Occidental Leather 5057 Pocket Caddy

I used to use a different brand of tool pouch until they changed the design to include a pocket for a cell phone, there's no way I would want my cell phone way out on the outside of the tool pouch for easy breakage.I found this leather tool pouch after several hours of research, bought it to try and I am very impressed with the quality and design of this tool pouch. I use it every day at work as a plumber. The design is perfect, it easily holds a pair of 8" water pump pliers, multi-tip screwdriver, 1/4" drive ratchet with 5/16" deep socket, 4" level, and a magic marker.I go to several different service calls every day so I put the tool pouch in my back pocket and hook the loop under my belt several times a day. So far I haven't seen any sign wear. I think that this leather tool pouch will far outlast the canvas pouch that I used to use.My only complaint is that I wish that there was a smaller pocket to slip my ratchet wrench into, but otherwise it is a great product.

Best small pouch I’ve ever owned. I spent years buying the nylon garbage that usually only lasts a few months before your screwdrivers are poking out of the bottom. My 1st 5057 lasted me 12 years and, the only reason it’s not on my hip anymore is because it was stolen. I did have to re-rivet the bottom center section and the belt snap after about 8 years which occidental said they would have gladly done for free if I had shipped it to them. I’m on my 2nd one now and it’s going strong. Easily worth the 32$; it will outlast 50 of the the 12$ nylon pouches!

I still use it but after modifications. I'm an electrician and use this everyday but had to modify it with a metal plate to add some support and I had to cut the bottom out of the pockets to let my tools slide deeper. This could be a better pouch but I don't think an electrician designed it. As for quality I believe it will last a while.

Works great for me. Owned one for 10-12 years on my industrial job. Carried pointed scissors,utility knives and pens among other items. Over a few years I tried other types of pouches but none lasted longer or held my tools in a unobtrusive way. Great leather product.Update: 1 month after usage, the leather has come undone from one of the rivets. I still used the pouch, however, the snap button has broken and now I can't use it. Going to call Occidental to see if a replacement is in order.Update: A month and a day later, Occidental says I have to contact Amazon directly in writing. I didn't ask if that was by email or snail mail. We shall see. I tend to think this product has great leather but the metal doesn't hold too well. Especially the snap button.Updat Again. It's been months since Amazon exchanged the pouch with no hassles. The pouch has and is doing what it's designed to do. I probably got a bad one the first time. It happens. I'm satisfied. No problems with the rivets or the snap. Leather is nice quality.

This thing is great!!! It hold just what I need for what ever job I'm doing at the time. A big plus for me is that I don't have to undo my belt just to get it on/off I can just put it in my back pocket and go. The leather is thick but still has give to accommodate a change in tools. Stitching is vary nice and the rivets are well placed. I give it five stars!!

the best! wow! hands down the best tool pouch i have ever laid hands on. nice thick leather, beautiful craftsmanship. Occidental Leather is the way to go. don't think about it, dont be cheap. spend the extra money and buy the last pouch you will ever need. money on anything else is a waste.i have wasted money on this or that tool caddy and have always been disappointed. its as if those other manufacturers don't use their own stuff. designed by people who dont use tools. Occidental leather is not one of these brands.

You just can't go wrong with Occidental. This pouch easily holds:Fluke hot checkerMilwaukee folding razor knifeIdeal strippersKlein 10 in 1Streamlight flashlightSharpieI would purchase this again.

As an electrician, I got into the habit of sticking tools in my back pocket all the time. This is not ideal, as they would often dig in and hurt my butt, or fall out onto the ground. This product is fantastic! It keeps all my tools organized and in a neat package that can be easily put on or taken off. The tools fit snuggly, and even stay in place when I am in strange positions in an attic or crawl space. Perfect for any application, I will be buying Occidental in the future.
