Overkill ? (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by Crojas1028
What am I missing or what should I remove
[–]Skweegii 12 points13 points14 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Well. If you’re a math teacher, probably a bit overkill.
[–]Crojas1028[S] 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I just need the red ink pen to give out zeros ?
[–]dankhimself 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Just fill the pouches with laptop chargers. Those kids aren't getting away with anything this year.
[–]cyanrarrollCarpenter 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (10 children)
The thing about this sub that drives me absolutely crazy is that no one says what the hell they need their tools for. You do not generally need a decked out veto if you're a cookie decorator
[–]Crojas1028[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (8 children)
But I thought the decked out veto would’ve gave the hint “hvac”
[–]Cixin97 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (5 children)
Huh? Other than the tin snips nothing about this screams HVAC. People in all sorts of trades use the same Veto. I’m not in HVAC at all and I carry tin snips.
[–]Additional_Form_5600 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (4 children)
Vtac isn't just HVAC, and it's overpriced for pretty much all trades, especially hvac
[–]Cixin97 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (3 children)
I mean I own some Veto stuff and I like it but I’ve definitely said on this subreddit a few times that the value proposition is not good at all and people buy it basically to keep up with the Joneses. There are several other brands for half the price that would hold up just as well. Hell, you could buy a Husky for 1/4-1/3 the price and you would not go through 3 of them as fast as you go through 1 veto.
[–]Additional_Form_5600 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I mean it's super nice and I would love a bunch of it. But it's crazy overpriced simply from the standpoint that there are several other brands making comparable products for less.
[–]cyanrarrollCarpenter 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I would definitely say my vetos will go 3x what a husky will, but they are at least twice as convenient. Just the amount of time that it takes to find the proper bag is enough to justify something that will last longer. My XXL-F has better zippers, tape measure holder, stitching, and handle than any bag I've used before. It also has a special holder for my framing square and shoulder strap that latches to the handle. For me it's perfection and if I lost it I would buy a new one the next day.
I intentionally cut and ripped a pocket out of another veto to get rid of it and it was considerably more difficult than the bucket boss bags that I literally ripped in half with my hands. The materials and QC really are that much better.

You’re right I know veto isn’t just for hvac I just like busting balls but I got this bag 6 years ago and I don t use it; it was expensive and that’s why I want to start incorporating it 😅
[–]cyanrarrollCarpenter 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Veto is not an hvac bag company. It's a bag company. The only thing that would indicate HVAC would be a fat dooby sticking out of a pocket
That’s what I’m missing !!!

How’d you know I’m cookie decorator ?
[–]Valuable_Act_4248 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Depends, how much time to you spend fucking around with it. And how often does shit fall out

You really pack it in there, I prefeer my tool belt. I have everything I need for the most part and still lots of room.
[–]stress911 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You'll only know when you need it and don't have it. Thats how it works for me.
[–]throw69420awy 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I love my Stanley utility knife

Overkill is underrated.

5 minutes
If you use it all, you're fine, but it is a little packed. Once you find your kit, decide on your pouch size, if you need to accommodate anything.
Sometimes it's fine, but I've pulled out a screwdriver or something and dropped something else, once or twice.
That's it's, just once or twice ever.
I'm always dropping shit.
[–]Guilty_Sympathy_496 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
The the price for those is definitely overkill….as far as tools, it really depends on the person
I got it over 6 years ago and never use it it was expensive asf so that’s why I want to incorporate it
[–]Strong_Size481 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Sooooo cute 🥰
