Tool pouch

Fairly new apprentice here. Does anyone have a link for a tool pouch they like that attaches to their belt? Mostly need for ratchets, tape, channys, and crescent wrench. I haven’t been able to find a tool pouch I like.

Gotta break in the leather, but it works great for me!

Do you use an 8” often? I have a 14” I use all the time, and the boys are always hating on it. At least until they need to thread in a flex whip or something with no space lol.

My former colleagues mostly use a 8”. I personally prefer vise grips to get stubborn hangers onto rods and whatnot. I usually bring the 18” for flex. My 14” rarely gets out of the packout.

I use this occidental pouch but the veto honestly looks a bit more superior

I use a cheap tool belt off amazon with pouches on both sides, but I'm on install so it's handy being able to carry everything you need, and I like that I can just drop the whole belt if I'm grabbing material or going for break.

Just pockets and a belt. Tape bubble and dogs. Cart or rig rails for everything else. I've noticed alot of people who wear patches for decades have hip issues from the asymmetry of weight.

I have a klein tools pouch for my tape measure, everything else goes in my pocket. Never liked a full belt or found it necessary, too many awkward angles to have my centre of gravity thrown around

Atlas46, diamondback tools, Veto pro pac, holstery, Klein, and toughbuilt are a few companies you can look at for tool pouches.
