I just bought this.. yesterday….. I really do like the clip system.. it’s incredible… I bought the wall mount strips too.. and extra clips to hang off a tool bucket and by the side door and back door on my van.. I’m looking forward to seeing how it works out in the real world
The rails are great. I have used the clips by themselves as well. Mounted one one a scissor lift, placed a big magnet on one so I can just put it on steel, even mounted a few on my tool cart. Best system out there!
DIY'er here, mounted clips on a shelf post and just hang the loaded pouches and belt off it. Takes up very little room, is at eye height, and all the tools are accessible when in the shed.
What I loved about the toughbuilt clip tech was when it was break/lunch time, I could take the pouch/holster off and be able to enjoy my time without being weighed down or have tools falling out. I no longer work that summer(s) job and keep putting off getting myself a set for some stupid reason.
I thought I invented this system and was telling a co-worker today about my idea and he said they already have it so, after a little searching, I found this video and yup, not exactly my system but pretty close. I just bought the 4pc contractor set on Amazon. oops, sorry, I didn't use your link. :(
I have always being intrigued by the job of eletricians, plumbers and even mechanics. I have the money and the time (thanks to Covid-19) to take a course in either of these fields. But as a Union member making $40/hr and having a very comfortable job and being able to retire at 55 with a hefty pension it doesn't make sense for me to spend 2 years in trade school when I have only 5 years left to retire. I love watching your videos man, I love doing my own home renovations and other stuff that I have learnt to do for myself and save money $$$ at the same time.
The totes are great too. You can add those pouches and make a pretty comprehensive pack-in setup. I have some issues with the toolboxes that you can wheel around though. I think they are a little restrictive in the pocket department and they aren't as customizable as something like their tote. They have rails you can clip onto on the front but, unlike the tote, you can't clip another pouch to each side. It almost makes it seem like a bigger actual product than the tote, yet it has a smaller overall amount of storage than 2 of the 3 boxes they sell. The only one that has more storage than the setup I use is the XXL box which is giant but also 3x the price of the tote. One issue that causes the boxes to feel small is the fact that they need to displace space in the actual bottom of the boxes in order to make room for the giant wheels they have. Either that or they would have had to put the wheels on the outside and they would be in the way. It just reduces total useable space. Also, the boxes don't have the best outside pockets. The sides seem bare and since you can't put another pouch on the side like with the totes, they end up being just flat surfaces with a few wrenches in the bare-bones pockets and that's about it. If I look at my tote right now, the only wasted space is the side that rubs against my thigh as tote it around. Even that has small tools in pockets though. Meanwhile the XXL box even looks bare on the sides and offers little customization options outside of the 3 spaces you can clip pouches to in the front of the box. You can fit about 2 pouches on the XL model and 1.5 pouches on the L model. They make smaller pouches that would fit alongside a bigger one on the L model. If you combined the best of the totes with the best of the boxes, you'd have a pretty slick system. I think a good way to do that would be to make a dolly system that you can drop the tote into. That way you can sell it to everyone who already has the totes. I'd probably buy it if it was of good quality and wasn't too expensive.
Wonder how Tough Built compares with Occidental belts. Besides being x5 cheaper, they have a modular design and kick stands. This tips me over to Tough Built camp, plus the Cybertruck…lol!
This is great, Scott! I hadn’t really seen or considered these, but Ima have to take a look see! I like the clip on and off feature, very handy! This is the kind of content that is sensible, Informative, and helps others on making decisions with their hard earned greenbacks! Stay safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸
I have had this tool belt and suspenders/ multi bag system for a while now, 0 complaints. I have a small handyman business, and carry the specific tools I need in each bag. Electrical, plumbing, construction and even framing. When I get to a job, I’ll scope out what needs to be done then go to my truck. Don my belt, then grab whichever bags I need and clip them on. Saves me from hauling my Veto pro pack (when loaded, about 65 lbs) to and from. Plus I’m carrying the weight on my padded belt and leaves my hands free. I just got the large rolling bag, so I can bring my 18 volt tools to and from as well. Added bonus, I can clip a hub to the rolling bag and wheel everything in together…
Dont have the belt. However I do have the knife and knife. Knife pouch drill holster knee pads and just picked up the 18" wide mouth rolling tool bag great great product very versatile
I know this is a litle dated, but I had a new guy point this video out as he was going to buy the kit with the belt who then suggested I comment on it. We bought several of these for workers, including myself, based on the concept, which is awesome. Unfortunately, we have had multiple buckle failures, 4 of 13 so far, especially outdoors in the cold. The buckles are nearly impossible to open with gloves on and even worse when they are cold. Can't get the clips to fit most belts, as most of the pro belts are a quarter inch wider. Finally found an old AWP belt I had that they fit on and the pouches are incredibly useful because of the ability to be quickly switched. The belt, however, is pretty worthless.
