Occidental Leather 5089 LG Large 7-Bag Framer Tool Belt

Best bags money can buy.Comfortable and sturdy,gives great support to lower back👍👍👍

Realy good quality

TLDR; Good buy, save your money up and experience this. (The product on the page is a size large, framing belt, no suspenders, I am guessing one of their cheaper models)I have been burned buying USA products before, this is not the case. This belt felt right. For me it was worth the price 100%. I used it as soon as I got it building a fence, and it saved me a whole bunch of time. I am a diyer, but I do a LOT of work, and have been needing a tool belt for a long time, finally splurged and yep, I needed this belt years ago.My ONLY gripe is that there isn't any really good options for hanging my impact, but I am sure this company sells add ons for this. Also I feel like suspenders are necessary these belts get heavy, you can buy suspenders though later. The belt is fine on it's own, just wish I had suspenders.I am not an expert, but the quality feels great, I saw no loose threads, or weird blemishes, everything feels supple and nice.I am size 36 levis, 34 wranglers, with some wide love handles (I don't get a potbelly), these fit on the 4th inner hole. So if I lose weight I have 3 more notches. If I got down to highschool weight of size 30 then I think I could still wear these. There are also 5 more notches for larger folk.It goes from about 35" on the smallest notch, to about 43" on the largest notch. (This was measured on a normal tape measure, not a clothing tape measure, my picture is bad, but these are just estimates anyways.)All of these components are seperate, so I reckon if someone was low on cash they could just buy the components seperate and add on as needed. It would probably be more expensive in the long run, but a lower upfront cost.I don't see any reason why this wont last. Products like this actually make me feel some pride. Some American products I buy are overpriced junk, inferior to their cheap Chinese counterparts. This belt feels well worth the price of admission.

I like how thick and comfortable the leather is and how wide the belt is. Everything on it is very good. They are pricey but you get a bag that will last you for a long time. The only thing is the belt should have been a larger size than they say.

I am not a professional framer, but I do a lot of home renovations and will be building a new house next year. I have had a cheap front pocket carpenters belt for a long time, but got tired of it slapping me in the legs all the time especially going up and down ladders etc. This Occidental framers belt is likely one of the best investments I have made in years. First, it is solid beyond belief. I ordered another popular "knock off" framers rig along with this one and the difference in leather quality and overall construction was night and day. Out of the box, the Occidental is too stiff, like a new pair of quality shoes, it needs a good bit of break in before it becomes comfortable to use. I have been wearing it for multiple hours each day during this hot and sweaty summer and it is now getting to where it hangs properly on my hips. I routinely carry one or two 18v Makita tools, and either hanging from a loop or just dumped into a pocket, they hardly load it down. Nothing bad to say about this belt, if you do this for a living or just want the best, this is the one to get.

The best nail bags ever!!! The leather is of the highest quality and durability. Well stitched and riveted in all the right places for many years of use. I seriously doubt that I will ever have to buy another set of bags. They are a little on the heavy side though.
