Summary as of now
I switched the bags around from left to right side because of the drill holster only because I use on the right with fasteners. Doing this makes the hammer holster on the other bag be in the front. Not a big deal for me. I do HVAC work and just grab my hammer when I need it and put it on the belt. The zip up part seems strong and protects my meters and other stuff when not in use also no spillage. Comfortable enough to wear all day mine comes on off...

hvacIQguy: This bag is amazing, it’s got a place for everything… except screws. To put screws in this bag you gotta fill one of the pockets w/too many screws so to be able to reach them. I’m gonna find another pouch for screws. Which is no big D. My fav thing art about the bag is this. One of the pockets zip up. And it’s a tool pouch. So I can put both my Fieldpiece SC meters in it, along w/other service tools and use it as a service pouch too. I use this bag for HVAC commercial installation and residential/commercial service… I seriously don’t know of a more versatile tool bag in brands w/much higher priced tags.
One thing I don’t like about the bag (which is no ones fault but my own skinny ass)… I have to have the bag custom altered because the bag is physically way too big for me. Even manipulating and making the harness’ as small as possible, it’s still way too big for me. Fixing that is a very simple problem tho. I’ve had to customize so many things like that. Lol, you should see what I’ve done to my Klein masters series 48 pocket tool backpack w/removable caddy.

Avery Dunn: Great belt so far. Lots of good compartments. Good modern design. Very comfy. I am 5'8", 150lbs and it sits good on me. Can definitely be adjusted to go bigger.

Nova cheese: I have been using these bags for just over two years now and things are just starting to break on them, so take that for what you will.
The clips holding the suspenders have been replaced with carabiners since they have failed, and the zipper pull on the side pouch has gone missing, but otherwise there are no holes in the main pouches, and they hold probably more gear than I should be carrying.
The zippered pouch has a tendency to dump whatever you have in there into your main pouch if its not zipped shut, there is a Velcro strap to prevent that, but that only works depending on what is in the zippered pouch.
I don't use the angled pocket on the left side for my drill and instead opted for a drill hook as having the drill on the left was awkward for me, but I do find that pocket handy for zip ties.
This belt can heavy, but that is really dependent on how much stuff you load into it, and how well you balance the weight between the bags. The suspenders help considerably, but they aren't magic either, so use some common sense when loading this belt and you should be fine.
The wide belt really helps as I have never had hot spots. I really life having lots of pockets so...

JacobJacob: If you’re someone who carries 20+ tools this is a belt for you!! AWESOME BELT!!! This is the only belt I will use for work. And I am a CATV FIELD TECHNICIAN ITS HOLDS all the tools I need. It is perfect. You can’t go wrong with CLC THEY are by far the best company I’ve gone with and will never change. The belt is nice durable and heavy duty. Mine lasted me 3 years before wear and tear. I’m purchasing my second one. Now I do want to mention that the first one I bought was model 1. The one you see in the description that you all are complaining about. The one I just received now is much improved the pockets the stitching. They all feel waaaaaay more durable and heavy duty. Thank you

Amazon Customer: I ordered this tool belt because I started getting a sore back from my other belt which did not have suspenders. The upgrade was totally worth it and the price point of this tool belt is unmatched. I use it every day and I love it

Tallywacker: If this is a review to the manufacturer I'd say put the drill holder on the opposite side of the belt to the material pouch. So you can pull out the drill in one hand and a screw with the other instead of juggling. As well as having the zip up cover on both sides. The material pouch needs it more in my opinion.But a small change for how great the belt is ! I'd recommend for sure

TimothyTimothy: These bags are legit. I’m an electrician and they fit all of the tools I need in the right pouch and couplings, connectors and wire-nuts in the left bag’s pouches. The tape-measure clip on the left bag is super nice and handy too.
I was hesitant about the zipper cover flap on the right bag. I thought it might be annoying and flap around but it’s actually one of this bag’s best qualities. It has a Velcro tab that holds it down nicely and i put my ear buds, my GFI tester and wallet in the discreet zipper sleeve on it. But most importantly I zip it closed at the end of the day to keep my tools from spilling out all over the place. While the other guy’s tools are flying out of his Rack-A-Tiers bags on the way home, mine are secured and right in there place when we start work the next day.
The belt is super sturdy and the bag’s placement on your hips can be adjusted via Velcro that lines most of the belt. The two hook belt and the Velcro waist band keeps the bag in its proper place on your waist and is sturdy and made out of solid material as is the entire bag. I could see myself using this bag for five years or more.
The suspenders keep the weight...

Marky Mark: This is a great belt for an electrician. However, I do not needs all of these tools for everyday use which is why I don’t know ever wear my belt anymore. The belt is too heavy for everyday use and totally not necessary for remodels or finishes. The only issues I have with this belt is that the left side should’ve had one pocket instead of two on the outer side with a zipper. I carry wire nuts in one pocket and staples in another pocket and when my I place my belt on the floor on or in the car, the belt can tip over and spill all my staples and wire nuts. All of my screws are in ziploc bags for this exact reason but overall this belt is great for storage and being able to have everything for residential without additional pack out or backpacks.