Hey Jef, really great feedback and I have always thought the main belt bucket might give way with all the weight I normally load on the belt. Does the AWP belt also have the built in padding or just a standard belt?
As a framer I'm rather skeptical. While I love the idea and concept, I have very little confidence in something that has plastic and the nylon would need to be thicker.. Framers put their belts through the paces . We crawl between studs, climb through roof framing and floors. If they up the construction to a tougher quality I wouldn't just consider them, I would buy them.
Have it it is tough. Used to work as a framer it will hold up. If you ever brake a clip they sell them for cheap but in 3 years of electrical and remodeling work no problem
I use these pouches everyday installing garage doors. They are perfect I can easily take them on and off depending on what I'm doing. It's so much better than wearing a full normal tool belt that you have to just have everything on all the time it's heavy and cumbersome and most of the time it get caught on everything especially for me doing garage doors sometimes I don't have alot of room to move around the door.
I would have liked to see more on the actual belt. For example, how does it clasp shut? Can you add additional clip systems to it? How many did it come with (I'm assuming 2 since it came with 2 pouches)? What sizes does the belt fit? Etc. Great job on the pouches, but you forgot about the actual belt, lol.
Yeah the belt comes with the 2 "ClipTech Hubs" which are the plastic parts that clamp around the belt and receive the pouches. You can get a belt extension if needed for the right fit and although there is a lot of plastic overall the quality feels like it will stand up to some abuse. Thanks for the feedback 👍
@@EverydayHomeRepairs yep i woke up and payed attention when the pouch came off. Lol i can set them up where i just grab the bag i need at that time perfect and time saving.
I haven't looked into Home Depot but if you want to purchase the clips themselves, Lowes has them 3 for $5.99 where Amazon charges $16.89 for the same thing.
Hi Sir! Have you tried any of their new product line aviation snips , knives, scissors, seamer ? If yes, do you have opinion about them? Thanks for you answer! Cool video
So far so good. I have used the belt multiple days per week and each pouch is loaded up. I take the pouches on and off frequently and haven't seen any signs of early fatigue.
I think it would take a very heavy impact to break them.. I’m not worried about that at all.. someone probably lied about using them and having them break.. I say show me or it didn’t happen.. even if it did.. the clips are replaceable 3 for $5. So…. It’s a non issue
It has the plastic buckle which secures the belt and can be released with one hand but also has velcro which I think helps hold the belt snug while you buckle or unbuckle.
I’m always crawling around on the floor drilling a cutting something. The last thing I need is to have that thing hanging off my waist. I rather just reach over to my toolbox and grab what I need. I have a small tool pouch that I use when I climb a ladder…

I have this (Master Electrician/Handyman) with suspenders and it works great. I hang the suspenders over the seat for travel.
The rails are great. I have used the clips by themselves as well. Mounted one one a scissor lift, placed a big magnet on one so I can just put it on steel, even mounted a few on my tool cart. Best system out there!

💯 and if I am doing some work in a certain area for any given amount of time I will unclip and use the pouch kickstands to setup the pouches.
Clip tech is a game changer.

The belt is still holding up like new 👍
Been looking for a new tool belt and thanks to you I can stop looking. I love the easy on/off of the pouches.
That is the "killer feature" that sold me 👍
Hey is it holding up still? Because I wanna get one too

Every pouch you buy comes with an extra hub to put in your belt, you can use your regular old belt of you want tho
Good video. That's a cool tool belt system I was not aware of. Thanks for sharing.
