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

- 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.
Not sponsored. Just obsessed with tools.

Hey all! I made a v2 of this toolkit with a ton of changes, check it out here:
czcams.com/video/VOkSFZuP3qs/video.html
Suggestion : Get the Wera VDE Interchangeable Screwdriver set (The Hilti branded set is identical) ...
You won't use any other screwdriver after that.
Because it's so compact and has an ergonomic pouch that allows you to check if any Screwdriver is missing , after a year of usage , My staff have never lost a single screwdriver 🤣
I love having an excuse to buy some good quality tools.
Exactly this.
This is what I tell my wife when she asks for something "don't give me an excuse to buy more tools"
Wait.....we need an excuse?
Buying quality tools is the excuse.
I have no excuse, as a Millwright, quality tools matter. No busted knuckles from Harbor Freight tools
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
I love that kit. Will be adding a few things to my small kit, but if I lived in an apartment or didn't have a lot of room this would be great! You can get a lot of work done out of that bag for sure.
Thx, that Milwaukee folding saw with changeable blades 👍🏼👍🏼& that prybar/hammer wow super cool 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow, excellent DIY tool kit here! Thanks for sharing your ideas. I put together a "grab bag" for camping and road trips last year since I wanted to be prepared for most repairs or fixes while on the road. This one is way more extensive and I'll be sure to check out some of these options!
Thanks Jason! It’s so fun trying to optimize everything. I think I have a problem
Be advised Jason that you could probably buy an impact wrench from many reputable manufacturers for your RV/camper (which blow out tires frequently) and put together an effective grab bag for the price of the one shown in the video. Just throwing that out there lol
🎉 well I think you can arrange a coupon or qr code to purchase the jason special. In one click I be up for that.
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".
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!
Cool. Set some alerts on Slickdeals and camelcamelcamel (Amazon) and you can slowly buy things on sale
@@todd.parkerthank you my friend
But people like me should sue you
Total price?
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 👌
Thanks for sharing!
After just getting a new job and being ‘back on the tools’ this is just what I needed cheers 👍🏻
I recently got more organized with a toughbuilt tool bag and new tools I was lacking. Love being able to go to one bag for everything I need. I many of the same tools you do.
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.
This has to be the best tool bag setup I’ve ever seen
I made an intermediate size kit that falls right in-between your two kits based upon the Wera Tool-Check. You are right on the money that those little things pack a giant punch! 😊
Very nice toolkit! Watched it multiple times for inspiration for my own toolkit!
Very curious to see the bigger (power)tools you might use as well! Will keep an eye out, as I’m waiting for your new videos!
Keep up the good work!
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
Awesome setup. There were a couple of tools I never thought of but I'll now be getting first thing tomorrow
Great video. Lots of products I never knew about that I now want. For me, that's a perfect tool kit to keep inside my house and save me a trip to the garage on a cold wet winter day.
Exactly why I made it. Sick of not having the right tools between the basement and garage
Excellent kit! I would think the Surge kit would great for EDC & this new set- up for home & to carry in your car and/or camper...Good video, thanks!
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!
Awesome, thanks for all the ideas. Big fan of your channel!
Which Knipex bolt cutters would be the most versatile
I love your bag! Their is something very satisfying about owning quality tools. I recently purchased a Festool cordless drill and it’s so awesome that I actually look forward to using it.
That is quite nice, profound throughout setup!
Great idea and great video. This puts me on a path to down size, again, the tool caddy I have for the house. It's capable of taking care of basic household, plumbing and HVAC repairs. But now I see where I can improve. Thanks!
Right on!
One of the best and most thought out kits I’ve seen so far. Nicely done!
Wow, thanks!
GREAT VIDEO!Thank you for tagging all the tools!
Very good quality toolkit, especially the minimalist design fitting as much as possible into as little as possible.
Great tool kit and a nice clear video.
I have a similar array of tools but that Milwaukee saw handle is something I need. I also pack the Knipex compact bolt cutter which is amazing for repeated wire and screw cutting. Thanks.
