Most people will sat occidental. I've never had one. I got this black one that had dewalt stitched onto it. (I removed it and the yellow that was on it lol) It's good enough for me I don't have my tool belt on that often so I really don't care that much.

I buy two rigs from Home Depot, I like a pouch on each. Here is a pic of the new one and the old one which lasted three years I think. It could keep going if I sewed it up where the belt loops through the pouches but I figured I would get new and keep it for a backup down the line.
If you can see I tacked the pouches to the padded back belt with nylon string line in the old version...
I sewed the new set with nylon thread all the way across the top to the padded back belt part. I plan on getting two "eyelits" on either side of the speed square so I can run a piece of wire coat hanger across it which keeps it from ever falling out....ever!! It is there in the old rig but hard to tell.
I need two outer pouches on each side. One outer pouch on either side drives me nuts!! One of these days I am gonna get with a local seamstress and build me a totally custom one.
I kinda laid everything out a little so you could see what I carry were. All tools on the right, all nails on the left.

Man for that kind of money I would be worried about putting anything in it and messing it up.Ninjaframer said:
