Occidental Leather 9850 Adjust-to-Fit Fat Lip Tool Belt Set - Black

This work belt is the best one on the market expensive but will last forever honestly 5 stars

This product is too cheap i don’t like it

I have recently purchased these bags to replace my original set, which was brown but otherwise identical. The brown set were very good to me although I was not kind to them, although they held up well regardless. I am in the Drywall/Lathers union and as an early apprentice I mangled the canvas on the right with widowmaker and grinder sparks, the bags were all but brand new. I was worried I destroyed my expensive, new investment but they held up for 5 years after that. In fact, they could have gone years more even through the outer nylon was destroyed. After graduating the apprenticeship I wanted to treat myself with a new set in black and I have rocked the new set for a couple days, pleased as punch. This time around, I am not using the leather attachment on the right side to hold my screw gun because the tip of any shaft at that angle ends up poking ones self on the inner left thigh. So, I got a clip on attachment to the actual belt(not occidental brand, sorry) and it is working out great so far. I am using that attachment for its “intended purpose” to hold a “cell phone holder,” which I am not using to hold a phone but instead blades, router bits and a pack of Phillips bits. I love the system and there’s nothing about my current set up I’m not 100% happy with. I will say this though: leather WILL last longer than canvas but these canvas bags will last a really long time if not abused by, say, a dumb level one apprentice like I was. Even though leather lasts longer I would still get these again because leather belts conform to your hips, which is actually really not good for your hips. It’s not good to carry all that weight all the time regardless but the padded belt on this set up adds less strain on your body that leather. 10/10 recommend

Very high quality and well constructed!

I have been a carpenter for 23 years and in that time I've owned and worse out at least 15 different tool belts. After 6 months of working all day with this one and if I cleaned off the dirt it would look unused, and it really is the most comfortable tool belt I've ever had. Hell it's the only one in 20 plus years that want uncomfortable. I can't do suspenders because of all the abuse my shoulders have been through over the years so the fact that this doesn't wear unevenly on my hips causing unnecessary pain is a Godsend for me. I can't complete this review without mentioning that this has this biggest pockets ever, which after my accident with the table saw is a tremendous blessing. Not only can I comfortably carry enough fasteners for a couple days off work but I have ample room to easily fish them out with my mangled paw. The layout of the pockets and too holders is well thought out and after a week to adjust everything I regularly use has a home on my waist at all times. And lastly, the adjust to got was the right choice for me as well. When it got cold enough to wear layers and coveralls I adjusted the strap in the back, slid the hammer holder and kept every tool located exactly where it should be. The guys I work with all were hoping that this belt would be a failure, based on it's price ($350), but they have all admitted to me now that like me they wish they would've known about this product the first time they bought a tool belt. Because then we wouldn't have had to go through years of pain, poor product designs, and having to buy a new one every year. I'll never recommend anything else to another professional, these tool belts are absolutely top of the line, worth the cost, and there only logical choice for any professional builder.

I love how big and open the pockets are. Lots of places to put things. The best framers pouch I’ve tried yet

Love this belt. Makes my old belt feel cheap and flimsy.