That is an excellent tool pouch! Thanks for sharing this!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching
Nice to see some of the tools actually have some use
Quality tools is my mission for the next couple of years. I’ve started with Knipex and Klein. Going to research Wiha and Wera now. Thanks for the ideas!
Personally I’ve found them to be over priced. I’ve never regretted any knipex purchase though. For screwdrivers I would watch out for second hand snapon or vintage craftsmen.
Got some Wera, Wiha and Knipex and Klein for work. Quality professional tools! Will last and feel right in the hand.
This is a wonderful display of careful consideration and practicality. Im getting into the electrical field and checking out tool reviews, Im really liking some of the options youve displayed here
Glad you liked it. I'm working on refining this kit based on everyone's comments and will do a follow-up at some point.
Todd I really enjoyed this out in Australia. Great to see some awesome brands of tools. I have a lot of the same and swear by them even when I get some looks for using European tools. Have now subscribed and look forward to checking out your other videos. Nic.
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.
Thanks! That’s exactly why I set up this kit. Quick to grab and keeps my tools from getting lost. I’ll probably add a multi-tool and maybe a wire stripper
Agree pal, where is my hammer, oh its still in the kitchen from 2 weeks ago!
If you are just working on your house and buy these tools your probably not a great Investor. I'm a professional craftsman and it's hard for me to buy tools this expensive even though they make me my money, if I was just a homeowner there is absolutely no way I could justify having these tools
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 😅
Trust me, imperial is terrible but it’s what I’m used to. Still working to build an intuitive sense of metric so I can switch. Been buying metric tools, step one!
I hate Imperial , who ever thought 32nds , 64ths was a good idea ! Being a Lazy old Bugger , I wish I only had to carry one set of sockets , wrenches etc !
I wish the U.S. had switched to the metric system when the rest of the world did.
The imperial system is a real pain to remember all its various measurements, and those fractions 🙄
Alas I grew up being taught imperial, and I'm old enough to have used it so long it is indelibly ingrained in my brain.
With products imported from metric countries, and the inconsistent use of it here we need to buy 2 sets of tools. I guess that's a big win for tool manufacturers 🤔🙄
The worst thing I have dealt with is some American made vehicles of certain vintage have both imperial, AND metric fasteners on the same unit.
If you deal exclusively with metric you're lucky, and good for you 👍
Wish we had it that easy.
A Victorinox Swiss army knife such as the SwissChamp can be attached to the bag loops. It Adds many useful items like scissors, magnifying glass, pen, reamer, tweezers etc. It is the one item I put in my pocket once at a work area. Saves many steps once up a ladder or working under a car.
Good call
Very good choices of tools. Inspirational video. I was thinkin about reorganizing my toolset but now I'm decided to do it!
Go for it!
All the tools Looks so new
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
Thanks. I've been refining this kit quite a bit, maybe I'll do a follow-up...
Q
Loved that the tools are clearly well used but maintained very clean! Good job on the video!
Thank you!
Great set up 🔥 .. thanks for sharing 👍
10:42 Hi Todd, another fascinating look into the Parker mind! Very nice organizational pouch and set of tools. Speaking of quality, I still have a set of Craftsman tools (socket set and screw drivers) purchased in the ‘70s that are still my favorite. I struggle with the myriad “once used” tools that sit in a drawer that might have a more fun life if donated. So, since I have completed my solar generator, grid failure project using two Delta 2s and a manual 6 circuit transfer switch and back up 100 ah 12 v LiFePO4 battery, I’ll get to reducing my 40+ years of tool accumulation, including power tools… Thank you for all your creative, well done videos that, surprisingly, dovetail with my current interests/projects. You have a knack for selecting video projects that are technically timely for me, and judging by the comments, many others.
Thanks, seems we both have shared interests. I know I’m supposed to focus on one topic but I like making videos on whatever random thing I’m obsessed with researching and building at the moment and hope there are others out in the world who might find it interesting. Glad you’re on of ‘em, thanks for watching
Awesome video and thanks for sharing‼️🙌🏻
Ain't a dirty tool in that bag!😂
I have a very similar kit but I use a Milwaukee backpack and Klein screwdrivers. Thanks for the excuse to upgrade 😂 knipex pliers are a game changer. 10 years doing fire sprinklers
This is now my favorite tool video & I want every tool featured! I had no idea of that retractable handheld saw that uses reciprocating saw blades which is perfect to exchange between tools if needed.
