After purchasing both the Velocity Progear Rogue 2.0 and the Veto Pro Tech Pac TP-XL, I have done a comparison on the pro (no real cons) on the 2 bags and outlined which bag is better suited for which purpose as a Central Heating Service & Repair Engineer. I also show what tools I carry as an engineer on a daily basis. I have split the video into 2 parts; this 1st part being about the Velocity Progear Rogue 2.0 @velocityprogear @vetopropac - Jak na to + styl
Man I wish I could get a hold of that Rouge 2.0 bag here in the states. It looks about perfect as a service go bag!
I'm sold man. Just gotta wait for them to restock it now! Top video 👌🏽
Hey bro... yes unfortunately due to the pandemic, sticks are limited... Jasmyn ordered mine for Father's Day in March, but it delivered in July... but it was definitely worth the wait as u can see!
Great little vid mate! Good to see what your carrying and what you can fit into them bags 👌
Thanks mate! Just wanted to give an unbiased view on the perks of this velocity rogue 2.0 bag. And also try and show how I can carry out 5-8 calls a day with just my 1 bag full of useful tricks!
5-8 calls a day - sounds like the good old days of the big firm 👍🏻
When September comes, I'm snowed under till March, trying to help out as many as I can in a day
I brought the bluelyzer St analyser great bit of kit light compact and quick turnaround on calibration. Great review Jitha, I brought the rogue 2.0 a good few months ago generally use it for electrical installations. Recently purchased the PB's 9.0 rogue, this is what I heavily use for gas service maintenance . 👍🏽
Great review.
I need a new daily carry bag, hopefully they'll be back in stock soon.
Hi Will! Thanks for the compliments. I believe the velocity rogue 2.0 will be back in stock September
Great review. Cheers dude
Thanks for the appreciation mate! Hopefully I will be getting more new bags and tools review videos up soon!
Thanks for reaching out!
Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
Top video mate 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Robert Skinner cheers Rob... was quite nervous as u can tell... but hopefully will get more smoother as I do more vids! Thanks for the love and support bro!
yooo finally got round to checking this, awesome vid! .. i really need to grab one of those velocity bags they look awesome
Hey Tom! The bag is pukka mate... perfect size for servicing
pro tip : you can watch movies on KaldroStream. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Jad Casen yea, have been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself =)
Thank you for sharing your time.looking at the veto bag but may need to change my mind lol..
Rudy Vargas hey mate! The Veto is still an amazing bag, but the Rogue 2.0, just has a slight edge if ur looking to carry ur FGA in the same bag as I do
Appreciate the review man. This seems like a top bag but I've spent too much on them already. Not getting another one....yet :-)
I totally get it mate... but at least when you want a decent sized service bag, you know which one to go for!
Nice mate! Loved it
Thanks mate! Took me a while, but got some inspiration from you... and thought, let's just jump in and hope for the best!
@@thebeardedheatingco Ah cheers boss. You aced it, hope to see many more
Great comparison video @thebeardedheatingco
S V thanks a lot! Part 2 will follow shortly!
Quality review 👌
Appreciate ur kind words mate! Stay safe and well, and live long and prosper my friend! 🖖🏽
I’ve been back and forth pondering the Rogue 2.0, the TP5b and the Dewalt DGL573. I’d written off the TP5b as I go to a prison and having tools that are visible and easy to grab isn’t a good idea. I didn’t think the Rogue would hold enough for an 1st response kit but seeing this video has now put it firmly in the lead. Cheers for a great review 👍
I went with the 2.0 just after this, and now I see the significance of the numbering system. After about 2 weeks of use the carry strap started falling apart, the stitching opened right up. I contacted Velocity, no problem they said send us some pics, took my address and promised a new strap. Despite following up they never bothered to respond or replace. Gutted I wasted my money on their products, I so wished I’d gone for the Veto ☹️☹️☹️
Don’t give then your money people, their customer service/after sales is appalling
Great reviews mate, I'm torn between buying one just now. All my other bags are veto but I'd say I fancy the Velocity one more.
