Tool Belts

[K Williams]

Does anyone have any suggestions on tool belts? I'd prefer one made of ballistic cloth or Cordura.

Try these guys I got a leather belt from them 13-14 years ago. Wore it three years on the job, built our house and still have it now. Still wear it whenever I have carpentry to do.

I found a really helpful website on toolbelts last night.

I don't have a personal recommendation, I put mine together from separate bits on a belt. There are some really good ones out there. What I wanted to add was, make sure you get suspenders to go with your belt. They make a world of difference in the percieved weight of your tools and make putting on and taking off your belt a lot easier.

Thanks for all your help. I bought an Occidental Leather Barrel Bag.

Nice tool belt! Did you get the suspenders?

Nope...no suspenders.
