TradeGear Part#SZA Electrician's Belt & Bag Combo - Heavy Duty Electricians Tool Belt Designed for Comfort & Durability - Ideal for All Electricians Tools - Fits Sizes S - L (26"-40")

I waited 18 months to write this review so I could speak to the biggest issues that a professional electrician considering this belt for daily use might want addressed. First of all, the build quality of the belt is very good. After 18 months of daily usage, I have no loose stitches or any spots where the pockets/canvas has worn though. The webbing belt itself may need to be replaced a some point as the grommets that get used all the time have started to get bent and elongated, but I consider this normal wear and tear and that's to be expected. It's nowhere near replacement yet, but I bet by the five year mark it'll be time. The belt is comfortable. I purchased the S-L size and have a 34 waist and the belt fits very well. I saw in one of the 1-star reviews the complaint that the belt was difficult to "break in". I did not find that to be the case at all. The padded back belt is very comfortable and the nylon webbing belt is pliable and snugs easily. The double row of grommets and double prongs make for a secure connection. I have worked with this belt on all day, up to five days a week, for 18 months and it has never given me any appreciable discomfort. I did have to adjust where the pouches land on my thighs (there is a 2-star review that notes this problem). Getting up and down a lot the front corner of the pouch would rub my thigh through my double wall Carharts and annoy the hell out of me, but I shifted the pouches back a bit and this stopped. As many other reviewers have stated, I feel the overall design of the belt is very good. The carry handles are great for carrying as well as hanging the belt from a hook. I don't wear suspenders often, but I keep the suspender rings on the belt and often use the front ones to hook a carabiner with my keys or my magnetizer to keep those at hand. The tape loop is nice. I like it better than the chain/tee style used on many other belts. I don't use the hammer loop, so I can't speak to it's function. See what others have to say on that one. As far as the pocket/pouch layout here's the thing: design is a touchy issue. It can be hard to assign stars objectively based on an opinion of the design. One person loves the size of the pouches, another says they are too large and the tools fall out. I found it just took time to arrange my tools properly and not just stick one pair of pliers in each pocket and go. Once I got all my tools in the places where I wanted them and got used to my layout, I can easily remove and replace the most used tools without even looking down. I do wish that there were some smaller, shallower pouches for small items, and I also agree that there could be better pencil/pen/marker holders on the "front" of the pouches. But, that being said, I really can't knock any stars off. The overall approach the designers of this product took to get it to this point was logical and the product functions well. For the end user, to each their own. Figure it out, or make your own tool belt...

Many things to Like about this Including: the velcro features & the HD back belt built into it, the two hole belt & two built in carry handles, the adjustability, the way I can use it for my No Cry drill holders, the overall quality of material & construction. I'm using it as a universal carpentry and electrical work belt. Seems like it will hold up for a very long time. The only thing I would improve is what seem to be a lack of Pencil holders with a closed bottom. The small ones ones on front of the bag (perhaps made for screw drivers?) have no bottom so I keep putting pencils in them, climb the ladder and then see them laying on the ground. I need to carry 3 markers to end up with one when I do elevated work. I would also suggest you get some padded suspenders after you load the thing up with heavy tools & hope to find something worthy of this tool belt.

I’ve been using these bags for about three months now, they’re doing a good job, they’re durable, they’re sturdy, and the pocket locations makes sense. I definitely recommend them. My only complaint after a couple months of use is that the grommets on the belt I have bent a little bit.

Wow. Just wow. I've had lots of tool belts over the years from hvac, lead cell tower technician, carpentry. This thing is awesome. As a residential electrician I have lots of tools to carry around and she holds them all and then some. Even with all my tools in it, she still fits in my Hart modular tool kit.

UPDATED REVIEW: the belt does fit! I am a smaller female about 5’ 2” and around 115 lbs. I saw the belt fit S - L. But when I tried it on it was too big. But what I didn’t know is that there’s Velcro on the back side of the belt that allows you to fold it over to make it smaller. The durability of the belt is great! I had a gatorback belt before this which is made from the same company and loved it but I believe it was meant for carpenters. The belt is great quality as far as I can see but will find out in the field after a while. I suggest this belt for not only most electricians, but females. Also apprentices. You can’t be the price for the quality!

Love these tool bags hard to find bags that can fit both my framing and electrical tools that I use on a daily basis! And the bags fit really well even on size 30 waist and very adjustable plus a good price point only flaw is they don’t last more then about 3 years especially if you use them daily like I do but at the price can’t complain on my second pair

I've been using these bags daily for a few months now and am glad I bought them. I'm more of a carpenter than electrician but do a bit of everything and these were a good bit cheaper than the similar carpenters bags. They hold a ton, have lots of pockets to separate things, and are super comfortable. They are a bit stiff still and the corners of the pouches are especially hard, so can occasionally cause a bit of discomfort when walking far, but I think they'll break in and last a long time

Comfort was pretty good but the usefulness of a work belt diminishes considerably once the tape measuring clip breaks. Broke outside of return window. Will not be purchasing any of their products again.

Very strong and light weight....I really liked this product, I wish supplier provide suspender with it and can charge extra..., and there is no drill pocket. But , its amazing product for electrician.
