Tool Belt suggestions

[leehljp]

Never been comfortable with a tool belt/pouch (tried several). To me, they are very unwieldy, often get in the way, and it seems that I've always got every tool in there except the one I need...

Dang UC, were you actually my "twin"?

You will appreciate leather alot more than nylon. I have both. Leather pouches have curved bottoms & small parts (i.e. nails, screws) are alot easier to get out. Nylon pouches tend to have tight folds where nails, screws & nail sets tend to hide & it's a choir to get them out. You don't want that when you are putting in 2nd story windows from an extension ladder.

Personally, I like the tool belts where the pouches are not riveted to the belt. That way I can replace the belt if it wears out, plus you can put the pouches exactly where you need them. Most pouches have plenty of sleeves for screwdrivers, nailsets, pliers, utility knive, etc.
