favourite tool belt style

[mic-d]

I'm a bit sick and tired of my tool belt which is a leather type with two larger pockets either side of a tape pouch. Suffice to say it is uncomfortable and does not fulfill my tool/fastener carrying requirements. Because the task at hand varies daily, I'm thinking of getting a bucket storage system or tool bag and reverting to just a simple tool bag on a belt to hold some fasteners, tape hammer etc.
What is your favourite setup that works for you?

I use a leather tool belt when up a ladder, when inside I just use shirt pockets and the closest flat surface.
When I take out the cameras I use a vest similar to a fly vest for batteries lenses etc etc, could that be adapted for what you want?

Try looking up "Bucket Boss" and "Rooster" on the internet.

You could also look at Rocket @ www.rocketfilmequipment.com.au - they make a variety of belts & pouches which you can use to make up your own custom setup. Made from Cordura/nylon not leather but well made & last for years - current world standard for film crews, set builders etc.

Don't lie those are your aprons. I've seen you at K-Mart buying new aprons while wearing your spandex foily.

Ozwiner,

Is there a regulation colour or style, or will any old frilly pinny do. I'd hate to see the frill caught in the router, swmbo would not be impressed when next doing the spuds.

FWIW I invested in a Rooster tool tote and just a simple 2-pocket nail bag for the belt. Suits my needs pretty well.

I bought a heavy canvas apron from Woodenboat awhile back {sorta like those woodturner aprons only canvas instead of leather} didnt cost as much as I expected from the USA... has three large pockets in the front straps cross over the shoulders and back and another strap down low on the back... Ive stiched a peice of leather on the right hand side with a bent steel hook afair to hold hammer and a heavy duty one on the left for the battery drill... had it operational for over 2 years and it works a treat!

mmmm gotta remember to empty the damned pockets out shortly maybe thats where my ruddy nail punch disappeared to about 6 months ago :mad:

I gave up on the belts after my last one broke while on the roof doing some repairs to the corrigated iron... bloody hammers hurt like buggary when the whole shootin match drops on yer bare feet on the tin roof in the middle of summer and the last thing a bloke needs is to have to do an impromptu irish jig on a hot tin roof cause his nail bag broke!! :mad: Still on the positive side it did give the neighood kids a big giggle seein "that tubby little wild haired fella dancin on the roof in his bare tootsies"

I went for canvas cause pink just ithint my color dothent go with my hairth or eyeth dearths

The warehouse have some belts onm offer at the moment, conventional in leather, a heavy nylon belt and a heavy nylon apron.
I bought a belt for me and an apron for miss 17 to use as a farriers apron and it works well, they cost from about $8 to $12.

I replaced my older double pouched belt with a single which has 3 seperate pockets. I got it from brett's timber & hardware over windsor way. Great set up( well for me it is) as there is nothing to get snagged and plenty of room in the pockets. Good Aussie made brand by the name of Samuel's leather gear from the north coast of NSW.
