I use mine as a gun bag. Pouches hold AR15 mags and Glock mags. Other pouches hold CLP, brushes, gloves, towels, cleaning utensils. Outside pouch laptop sleeve holds 2 holstered handguns. Perfect bag

@WOOTIMSOAWESOME1111 Год назад

HVAC tech here, have used this bag for about a year now. Beaten it up through winter, carries TONS of stuff. Mine weighs in about 50lb right now, can basically bring my entire toolbox on my back. Not in love at all with how it looks, but it can carry way more then the veto bags, it does this while tipping over a dozen times a day. all the extra carry points on the bag exterior are great for attaching carabiners, I hang a 3L water bottle on the side strapping. also note that the tape holder WILL break, but its an easy fix. I carry m18 drill and driver, a m18 hacksaw then multimeter, hammer pliers screwdrivers, tons of bits, speaker, I could go on and on. Everything has its own space and easy to keep organized. the packout attachment is a huge bonus for screwboxes/electrical kits. This bag works great for me, haven't seen one that I could replace it with yet.

@user-pp6ze6iz9c 8 месяцев назад

Not seen anything much better for backpack and I've ordered one after little Stanley bag straps were ripping off with not much init . They all look bit lightweight even this when compared to tool boxes on wheels. Best for now at least

@itmsolver 6 месяцев назад

Helpful and happy to hear! Thanks * just ordered one.

@492716 4 месяца назад

I do hvac too, backpack is great, fits hammer drill, drill, impact driver, 3 batteries and all my tool/drill bits. Only gripe is it could have some bigger straps/back pad. Mother fucker is HEAVY. Especially going up stairs with it. It does beat pretty much anything with mobility though.

@blackdynastyraceingandfish6864 Год назад

I'm a commercial electrician and this bag is amazing I just put it on cart un zip my middle section and I can reach in and grab what I need but also tools are protected from everything around . It still looks like new I just take care of it.

@seabass7239 2 года назад

Just got this backpack about a week ago. I'm currently utilizing it for my M12 battery line tools and batteries. I have found quite a few useful compartments for bits and Blades associated with this product line. Seems quite durable. Hope it holds up. Quite pricey. I'll try to add a couple pictures

@FernandoTRA 3 года назад

According to Milwaukee's description the hard shell protected section is for electronic equipment. For example a work laptop or tablet.

@pauldavidson7259 3 года назад

I have had this packout back pack for over a year. I have my m12 fuel impact, hacksaw, and ratchet in the big part with 3 batteries. I have over 20 hand tool and a hammer also in that area. In the smaller area I have bites, pens, gloves and a small ratchet set. This bag is awsome and like you showed in the beginning I care different fixtures etc on the bottom makes jobs so fast

What are the best tips you have for it any little things you’ve done with it?

@pauldavidson7259 2 года назад

@@stitchthisditchthat259 best tips are to make the bag they you like it and the tools you call upon the most. I do some car work and electrical as a side job. So have my most used tools is what I load it with. Then I connect a pack out medium or small box to the bottom with odds and ends that I need. So it’s all together for the job.

@MrBigSRT 5 месяцев назад

@mikewhite255 3 года назад

It's all about what you do , for me if I'm 11 stories up with people working below I don't want my bag to open all the way for fear a tool could fall out through the grating and hit someone underneath me . This bag looks pretty good for what I do I'm thinking about it.

@hammerandhome 3 года назад

That’s exactly right. Everyone has different uses for it. I use mine to hold all my small hand tools. I usually clip it into my cart. I don’t think I’ve ever actually used it as a backpack yet. Thanks for watching

@ledzepandhabs Год назад

I'm an industrial sheet metal worker in Canada, I have used this bag for over a year and a half And in my line of work it gets a full on beating, Super heavy weights, Bad weather, Extreme temperatures. It has survived all of these instances and not a stitch has come undone nor is there a wrinkle or tear. The compartments are great and the packout ensures I can sort out whatever I want to carry. It gets a 12 out of 10 from me.

been a plumber in scotland for 38yrs, had this backpack for 2 years filled with handtools n few milwaukee power tools! its been battered n its still goin strong! its the best bag/carrier i have ever had! its perfect with loads of pockets n vouple o zippers! its brill! :-)

@@hammerandhome I have the veto XL bag. I've had it forever, about 10 years. It's held up really well. I got it loaded to the gills! I just got some packout bins and the box with wheels. I'm going to screw the packout adapters to the bottom of my veto and see how that works.

@alexmunoz4294 3 года назад

Have had mine packed more than it really should forcing zipper closed sometimes about 2 years of abuse tossing it around on outside surfaces, and it’s still living no problems just a bit dirty and stained, again that’s all on me bags done and doing it’s job great.

