make the components here so that the bags can be made here. In going from a manufacturing society to a service society no one really has the active machinery for max production. Roger is actively seeking people to make the components for the bags and shared a few stories about the zippers and riveting that he was looking to get done and was told by the companies he checked out there was no way they could do it with the machinery they have. He did say though that he has found somone that believes they can mold the bottoms here in the US for the bags but is going to check the company's samples out within the next month I believe. Its one thing to read an ad, etc., but Roger seems to be a guy thats worked hard all his life and was extremely sincere so be aware that he knows of our complaint and hes actively looking for manufacturers here.

I've got a LT-XL in new condition that i'll sell you.


I have been done with VETO since they tried to pull the warranty BS with me since the very first failure i had with them.

I'd had rather buy a dozen cheapos from the box a year than spend another dollar on a VETO

P.S. i don't care where it's made

[itsiceman]

BT You sound upset. Maybe you would consider paying me to take it off your hands. Is a courtesy if you want to pay for shipping I will step up to the plate and accept it so you can move on from the whole horrible experience
I need a working LT-XL since my zippers busted and they don't make them anymore.

The lack of real pics is holding me up. I did a google images search and received disappointing results. I'm now thinking it may be another bag that will be too tempting to overload. I did have the husky 18" in my possession and got scared at how heavy I would make it.
If others think I am hijacking a thread, maybe I should start a new one.
If I do buy it, I promise to post pics of it loaded up. Really need to commit to a bag, but I am one of those people who put way too much effort into every decision...

I have commitment issues with all of my tool bags. I have so many and they all have tools in them. I literally have at least 3 full sets of tools for service and one for oil maintenance. I also have 2-3 small diagnostic bags. I have a pelican with DMM, insulation tester, test leads, temp probes, manometers, ect.. I can't stop...i'm addicted!! I have some many tools that i forget what i have...i find a tool later and get so pissed off because i would have been useful if i had remembered i had bought. Over loading tool bags... its something i can't stop from doing. I always find a way to neatly cram everything in to any size bag.

I've had my veto almost 10months and its taken a daily beating, shoulder strap is on the verge of breaking and the outer pockets have worn through, my jumper leads now hang out for all to see...
Will be using the warranty soon, will let you peeps know what happens.

Did you end up trying out the warranty dept?

I am in the middle of a frustrating warranty ordeal with the Veto people. Will post full details once it gets resolved.

Chuck, what is the appeal of of the Veto products?
Everyone that I have read people rave about is available in a similar configuration ((not diff enough to make a diff) at Lowes and HD for less. Seem well made too.

Please tell me what i am not getting here.

Please give me a link to a bag with a similar configuration, I have not found one after years of looking and buying tool bags.

The main advantages;
1. Enclosed to keep rain, snow etc off my tools
2. Water proof hard bottom
3. As close to a perfect pocket setup as I have ever seen.

Once you try one you will understand, until then................................

Have you looked at Lowes or Hd?

I asked you cause I did not know what the attraction was.
All the bags i saw at HD and Loews had good pocket set up and zippered to protect the tools.

Yes I have.

[hvac5646]

Yes I have.

C'mon gimme some facts here. If you didn't see any bags that closely resembled Veto products than you didn't see the the same bags I did.

What is the value of the Veto over these bags?

[itsiceman]

Haven't seen one yet that compares
That being said I contacted them a while ago about mine with busted zippers and no love.
Will have to get back with them and see what the deal is. Are they going outta buiz or something?

Thanks Ice.
Sure not the same service we get from our suppliers...I'm gonna stick with with what I have....a big bucket and Bucket Buddy. Gives a guy a place to sit instead of kneel.