My condolences to your wallet but this kit makes me happy every time I grab it
I have a huge snap on box filled with snap on tools, but this video has me wanting to go out and build this exact setup to keep in my car lol. Great video!
Nice kit, one of my recent favorites you may like. Engineer extraction pliers.
Thank you for this video. Its comprehensive and I'm pretty sure I'm picking up a couple items from your bag.
Thanks for sharing. I love ur selection especially the KNIPEX! I bought the PACKOUT tote and love it but yours is sweet as well. Great eye candy for us handymen!
Thanks for watching.,the packout is really sweet too. I just needed small or I’d turn it into a boat anchor with gear
i love the micro kit! very cool!
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!
The dremel is prefect! Thanks for the video mate.
Great carefully selected tool bag ....... I am on my way to doing that as well so thanks a lot for your suggestions 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Great review. Very thorough. You gave me some great ideas. I use the Leather man 300 model, it’s lighter than the Surge and the File is way wider and longer. I wear the Canvas Leatherman Pouch on my left side and bought the Knipex Pouch Combo Kit W/6” Wire Cutter and 6” Cobra Wrench for my right side. Carry one more individual Flashlight pouch on my right. With Combination I can repair many small things.
Only thing I would change is the $40 micro USB rechargeable headlamp at 600 lumens from home Depot... Super bright, compact, and also handy for dark work instead of the small 300 lumen LED flashlight you got on deck
Love the dremel
Always use it to screw in receptacles, cover plates etc
Lightweight stuff
Nice, organization is key. Tools have come a long way from when I first started buying them ....
Great post, super helpful, very nicely done. Thank you for that amazing video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Love it. I do the same, and run basically the same toolset that you do. Same fastback, Check Plus, knipex, Surge, markers, dewalt tape, and many other same tools. You have great taste. Also i have 2 Veto bags. My TP3B rides across my body daily, and my MB-MC tool bag carries my fine carpentey hand tools.
I enjoyed this video, you make a lot of sense in your tools and uses and descriptions. Thanks.
Good stuff!
Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
This is fantastic, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Thank you 🙏🏼 perfectly made video with tones of useful information
Glad it was helpful!
You can never go wrong with quality.
Great tool kit. Truly.
I love knipex tools, very well made.
Nice kit, made me wanna assemble the bag/bucket style kit, haven't had that allure in the past.
Have some of the tools, but specifically the ToolCheck Plus is amazing, was like you skeptical but so happy with it for many many years.
I have the Wera mini tool set and I have to tell you as a long-distance truck driver and owner operator they are invaluable and of excellent build quality !
Great to hear! I really like my tool check plus. It’s just such a well thought out tool that packs in a ton of features.
Very nice presentation. Thanks
I use those Wera Allen wrenches every day at a steel mill in Pittsburgh. Such a solid set. Love them.
Thanks. Yeah they are surprisingly beefy but still effective in tight spaces. Love ‘em
Really good load out. Great job loading the bag up without overloading it.
Thanks 👍
Wow 👏😍
That's an awesome tool kit! I feel like I need to build one now.
You should!
All top quality tools. Good video
Awesome vid, thanks for sharing! Literally was looking for something just like this, featuring the TP-LC!
Glad you liked it!
Great video and great kit, thanks for posting the links 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
AWESOME video!! Thank you
Such a great compilation of tools. I would love to have one everything you featured. I’ll get there over time. Thanks for this well produced and presented video.
Thanks! I made a new video showing all the steps improvements I’ve made here: czcams.com/video/VOkSFZuP3qs/video.htmlsi=PUTvW-tgLbrwxyTU
Nice collection I have similar but with electricians leather tool pouch I don’t have Dremel electric screw driver but I will look into it for sure. I have pretty much everything else and just a bit more as I tend to do more electrical and car repairs so I have more wrenches and sockets as well as volt meter and test light. I use this bag pretty much for every thing in the house or when we hit the road.