@bloodsongsToolreviews 3 года назад

The elastic straps on the inside are so you can put bits in behind your tools like long extensive extension bits and nut setters a very long screwdrivers and it doesn't hurt to have it if you don't use it it doesn't take up space

@michaelc7283 3 года назад

Hi Brad, Hey on a different note on bags and backpack. Milwaukee has a 15 inch tote / handle bag. I know you mention on another video you didn't care for the shallow pocket. It looks like the 15 inch tote is a little deeper. It seems like it's made more for electrician. Just wanted to share.

@MoulineMadness 3 месяца назад

Just bought one, hope it lasts as I love the look and style of it too

@duncdunc76 3 года назад

I do like the the fact you can put the small packout parts organizers on the bottom. Thats pretty slick! I wonder how weather resistant it is? One of the things that intrigues me about the back pack setup as apposed to the open soft tote is its potential weather protection. Oh and curious where do ya put your imact driver/drill in that setup? Didnt see it in the bag but assume its there somewhere, or do ya just set it in the middle there between the two clamshell sides in the main compartment? Gotta admit it looks pretty cool and another thing ive been thinking about is a backpack setup lets you carry longer tools and still be able to zip the bag closed for tool loss prevention, weather protection, and probably a bit of security depending on your work site environment.

@ggsdude1 3 года назад

There isnt a specific spot to put drills in, rather you just throw it in somewhere in the main compartment. I found this backpack gets really heavy quick so if you do lots of stairs or walking on jobsite etc you might have to cut it down to barebones tools to not risk being the hunchback of notre dame. I have the packout system and i throw mine on top of the rolling box but i still cut down my hand tools to the bare necessity in the bag in case i gota run up the stairs or the skip isnt working, even then i dont like how heavy it feels on tje back even when ive already minimized my tools...perhaps due to it not being compact and there is dead space in the main compartment its making it feel heavy.

@jameschristensen662 11 месяцев назад

M not sure about the packout version, but I have the full size tool version for my go bag in industrial maintenance. It's about 40 lb loaded with Hammers, chisels, pliers, etc etc and I don't treat it nicely. I forklift it, toss it on carts, set it I oil etc. It's held up incredibly well over the year I've used it.

@michaelthompson7570 3 года назад

I'm a Thermoform Process Technician and I just ordered this. I was using the Packout Tool Bag and it was killing my shoulder. It works amazingly but the weight was murder. Hope this works better.

@hammerandhome 3 года назад

i always clip mine on to the top of my rolling stack, it can get heavy if you load it up, but having two straps makes a difference on the shoulders for sure

@magik3202 3 года назад

@benenov Год назад

From my experience, bookbags are not well suited for plumbing. More for electricians or other trades that require small hand tools. I had one of the older style bookbags and had a hard time fitting my wrenches, hacksaw, drills, torch and gas can in it. I switched to a 15" open end packout bag for my plumbing tools and it serves me much better than the book bag.

@GuyMcguy24 Год назад

I think they should have put a second set of pack out latches on the hard shell front face or just made those hoop strips the same as military backpacks for more modular expandability.

@GuyMcguy24 Год назад

Also something I REALLY don’t understand is why they didn’t put a drill holster. and I presume the velcro straps beneath the shoulder straps are to hold down the shoulder straps.

@hammerandhome Год назад

I agree, it definitely needs some fine tuning, good bag but it’s missing some things that would make it great

@lonniehayes2892 3 года назад

The zipper on my backpack fucked up after 7 month's. Got the luggage repair spot in my city to fix the zipper for $49.99. Other than that it was good. They had to fix my buddy's veto pro pac zipper for the same price... But he had it for 3 years. The zipper will always eventually fail

@stitchthisditchthat259 2 года назад

Send the receipt to Milwaukee theyll cover it. You can use zipper lube to help

@davereed6612 2 года назад

I’m going to tell you why all bags suck compared to veto bag…neoprene pockets. No other bag has the stretchy neoprene pockets. You can fit so many tools of different shapes in those. Also the 5 year warranty. I’ve worked with guys that have this bag and traditional tool pack packs like this are obsolete. They falls over, you have to open it all the way to get at your tools. Pockets are tight. The veto stuff stands, never fall, plastic bottoms, long warranty, plus spring promotions, so a 300 dollar bag might come with a free 150 dollar bag, which makes veto bags cheaper than a milwaukee bag….I bought a “cheap” 200 dollar ergodyne backpack, that thing went back fast, fraying threads, no neoprene. Junk for keeping organized. Get a veto tech pac mc. You’ll be so happy you did.

@redcat9436 3 года назад

The loops on the back that you say are useless look like they are for attaching MOLLE pouches.

@hammerandhome 3 года назад
