Dickies 4-Piece 3.8 lb. Cooling Mesh Tool Belt Suspenders with Steel Buckle and Padded Carpenter's Rig in Grey and Tan

Phillip Stanton: I recently started a new job and had my eye on this tool belt for two reasons. It was under $100 and it already came with shoulder harness. This is the reason I’m only giving 3 stars because the shoulders straps do not work very well. The pocket on the shoulder strap barely fits my tiny lather man tool. Definitely too tiny for any smart phone from this decade. The tool belt itself is suffice enough with large pockets to carry everything in my needs. I install solar on roofs to be more elaborate. At this price it’s not that good of a deal for just an ok enough tool belt. Also the rear buckle attachments in the rear are not removable. This is a major issue considering that the buckles are only made of plastic therefore when they break the shoulder straps are totally out of equation for good. Not that they are very useful to start with. They fall off your shoulders every time you bend down to work on something. A simple sternum strap or chest strap as some call it would of helped here. I rigged my own one up with old string line. That kinda helped but still wasn’t the most comfortable fit. Best way I found to wear it was by crisscrossing the straps in the front before buckling...

MianJaze: This tool belt is a great invention. It doesn't weigh down on the waist and dig into him like a belt does. It has many pockets and is very user friendly!

babyskylark_peghu: This was my first pair of this style. The product seems good - well built, looks like it'll hold up. Reinforced stitching where you'd expect more pressure/load points to be.

The bags are held in place with velcro, seems sturdy. We'll see how it holds up... not as free floating as the leather systems, but they have their trade offs.

The belt is sized accordingly; I'd probably buy a size smaller if I'm somewhere closer to the lower end of the range for what the manufacturer lists. However, everything was adjustable, and I don't think I'm going to be cinching everything down to the tightest possible notches anyways. But having it a bit more "loose" I can't tuck the strap through the loop, so I probably did buy a bit bigger than I should. I'll see how it all holds up when I wear my full gear though as I tend to wear a back brace as well to help, which is why I bought a little bigger to allow for the extra back support.

No complaints so far though! The suspenders were similar - I'm tall(er), 6'1" with average to slender build, and I feel where the padding lands is not quite right, so I also shortened the shoulder straps and fed the adjustment buckles back through...

Miranda Briggs: Holds everything perfectly! If it had a chest strap with a clip and a bigger pocket for a smart phone it would be even better! No complaints! Great bags!

Sean: Very comfortable, all the features and pockets are excellent, as is the build quality so far. It’s almost perfect…

I’m an average size guy, 6’ tall 170 lbs. I cannot seem to get this thing small enough to properly fit. I don’t know how someone shorter than me would fit. Maybe every carpenter/framer is a barrel-chested behemoth? I know it has to accommodate a wide range of sizes, but it seems like the smallest it was meant for was someone like 6’2”, 190 lbs. I’ll keep seeing where I can tighten it up, but I’m definitely running out of things to try.

Samantha Smythe: Bought for husband, he said it was very comfortable and durable. He uses daily for work. He work's construction.

Thomas A Smith: Overall construction is good. The pocket for the framing square is too shallow and it keeps falling out, the opening is not overly stiff. Pockets are plenty big and have no problem with the tools I use including my driver.
I am 6'3" and a lot of that height is in my upper body so the straps, while they do extend far enough, keep slipping off my shoulders. Could just be my body shape, though.
I do wish it had a stiffer belt. I find that the loops from the shoulder straps are causing the belt to curl and shift.
Overall I recommend this for someone in the trade, I am not but do enough odd job work that it was a good upgrade from my well worn old tool belt.

Geordy: So for the 65$ its of the quality to expect. I have a 32" waist and it took about a hour to adjust everything. The pouches are massive with my tools in it and no nails screws ect.. Just going trough a door frame will mar something up. if you plan to be climbing trough joists I would not recommend this. for a weekend worrier looking for something to carry all the essential tools (like me) this belt is everything I need. there is a slit in the right hand pouch that will fit a speed square but not the orientation you would expect, and the forward compartments will hold a 9" level but not as secure as I would like. That's the only major design flaws.

I moved the hammer holster to the front right and put a "bucket Boss 55124 Top Grain Leather Drill holster" in the small of the back and its a nice fit.
