- čas přidán 5. 07. 2024
- Just picked up the Veto Pro Pac MPX Pouch and now I have a version of all their MP Pouches. I have the MPX, The MP1 (which is the older version of the MP1X), and the MP2X.
In this video I share the cost, features, and compare the three to help you decide if any of them are right for you... or maybe none of them.
Hope it is useful & THANKS FOR WATCHING!

I’ve been wanting to see a video with this comparison, you read my mind. Thanks for making it! 👍
👍👍. Your welcome
Been wanting to buy one of these pouches. This helped me decide. Thanks for sharing. 👍
👍👍
Very nice; I've thinking about one of these myself for my most commonly needed tools. You've helped me choose the MP1X.
I think that would be the “go to” for most people. 👍
While watching your video, I went ahead and ordered the MP1X because it fits must of my needs. Great video man, keep up the good work. 👍🏻 I’ve been watching your videos for a minute.
I feel like that is the pouch that’s going to work best for most people.. but it all just depends on what size/type tools people use.
I will for sure get the MP1X… if my MP1 ever kicks the bucket 😂
Appreciate it 👍
Sir, by far the best tool pouch comparison video I've ever seen. Fantastic variety showing the pouches empty and full with different configurations, and even what they look like on your person. I'm going away from the Toughbuilt line, and this content helped make my decision. Thank you sir!
You are welcome…
Glad I could help 👍👍
Great video as usual
Appreciate that buddy 👍👍
Just placed my order for the MP1X thanks to this comparison. I couldn’t make up my mind at first, but with this video I was able to make a decision…. Thank you sir!
👍👍… glad it helped. I really really like these pouches. They are expensive, but after using them I’ve never had buyers remorse.
I’m like you I have my share of Veto bags. I needed a smaller bag to work out of, say when on a ladder 🪜 or on a scaffolding. I was just installing some security lights on my house and kept saying to myself I gotta get that bag 😂. I had a pair of wire strippers in one pocket a screwdriver in the other pocket electrical tape in my back pocket and every time I needed one I couldn’t remember what pocket they were in. 😊 Most of the time they were on the ground when they fell off the ladder.
@@DanO181919 been there plenty of times… 😂 Im definitely worse at my house because I grab a tool out of a drawer instead of going to my garage or truck.
You always start out with thinking you need one tool, and by then end you are like, “I should have just grabbed my pouch”
@@MORGANSMaintenance 😂 That’s a big 10-4!
Ordering the MP1X for my apprentice. They just need enough tools to go take the Lock off the door and bring it back to me should be perfect! They wont need to use my tool belt and tools. Great Video !
I feel like if I was going to buy just one.. the MP1 works the best for most. Just because of the layout.
Appreciate it. 👍👍
awesome comparison video mate! just waiting for the MP1X to land in australia. the MPX and MPX2 has arrived but i’ll wait an extra month or two for the MP1X 🇦🇺👌🏼🙏🏻
Appreciate it… I love these pouches, best I’ve ever used 👍
Great video, will be a lot of help to many looking at these pouches. I prefer my tools to be covered over so have gone down the MB route rather than pouches. Hope the chicken wings were just as good! 👍👍
👍👍
They have to be good if you are willing to have Orange hands for two days 😂
With the clip they improved the Belt loop(that constantly breaks) I took to a shoe store and they put me 3 rivets since then never let me down...💪 But definitely veto have one of the best toolbags on the market. I own roughly around 10 different ones.I called them LouisViton for Construction 💪💪💪
My wife calls them my purses 😂
Hoping these are part of the March 2024 promo freebie. I am holding off on buying the EDC bag to get a freebie. Thanks for the video.
I almost held out getting it for the same reason… I don’t really need another bag, but they usually twist my arm with that promotion 😂
I have the Veto ot-xl which got to heavy to carry around ... I 'm trying the Fluke TB 25 Hard Body oval that I bought in Oct & so far I like it pretty good ... Good demo as usual ... Thx
My Tech MCT is getting close to being too heavy. I have been adding these pouches so that I don’t have to pack it as much.
Is that the one Doc had in last best tool the other day? I haven’t watched it yet, but saw a Fluke Thumbnail.
I think so ...@@MORGANSMaintenance
Great video, just what I was looking for!
👍👍. Glad it helped
@@MORGANSMaintenance you're costing me some more money! 😆
@@MORGANSMaintenance Veto needs to pay you some royalties.

@@DanielDraper-ki4hr I know… their address is even Morgan Avenue 😂
You convinced me to build out the TP-4 as a go bag and it changed how my work flow for smaller jobs. You’ve now convinced me to go with MP1 for a quick grab. Been thinking about it for a while.
