How much is a VETO PRO PAC really worth?

2008-04-07T13:28:00.000-05:00

One of the common comments about our tool bags is that they are priced a bit high vs. our competition. However, we've always felt that our products pay for themselves through time savings and ease of use. In order to put this idea to the test we set about surveying 1,500 VETO PRO PAC tool bag owners to ask them how much time our products save them on the average day. The results were quite encouraging!

According to the customers who responded to the survey, their VETO PRO PAC tool bag(s) saves them, on average, $17,445 over the course of five years. Not too shabby! The math is as follows:

VETO Bags Last Longer: $80 savings
VETO bags guaranteed for 60 months, according to our customers, other bags last an average of 19 months

VETO Bags Prevent Lost Tools: $490 savings
Our customers report saving and average of $98/year in lost tools

VETO Bags Reduce Trips to Truck: $16,785 savings
Our customers report saving 2.7 trips per day to their truck 2.7/day x 10 minutes/trip x 250 days/year x 5 years x $30/Hour.

In addition the satisfaction rates were off the charts and comparable to some of the best consumer product companies in the world;

98% of our customers are satisfied.
96% would buy another VETO bag.
97% would recommend VETO to a friend or co-worker.

Thank you again for your time and please keep in touch.

Introducing The New Open Top Toolbag Line

2007-10-03T15:49:00.000-05:00

Greetings for Connecticut! The leaves are turning and Fall is almost in full swing here on the East Coast. In keeping with the flurry of activity that always seems to lead up to the holidays, we are eager to share the latest additions to the VETO PRO PAC tool bag line with you - the OPEN TOP (OT) line of tool and gear bags.

The philosophy behind the OT line is to provide you with a bag that is not only super-durable and high quality, but can also carry larger hand tools that didn�??t necessarily fit into our already proven line of closed-top bags. Also, the more people used our products, the more we heard about a �??system�?? that people have developed of using our bags for task oriented jobs.

For example �?? when a lot of guys get to a job site they may be looking forward to a day of finish carpentry. They go into the back of their truck and load up a tool bag with only the tools that they�??ll need for that task on that day. Then at the end of the day the tools are unloaded back into the truck. The next day could be spent framing at a different site. The OT line supports this type of task oriented use, where security is not an issue, with easy access to your tools stored vertically.

These highly functional open bags provide ample space and pockets to organize, store and transport hand tools, power tools and job related gear.

The OT- LC tool bag features 40 pockets of varying size and has a capacity of over 50 hand tools and assorted gear. The OT-LC is perfect as a job specific bag or for tasks that don�??t require large tools and bulky gear. The OT-LC features reinforced, industrial strength leather edging, two removable tool pockets and a heavy duty shoulder strap. Measures- 9.5"W x 13.5"L x 12"H (17"H Handle Up). Learn more about the OT-LC...

The OT- XL tool bag is an all purpose tool and gear hauling open bag which features 44 pockets of varying size and has a capacity of over 80 hand tools and assorted gear. The OT-XL is the perfect for multi-purpose jobs and has ample open storage area for larger tools and bulkier items. The OT-XL features reinforced, industrial strength leather edging, two removable tool pockets and a heavy duty shoulder strap. Measures- 9.5"W x 16.5"L x 13"H (18"H Handle Up). Learn more about the OT-XL...

Built for maximum tool and gear hauling, the OT-XXL features 62 pockets and one large open storage bay for hand saws, a 2�?? level, ripping bars, framing square and whatever else might be needed. The OT-XXL carries a big payload and can hold over 100 hand tools and additional gear. The OT-XXL features reinforced, industrial strength leather edging, two removable tool pockets, dedicated spot for a framing square and a heavy duty shoulder strap. Measures- 9.5"W x 25.5"L x 12.5"H (17"H Handle Up). Learn more about the OT-XXL...

We hope these bags will become as integral a part of your work as your other tools and help make your craft more enjoyable. Please let us know what you think of the new line�?�we rely on our customers for our best feedback!
