No more junk tools! Compact Veto toolkit with Wera, Knipex, Milwaukee to tackle most projects

Looking for ideas on how to assemble and organize your toolbag? I collected a set of compact, multi-functional hand tools from Wera, Wiha, Knipex, Milwaukee, Dewault, and Dremel to replace the junk tools I've had forever. It's now super organized into a Veto TP-LC toolbag that that is just the right size to grab when I'm working on a project around the house and has everything I need to do 90% of my projects in a tiny kit.

In this video I walk through why I chose these multi-functional tools and organize them in this new Veto bag. I also show how this toolkit compares in size and weight to my Leatherman Surge toolkit and why I thin there's a place for both.

Hey all! I made a v2 of this toolkit with a ton of changes, check it out here:

Nice kit. I've been in the commercial refrigeration service field for 30 years, and if you look in my van you will see multipal veto bags of varying sizes, from the belt pouch all the way up to the backpack. Veto is the only brand I will buy. Inside the bags, all you will find are Klein, Wera, Knipex, and Wiha. I have a ton of money invested in my tools, but when that's how you make your money, you get the best 👌

I love having an excuse to buy some good quality tools.

[lcarrasco]

This has to be the best tool bag setup I’ve ever seen

[SavageVoyageur]

You did the same thing as I did. I put together a new set of tools for DIY projects around the house. I just retired from being a mechanic for 42 years. I have 1000’s and 1000’s of dollars of tools. But they were used hard and rusty or greasy and well used. Thanks for the advice.

[roninkam]

I really appreciate you for pronouncing wera and wiha correctly

Oooh this tickles my brain just right. I love the idea of having a simple kit in one bag. Saves me having to chase my workshop tools down from around the house when they get "borrowed".

[chickenfist]

I think it's awesome.

My tools are kept in a toolbox/cabinet thing in a tiny workshop/studio at the bottom of my garden. Which can be a pain when it's pouring with rain and you need a quick fix for something. In the time it takes me to get down there and get the tools I need I could have fixed it. And I always have to make several trips because I forget something. This would be ideal for me, and I'm a sucker for bags and cases. Got a Surge too!

A couple of ideas, the Klein 27in 1 precision driver will cover basically all of your small screw tasks and contains security bit styles I didn't see elsewhere. I'd also consider a small pair of Knipex bolt cutters along side the dikes. one thing I dont see that is a MUST is a magnetic screw retriever..super cheap and will save you a huge headache, I also like a pair of serrated locking forcepts for similar reasons as they can get into places that almost nothing else can.

Cheers!

I went to auto mechanic school in 1972, then in 1976 I got into Aviation Electronics and earned my first pilot's license. Kept working in Avionics paid my way for the rest of my pilot's licenses and became a Maritime Surveillance Pilot for 30 years. Never abandoned electronics or some light mechanic work so tools are still a passion. Love your channel keep up the good work. Thank you.

[jan-hinnerkwilkens]

great video. Thanks. It took me 6 years to find the tools I want to keep in my tool case. Since I keep my tools mostly in L Boxxes I still use a small one as case and a bigger one as box but I totally agree to use good tools. Next to wera I also use Gedore, Stahlwille, Knipex and Picard. They all belong to what we call the Werkzeug Mafia around Wuppertal and make awsome tools

Excellent video on some nice tool choices, and also a good example of a tool bag set up. Many videos out there simply re-hash every tool the guy has bought for the past decade, and the tool bag set up involves throwing everything in a large bag, which suddenly grows to 30 to 60 lbs.

[ralphnye]

Thx, that Milwaukee folding saw with changeable blades 👍🏼👍🏼& that prybar/hammer wow super cool 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[nickwit]

I am literally going to recreate that entire tool bag! My wallet will not be happy, but boy, that is a well thought out kit!

[robertmcgee]

Been binge watching a lot of tool tours and box lay outs and this kit both of them actually are quite impressive. to do everything it does and be under 20 pounds is quite impressive

[Neiltube]

I heard a great quote that helps me feel better about buying good and better tools. "The electrical trade requires skills worthy of good tools" insert whatever trade you wish. I love being a professional and having good tools makes even more fun

[jamestheferret]

I bought the veto pack after watching this video, mines more geared towards mechanics which is what I need. Today my neighbour stopped me and said his lawn mower was broken, grabbed the bag and fixed it, absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much for your video

[SamGreenMaker]

This is pretty dang close to the tool kit I’ve been dreaming about. Something high end, compact yet very capable. Well done might have to steal this set up

Nice setup! .. I really admire those who can function with the imperial measurement. Every time I see those fractions I think to myself that I'm very lucky that I live in a country that use the metric system 😅

[devscally]

That's a nice kit. For someone who lives in an old house, I can confirm that this would be an ideal grab kit to have in your cupboard instead of having to go to the tool chest everytime you need to do a job indoors (because my tools never find their way back to the tool chest). Only thing I would add, personally, is an RJ45 crimping tool and a few RJ45 plugs.
