Veto
4.8

"Veto mpx2! Carries everything you need 90% of the time"

"I have the MP1 tool pouch and it has ample room for everything I need..."
"Veto MPX2 is what I use. After 10 years of using cheap box store pouches I spent the $100 and am very happy I did."
"Veto makes the best tool bags, period. Pricey, but tougher than anything else I've ever had."
"Love the Veto MP1, not enough weight to cause hip issues in the future, and also not bulky to get in the way."
"I know it's not all leather. but i use the veto tp3b and will never use a different pouch."

Veto Pro Pac
4.6
(12)
"I've said it before and I'll say it again; Veto Pro Pac!"
"Veto pro pack"
"I have the smaller version for quick service work and holds everything I need for a quick job. Would 100% recommend their other bags as well."
"Veto Pro Pac also gets my nod for tool storage. Their quality is second to none."
"Another one veto pro pack love the bag compared to klein biggest thing that drove me insane was I always had to rest the klein bag on a wall so it doesn't tip over, and zippers are shit. Pro bag stand son its own and zippers are good and sturdy, love the pockets"
"Definitely 2nd a vote for Veto, with all their bag choices there is something for almost everyone."
"If you're really serious you can't go wrong with a veto pro-pac. Best tool bags I've ever seen. Waterproof bathtub bases so no worries about setting it down in a puddle or slush and snow."
"Veto pro pac makes a great all leather pouch although it’s a little pricey."
"I rock a veto pro pack for my tools but work with a couple of guys who run the atlas46 stuff and it all seems quality."
"Veto MP1, but if your looking for something more inexpensive, I have heard great things from a guy on here about tough built."