Tell me to get out of your wallet 😂😂
@@MORGANSMaintenance naw I like spending money on tools almost as much you do. Always appreciate you enabling that addiction.
@@ryanofalaska it was bad enough for me to start a tool channel to cause me to buy more tools, but the worst thing was starting my own business…. Now I’m like, “it’s a business expense” 😂
I’d be curious to see a comparison between these and the toughbuilt pouches and clips.
👍👍… I don’t have any yet, maybe one day
You did a great job for the community! Thank you for this content! I really appreciate looking at the different bags and you making sense out of them. Especially since I can't find these things in stores.
I can’t get any Veto stuff locally either… it’s always order based on pictures, specs, and hopes 😂
When you spend that much money you want to get it right 👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance ha hopes is right. It's a shame these things are not as expensive as they are supposed to be if made my Americans and er can't have a good business seeking them in stores. Like I know that makes little sense and I'm trying to be fancy taking about economics.
Regardless this is the way we have to buy, by making videos and helping each other.
Again thank you. 😃
@@Liazon098 👍
I have the mp2x and I fold the 2 screwdriver slots in the big center pocket against the outside most of the time. I can even fit a small clamp meter in that spot when folded. If i need the screwdriver slots ill run the holstery joey pro on the other hip for the clamp meter. Great video like always. Hvac service tech here.
Good tip 👍👍. Appreciate that, someone was just asking about a meter
@@MORGANSMaintenance for hvac I need a clamp meter. The uni-t ut210d is tiny and fits. If you don't need an amp clamp the aneng 3009 fits everywhere a hot stick voltage tester is able.
@Cavett24 I have that 3009 in my watchlist to get at some point… I will check out the other 👍
@@MORGANSMaintenanceyou yy
This is a great video. Been wanting this for a while. Came one week too late for me as I’ve already ordered a mp1x but saying that it does confirm I made the right choice.
This will be a very useful post for a lot of people. Thank you for posting it.
I think The MP1X is going to be best for most people.
👍👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance I’ll let you know how I like it when it gets to me. Shipping it from the UK and it’s held up in customs right now.
I currently use the thoughbuilt pouches.
I got those as I did not like the way of putting the original mp1 on my belt.
But after trying out 4 of the thoughbuilt pouches now of them are my perfect pouch
Their good don’t get me wrong but it’s never perfect.
To many pockets not enuf pockets or pockets in the wrong layout
Always liked the pocket layout of the mp1 just really did not like the idea of the button up loop as I take the pouch of my belt a lot in a day.
But now with the clip on the mp1x just makes sense with my daily tool carry
@@robholland5925 I do like the clip better, even though I’m one of the few it seems that has never had an issue with my button on the original.
It’s faster to put on and easier to hang up on stuff when storing. Now that I’ve worn my MP2X enough, I like the height of where the clip sits better too.
@@MORGANSMaintenance talking about the clip. I have seen a video of someone that uses a holstry magnet to clip their mp1x to a breaker panel. So I’m planning on putting a holstery magnet on the tape clip. That way I will have a way of hold a bit or hang my pouch to metal.
Then I can take the magnet off the tape clip and put the magnet to metal and the clip the pouch on the back clip of the magnet.
Veto Pro Pac should finally send you some of their products. The street address obliges them... Not to mention your videos surely boosted some of their sales.
It wouldn’t hurt my feelings 😂😂
Did I have my street address somewhere in the video?
@@MORGANSMaintenance Veto Pro Pac is at Morgan Avenue.
True 😂
I thought maybe I had my address somewhere in the video… and I was just wondering where.
Veto should be able to put 2&2 together with my name and an order to surprise me with goodies 😂
I use the TP1L and got it on the spring promo. Other than the snap it's been fine which makes me want kne of thoes clip versions or add a clip to it. One thing I appreciate is when pouches hang low so I can flex move or not take it off to get into the work rig. I do combine all these pouches and accessories with a cabnet makers sidekick left hand( you'll thank me later if your right handed to get the left hand version) for tape and pika pen. I keep the sidekick on no matter what since it never gets in the way but that mpx looks right up my alley small and simple.
I was going to wait until March and see if the MPX might be the promo… if the MP1X is, I might go ahead and get one and get another bag.
The older style like my MP1 does kinda “move with you” while bending better than the clip, but I’ve also been using the MP2X which is bigger.. that could be part of it.
I looked up the Cabinet Makers and only see right hands… I will keep searching for a lefty 👍
Another thing is that sidekick can handle weight I've hung dewalt cordless framing nailer (modified clip on nailer)from it and it holds up well. Another tip for leather including this when I first get it I dip the leather I'm Murphys soap and rub it in. It's surprising cheap softens and darkens the leather (smells good too).