Great kit and video 👍🏼👍🏼
I work in farm and have been looking for an easy pack to organise my daily tools. This sounds right up my alley
Cool. That Veto bag is just enough to fit what you need but not so big you overdo it
One awesome video!
I love good tools. Were some very familiar ones in there. I love them Knipex and Wera products and therefore got myself also of them.
And yes - that bag was pretty damn awesome. Would surely love to own one.
The bag was a game changer for me. It’s so organized and compact
this is crazy... he has almost perfact tools in a one perfact bag. love it~
I have the Bosch version of the dremel thing you have.. exactly the same. I have used metal epoxy to glue a wera rapidaptor into the end so that bits don’t flop around or fall out easily… works like a dream 👍
Jinx. I recently did the exact same thing with my Rapidapter but used superglue. If that let’s go, I’ll try metal epoxy next time. So far so good and makes drilling pilot holes possible
I really appreciate you for pronouncing wera and wiha correctly
Good to hear because I butchered Knipex!
Good plan because tools, like jewellery, are something where quality is far more important than quantity. It’s a lesson I wish I’d learned far earlier- it would have saved me a lot of money and frustration over the years.
BRO!!!! Exactly what I was looking for! 🙏🏻
Nice!
A great substitute for the knipex cobra’s are Irwin groove lock pliers (channel locks). I’ve had the same set now for years that I’ve used to tighten conduit.
An excellent video. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾🎉🥰👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed it
Works great, not sure why so many complaints from others czcams.com/users/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Battery life is good and comes with two blades. For those complaining about the missing nuts... It's not detrimental to the functionality of the device and can be easily replaced with a string instead.
That is a nice bag and a pretty slick tool setup 👌
Thanks 👍
The skil power driver is definitely a good pick, only being just under 40 bucks it has a similar power to the Dremel, nice light, and the action is done by a twist on a bit of the front of the handle. It also includes a non contact voltage tester and locking collet
It is also shorter than the Dremel, and would open a spot in your bag
I've been waiting for this video my entire life. Thanks Mr. Parker! **Add all to cart - Buy it now**
Ha. Glad it was just what you were looking for. Good to see other people appreciate good tools and organization like I do!
I carry a backpack with a similar tool layout to yours, and similar explanation as to why I carry that, expect for I do carry a 12v Bosch drill and 12v angle grinder to cover most of the things I do often, before entering 18v territory.
I have the older dremel for over 4 years now well worth it to me, and it gets used almost daily as i work on xray machines.
Nice load out. Veto are so well made! Personally I would add a multimeter for testing voltage, continuity and other stuff. I like the Uni-T ones, especially UT210, as they are cheap and quite compact. Some can even measure DC current with the clamp.
You read my mind! I've been researching smaller clamp/fork multimeters that measure DC amps (I have a bigger meter that won't fit) and the Uni-T UT210e seems like a winner. Do you like yours? That could also replace my non-contact voltage pen. I see a follow-up video in my future with everyone's advice folded in...
@@todd.parker As a matter of fact, it's the 210e model that I've got (In my Veto TP-XL) . I like it very much. As you say, it can replace the NCV-pen and isn't that much larger anyway. Another nice thing about the UT210, the probes are replaceable too, and I'll probably change mine for higher quality ones in the future. They don't exactly feel like Fluke probes. I owned a pocket multimeter from Uni-t (120A I think it was, probably better suited for electronics) in the past, but since I wanted to measure current too, I got the 210e.
@@kristiangravem Cool. I'll be copying you then! I had the same thought on probes. I'd like to find a short pair of nicer ones like Fluke to keep the tangles down in this bag. I'm usually just testing solar panel arrays so I don't need much length.
Nice kit!
Excellent naritive. Great reference video.
Glad you liked it!
Wow great video buddy, Awesome tools 👏
Thanks 👍
Great video. Thank you.
That’s a diy dream kit great bag
