Tool belt recommendations

What's the preferred flavour of tool belt? Need a new one so looking for quality.

Got the CK one, with the belt drill holder phone holder, nice bit of kit you can take of what you do not want to use, the tool pouch has lots of compartments And a handle on the top so you can use it as a small tool bag ( very small tool bag but good for grab and go) will find a link for you but think you will find it before me

Snickers work vest. Great when first fixing on house bashing and all the weights off your middle

Interesting you should ask, as I was about to post exactly the same question. I find my DeWalt one too bulky and the Bahco one too small

I use a Snikki one that cost next to nothing - £6 or so. FRISTADS SNIKKI ELECTRICIANS LEATHER TOOL POUCH BELT CLIP HOLSTER HOLDER 7204 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191477903186
I was going for the Kuny 1503 but so skint when getting basic kit up together, anything was better that nothing. I know the Snikki will not be good enough for some but we all work differently so I've adapted with it. It hooks over belt/trousers and takes a number of tools but weight goes up = trousers come down, so I always wear belt. If I'm not using tools I'll hook it round back, up a ladder to the front right. It's leather, it part of me. When it dies I'll buy another AND a kunys because I'll be rich and successful and be able to afford it!

I have a tool roll fixed to my belt so I can carry all the screwdrivers!
However it is all just falling apart at the moment. Needs more rivets!
The forge steel ones don't last long enough, but you probably weren't even considering those!

Id consider them Richard if they were good quality, I'm not to snobby when it comes to tools. My favourite side cutters ATM are draper ones that cost me £4.99 from the range lol

I tend to use my workpant pockets and additional flappy pockets. I can usually fit half a dozen drivers, cutters, pliers, voltage indicator, and a handful of other tools in there. There is also the additional bonus of the random junk accumulated in the bottom of the flappy pockets. Im never wanting for a inch and half eight screw, wago of some kind, bit of sleeving, 3.5mm screw, or some other useful bit when I'm sporting my flappy pocket trousers.

Yeah I wear holster pocket trousers but I don't think you can beat a tool belt when 1st fixing new builds. 1mm and 2.5 clips separated, grommets, screws, cradle bases, cable ties etc.

I have the CK, well made no complaints, does what it says on the tin!

Horses for courses i suppose. I don't do new builds. Not at the prices wanted round here, proper mugs game. You seem to do it right though.

Yeah I only really do them for a few builders that ive worked with for years, they appreciate whats involved in doing a good job and allow sufficient time and money on the job. Ive heard/seen some complete horror stories round my way though lol