@MattHmm-rq6dn 👍
You can punch small hole and will fit the screw driver for the thermostat I have the same one that's how I did
👍👍
I have the MP2X. My theory was it’s better to have too much space than not enough…. Ideal for me so I can have my everyday setup in there all the time then throw job specific tools in the empty slots when I need to without removing my everyday tools
My only annoyance about the bigger one is if you’re in a tight space it can bash around on things which isn’t ideal when it’s a finished surface… I used to hang my impact off it but had to switch back to my holster because of the amount of door frames I was marking whilst walking through 😂
I was going to do the same thing as you originally but the MP2 was always sold out… so my first was the MP1.
I have been using the MP2X for the last few months and I really like it for the types of tools I carry, but some things don’t fit as well as the MP1.
These are expensive… too expensive… but I’m never mad I bought them while I’m using them.
@@MORGANSMaintenance yeah they are expensive but I think quality is always worth the money. They’re supposed to be products that will last decades but we just go out and buy the new version after a couple years which is what makes it expensive 😂
@rjf2732 I’m the same. I have had my MP1 for years, using it a lot… and it’s still as good as it was the day I bought it.
Pouches are a thing that you get muscle memory for reaching your tools. It’s more important to me to get one I like that will last a long time…. Says the guy who has three 😂
@@MORGANSMaintenance “I HAVE to buy it for my videos” the perfect excuse 😂
@@rjf2732 best part of starting a channel… my exact words to my wife 😂😂
I always bought a lot of tools… but now I buy tools to show others 😂
Gotta love them Vetos 😎⚒️😎⚒️😎
After using them, it’s hard to want to buy anything else. 👍👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance 💯💯💯, best thing to come outta China since the fortune cookie😂🤣😂
@@tedmcdonald3377 😂😂…
I have noticed some of this new drill holsters are Made in USA.
@@MORGANSMaintenance yes they are, some of the old ones were too💪💪💪
Will the MPX slide into the veto MB2? I have been looking for a tool organization inside my MB2. Currently I am using the Husky HD00130-TH inside my MB2. It works great. My tools no longer bounce around and stay organized. If the veto MPX fits I think that would work out better. I would be able to pull the MPX out of my MB2 and clip it on my belt. Currently, I do not have the option of clipping on the Husky tool organizer onto my belt.
I don’t have a MB2, but the MPX is pretty small… maybe someone else can give you a 100% answer.
Nice comparison. I like the idea of these but the weight of the pouch itself and a weight of a couple pliers on the bigger ones seem like it'll be ridiculous and really unbalanced all sticking on one side. Personally i use the Occidental pocket caddy, all leather and fits about as much as the mp1, but without a tape clip or any if those tiny pockets. I actually stick it in my back pocket since I wear overalls at work, and it works pretty damn well since the pouch pocket closest to your body is actually the part that slides into your pocket, so the weight of whatever you have in there keeps the pouch seated nicely in your pocket and against you. It's a tight squeeze sometimes getting everything I need into there but might actually be a good thing since it limits the weight. Anything more than what you can fit in there and you're probably better off wearing a tool belt and distributing the weight over your whole body rather than one side at the hips.
The MP1 and MPX are very light, I’ve honestly never even felt like I had any serious weight on me. (All that may depend on the tools you carry)
The MP2X doesn’t necessarily feel heavy, but it does stick out more making it feel more noticeable.
I have an occidental pouch I use for drywall and flooring and really like it. I may have to look up yours and check it out.
I with they made something in the same configuration as the TP1L I really enjoyed owning. There is nothing in this lineup that holds as much in as slim a profile. The MP1X is close without that third center pouch. Sure, you can just not load that pouch, but that's not as optimized. Oh well, there are other brands.
I never got the TP1L.. I was going to try one of those leather style but they were always sold out when I went to buy a pouch
I have an MP1, which I'm still fussing with the load for, and _really_ wish I'd bought it a little later. The improved belt clip on the "X" pouches looks really, really good.
This video inspired a few questions that might make for interesting future videos. (Or, perhaps, are answered in older videos I haven't watched yet. Feel free to just point/link. :- )
1) On your workbench in this video, for example at 0:30 in, I can see _four_ different drills/drivers. And at a couple points you hang two of them from the pouch as a demonstration. My question is, what do you use the different tools for? I think the four are: hammer drill, lightweight drill, impact driver, installation driver. I've been wanting to have something smaller than my 12v drill/driver for my everyday bag, and wonder about your preferences or tasks that lead you to choose one over the other, especially the impact driver vs. the installation driver.
