Olalekan A: I'm a skinny man with small waistline this is the only carpenters rig that fits me properly with no sagging. So many pockets as well to stock your essential tools while working. All in all its a good buy for such price

Ap: Had this pouch for almost 3 years doing formwork and held up through heavy use. My only complaints would be the belt loops get broken fairly quickly and needs more layering inside the nail bags. This is a poor man’s Diamondback but for the price you can’t beat it. Just bought another one

Amazon Customer: I'm a thin guy and I'm near to the last notch. the suspenders are totally useless unless you have a wide upper frame. no way to tighten around your chest area so the suspenders fall off your shoulders. otherwise, strong build, holds up well for roofing. i feel I will have this a few years to come yet

Jay: Feels very similar to the $150 DeWalt pouches, which usually only last a couple years of hard daily all season use. Very similar layout of the pouches as well but a lot more organizing features. No handle for carrying it which is a first for me. Easily added a makeshift handle with a lanyard and 2" ring

ScotianOutdoors: used this in the renovation world (of course i didnt really need it on all day every day) It stayed practically mint condition with zero failure, I had times with it absolutely loaded with tools blades and fasteners.

ive been with a framing crew for the past month, belt goes on at 7 comes off at 5, and its got a lot of wear around the bottom of the pockets on the outside, from rubbing sheets, studs, trusses, squeezing.
could easily pick up a tube of shoe goo and doctor it up for years to come. pretty comfortbale to be completely honest. im a fit fella but regardless i can feel that the suspenders are doing their job.

32 waist and if i take the suspenders off it doesnt want to stay on my hips when its loaded with fasteners and essential framing tools

straps themselves are really good, i dont find they come loose like some say. but mine are as tight as they can go and i come in around 175 lbs 5'9.
i took the horizontal strap off of an old school bag and hand sewed it to these straps to keep them on my shoulders and i found it made the belt literally twice as good. pro tip.

good bang for buck. great starter belt. I'm upgrading now to leather. but...

R Z: I did buy one of these belts years ago and that’s why I re-purchased another one the only thing that I don’t like about the new one is the belt on it the little round pieces that they have in there don’t last long literally mine were destroyed in a couple of days I think a nice leather belt might work better for their system

mstone: I gave it five stars because it is very well made with good materials. It say one size fits all but unfortunately I had to return it because it is too small for me. I have a 35" waist but the bags are not adjustable which puts the bags way in the back. So far back on my butt that I couldn't even look into the most forward pockets. I like the bags more on the sides so the weight is more evenly distributed. I'm guessing for these bags to work you would need to be really skinny. They are really nice, just too small.

Joe: I have been using this rig for 7 months now. I wanted to make sure I used it for a good amount of time before I gave my review so here it is.

First of all let me say that I am an electrician and the main tools I put in this belt are most of my pliers, cutters, strippers, channel locks, screw and nut drivers, razor knife, screws, wire nuts, staples and hammer.

Now for the pouch on the right side I would say it is excellent. It has numerous slots inside the main pocket to hold your pliers and screwdrivers. Under the main pocket which I just explained is another pocket. That's where I keep my wire nuts or staples depending on what I'm doing. For using this pouch 40 hours a week for the past 7 months it has held up perfectly and has no signs of wear.

On to the left pouch, it has one main pocket and then under that is 2 small pockets great for holding screws, staples or small miscellaneous items. I usually keep my tape measure in the back left small pocket and put staples or screws in the front one. The main pocket on this side is what makes me give this a 4/5 rating. It's big and maybe even bigger than the right pouch but it doesn't have any "in-pocket slots" for...

koop: First off, I am a Do It Yourselfer and bought this during while turning my attic into a master bedroom and bathroom. My old leather tool belt ripped after many years of faithful service. Unfortunately all the leather bags are now through the roof price wise, so it was cheaper to get a whole new rig.

The good...
- bags seem durable so far, time will continue to tell.
- nice layout for tools in the bags, pockets for pretty much everything I use.
- priced nicely.

The bad...
- the belt rolls over and padding bunches up if you don't use the suspenders (which I don't like using)
- the suspenders do not stay adjusted and are constantly needing to be re-adjusted
- everything is black, which makes it hard at times to see where you are putting your tools. This will probably not be an issue after I get used to the new tool layout though.

Dead On did a nice job with the bags and everything could have been really nice if they had added a stiffer belt. I think I will replace the belt with a heavy leather belt when the next big project comes around.