By the way, there is a reason those knipex pliers have a smooth end at the tip. Its to prevent damage or rounding of when gripping the cable. Dont mean to sound a smart arse but thought you might appreciate it! Haha cheers 👍
Good video, I had one of the first ones, it's a great bag. Cool idea to stitch on the logo, as the Velcro isn't super secure on the fabric patches. 👍👍
Hey mate! Thanks for reaching out! I've seen many guys recently upset that the badge has fallen off... and when my bag was delivered... it was the first thing I noticed and made it stupidproof! Stay safe and well, and live long and prosper my friend! 🖖🏽
Hi, likewise, take it easy over there.🖖
Nice video. Well shot and I just ordered a veto.......
You won't regret it mate! Especially as it's in stock and the Velocity is not back in stock till September
I will post on insta when the Veto arrives and I have loaded it up. :-)
Top review that. I'm getting one 👍
Hey JD! Thanks for reaching out! Which one u considering? The veto TP-XL or the Rogue2.0?
@@thebeardedheatingco Rogue 2.0 love the look of the bag and a decent price point. Definitely going for the rogue. Hoping I can get a tablet in the back pocket. That would be ideal. We'll see. Gonna get the bag anyway. Appreciate the review 👍
Great review. On a unrelated thing, what make are your glasses please?
another bag im lusting after.have so many others but they are all big .ie blue BG ones or open tote.think minimalistic is the way to go.
I too used the BG box for years till I started realising I don't actually need half the tools in the box and having just the right amount of space for the actual tools you need, means ur not gonna overfill the tool box and have a back ache!
I have a small kit that can do 80% of repairs first time with them.
Great review. Just wish there was a shop near me that had these on the shelf. I need to see if I can fit my card machine (standard style you find in Uk shop) in the side zip pocket. Where you keep your testo manometer.
How big would you say the zip pocket is?
Hey Stuart! Thanks for reaching out! It ur using a old school chip and pin machine like in the shops, then it definitely won't fit... but if u have a izettle, square or sumup card reader that with definitely fit! Best of luck mate, but overall u won't go wrong with this bag! I love my bag to bits!
Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
@@thebeardedheatingco Cheers for the reply bud. It is the old school full sized pdq but Iv ordered one anyway just because.
Cheers again. 🤟🏼
I had the 310 for 8 years. Its dam good analyser. I know have a used 320b. But i really want a testo 300. That thing is amazing.
Or i also like the bluelyser.
I was keen to get both the testo 300 and the bluelyzer... but I refuse to pay 3 times more for a machine that really and truly doesn't do anything more that what my amazing 310 can already do! Tbh mate... I jut ordered another 310 today for €330, just so I always have a backup and also when it goes away for calibration, I'm not left stuck without one 😂
M8 300 has inbuilt pda so you can send reports from it. But i get that it's 3 times that of a 310. Have you thought about the 320 thats about £550 but links in to the testo Android app.?
I'm an iPhone user so no app, I think. And plus the 310 is the smallest out of all the Testo, and it fits perfectly in my rogue 2.0 bag
Hi when you use the fernox on compression joints do you use it on the male thread or smear it on the olive?? Great vids BTW. 👌
Hey Paul!
Thanks for reaching out to me! When it come to applying jointing compound, I slide pipe in snug, pull the olive back and apply the compound and then push the olive home and tighten!
Hope this makes sense! Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
@@thebeardedheatingco thanks for your reply 🙏
Hey great video, just a quick question I know this is primarily meant for servicing but do you think i could get away with this "Service Bag" as a daily install bag? i've currently got the rogue 7.0 but found its waaaay to big and i just overload it and don't use half as much of the tools i have stored in it for my daily work so could do with slicing my carry load in half and fitting it all in this?
Hey fella! If u want to use the tp-xl or the rogue2.0 as a small install bag, I would recommend the tp-xl without a shadow of doubt! It's only slightly wider but it carries so much more than the rogue2.0!
Hope this helps!!!
@@thebeardedheatingco Ok, but in your more updated review on these bags you said the rogue 2.0 carries more stuff than the tpxl?
@@user-fi9dk3gt6d hi mate! The TPXL carries more screwdrivers and small hand tools, but the Rogue 2.0 can fit my Testo flue gas analyser and a fluke voltage/continuity tester. So it a bit of a tight comparison now... 2/3 years after I made this video... my Rogue2.0 is still the perfect toolbag for my daily tool carrier.
