Dear Klein Tools...

[Vod-Vil]

I am a devoted consumer of your hand tools,but PLEASE,quit taking up precious supply house shelf space with these outmoded old man's tool pouches.SERIOUSLY!!!.Does anyone buy these things?

Me..but I'm an old man

I have had both of those, they worked just fine, but as time went along and I got more tools I got a bigger more expensive pouch.... the only thing I have to say bad about either of those pouches, is the white one is made from chrome tanned leather which can add to corrosion on steel tools, the brown leather is vegetable tanned which is less corrosive.

the brown one looks like my first tool pouch. it was made by general electric. anyone ever see a GE tool pouch?

Klein Leather is good....Occidental is the BEST!

I'm a "new school guy" that mixes "old school taste" with "new school", quality, comfort, and performance .......Anybody familiar with OCCIDENTAL LEATHER?

Heres a couple of bags that get an A+ in my book......As far as there leather products go ,they out do Klein in every category.....Also they have some pretty tricked out features to suit your arena, like belt less (awsome if you have a gut or where a buckle)

Here are a couple that I roll with and highly recommend! Made in USA,unparalleled quality, and the tool organization is great.

This is also cool for indoor commercial work, on a scissor lift, or a tight spot.....

I'll dig up a picture of my complete rig. I was never a fan of shoulder straps till I got some of the ones from OCCIDENTAL. I go with a beltless kit, the two bags above + a couple of accessories.

The cool thing about this one is you can clip your tape on as well as clip on bags and accessories.http://bestbelt.com/images/flash/2500.swf

sounds expensive

They can be a little pricey and are definitely for the dedicated professional........Although they are not as expensive as a bad back.....replacing inferior equipment.......:smile:

I like the tool vest I may get one, I checked and there is a dealer only 5 miles from home.

The vest looks nice and comfortable, but the tools may be a tad too high for my taste.

Those beltless ones look like they could be real hot during the summer. I will admit they are better than years of a tool belt.

 

[electricalperson]

only bad thing about my set up is that it soaks up the sweat like a sponge

 

[Rewire]

I don't work with my tools as much as I did but even then I did not carry everything in a pouch. Most of the time I knew what the job was for the day and I could get by with three or four hand tools. The small pouches worked great and all the other tools stayed in my bag.
