Good video. I feel the same it's too small for a main service bag I use mine for electrical work like replacing the thermostat and diverter valve heads. I've replaced it with the Dewalt 2.0 tool bag it's a little better

Great vid! Nice to see some honesty too! Personally, I think a lot of the big premium branded bags are aimed at Sparks - they all seem to be good in concept but just lacking a little. I’m currently using the Velocity 4.5 backpack - it’s nice and quite good but use it for servicing or quick jobs only, my Dewalt McLaren I’d say is probably more suited! Keep em coming bro!

@@SmartPipePlumbing I’ve been wanting to do a video like this myself for a while but still trying to find the perfect setup before doing it 😂 I’ll keep you posted but let me know if you have any ideas for the OTMC and the SDLD!

I have the same one, definitely more for sparks etc than plumbers, I’m a spark and it works fine with me with screwdrivers, volt tester, pliers snips and grips, does most jobs with what it carries. However I agree about the two long pockets- totally pointless and the Velcro top that never stays down, I also find it tops foward very easily but it’s convenient size and seems well built.

You really dont need a tool bag of that size with the amount of tools you have.. A more compact bag wouid be more fitting. The bag itself is probably heavier than the tools. Based on observation, i can tell the bag is top heavy because it's too high and the base is too small. I'm annoyed by thst bag already and i don't own it, i'd sell it quick.

@@SmartPipePlumbing I've been looking at tool totes and tool bags for awhile and bought many. Veto pro pack, DeWalt bags, husky, tough built, and many others. I'm a full time handyman so I have quite a few bags for different trades. For plumbing I settled with husky 14" large mouth. Husky makes very good bags and I consider them prograde. The other bag I settled with is welkinland 14" tool bag, which I use for electrical. My main set up is a husky bucket sleeve and bucket which I used for larger jobs, etc. One thing I have learned over the years is you really don't need a large bag to do most residential work. simple, light, and quality is what I prefer. Good luck on your hunt.

Personally i think all this velocity stuff is overpriced and not needed. Had a metal cantilever fold out box , £25 from Halfords for years. I like tool boxes / holders that you can just chuck your tools in at the end of the day. I'm currently using a Dewalt power tool case as my my main toolbox. Just chuck the tools back in and no organising.