I all basically comes down to how much and how many tools you intend to carry in the bag. From my video you can see how much both bags are able to carry!
Hope this helps!
Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
@@thebeardedheatingco Ok makes sense, do you know if there is going to be an updated version of the rogue 2.0? Thinking of getting one but don't want a new version to come out weeks later lol
@@user-fi9dk3gt6d I'm quite sure there's no updated 2.0 coming out soon... I'm actually gonna get a new 2.0 myself as my existing one now has a hole in the plastic pocket after 3 years of continuous use
Hi great video, could you please tell me if you could fit a full size ipad or Samsung tab in that rear compartment? I prefer this bag but the veto tp xl lists that it was designed to fit iPads, on the velocity bag it's not listed as a feature, Was hoping you was going to try it on your review, would you mind seeing if one would fit? Thankyou
Hello mate! I thank u for reaching out! I just physically checked... and I have a iPad Pro 11" and that definitely does not fit in the rear pocket. So anything smaller will certainly go in, but the iPad Pro is a no go… I appreciate you getting in touch and hope I was able to answer ur query! Stay safe and well, and live long and prosper my friend! 🖖🏽
@@thebeardedheatingco thankyou mate, went TP XL in the end, love it! Thankyou for checking for me though
Hi mate,hope you don’t mind me asking you, but did you “transfer” your British gas safe qualifications to NL or had to do some additional there in order to work as a gas engineer?
Hey mate, did the exams in Dutch
@@thebeardedheatingco thanks for getting back to me. Not sure I got it right. Did you mean you simply translated your British qualifications CCN1 to the NL version or had to do like a “proof of skills” new one in Dutch to be fully qualified?
Sit the exams in Dutch, and show competency
what vacuum do you use?
(for cv maintenance)
Hi! Thanks for contacting me at The Bearded Heating Co°
I'm now using the Einhell Wetvac! It's cheap and powerful! The battery powered ones just don't have the suction power.
Here's the model: Einhell TC-VC 1820 S
Hope this helps!
Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
There's a tablet pocket in the back of the rogue 2.0 😃
Robinson Heating yes mate!!! And I didn't even know till I was doing the review 😂😂😂
does the rogue tip over as much as the tp-xl
Hi! No, the rogue 2.0 is definitely more sturdier than the tpxl 💯
I'm actually gonna buy another rogue 2.0 soon... that's how good it is... by far my favourite tool bag!
Hope this helps! Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
Does the rogue 2.0 fit the analyser easily, could I still get to the other tools easily with the analyser still in the bag?
Hi mate! Yes you can, but that will depend on how you have packed the bag.
Will make a video on a closer look on how my rogue 2.0 bag is packed and set up along with the tools I carry in there!
Will have the video uploaded very soon! Stay tuned!
Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
@@thebeardedheatingco im glad I took your advice and went for the rogue 2.0 its a brilliant little bag just what I need for servicing and breakdowns 👍
Glad I could help mate!
Hi I would like to buy it I'm living in Spain I'm plumer also I dint see it on amazon UK can I buy it directly from there website, they are still on market, thank you?
Hey mate! Which u after? I can do my best to try helping u get the bag u want!
Let me know and until then... Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
👍🤓👍
Do you speak any Dutch? What took you to the Netherlands?
I can read it now and understand enough to get by... moved as my wife got promoted and was asked to move to the company's NL (European) HQ. This was 7 years ago, long before Brexit F'd everything up
So is it veto or velocity
The Velocity Rogue 2.0 is my go to because I can get my Testo 310 analyser in it, and the TP-XL can't get the probe in
Youve sold it to me
Nice! But yeah, I'm not a salesman, just trying to help in choosing the right bag without wasting too much money trying to find the right bag
😎👌 I carry a very similar bag by USA Fieldpiece #BG36
Hey mate! Thanks for reaching out! Hope u are able to get ur jobs done as seamlessly as I am with my bag!
Live long and prosper! 🖖🏽
thanks you for your comment im going to see how they are
Both are made in the same factory in China 😬 I own both veto and velocity kit both are superb bags but are both a product of China with a decent unit price to produce them
Mate everything is made in China... I'm sure I was too 😂
But on a serious note, I love them both!
Hope ur well and thanks for reaching out! Live long & prosper! 🖖🏽
