Finally a company that stands behind their product....and honors their warranty....thats kinda rare nowadays. Thanks for sharing the video Chris
When I was an electrician (retired now) I had hit or miss with warranty claims like Klein Tools and other manufacturers. I'm glad you were able to get a replacement. Tools are too expensive to keep shelling out your hard working money!!
5 year no down time warranty can’t beat it! Great video
Surely a climbers sling is a much cheaper and more versatile option than the hoist strap, thread it through both loops and attach your carabiner for a central point of lift. Also they could be a lighter weight and less cumbersome than the Pro Pack strap, would still give you access to the handle while still maintaining a central point of pull. They're rated for huge weights so a strap shouldn't have a problem with your packs.
Why buy anything his normal rope has a carabina on it pass it thru the loop pulling the rope clip the carabina onto the rope jobs a goodun total cost big fat ZERO
Great video about the veto.
I literally didn't hear a word the first 2 times i watched it, i was mesmerized by how organized your van shelving is with the plastic cases.
Used to have rolly-bags for work (sales/reps - nothing heavy duty like this!) and it was incredible how some bags we got just SUCKED and other bags really stood the test of time. Lots of miles on those rolly-bags. Hard to tell in advance when a brand/model was going to be good. I wish we had a bag like this!
Besides 40+ years in HVACR, I was also a part time charter bus driver for 35 years and went for multiple day trips often. I could pack everything I needed for a 4-5 day trip into a medium sized one, and it could be bulky. In addition to the telescoping handle, there was a heavy duty strap handle that is used to carry it after putting the telescoping handle back in. And slinging luggage into the bays all those years, most every suitcase has them. I’m surprised the Veto bag doesn’t have that for that exact purpose you mentioned, carrying it up stairs. That strap could also be used, alone or in part, for hoisting it up with a rope. For my HVACR days, I mostly used a heavy duty bag like the one you pack parts, etc up to a roof. But hey, they covered yours under the warranty.
Man !!!!! I’m retired after 35 years a year ago. I had a small veto for my trouble shoot. But I had a bucket boss 44 to hoist up anything else. After I figured out what Need on the 1st trip at the Van. I’d be down the roof thinking about fixing the unit while your still trying to figure how to put that straps on.
Good video I’m glad Veto came through. They’ve always warrantied my bags whenever I’ve had issues.
Appears on video, this bag / pack has a metal plate on top with a hole in it. If plate is solid, could be used a rope lift point. I used to lift bags by rope from their handles, occasionally from the bag thin side D rings. (Time consuming for extra rigging).
This is really common for telescoping handles. I think I may have mentioned before but I spent 9 years making very high end flight cases that used recessed wheels and telescoping handles. These were common issues on those as well. Feet, man it took me forever to find a well made foot with a metal inside so it'd stay fastened to the bottom of the case. After replacing a couple, I learned to manufacture my cases in such a way that I could nearly replace the handle without taking the whole case apart. If they'd given me captive nuts then I could have done it 100%, but it was still an improvement. Really curious to see how this works out! I avoided the wheeler not only because it seems super heavy, but I don't think my wife would go for the price tag either :) One of my students has a blackout pro pac and the threads came out of the strap, completely. I'll see if I can get a photo of it. I told him to call them and get it warrantied.
I’ve broken two mp2 pouches. Snaps do not hold up. They replaced the first one no problem. Second one I’m rockin with a zip tie! Love the pouch. Love the company. Snaps are terrible. Might as well just drill the snaps out when you get them and use a zip tie or 550 cord.
My hardshell toolcase I use at work has wheels as well and you can guess what broke first. Granted our trainees back then thought it was smart roll a 38kg (about 75 pounds) toolcase over rough cobblestone pavement, but in the long run it would have failed there every time. And just to point it out: the case was ratetd for 40kg.
I bought my blackout right before they announced the wheel version. I feel like trying to rig wheels and a handle to it sometimes, but if it ever wears out, I'll upgrade.
The problem you were experiencing with the telescoping handle is a normal wear condition. All you have to do is grease the locking pin and it would have worked just like it did when it was brand new. I've owned several tool bags and that would have been a 3-minute fix. The scraped up bottom, I have no answer for that.
I see you made it 😁 at least they got you taken care of.
Yep it turned out well for them for sure!! it could have easily gone the other way... but the real question is was I just lucky? ive heard people say the process they went thru sucked...
I made a warranty claim last year because the stitching came loose on a zipper and some other wear. They sent a brand new loaner bag and told me to keep it. Veto is the way to go for sure.
I'm not in the HVAC field but this wee little backpack looks very useful!
These videos are just as interesting as the repairs! who'd a guessed?
