Toolbelt

what kind of toolbelt can you guys suggest?! pros and cons please….

im looking for one but not quite sure which one i should buy

Honestly you Can’t go wrong with a CLC bag, LOVE this bad boy!

I picked one up at lowes. U can get it with suspenders for $48, or without for $29. Personally I would recommend the suspenders.cant remember the name, but I like it.

i gonna check some out here at the local HD, but the next Lowes i have to drive 45mins 😀

CLC or if you want to spend the big bucks Occidental Leather. I have only seen pictures of it but Milwaukee has one.

I have been giving the Dead On stuff at the Home Depot a shot. Good price point but I am not sure about longevity. I only really use belts when doing ladder work so I am not an every day user.

mostly I will use the tool belt for around the house

I’m surprised Veto hasn’t done a tool belt yet.

i just found my toolbelt 😀

it also comes with a few tools

So Bosh tools made by Klein that’s a new one!

Nice my son would that he’s a big tool head 2!!

I have a dewalt set that I use just for the house to MM it’s pretty bulky but holds a lot and the belt is pretty comfy I don’t know the model off the the too if my head but I got it for super cheap

ya that’s the point – I don’t wanna spend so much money on a belt which I not gonna use so often

I would just stop by HD then those husky ones aren’t to bad if it’s not gonna b for everyday use

ya I think I will do that

I was gonna go that route but my cousin barely bought the Dewalt and then decided he wanted a different one he said he spent over 80 bucks for it he gave it to me for 20$ that dude just buys things and don’t even use them. but I was eyeing the husky one though

wow for 20 bucks – that’s a good deal….do you use it lol? 😀

yea I do every now and then or im doing some side jobs for friends or fam. 🙂 they react like WOW!!!  LOL being smart asses some times..lol !

haha ya when they see someone rolling up with a toolbelt 😀

That would be one badass rig, knowing Veto, it would be heavy as hell but it would last forever!

You know what they say”a women loves a man with a tool belt” it’s like a chick magnet.

That’s probably why I have been getting all these goth chicks lately. It’s my “Dead On” belt.

LOL!!!

Occidental leather hands freakin down, it’s not that expensive when you think about how much you drop on other things lol

I was looking for those too…they will last a decade

I use a nicer leather one for work.. spent a little more money on her for sure but I do strap her on everyday on the jobsite…she has been holding up well… I use to have a husky one but over a short time the bottom of the pockets started to rip from snips going In and out of them over and over …. my leather pouch has been holding strong… so far anyway

what brand is your leather belt?

ya there is the point again – don’t go cheap 😛

This is one I use, I know there’s way better out there but got this from my cousin for cheap

They still look brand New. Nice mike

yea I try took keep my tools in stuff clean I had my air compressor on and blew it off like 2 days b4 and also I only use it here and there thnx MM

The dewalt bags look like they would hold up! overall how do you like it Mike?

I saw a few nice leather belts at lowes yesterday

I love it Tyler the bags are really big I don’t know if u can tell much from pics and its a bit on the heavy side I only use it mostly when I go work with my uncle building some porches and fences or on a project that requires me to carry multiple tools and screws. My uncle gets a lot those side jobs but yea it’s nice and feels real heavy duty, I think it should last me a long time.

MM did u purchase one ?

no I didn’t mike, mother-in-law dragged me away from the tool area 😀

she showed me stuff for the her new bathroom….

im going to remodel her bathroom soon so we are collecting all the stuff we need. gonna be a total bathroom demo. ill start from scratch

couple month back I bought a 60″ bathroom vanity in cinnamon for 60 bucks on clearance, normal price was $499 – that was a good start 😀

I just have to custom fit the vanity because the room is just 59 wide….gonna be fun 😀

Nice man I have to do mine soon 2 and I know the feeling of family dragging u away from the best part of the store :/

ya I looked to long at the hammer aisle lol, but the hammer that lowes has they just suck

Leather just last longer.

ya you got to go leather…..

Right on!

Over the years I have had a few. I now wear a mutt. It’s half dewalt and half CLC. I’m a southpaw when it comes to grabbing my pencil so I need that on the left and my knife right. It works for now

Can’t beat those tools! 

I’ve been trying out a new setup, no toolbelt.

ya let us know how you like it

I personally like Occidental tool bags. While they are a little more expensive, I think they last longer than the average brand. They have all sorts of types for different trades. You can get a framing set, super framing set, electricians or even just a basic six pouch set. It all just depends on what you are looking to use them for. If you are on the site I would recommend them, if you are finishing your basement just go to Home Depot and pick something out that is cheaper.
