I think this is an awesome product, especially for the price. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the belt is kinda lame. I’d like to have a large padded belt with velcro and a normal buckle. this is some junky nylon folding-tension-device-thingy.
the suspenders and toolbags are all pretty cool.
I say that, based on looks and one try-on. I have yet to put a single tool in the bags (as mentioned, I don’t do any “work” that would require more than a mouse or keyboard, I thought this would be nice to have just-in-case).
I don’t think anyone at Bucket Boss has ever actually USED this product, or talked to anyone who did.
The suspender straps slip under the weight of the tools, so the pouches and belt pull your pants down. The suspenders only attach to rings on the pouches, so you can’t position them where you want them on the belt. The belt is flimsy, so it can’t support the weight of the pouches or the hammer loop. The hammer loop can only be positioned in the MIDDLE of the back where it can slap against BOTH legs as you walk. There are very few places you can put a screwdriver, a pair of wire strippers, pliers, etc., where they will stay and can easily be returned to the same point for future use.
I am BIG with a 44 inch waist, If I hook the front suspenders to one side of each pouch and the backs to the other side, the suspenders end up running horizontally across my back and pulling the pouch around to my side too far. And because the suspenders slip, the whole assembly is soon around my knees.
The suspenders are padded and comfortable, making the weight easy to carry, but because they can’t maintain proper length, I have to keep adjusting them–not easy with the backs.
If I knew then, what I know now, I would have picked some other tool belt than this one.
My husband has been a carpenter for 25+ years and he loves his new belt. It is very comfortable and holds all he needs.
When it comes to rigs they are hit or miss. This one is a hit. The suspenders are comfortable and they attach to the bags nicely. The whole rig is set up from bang to buck to be comfortable, practical, useful and economical all in one. Their is a lot of flexibility with all the pockets provided. The bags are able to be switched for right or left handers. The only two downsides I saw were one the hammer placement in back, for me it is fine but others may or may not like it. Second the plastic buckle for the belt is a bit cheap but can be replaced easily enough if broken. Overall great Rig.
Great tool belt for cable installation. Sometime’s I take the shoulder staps off which is nice. Has the right amount of pockets and size for cable tools. I just love this tool belt. It makes my life easy and not walking back to the truck for equiptment is down to a minimum. The only con is tightling the shoulder staps once in awhile when they come looose. Great product for my line of business.
