    Front right hook pocket I put tin snips, back left pocket by hammer for linemen pliers, slotted pocket works well for chisel next to your cats claw, top left pocket chalk box. You can also put chalk box on right pouch using small pocket on left for more screws. I prefer having all screws on left side since I’m right handed for drill. One thing I do wish these bags had was one more pouch on the left side for more hardware.

    The tape fits best if you put it in upside down with the tape clip facing out

    I bought this set about 2 years ago and this is one of my favorite one. I had the fat lip nylon one but it was too bulky so I started searching for any video that showed how this one looked but I couldn't find any at that time till now. you won't regret, this bag is very comfortable but I still recommend some nylon suspenders. great video!

    Nice bags , but i dont like tape pockets as an 8mtr Fat Max always struggles to fit easily so i prefer a clip or pit it in one of the pouches . I bought the Milwaukee screwdriver around a year back and its a great tool . Im not a Milwaukee fan as generally their handtools are pretty rubbish but that screwdriver has saved me having to carry six drivers in my general toolbag .

    Nice set of bags, they are great quality. I have Occidental's for years now and love them. Just don't lose too much weight 'cause the belt looks like it will be too big for you when it will be stretched out my man. When the leather ages, it will stretch and conform to your body and the weight of fasteners and tools you carry and will become as comfy as an old pair of jeans. I also have the suspenders and belt buddies... my waist line is now straight with my hips so I need those now to keep the belt on me :)
    For the chisel, consider getting the plastic tool shield Occidental has. It saves the bottom of the chisel slot from cutting up and they are very cheap. It fits perfectly in there. Also, I use the front loop of the tool bag for hanging my impact driver or my snips, rarely the hammer. It is perfect for that. I also see that you have a Milwaukee speed square, those edges are sharp like ice skates and will cut up the leather over time. Sand those edges down with high grit sand paper to dull them up.

      Jonathan - don't forget, sand the sharp edges with high grit sand paper :)

    • @ibrazeau3044

      Jonathan - for the belt exchange, because it is a fixed belt, make sure to try it out and that it fits properly before leaving the store. Make sure your most common belt setting is in the mid setting. When you need more clothing under the belt, you will have room to fit it under. The sheep wool will compress. Also, that the bags are not too behind you. I have a large belt for normal work conditions and also and x-large one for winter/outside work conditions. I'll remove/replace the belt depending on the time of year. I own a pro-framer set with loose bags where the belt can be changed.
      On the video, the belt seems big on you though.

      I Brazeau hi, I was considering purchasing this fixed stile of belt but not to many people seem to buy them. I am now considering the build it yourself with belt, sheepskin liner and bags. I figured if I damaged a bag I could replace it instead of having to replace the hole belt

    • @ibrazeau3044
      @ibrazeau3044 4 роки тому +1

      Dan The Chippie - good idea. The advantage with separate bags and belt, for me at least, is that if you gain/lose weight or work with thicker clothing (winter and summer like I have), you can just replace the belt. Or, if you do a lot of electrical or gypsum, you can just buy the dedicated tool pouch. This setup is much versatile overall... and like you say, if you damage one (which I doubt you will) the above applies also.
      For the sheep skin liner... I use the belt buddies instead of sheep skin. I like that the setup is a little lighter with them, that they hold the bags properly and tightly on the belt and that the loops aren't in the middle of the back so you can have the hammer loop immediately there or you can easily add a utility bag beside the hammer loop because there is space. Also, the hip buddy loops are fixed so when the suspenders are on, they do not move around at the belt. I find the hip buddies' versatility outweighs the relative additional comfort of the sheep skin liner. And they are cheaper. Matter of preference.
      Either setup is great. I just prefer the modular setup over the fixed as well. They are just amazing bags.

    were those sinkers galvanized? they looked liked vinyl sinkers, and I like nails and stuff primarily on the left because reach across body is awkward

    Wow, is there a place for storing the sound system in there some place?
    Yes by all means rearrange the pencil selections.
    Do the gloves come in a different color selection?

    • @Theremodelingchannel
      @Theremodelingchannel  Рік тому +1

      I don’t know what sound system you’re referring too, but yes they come in different colors mostly red yellow or gray.

    Was that a medium or large? Does it still fit good? If you were going to do it again, would you get the same size or a different one? Good review!

    • @Theremodelingchannel
      @Theremodelingchannel  3 роки тому +1

      It’s a large. Honestly I don’t use it. I do interior remodeling so it’s too bug and heavy for me. But if I were to use it I would build my own setup

      How do you hang your drill/impact? I've seen people use one of those quick side in and out ball connector to belt attachment.

      @Theremodelingchannel  Рік тому +1

      Yes you can put the belt look suspenders. If you bought the bags and the belt that come apart you can put the suspenders on.
