The standard padded belt that comes with it seems to fall short on providing padding far enough around the waist. I agree that Dewalt must have gotten almost no input from someone in the field before making these pouches. Tools spill out when you set the rig down, and overall, they lack some important features. Dewalt is trying to leave the configuration of these pouches versatile enough for right handed or left handed user. Hence the four hammer loops (one on the front and the back or each pouch) as well as the pocket for the razor that is also on each pouch. The photo they put out with this belt shows some guy loaded down with tools, including a razor knife on his rear left side. Even if he is left handed that is the absolute weirdest and most ridiculous place anyone whos ever had to reach for a razor would put it. I took advantage of this spot to make my own cats paw holder. (something else this rig has no place for) out of it by cutting the bottom out of that spot with (oh the irony) a razor blade, and cutting off the hammer loop below it!!! It doesnt make this rig perfect, but add an eight dollar pair of suspenders to it, and you may get a little more use out of it as I know they are not cheap. Dewalt should be ashamed of itself for putting out such crap!

I am really impressed with this brand new DeWalt item! Other tool belts that I have looked at in local tool stores either have low-quality leather, or the rivets are lousy. DeWalt has taken the time to engineer this tool belt for the serious contractor, who will be using it every day. It's going to last a lot longer than my suede leather belt that I bought at the local lumberyard!

Massive, awesomely massive. This thing has more storage than most people will ever need. I took all the tools from my overflowing toolbelt and placed them in the DeWalt. The DeWalt still had about 50% of it storage space left. Not to mention, there are loops and other things that you can use to tie even more stuff to it. Also, the quality seems to be above the normal, but won't be able to tell for sure until after using it for a year or so. As of now, the only problem with it is that I think it is possible to put so much in it, that you'll probably fall to your knees when putting it on!

This bag is well built but that is where it stops, they obviously never asked a contractor for input. It will hold a lot of pencils for that is about all that will go into the extra pockets. They are not big enough for any tools such as a cat paw or for that matter my carpenter knife will not fix into the pouch that it was intended for. Dewalt just plain did no home work on this.

SOME POCKETS TOO SMALL,FASTENERS CAN HIDE IN THE ROLL,NO PLACE FOR CATS PAW(NAIL PULLER),WHEN YOU SET IT DOWN IT TURNS ON IT`S SIDE SO EVERYTHING FALLS OUT.POUCHES SLIP BEHINDYOU.YOUR ALWAYS CHASING YOUR STUFF. BEEN IN CONSTRUCTION FOR 30 YEARS.WITHOUT A DOUBT,THE WORST RIG I HAVE EVER OWNED. OCCIDENTAL LEATHER MAKES A MUCH BETTER ONE. WISH SOMEONE HADEN`T STOLEN MINE.

Simply put, this thing is to bulky to move around with. Total waste of money.

I've been in construction for 12 years and am still looking for a tool belt that has what I need. I thought I found it when I purchased the DeWalt D5101. However, the pockets are undersized. Having to work with gloves on, these pockets made it difficult to get fasteners and difficult to house a 35' tape. In addition to being too small, the individual pockets for hand tools seem to sit too high and make tools prone to falling out or getting hung up on things. I hope to find what I need soon.

Holes in the pockets after only a year of use.
Too bulky for indoor use.
Way way way too heavy.
Not a very good layout.

Holes in the pockets after six months. Too bulky, not really good for indoor use. Way too heavy.
