2004: I am a professional carpenter who just recieved the bucket boss mullet buster tool belt today. I have shopped around for a new one for a while and was drawn to this one for several reasons. The set up of the belt system is different from most others and the best set up for me (pockets position etc.) In New England, most of us buy Occedental leather belt systems but they have drawbacks of price (extemely expensive) and set ups are limited.
What I like now that I have the bucket boss belt in hand: What you get for the money is outstanding. The bags appear tough and well stiched. There are a ton of pockets and you can arrange the belt as you like. Lots of velcro to keep everything in place where you set it. tape pocket, hammer holster, big nail bags. excellent all around.
DRAW BACK: I am 5'9" tall and slim and the suspenders (another option I was looking for) are almost useless. At their tightest setting the bags still droop below where I would like them, I cannot use the suspenders. If you are a bigger guy (taller or with a belly for the suspenders to stretch over) this would likely not be a problem. But am am a regular sized person. The belt and inner belt pad were also HUGE and I had to cut them down to make them fit comfortably. I am not happy to have to cut up a brand new purchase to fit.
10/2009: Just an update, Ive had these bags since 2004, the right side bag has finally given out, that is a lot of abuse and use in 5 years and I am buying this set just for the two bags again. They are a tremendous value for the price compared to anything else available on the market, even for the bags alone. I ended up putting the two bags and the tape holder on my leather occidental belt, and that was a winning combo for me. Many will find the suspenders and belt useless due to their over size, but if you can use them, it is an even better deal. After using the bags for 5 years, I upgraded my star rating on these to a 4 out of 5 from a 3 out of 5.