2) At a couple of points you mention that you don't carry a tape measure on these pouches. So my question is, where _do_ you carry a measuring tool? It seems pretty fundamental, but then again, you don't need it to fix a leak or change a switch or socket out. Makes sense to not have it on the pouch. But, where do you carry a tape, etc.? I believe you organize your bags and pouches around type of work, so I'm guessing a tape measure is automatic in anything for carpentry, but what about your other bags? (I probably need to watch your truck loadout series, which I skipped because I don't have a truck...)
3) At a couple points you pull out a couple of different Snap-on tools, which surprised me. One of the things I appreciate about your perspective is, you're not cheap, but you're also not using Snap-on and Festool, etc., constantly. You're focused on having high quality tools (Knipex FTW!), but also focused on value for money, and efficient purchasing techniques. But that leads to a question about, how do you decide when it _does_ make sense to buy something that's objectively expensive, like a Snap-on pliers, vs. staying with something a bit less expensive and very nearly as good, e.g. Knipex, vs. buying something that's not cheap crap, but that's also relatively inexpensive, for example, Klein.
Stay safe, and have a blessed day!
I don’t mind the loop on the MP1… but I do prefer the clip in the X series now that I’ve used them more.
On the 4 drivers.. the main two I use are the 12V Surge and Installation Driver. The other two are 12v Hammer Drill and Regular Impact, they are pretty much my “at home” pair and I use them around the house for a quick grab to not have to go to my truck. I got a deal on them with a free tool, so that’s why I have them.
The Surge and Installation Driver are what I typically use for Day to Day… the Surge more so for Service Type Stuff and the Installation Driver for Project type stuff (cabinets, doors, etc). You could really use either one in both places.. but the clutch settings on the Installation Driver make it better for finish type work.
I also have the M18 Surge and Hammer Drill which is what I use on bigger jobs. Not that my M12 tools won’t do most of it, mostly for battery life.
Because I have the M18 Hammer Drill and the M12 SDS Rotary, I rarely use the M12 Hammer Drill for concrete, usually just a Drill.
I’m going to do several replies so I can go back and read your questions.. I can’t remember them 😂
On the Tape Measure.. I carry a little 9’ Dewalt one in my Main Bag for in case I have to measure something for supplies.
If I’m working where I know I will need one to work with, I carry one in my pocket or my tool vest that I’ve put a Nohlster Clip on.. it never falls out and I really like it. If I have space on my pouch I can clip it there, but I don’t typically keep one there. It’s something I get out as I need it.
Those Snap On Pliers I bought are the only Snap On tools I own.
They are the only one who currently makes them, and that’s the only reason I decided to go ahead and buy them. Harbor Freight is coming out with their version sometime this year, but I will likely never be able to get them at mine when they do.
On when I spend more money… there are certain tools that it is the only option (like the Snap-On). I also have a Festool Vacuum, but that’s because at the time.. there weren’t many HEPA vacuums on the market. (I also got a good deal on it)
Then there are some when, if it’s a brand I prefer because of quality (like Knipex) and the next step down is a brand I might like, but not 50-75% less, then I go ahead and spend more money.
What happens typically if I buy the cheaper, I still end up buying the Knipex because I wonder if it’s better… I just go ahead and buy the one I know I will end up with instead of buying two pairs… the cheaper and the Knipex. If there is a tool I know I want… I never buy the cheaper for that reason. I know myself to well by now 😂
The main thing that goes into my decision… The only times I really buy cheaper tools is if it’s something I think I won’t use very often and the flip of that is I pay more money for something if I feel like it’s going to get used often.
A good example of this is a transfer pump. I could have spent $300 and got a Milwaukee one, but I only use it maybe once or twice a year.. so I bought the Ryobi. I don’t have to worry about the Maintenance of it as much, I can probably buy three of them for the price of a Milwaukee over time.
Another would be my Stabila Digital Levels. Very expensive… but I use them all the time. Their accuracy makes the difference of my work turning out good or exceptional. If I use them, it makes my job easier. Those are not tools that I would even think about not buying the best option that I could afford.
That’s typically my advice to anyone.. but the best quality tool you can afford…. And take care of them. That’s how you end up with a really good tool collection. You can’t end up with all the tools you might want if you have to keep buying the same 10 tools over and over because they aren’t quality or you don’t take care of them.
I tell people it’s something you do over time too.. most people can’t afford to get “All the Quality tools” Day one. I do typically only buy my tools when I get some sort of a deal on them. So I usually get my higher quality tools at the price point of the next tier down. All my Milwaukee tools after free batteries/tools and selling some, etc… I probably got most of them at Ryobi prices. That is what allows me to buy so many quality tools.