For sure!
Thank you as always, looks like a great product line
Great belt. Thanks for all your knowledge.
Thsnk you i used your link for a handy man toll belt
Amazing Bro!!
Looks like a great belt. Already look for it online. 👍👍👍 4-17-21
I am about to go get myself one of these...
Yeah ill have to go and check those out.
Being a carpenter/contractor thst setup would work perfect. Thanks
Jeepemcoming
👍 the loading and unloading of the Pouches alone sold me.
@@EverydayHomeRepairs yep i woke up and payed attention when the pouch came off. Lol i can set them up where i just grab the bag i need at that time perfect and time saving.
Exactly!
@@EverydayHomeRepairs oh i can hear it now.
"Niiiiice Where'd you get them " lol
Carpenter in Ireland here. Have this belt system for about a year now. I’m 50 years old, and this is by far the best I’ve ever seen.
next weekend i'm heading to menards and grabbing me a belt ,the prices are very reasonable .
💯
You totally look like a Scott I went to high school with. It's kind of crazy.
thanks
My only complaint is the kickstand sucks on the pouches, they always get worn out and start falling over
Where do you put your speed square
I have that tool belt, but it ends up dumping when I'm driving. I just need to organize my truck and find a more stable spot to store it
I haven't seen the rails for them, I'll need to get one and mount it on my truck.
Been looking for a decent toolbelt but here in South Africa we are so limited to equipment like this .
Cost 3x the price to bring it in 🤦
FYI Home Depot also sells this system for those who don't care for Amazon.
Nice, I think only Lowe's and Menards in my area carry ToughBuilt Belts.
I haven't looked into Home Depot but if you want to purchase the clips themselves, Lowes has them 3 for $5.99 where Amazon charges $16.89 for the same thing.
Thanks buddy for the video, but, you look at littler bit to Bradley Cooper.
Hi Sir! Have you tried any of their new product line aviation snips
, knives, scissors, seamer ? If yes, do you have opinion about them? Thanks for you answer! Cool video
would you use suspenders for weight disbursement and safety?
I haven't tried the suspenders but that is a good idea as the belt has the built in loops 👍
Well if they are well worth the wear I see no problem.
Hello
Hola Hallo, Bonjour, Ciao, G'day, Hello Just a few a ways to say Hello
👋
What do people do for drills and/or driver's? I saw a nice holster from DeWalt but I don't see anything comparable on this platform
You know you have hit the next evolution of manhood when you are watching a review of a tool belt 😅
I have this belt and like it but I'm to fat so it digs when I bend over for stuff. I just got the none padded belt which is better for me.
These pouches are more than worth the money.
I've seen complaints online that the plastic quick connect snaps often break. Any worry about that?
So far so good. I have used the belt multiple days per week and each pouch is loaded up. I take the pouches on and off frequently and haven't seen any signs of early fatigue.
I think it would take a very heavy impact to break them.. I’m not worried about that at all.. someone probably lied about using them and having them break.. I say show me or it didn’t happen.. even if it did.. the clips are replaceable 3 for $5. So…. It’s a non issue
😎😍😎😍😎
Hi scot
What up buddy! 👊
Does’t come in men’s sizes.
😂 There is a belt extension which should help cover the spectrum sizes needed 👍
Is the belt buckle quick release?
It has the plastic buckle which secures the belt and can be released with one hand but also has velcro which I think helps hold the belt snug while you buckle or unbuckle.
Hell nah the "diy or handyman"🤣🤦🏿♂️
LOL how about that cyber truck huh? LOL 🤦🏾♂️
Don't trust any tradesman who says "if I need a tape for whatever reason".
I’m always crawling around on the floor drilling a cutting something. The last thing I need is to have that thing hanging off my waist. I rather just reach over to my toolbox and grab what I need.
I have a small tool pouch that I use when I climb a ladder…
why tf did you watch a video specifically about a toolbelt then... jfc
@@bash6519 just to see if I would like it. Plus you need to either keep transfer tools back to a box or buy double tools for the box and pouch
