I own several products by Bucket Boss and find their quality of materials to be top notch. I am a handyman so I put these to the test.

I use this belt for my lighter work and when I am up on a ladder and need to be able to move around. I enjoy the ease of the clasp that this belt offers, it allows for easy on, and easy off application. The pockets are a little small but then again, I limit the tools I carry in this belt.

The one thing I do not like about this belt is the fact that you cannot carry a speed square in any of the pockets. Since a speed square is an invaluable tool for general work, this is a big pain. After my second time using this belt the clasp broke and I needed to return the item for an exchange, so far the second one has been working fine.

REVISED REVIEW The buckle slips every now and then when I first put it on and lets go. Also, some of the stitching is coming loose where the pocket attaches to the apron. I may end up bringing it back, again, and asking for a new one. Overall I really like this little belt but I am getting tired of the poor quality. I have downgraded my original rating by one star.

I bought this for my husband as a gift as he does lots of light repairs around the house. I knew he didn't need a huge, heavy-duty tool belt, so this one looked like the perfect place to put just a few basics. It fits around him well and he seems to enjoy wearing it. Now when he climbs up on the ladder to change security light bulbs or repair the gutters, I don't wring my hands for an hour as he balances a hammer and various tools in his jeans pockets. In fact, I think I've caught him "creating" a few tasks to complete around the house to do just so he can put on his tool belt! I don't care; I'm just glad to have a husband who is handy around the house!

I like this belt, it works for me. I agree it would be nice if there were a good way to hook a speed square or some other odd shaped tools. I've used it for 4 weekends so far.
