Gatorback B145 Carpenter & Framer Triple Tool Belt Combo, Extra Large

Excellent quality! More rigid and more durable fabric than most of the "big name" ones that cost as much or more, and the back support/padding is wonderful. Being able to get the right size of belt makes all the difference. Most other companies "one size fits most" approach where you fold the pad under and just deal with it makes it much less comfortable. I measured my waist with just a t shirt and was at 32" (I wear my tool belts just above my pant belt) so I went with the medium. Turns out it was barely too big. I emailed the seller and they had an email back in 30 minutes and the small belt shipped the next day. Looking at the size chart, I was worried that the small wouldn't be big enough but they explained the belt would be about 4" shorter. The small that arrived was 3 1/4" shorter and fits perfect. With no extra layers I have one set of belt holes more I could tighten if needed and plenty larger to layer up. If you are in between sizes just email them and they will help out. Having them offer to exchange the belt at no cost if needed really made me comfortable with a large purchase even though I didn't have a retail store close to try them on. The only improvement I would recommend is the Velcro placement on the belt pad/bags. This seems to be a problem with many other manufacturers also. There is a 1 1/2" strip of hook on the pad and a 2" strip of loop on the bags, but they don't line up correctly when the weight of the bags are pulling down. The belt stays centered on the pad due to the loops (which is great...it doesn't sag) but you end up with only 1/2" of connection for the Velcro. If you lift the bag up in the middle of the Velcro, I feel it will start creeping down since the belt is not touching the top of the channel in the bag. Again, most other belt/bag manufacturers seem to also have this so it is not a huge deal, just a recommendation to improve. I will likely just sew another strip of loop on the bags. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and the great customer service.

Purchased this Belt and Bag set when I had finally, out grown my last one. This was a big upgrade from my last tool belt and this kit in particular, has more than I needed! That being said, the tool belts system is tough, well designed, and I have an extra bag to add if and when I need it! The velcro belt strap is an awesome feature that makes throwing on the belt easy, and comfortable!I'm a project manager and contractor for a smaller remodel/building company in the Denver area. What tools I carry and what job I'm performing changes almost weekly. This belt has more than ample tool space for any and all the tools I need for the job!Additionally, Gatorback's customer service was outstanding! I had a small sizing problem when I first ordered the belt. They went above and beyond to get me into the right belt size!Great beltGreat Customer ServiceWill be recommending to friends and colleagues

Carpenter/tradesman for 20 years here, never leave reviews but... have to give a 5 star for this! (would leave a 6 star or 10 star rating if I could). Hands down best tool belt I've ever had, thoughtfully designed with internal pocket layout, comfortable, durable, and generally fantastic.Also had a sizing question and customer service was absolutely spectacular!Don't hesitate, buy this belt!

The product seems to be nicely made, and everything they say about the pouches works out nicely holds so many tools. The only problem is there sizing people said it’s off of pant size. But it does not. I got a bigger size than I needed thinking and it is not off of pant size. It’s off of their own measurements, but good product. I’m still using it and it’s very comfortable worth the money.

What can I say, my husband loves it, and I love watching him wear it. I bought it in a size XL. I took measurement and that was the size recommended for his measurements. It wasn’t quite as snug as he would have liked, with the added weight of the tools it would have caused the dreaded ‘plumbers crack’. We live close to where these are made so instead of exchanging through the mail he just drove down and swapped out sizes in person. He didn’t want to let it out of his sight after he got his hands on it, not even for an exchange. He says it’s comfortable to wear, very durable, the pockets on it can be moved around so he can put the tools exactly where he wants to reach for them. The pouches are a good size, he kept saying how the whole belt just really makes sense the way the whole thing is put together and that it’s the best tool belt he’s ever had. Even I was impressed with how well built this belt is.

I have nothing negative to say about this product. The quality of the materials, the stitching that holds everything together and the comfort of the belt is all best of quality. I'm beyond pleased with my order. The pockets are great sizes and hold their shape, which makes for easy access to all of my tools, the belt with the back support is very comfortable for all day wear and use, and the extra storage places are very convenient. I've already recommended this belt to a couple of the guys I work with.Their customer service was amazing as well. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong size. When I called their customer service, they were quick to answer the call, helped me directly, and shipped out the correct size belt same day. I received a tracking number and confirmation email in less than an hour. They are even covering the return shipping of the wrong belt, even though it was my mistake. I really could have asked for more.If you're looking for a high quality tool belt that has more than enough pockets and will last you years of heavy duty use, this is it. Don't even bother looking further. I wish there was a way to give them 10 stars, because I would.

good belt. nice deep pockets.

If used this pouch for almost two yrs now and I really like it. Lots of pockets and space for bits and fasteners. It’s comfortable and well made.Would recommend buying the suspenders with the pouch it’s quite nice.

Stands up very well to contractor abuse. Disperses the weight perfectly. I love NOT having a sore back and hips at the end of the day

Great sturdy and comfy belt, but I must say is bulkier than what the pictures make it look like. Perfect framing belt, but not so much for an everyday jack-of-all-trades type of guy that goes in and out of suites all day. -Maybe should've gone with the electrician belt instead- Or expect some rubbing on tight hallways (or freshly painted stairways fml) for example as you suddenly gain a foot + of body width, and I'm already a pretty small size waisted cat (32"). For that reason I contemplated re-sale or return but it's actually so handy and comfy, I just walk with caution. Suspenders are a must-have with this belt in my case. I bought a Klein set of suspenders on Amazon to go with this belt (because I thought the Gatorback was overly priced). The Klein works perfect with it and also comfy, one size fits most (Im 5'10" and room to adjust even tighter or much longer.One more thing is (with all belts I've been looking at also), I wish the hammer loop was positioned on the front right pocket (instead of back right) but I'll get used to it I think. The back one I'll never use but I guess you could reconfigure the pockets and attachments almost however you please.Sorry to Gatorback to be such a tough critic but it is a very expensive item and I wished somebody had wrote this kind of review before I bought it.Overall though I must say it is a high quality product and I am happy with it.