I’ve literally just got one of these bags, this is great to know. Love your vids, best wishes from the UK👍
My caselogic laptop has the same handle. Works great. It has skeeler wheels on it. Love it
Thanks a Million!!
I bought the ct xl recently and it’s certainly fabulous. One thing I saw is that it is load rated for just over a ton.
Maybe they could sell an extra add-on to put a soft/hard handle in front of the telescopic handle, that hold to the D-Rings like the Strap but be There all the time and grab both telescopic and soft when lifting the bag
Veto is great. I had to warranty my hi-viz backpack. I also picked up the tech pac wheeler, seems like they should have added handles on both sides “in my opinion” like the other wheeler bags offer.
That's amazing, oftentimes tools that gets used for work have reduced warranty. Hopefully it doesn't bankrupt them
Maybe it's since I have been burned by amazon the last few times, but I got a serious problem with companies not including serious functioning parts WITH said item, or at least TELLING YOU UPFRONT that you need an additional part. Seems lately i loose more time pissing around ordering the shit I need rather than working.
I have this bag did not know about that little front hand grab, THANX
Didn't know about the handle!! Thanks
use a rope from d rings and there are suitable knots for what you're after. Add another knot to stabilize and finally a curl to add a carabiner.
The newer version has handles on the sides
I have their OT LC Tool Bag and really liked it but when full of tools is just to heavy , so it's on my bench ... Good company tho ... I figured they'd honor their warrantee ... Thx Bud ...
I would expect the reason not to hoist from the handle is over the risk of a dropped load, not damaging the handle.
Part of the reason why they tell you to not lift by the handle is that the force is different since when it's on the ground the weight is distributed between the handle and wheels and the wheels take the most force
They could easily fix this with a metal u bolt on the center point (or something similar)
From the man himself: I got a heart!!
Huh, I would have thought with the metal plate, when the handle is docked when retracted it would be sufficiently anchored to be lifted, but I guess not?
I wonder if it's a safety thing, and if it's possible for the handle to completely detach, and if the D-rings are more firmly attached. I doubt you would want to drop test your tools from 20 feet if the handle detached during a lift. It could also provide them some legal cover if someone walked under the lift area and the bag hit them. If you don't use the lift strap they sell, they have covered their liability.
Nowhere near the stress pulling it compared with ouiking it up via the handle it has side loops so easy to use even use you carabina thru the metal loops and clipped onto itself seconds taken lot kinder on the bag
How long did it take to get the replacement bag from upon submitting the warranty claim?
I’ve gotten free bags from there seasonal deals it’s taken up from few weeks to a month to get my extra bag.
I got the replacement bag within 3 or 4 days and packaged up the old one and shipped it back at no cost to me!!
They should just redesign the handle. They used a standard luggage extension handle and it's not robust enough for a toolbag.
I agree
Better get two snap hooks cut 2 feet of good rope and keep coiled on one side of the bag ,
HVAC gear has a hard life and they should at the least make it where the model number of the hoist system they recommend should at least produce the item during a search
Hello! I'm from Ukraine. Tell me who can. I have bought the Veto wheeler Tall on ebay three times now. The delivery was to be in New Jersey and then to Ukraine. Two sellers canceled the order, the third did not ship in two weeks. What could be the problem? Bag not available? But why are they on ebay? And what are the options to buy them, because this is my little dream of an electrician.)) Thank you all for the advice.
they use the rail system that lots of other bag brands use, absolute garbage they always fail. klein are the only company that make a good wheel case with extension handle.
Have you tried to lubricate the telescoping handle?
Nice video
just clip the carabiner in the hole in the metal shoulder strap bracket.
If those catches stick again, can you try oil or a light grease to lubricate them?
You can, but he's in a very dusty/dry environment, so the grease or oil would attract sand. Since they're stuck in the case, they'll be sanded every time they go in and out.
Seems like its more of a liability thing with the strap. They don't really intent for people to use it. The handle should normally be strong enough to lift with but if the little buttons failed while hoisting 20ft in the air and came down on someone then that's a lawsuit. I mean how many times in a day is it lifted from the handle just for short distances i.e. up a some stairs, or out of van.
Do a Klein tool swap 0.0
Or a meter
Veto is the best
Awesome ✌️
👍
Hi Chris I’m looking for work I’m in the inland empire can I send you my resume?
Do they warranty normal wear and tear ?
No I don't think they do
✌🏾
👍🙏🇺🇸💪❄ nice vid
306 thumbs up
Strap not needed; a better handle, stronger with fail-proof material, is what's needed. Get it done, Veto or lose your clout.
👍👍😊😊
I gotta call bullshit lol
On what?
Yeah, I'm curious about the "gotta call" aspect..... you had no choice and was forced to speak out huh?
Well... I guess that the warranty "may be" worth the cost of the bag.
they need bigger wheels
👍
