Best Bag/Box for Megger 1741+ and all accessories ?

DNEW98 · Jun 11, 2022

First time post so apologies if this is already been discussed somewhere. I did do a quick look but didn't find much and the ones I did find seemed to be focused on a single bag or a different tester.

So I've recently bought a Megger 1741+ and the EV adapter kit and although I'm not a fan of the soft carry case the Megger came with I don't mind the carry case for the EV adapter as that'll only be used occasionally.

My Question.. What bags/boxes are people finding best to store the Megger itself, Leads, probe tips and some hand tools?

Pictures and/or links would be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance

CK do a soft meter test bag called Magma , at a decent price which works fine for my 1711, though I don't have the EV adapter kit:

They also do a slightly bigger version which may be better for the extra adapter.

Pro Pac have a nice meter bag, but it is expensive

I have this bag and can get the 1730, associated leads, basic set of hand tools and thr PTE550W in, it's a good bag,even if the build quality isn't on par with Veto et all

I carried my 1553 around in one of those ck bags. Had the first one for about 8 years until the zips on the main compartment finally gave up! Second one is still going strong but I only use it occasionally as it's now my backup tester.
I currently use the soft bag that came with the 1741+ but it's already starting to fall apart after only 2 years of abuse!
I was looking at the Dewalt hard boxes that David Savery did a vid on a few weeks ago but came to the conclusion it was just a tad too big.
I may have to go back to another CK bag!

I use this with the testing gear in the middle compartment.

The Rogue 9.0 Service bag is the 4th edition to the Velocity PB Plumber range.The 9.0 is geared towards multiple industries that carry out servicing. Two drop down panels which house various hand tools and test equipment along with a removable thermoplastic pot makes the 9.0 a perfect tool bag...

It's really not. I have several veto bags and none of them were quite right for my loadout, and they are not as expensive.
Having said that the veto are built a bit better.
