Occidental Leather 9850 Adjust-to-Fit Fat

I like my bag

These are the best quality on the market for tradesmen. Definitely not the cheapest What’s not to love about made in USA? If you buy your tools at Home Depot these are not for you. These are for craftsman only.

Really is a great belt ... Compartment are deep one star off because it is all attached to the belt so you can not adjust the compartments so it stays where it sits on your waist

Best tool bags for framing

Ok

Again great quality material. Very stiff to adjust and not a lot of room for a Tape Holder. Its a lot of money to spend on an apron, but you get what you pay for. Im sure it will last quite a while.

Best rig I’ve had in years. Glad I decided to buy it!!

I have recently purchased these bags to replace my original set, which was brown but otherwise identical. The brown set were very good to me although I was not kind to them, although they held up well regardless. I am in the Drywall/Lathers union and as an early apprentice I mangled the canvas on the right with widowmaker and grinder sparks, the bags were all but brand new. I was worried I destroyed my expensive, new investment but they held up for 5 years after that. In fact, they could have gone years more even through the outer nylon was destroyed. After graduating the apprenticeship I wanted to treat myself with a new set in black and I have rocked the new set for a couple days, pleased as punch. This time around, I am not using the leather attachment on the right side to hold my screw gun because the tip of any shaft at that angle ends up poking ones self on the inner left thigh. So, I got a clip on attachment to the actual belt(not occidental brand, sorry) and it is working out great so far. I am using that attachment for its “intended purpose” to hold a “cell phone holder,” which I am not using to hold a phone but instead blades, router bits and a pack of Phillips bits. I love the system and there’s nothing about my current set up I’m not 100% happy with. I will say this though: leather WILL last longer than canvas but these canvas bags will last a really long time if not abused by, say, a dumb level one apprentice like I was. Even though leather lasts longer I would still get these again because leather belts conform to your hips, which is actually really not good for your hips. It’s not good to carry all that weight all the time regardless but the padded belt on this set up adds less strain on your body that leather. 10/10 recommend

Best tool bags out there.

Beautifully put together. Hand crafted. Foreman told me should be the last set Ill ever have to buy again
