I use a very small tool pouch from Lowes along with a tool caddy. Obviously I have different tools in it then the picture shows. :D

Ive been walking the tightrope with that lately. I bought my nylon pouch 7 years ago and its really starting to fall apart as is the belt. I was thinking about a leather one but I dont feel like going through the "one year break in period". Every other nylon pouch is just a little to big for my taste. Mine is the perfect size but its starting to get holes in the bottom and the edges are frayed. You bucket guys amaze me lugging that big "Boombatz" around all day, bending over every second.

Maybe it's just me, but every pair of jeans I buy come with built in tool pouches sewn onto the back area.

They also come in handy for holding wallets and things during off work hours. :D

The Klein 5166 or the Ideal equivelant gets my vote.......Leather all the way. Tried a Boulder Bag but it felt like a suitcase on my hip.

Thanks for the feedback, I`m leanin towards what I`ve used in the past, leather, lasts a long time. I never had a nylon pouch before, was just wonderin if I was missing out on something new and better.

Been using a Klein #5127T for 20+ years. I've added a few leather loops to the inside back of the pouch to hold screwdrivers in place with a few rivets.
