Great For The Pros
Over all, this is a very good tool carrier. I was initially caught off-guard by the weight of the bag itself. Once filled with tools, it becomes much heavier. The shoulder strap is an excellent feature for this product. I have transfered my hand tools from one portable carrier to the Veto Pro Pac and find that I still have not used all the pockets and there is room for longer tools on the adjacent side. It allows me to carry more tools in one pack which cuts down on trips out to the truck. It's quite durable and all zippers work very well and slide easily. It's a large bag, so make sure there's room enough in your vehicle before purchasing.

Veto Pro Pac XXL-F "very nice"
The build quality of this tool bag is second to none; however, the size of the bag is a little smaller than I had hoped. If you have longer screwdrivers and pliers you will have to lay them down on the non-vertical loading side. Also, the bag could use more useful outside pockets.

Veto Pro Pac XXL is Top Notch
This is without a doubt, the best designed and best quality tool bag I have ever owned. It is durable, made from quality materials and the upright tool storage design enables it to hold a lot of tools. Open bay on one side is good for larger items like drills, meters, chargers and hammers. This bag protects what is in it. Because of its large carrying capacity, it is quite heavy when fully loaded. Definately the best bag out there.

No other bag in the world is like it, I promise.
I just purchased the xxl bag, but I have owned the smaller xl bag for 2 years. I wrote a good review on the xl when I purchased it 2 years ago and now I will write the larger xxl review. My first impression was that this bag is shorter in height that the xl bag! I felt cheated for about 30 minutes. But to compensate, I learned that both the xxl and the xl, fully loaded with tools, weight about the same which is critical factor. I think the many pencil pockets in the xxl could be 1 inch deeper, (are you listening, Veto?) and could use "more" of them, but after it is all loaded with tools, it seems to work for me.
Many of you are confused about why to buy the xxl or the xl. I will tell you flat out. The xxl will carry your cordless drill and battery !! The xl will not. At work I use the xl bag every day of the week, and I carry several cordless professional tools, (vacuum, light, drill on a cart or some such, ) and I love it. But at home with no carts, etc, my family and friends require a smaller set of general tool that include the cordless drill to be the only cordless part of my tool bag. Therefore I use the xxl at home and on weekends for others. I grab the bag and the drill and charger is already inside it! You got to love it.
To newbies, the carry strap could not be better!. The bottom is still water proof for wet flooded floors. The zippers have not failed me yet, which would greatly affect it's usefullness if they failed, but they remain good and spill proof.
Let me add; I have been searching for a 'better' bag for 2 years since I bought the XL. I am a obsessive/complusive tool guy. But I have not found a bag better than the Veto bag. In fact, not even close! I swear that on a Bible. And I own now and have owned in the past, dozens of miscellaneous bag styles from known and unknown vendors.
If you lose track of your tools and are not in the habbit of storing tools neatly for their next use, then you have absolutely no need for this well organized, well designed tool bag. If you are constantly looking for ways to improve your tool readiness, then this is the bag for you. And no, I do not get paid for my comments, sigh. This bag is simply great and is the mark of a professional verses a hack tradesman. I just stocked my xxl bag this evening and I can say that the pocket side, (verses the open no-pocket side) will not hold my dead weight hammer and similar sized pipe wrench. So I must store them in the open side. But considering the weight issues of making the bag taller, I suspect that the designers well knew what they were doing when they lenghtened the xxl bag and shortened the height of the xxl ( the 25" long carpenters bag). Well, I will not wait to use the bag to write my review because I have used the xl daily for 2 years, so my best impressions are right now, after seeing it and loading it with tools.
The open side (not the pocket side) holds my very large 18 volt dewatt hammer drill with the battery attached; and it holds the single battery charger; and my dewatt cordless droplight without battery,,, also it holds; my deadblow hammer; a heavy 6' extension tri-cord; and two 18" quick clamps; and a hand saw; There is still room for a 24" level , and a few 24" drill bits, etc. Its all tight, and there is no room left to carry assortments of screws, etc, but I will not down rate it for that because it carries so many vertical tools. I wish the pocket side would hold my deadblow hammer, sigh.
Honestly, I was worried that the 25 inch lenght would make the bag too heavy for use, but as described above, it is a good balance between weight and size/volume of tools.

still good after 2 1/2 years
I ordered this bag in Oct 2004 when it was first available after waiting at least a year for VETO PRO PAC to start production. I knew the other two bags they make were too small for my purposes. I use it every day in my remodeling business - it is surprising how many clients have commented on it when I carry it into their homes. I have my electrical tools on the side with the pouches and I have my mechanical tools (sockets, box/open end and adjustable wrenches, etc) in a canvas tool "roll-up" on the other "pouchless" side. Along with the roll-up, I have two 1 1/2" ABS and one 2" ABS sections of pipe about 6" long which are capped with PVC caps (they slip off easier than the ABS caps). The two smaller ones contain all my masonry bits and misc. tools (nail sets, Vorx bits, etc.). The 2" pipe section holds all my spade bits. The bag has held up (including all the zippers) and, for the $149 I paid, was well worth the money. I had gone thru a Bucket Boss (in the 5 gallon pail), a Nichols bag on wheels (they don't make them any more), and a milk crate "affair" that I had cobbed up. The only concerns I have about this bag is that the "eyeglass" pouch is far too small for any pair of safety glasses (I put mine in a Tupperware container and throw that in the bag) and that it wouldn't fit my Dewalt drill/screwdriver's plastic case (like the milk crate or Nichols bag would). But so what - I just have that Dewalt case in my other hand when I walk in the client's home. The bag is pretty much maxed out for weight right now and there still is a little more room inside. I laugh when a client offers to help me carry out my tools to my van at the end of the day. If they pick up this tool bag, they set it right back down because it is so heavy. But I haven't found any of the tools that I have in the bag are "unnecessary" so I just deal with the weigh for the short distances that I have to carry the bag.
