Occidental Tool Belt New Modifications

[@dannyherbert67]

Try the badger toolbelt, the customer make anything, and if you put electrical tape at the very end of your hammer that helps it slide into the holster

[@dannyherbert67]

They make a hard plastic piece for the end of those stiletto hammers to make it easier to slide in and out of the hammer sleeve

Not sure if you want to look into getting a different set of bags but akribis leather makes exactly what you're looking for. They sell the bags individually as well so you don't have to buy their belt.

Thanks for the info. I have heard of those bags. Will take a look.

I have the same titanium stiletto curved handle, it doesn’t fit too well in the diamondback hammer sleeve. The wood handle In the diamondback sleeve is awesome. But the rubber curved handle not so good. Try badger sleeve (don’t think they sell them separate from the pouches) or atlas 46 or maybe the Jolly Roger plastic one from holstery. I have similar Occidental’s and like them because you can get your hands in and out easy. I have the same bit issue I just deal. if I had to rebuy the diamondback I would get the grande set probably, I bought the eagle and miter. Now my apprentice uses them. I’m back to the occidental just because it was hard to get my hands in and out mainly with fasteners. Some things I loved about them though. Good luck

What size pants are you what size comfort belt did you get?
I went with a large im a size 36-38 just depends on time of season😂

[@jamesthornton3339]

To get your tape to fit, remove the clip. I can easily slide my 35' fatmax into that pocket on my pro framer set.

[@matthewharger4578]

I removed the clip and I still find it to be a bit tight. Definitely still usable. Thanks for the tip!

[@jamesthornton3339]

@matthewharger4578 it was tight for about a week and a half, then I noticed it getting easier.

[@donmarion8808]

Any boot repair place should be able to help you. Or point you in the right direction. I love the bags, but having a tape there is absolutely the worst place. I removed mine and added a couple of leather straps to it and wear it on the belt itself.

[@salient2849]

Is that stronghold belt worth it? Did you just get the same size as the regular belt?

[@matthewharger4578]

I definitely think it’s worth it. More comfortable and bags stay in place when taking on/ off. I got a size smaller than the regular belt. Seems the sizing on this belt is different. I would guess that the size larger would have fit also. I use the last hole on the belt comfort belt when wearing a sweatshirt. I like the fact that the suspenders loops are built into the belt.

[@salient2849]

@@matthewharger4578 so if you were to say were a winter jacket your belt would be too small? It’s so tough to really know sizing on these things there site doesn’t do a great job of explaining it

[@matthewharger4578]

When I wear my winter coat I put the coat over the belt. So for me as long as it fits over a sweatshirt I am good. I bought mine thru a certified dealer on Amazon so I could send it back for free and get a different size if I had too.
