Belt 'V' Vest or....

[martysparky]

Which tool belt / vest do you use and why do you prefer that arrangement?

I know its personal preference but just want to hear opinions.

Cheers.

I never remember to put my tool belt on and so consequently spend about 50% of my time looking for where the tool fairy has moved my screwdriver, cutters, test leads etc to - "i never left that there"

Have tool pouch but don't wear it cos it makes me look like a member of the village people

Just carry it from place to place in my hand...

ha, I know the feeling! When you do remember to put it on its bliss for a few seconds until it the feels in the way.

Need to know a really comfortable one that makes you not want to be without it.

I have a CK tool pouch with a big belt, like what a weight lifter wears to support his back. Took the belt of the pouch cos I dont wear it much and so I just carry the pouch around now by the handle.

Mine is just a cheap one (can't remember the make) wear that on the right and my voltage tester on the left - great until you have to squeeze back out of a small loft space onto your step ladder!

I have the Dewalt electricians pouch, had it, must be about 10 years now.

Cost a fair bit when I got it but it's still going strong.

Me trousers with loads of pockets , its amazing how clean screws become when washed too , i have to admit when im doing a new build or job which requires loads of clips i use a tool pouch got it at a car boot 10 years ago for 50 p always there when needed

i use the pockets on the snickers and a cheepo small belt from the quid shop i think it was a pound

CK Tool Belt and braces. I'm a little chubby so without braces the belt falls to the ground under the weight of my abdomen. Great for up ladder work, impossible in confined spaces and yea, fully agree with Village People problem.

I use a CK vest for networks because I can fill my pockets with plugs, not many tools required: saves bending down, which becomes harder with age.

Padded CK belt and a couple of pouches. Rarely worn as I keep forgetting it, but invaluable when up ladders etc....