Hope all that makes sense
I have been looking to pull the trigger on a tp xxl. Do yyou know about when they have their sale?
It normally runs in March/April. It’s always a good time to buy a bag if you can wait for it 👍
I hook the pocket flap in my front pocket and hang it off my belt. Take a little weight off the belt. But that belt clip HURTS after a little bit.
I haven't had the belt clip hurt me yet... bud I have some padding I've acquired from eating too much 😂
Where did you get that Klein Tool cup/tumbler in the back?
I got it off eBay… it’s not something they sold in stores. It was a promotional item
Little things that only a pro can point out,,,,thanks….
Appreciate it 👍
In your experience, do the pockets tend to stretch much in these. I bought the mp1x and was disappointed my voltage detector wouldn’t fit in the front pockets. It looks like yours fits pretty easily.
They do, they will eventually form to it… if you can get it in there to start with.
Most my testers fit… the Kleins are the only ones that are really too big that I’ve tried.
I have the Milwaukee and can’t even really get it in there all the way. Wondering if the pockets are smaller on the MP1X than they were on the MP1. Think I may return it and get the MP2X.
Thanks for the videos!
@@toddharmon2976 they might slightly be, I have had the older Milwaukee tester in my MP1. The one I had is very similar in size than the Fluke I used in the video.
I know my Fluke has been in there for awhile and now fits like a glove, but it was tight when I first started using it.
I have been wanting one of these. But I have had a mb3 for years and I just can’t justify the cost difference for something that really doesn’t offer as much. I really do like the pocket flap though.
I wear a pouch with probably 90% of my work. I use it more than my bags really…. But I do agree, the price point is a bit steep.
They are the best pouches I’ve used for tools in/out though.
@@MORGANSMaintenance same. I just use the 3b like a pouch Or a Toughbuilt pouch.
If I knew for sure I could cram a meter in one of these I would definitely do it just for the pocket flap and kickstand.
@Summitperry it depends on what meter… but very few would fit. None on mine will. It would have to be a smaller/skinny type
I haven’t had one, but the Toughbuilts look hard to beat for the price.
@@MORGANSMaintenance the Toughbuilt is definitely worth the try for the price. 100% not veto but the clip tech thing is pretty nice. And they last decent.
@Summitperry 👍
I've never liked the pouches. But most aprons are too big and bulky for my work. My little half apron is constantly riding up and annoying me. I really should find a better solution.
Yeah Aprons and Vest will ride up occasionally, especially with certain shirts it seems and depending on the work.
Hard to find things to work with you comfortably when you move a lot.
How are you enjoying your first snap on pliers?
So far so good… I had to fix a metal filing cabinet in an office and the grip and strength were exactly what I needed. They are a little pricey, but they are a good “all around” pair.
🔥🔥🔥🤜🍻🤛
👍👍👍
how heavy is the mp2x fully packed vs the mp1x fully packed? trying to make my decision easier lol
I don’t have a fancy way of checking, but I will see if o can get an idea when I get home.
It will obviously depend on which tools you put in, but it will govern you an idea. I can’t imagine it’s crazy different.
Mine way 5.2 and 3.8 lbs
Ok cool so only roughly two pound difference. Thank you for getting back to me, I appreciate it! Might go for the mp2x
@@1964classics I’ve been using the 2x a lot lately, or never feels overly heavy. The difference in feel for me, is mor how far it sticks away from your body.
I also have the MP1, not the 1x… so there might be a slight difference between those
Oh okay well it's good to know the weight isn't enough to bother you or your movements.
I have a fix for the clip on these, a short to be specific. Check it out if. You're welcome.
👍👍
Tough built small pouches cost a lot less
Very true. I have had any, or know how long they last… but they look nice for the price 👍
Is it cold in your shop or did you just get a manicure?
It’s a little cold in there.. we are getting some colder temps the next few weeks
I also ate wings and had Orange fingers 😂
@@MORGANSMaintenance…..convenient excuse 😂
The Wingstop hot sauce is no joke.. it stains your hands for a minimum of 2 days. I usually where gloves while eating them 😂😂
@@MORGANSMaintenanceI’ve never had them🤷♂️ there is one by my place now for about a year but never stopped in to check them out. Are their wings big or tiny like bw3?
@@nachoisme they are bigger than BW3’s… their fries and ranch dressing are really good too. I don’t normally use ranch with my wings, but theirs is good.
MPX is great for commies
It doesn’t hold much, but if all you need is the same couple tools everyday it’s a good option
