Cleaned out my Veto. Forgot to take a picture of it loaded up. I got to recommend Veto. They are a great quality product. Cleaned out plenty of extra “junk” that gathers up at the bottom.

man you really can fit a lot in one of those veto pro packs, what model was it?
It’s the LC.
I also have the TP3 and TP4.
Excellent quality
how long have you had it?
2 years or so
Nice work with the blue tape! I do the same thing with my tools, that way I know what tools stay in the shop, what stay in the truck, and what goes in the traveling packs/containers.
Sweet. I can dig anything where Knipex and Wera is involved.
And Felo, they are some good screwdrivers as well.
How do you like that Knipex Electrical Installation Pliers? Do you recommend them?

Meh, I’m not impressed, especially for the money.
The crimpers is so wide and far away from the pivot point that they just about useless.
All in all, I wouldn’t buy them again.

I will second that. The crimpers are absolutely useless. I end up using them as just heavy duty needle nose pliers.
The idea of having all the features in one is great but unless you only are installing outlets they don’t cover everything so your going to need separate pliers, strippers, cutters.
I’m glad I read your input on these knipex install pliers. I was on the fence about buying them. It seems like yould still need to use all your other pliers anyway so there is no added value in buying them.
I want to get a veto bag. Just waiting for a good reason.
The Veto bags are nice, I have the XL, TP4, MB2, CT-XL, and I would like to add the OTXL to my collection in the future
What’s hiding in the Ideal pouch? I have a set of Telemasters, use them often and love them. Just used them recently to redo my office in Cat6.

Just an average clamp meter. I have since upgraded to a Fluke 375.
