I like this system but what about winter when you are wearing multiple extra layers? All your upper body wear has to sit above the the belt to access the tools. Maybe a good summer option 👍
Much as I love your products , the one I don’t like is the Square holder , No Beuno in occupied spaces , a prolific wall scratcher . I holster my various squares in leather , marked safe from wall scratches !
I usually carry the square in the middle behind me, where a lot of folks carry hammer loops. This keeps it from hooking anything and is easy reach with my left hand while my right hand grabs a pencil.
@@the_holstery Good Ideas , two secret weapons I Schlep , are a flat metal Square , ex Lee Valley tools , that rides in my slightly oversized note book , the other is a Starrett 4” Machinist’s the lives in a belt holster . I also schlep a small pair of Machinist’s dividers . I’m no Carpenter , but I’m a big fan of accuracy !
@@the_holstery I tend to avoid carry hard or sharp objects anywhere the Spinal area ; here in Canada , Ice etc can dump you on your ass all too easily , with very painfull/ nasty results . As always ; YMMV ! PS: I am a big fan of your stuff !
👏 I liked what you mentions you don’t do one thing all day I’m tired of my framing occidental bags to heavy even I have suspenders I just sold them I’m checking what to buy to hold my speed square and hammer and 2 shesels
Debby downer, eh? The idea of a modular tool belt system isn't new but this is still an improvement in design over the two you mentioned. Iron Dog lacks a separate inner belt and only has the outer "modular" belt. The modularity is also limited to just the same types of large pouches. It's just the big and bulky belt that you can to move pouches around on. The diamondback does have a separate inner/outer belt system but went the same lazy route that a lot of tactical belt makers do that these systems resemble (and are likely based on). It's just a length of nylon with a hook and loop on it with no real means of retention on the belt; the inner belt just doesn't work as a standalone belt in the diamondback system. AS someone that came from the tactical side of things and had to wear similar stuff for a duty belt I can tell you that it's only as good as the inner belt and the design on the holstery one is way better. There's still one or two things I think I'd adjust on the holstery design but that's more a preference thing more than anything else.
@@TonberryShuffle that's great my guy but I build custom homes for a living. I need a tool belt 90% of the time. When I don't? I just take it off. Tbh, I'm not really sure what demographic this brand is trying to appeal to; it's too much for installers (cabinets) and too little for anything else. Same for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc
@@georgebliss7674 I do electrical (started with wind turbines, down to commercial/industrial, currently low volt) and for a huge chunk of our work these would be perfect. Full tool belts just get in the way unless we're in a position where we're stationary. At which point we just drag in a full kit that will sit beside us for the day. Same for a lot of the HVAC guys we deal with. Hell, the joey would be perfect to hold fasteners and wire nuts for those times where we just need enough tools to fit into our pockets but need just a little bit more space.

It’s easy for me just to keep it in my back pocket, doesn’t stick out too bad
I also use a plastic square so it doesn’t fall out and chip concrete

Glad to see someone finally do this for tool belts! Good on you guys!
You guys a freaking genius’s!
Excellent just want I need
Awesome....👍👍
Whats the name to buy it on Amazon
If youre using the standard belto wothout Velcro, how are you supposed to remove the puch from your belt without taking it off your pants?
The pouch and all our products have a quick belt clip that slips over your belt without taking it off.
You "wear a belt and clip on tool holsters and pouches as necessary"?
So just like Diamondback and Iron Dog... right. How very 'original'
