21448 4 Piece Pro Framer's Combo System Tool Belt 15 Pocket

hands down, the highest quality set of bags i've ever owned. a gift from my father, i would never have paid the price myself. that said, they are sweet. the leather is incredibly high quality, the stitching is tight, with no loose strings, every stress point is riveted. the pocket layout is intuitive, everything is where you think it should be.ok that was the rave. couple things i did, the black nylon handles, cut them right off and flame sealed the edge. no regret there. the handles get in the way of the tape pocket.neetsfoot oil. this leather out of the box is stiff. even with treatment, it will take a long break in period. my girl got a good giggle when i cooked dinner wearing them. i've now taken to keeping them wrapped around a five gallon bucket so it will take a shape. honestly, with no treatment, i think it would take years to break these bags in. i think it may take that long even with modest treatment (don't get carried away with neetsfoot or mink oil, and only use high quality natural oils, i only use kiwi ymmv) maybe running over them with a mack truck a few times will soften things up. anyone tries that get back to me, let me know how it went.lastly, the CLC 21110 Leather Suspenders are matching; same leather, color, hardware, etc. and are well worth the additional $40 (2013 price) comfort isn't the first word you think of when trying on a rig. but this combination is comfortable, fully loaded with tools and nails, it really helps to put some of the weight on your shoulders and allows you to loosen the belt for a little breathing room.as i said, i wouldn't have bought these for myself. but they are without a doubt, the nicest bags i've ever owned. i fully expect this will be the last rig i will ever use.

I did a lot of research and ended up buying this tool belt. I'm a Carpenter by trade and I didn't want to blow $350+ on an Occidental Leather Tool belt. I've used it Monday-Friday since March 2017 (now March 2023) and I like it. The only negative thing is, it was utterly difficult to "break in" to get the leather more flexible. Also, I wish I had three nail/screw pouches. During this time, the only thing that broke was my hammer loop (get occidental one with snips built in) and the side small pockets have holes so that everything falls into the big pouch. Tape clip has not yet failed me which I thought would be the first thing to break. I would recommend this tool belt for anyone who works as a carpenter full time. If I were an average Joe using it to renovate my house, I would go with something a lot cheaper and no leather (for easier to break in).

Significant other does rough framing and this is the best one for the money that we've found so far. Bought it years ago and it's still going even though it takes a beating. It's almost worn out so we're going to order another one of these. Gets the job done.

Outstanding pouches , was looking for something heavy duty for my trade work in a oil refinery , I am up and down ladders and these pouches are well made and heavy duty ! Great leather its been about 2 months and they still look brand new ! Belt is strong and durable as well no complaints here, best pouch purchased !

Very thick high quality for hard worker . I recommend

Have this and the Style N Craft 17 pocket (98-43417). In short, I prefer the Style N Craft over this, the pocket layout is better.Pros: The color is a gorgeous reddish copper brown, you're not going to find a better looking bag. I wish the Style N Craft was this color. It's a thick, heavy leather, 3-4mm all around. It comes very stiff, it's been minimally oiled in production. It could use a light oiling to help break it in, but you could just wear it and never think about that again. The stitching and rivets all look good. Solid bag.Cons: The pocket layout. On the dominant-hand bag the pockets here are all wrong, It has a hammer loop, which is fine, and one medium-sized outer pocket. Now if they put two small, smaller pockets on the outside that'd be better. Inside the bag, there is one pencil slot, but space for two (the Style n Craft has two). The A few small changes and this would be a better belt.

This is my husband 2nd workbelt the he uses for work, he used the last one for 5 years! Def worth the money!

Wow, this tool belt is great. Heavy, sturdy leather, pouches stay open. Seems like everything I want to keep with me for all types of construction has a place. I am really impressed with this product and would recommend it to others needing larger pouches.
