About the 6-Piece Heavy Duty Suspension Rig

  • Padded suspenders Adjustable 3-point padded suspenders help you carry the load comfortably through a full day.
  • Large pouches Big pockets leave room for hand tools and loose fasteners together.
  • Rear hammer loop The hammer rides at your back, clear of the pouches up front.
  • Fits to 50 in The padded belt adjusts to fit waists up to 50 in.

This rig carries a working load in one set. You fill the large pouches with hand tools and fasteners, hang your hammer in the rear loop and shrug on the suspenders. The padded 3-point suspenders share the weight between your shoulders and hips, so your lower back takes less of it by the end of the shift.

Everything is heavy-duty polyester, 100 percent, in black. The suspenders adjust at three points and carry padding where they sit on your shoulders. The padded belt fits waists up to 50 in. The rear hammer loop keeps the hammer at your back, and the pouches hang at your sides where your hands can reach them.

Pick another model if

The rig is all polyester, so you will not get the feel of leather. It is sized for waists up to 50 in, and larger waists need another belt. If you carry only a few tools, the Contractor Apron in oil-tanned leather is a smaller setup. For framing in leather, the Carpenter's Suede Pouch hangs on your own belt.

Use and care

  • Shake sawdust and loose screws out of the pouches at the end of each day.
  • Rinse mud off the polyester with water and let the rig air dry.
  • Check the suspender adjusters before you load up, and reset them if they slip.

    YES!!

    I work in HVAC, and this tool belt is perfect for me. After 8 months of use, I will can happily say its very durable, and has all of the pockets I need for tools and different types of screws. I had to add an extra pocket on the shoulder strap my my multitool, and there is enough room to add a holster for your drill if you need it.I think the only problem I can think of is that the Y- suspender strap is pretty broad and does tend to rub up on your neck. But its really only noticeable in the summer time when your clothing layers are thin.It is a tool belt for a rough job, and it does exactly what it is meant to do. I would not lightly drop a 5-star rating on a product like this. This tool belt is great.

    Hangs at a natural position

    Nice tool belt, well made and what I like best is that the bottom of the pockets hang at the level of a natural arms length so your not trying to dig deeper to get to the bottom of your pouch to find the nails like some framing pouch's can be. I'm used to the light weight of the nylon tool belts I know the leather last longer but, getting a new belt every 3 to 5 years isn't that bad .I'll have to see how long this one last, I'm a professional so it will get used 5 days a week or more.

    Fits only little people

    If you weigh more than 125 lbs this belt wont fit right. To make it work I had to buy a separate larger belt and it still wasn't right. Thank God I only paid $35. No wonder the manufacturer discontinued it.

    Great product, especially for the

    I work in concrete and having this light weight but durable pouch makes my day much easier. The suspenders are cushioned in the right spots and take the weight off of your hips. Great product, especially for the money

    they would be better if they were not Velcro

    With the weight of the tools I have to carry the shoulder straps don't hold, they would be better if they were not Velcro. Other than that great bags with lots of room.

    Pretty comfortable, not for the skinny person but can be doable (when you put it in the tightest loop it starts to smosh and bind the rest of the belt up, leaving a little bump around waist). It does hold a lot of tools and easily carries the weight of them without the suspenders much more than my bucket boss. All in all its a good tool belt, use it everyday wich says something but just not the right fit for the skinny, maybe I'm just too lazy to figure out a different set up. Oh and it's very strong with no rips after a years worth of everyday use.
