Thanks for the heads up on this one Doc. I had a couple of those klein buckets and didn't like them at all. Same reasons as you. This fluke looks like it corrects a lot of the issues I had with the kleins. My around the house/frequently used tools bag is a gearwrench 83126. I have no major complaints, though I do wish the handle was a bit taller. It's serving me well.
Many moons ago an old boss of mine left our company to become CEO of Fluke®. We teased him mercilessly with the long running quip “If it works, it’s a Fluke®!” He was a great guy, and these days I have a lot of Fluke® tools that are great - I’m a fan.
If you use a 3.5 or 5-gallon bucket tool bag in/out insert, do yourself a favor and upgrade the bucket to a Shurhold bucket. Shurhold's have a thick rope as a handle instead of a cheap thin wire that most buckets have. A complete game changer and way more comfortable if the bucket is heavier. Used it earlier today!
I love Veto tool bags as a service tech I’ve had a lot of different bags and totes over the years and they’re the best I’ve used I have three of them and I’m sure I’ll buy a fourth. The company was started by a tradesman so he had a good grasp of how to set a bag up.
This gets a lot of things right, as you well point out. One thing I think these kinds of storage should have, that they don't (AFAIK), is an elastic hood that can be pulled over it at times to keep flying sawdust, bugs, a passing rainshower, etc., mostly out, that can easily and quickly be pulled off out of the way. Ideally such a retractable cover could be zipped shut, and the zipper have holes for a small lock to keep small kids away from sharp tools if used at home or, if you're working near people you shouldn't deeply trust elsewhere, to keep a casual easy walk-by from becoming a casual easy tool-good-bye. I know, toolboxes have all that, and tool bags (except for their outside pockets) but they're often not as convenient. My two cents.
I have wondered how the Milwaukee new redone totes compare to these, the veto stuff and other totes that people here have tried? I have the old style Milwaukee packout tote and I like it but there is some things I don't love and have wondered if I should switch to the Milwaukee new one or veto. Been especially curious about the Milwaukee over the veto because I love the packout cleats system. Veto seems like the best and Milwaukee seems to have copied it. I am thinking the 10 inch which is what I currently have
@@lastbesttool I get what the insulation is for, but typically pump pliers are used for plumbing or other connectors, i never came across a live terminal that needed pump pliers . I saw them on the knipex site but never seen someone actually own them is why i ask.
HD Husky just updated their tool bags, just picked up the 14 inch SKU # 1009028706, 1680D with ripstop polyester. The sales person didn’t even know they had them, had to get them out of shipping box, they didn’t have shelf space for them yet.
Husky's aren't bad. I have the large roller with the expandable handle. It's not the bags fault but it takes a lot of room up in the back of my SUV. I bought a Veto DR-XL. It fits almost as much with great organization. I can also put large items, cased tools in the middle. I'm lazy so I don't like opening and closing a bag. This while it can stay open it can also zipper.

Gearwrench 83126 is coming up as a 1/4 in socket set. I think your bag is a 83146 in case anyone else was looking.
@@ryanpaul5604 You're right, fixing it now. Thanks for the heads up!

I love watching your videos and learning more about tools. I just started collecting and you make me want to find and buy everything lol

The bucket boss is what i liked the best
I picked up a new Dewalt 20" tote last week and I love it. Big and sturdy with a hard bottom and a rotating handle. Only $70 at the time too.
A brand I didn't hear you mention is CLC (Custom Leathercraft). I used them for years until i found Veto.
I’ve been using the Klein oval 29 pocket tote w/o any tip overs for a while now. I believe it was originally designed for use in a bucket truck.

Pretty handy unit it appears…….although still mad at fluke for awhile longer at least …. I want their 2062 once I’m better 👍🏻
I was gonna get a fluke back pack but even though its their most popular meter, they dont make a bag with a pocket for a 87V
Good morning Doc from mid Tn.
Can you review and pack out the Milwaukee tot bag?
It’s sitting right here. Love it!
When/why would you ever use 1000v insiulated cobra pliers? (Genuinely asking)
For work around battery terminals and connectors. The insulation protects against arc-flash and arc-blast shorts as well as the user.

My tired old eyes prefer brightly colored interiors.
