Thank God somebody finally designed a drill holster that actually WORKS!!!

This is the first one I've ever used that: 1. held my drill securely even while I was climbing ladders and scrunched up in all sorts of excruciating positions (my Craftsman holster let the drill slip out as soon as I walked fast!), 2. never once ever caused the drill bit to catch my pant legs, and 3. is not difficult to pull out or put in the drill.

Other bonuses: really thoughtful design, plenty of pockets for driver bits, even a nice hammer loop, nylon material is light yet strong and doesn't stain your pants unlike some allegedly "top grain" leather holsters.

God bless you, Dewalt!

A well-designed piece of equipment for anyone who ever carries a cordless drill on the job. It keeps the tool securely held and readily available for use. The pouch angles the drill or driver bits away from the wearer's leg, so they don't catch or poke while climbing or moving around. It can be worn either right or left-handed with equal convenience and access to the tool.

I love Dewalt tools. This is one durable puppy. I found its very useful when i'm climbing a ledder or some scoffolding. I don't have to worry about carrying my drill too. If you don't need your drill it is also useful for storing large items that you need. I've used mine to put door shims in many a time. All in all a great investment.

Amazon put up the wrong picture on this drill holster since there is a 4 bit holder on the side, which is quite useful. This item works as advertised, however it would be great if it had a small pocket on the side with the bit holder on top of that to hold extra bits. Overall a very good product

This holster has been very handy. I have been building a deck and being able to holster my drill while on a ladder has been a great convenience. I don't have to worry about dropping it and I always know where it is. It has a decent clip to strap it in. I actually haven't had to use this at all. When it is unstrapped velcro holds it up out of the way. I think this is a very thoughtful feature to have added. There are loops on the front to hold extra bits. I have used that a lot as well. The bottom is open so you can holster your drill no matter what you have chucked. I have holstered it with drill bits, deep well sockets, very long cable installer drill bits, and screwdriver bits. The drill sits firmly in the holster every time. If you do holster your drill you may want to consider some suspenders. It does add a good bit of weight to your belt.

This holster works well for a mid sized to large drill. I would not use it for a drill/driver smaller than theBosch PS20-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver with 2 Batteries and while it will hold a large drill/driver like the Bosch 17618-01 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Brute Tough Litheon Hammer Drill/Driver with 2 Fat Batteriesyou can not leave the side handle attached which pretty much makes it unusable for the small hammer drills. I had no problems with a bit hitting my leg and the hold down strap is convenient and is held out of the way by Velcro. Over all a very good design.

Quality is excellent and durability should be outstanding. The four bit holders are OK for medium drill or driver bits but not for large or small and they could be more generous with the storage on this holster.

If you use this for a drill or driver of the size it is intended for you need a 3 to 4" wide heavy belt (well Duh) preferably a suspenders rig. It will work easily right or left handed but is better cross draw.

What I missed in the picture is that the belt loop is a good 6" wide and can't be used with many kinds of utility pants without skipping belt loops. As I use "tradesman's" pants this makes the holster of very limited use for me. But one of the other guys is talking a trade.

The drill holster works great when on a ladder and you need a place to put your drill so it stays within reach. Rugged and made well. Amazon has these at a good price too.

Like all dewalt products, the expectation of quality preceeds this one. Technically I did not buy it, but it was included on a drill purchase I made a while back so as a freebie it wasn't a bad deal at all. I would pay for it at the price it is being sold at *IS* reasonable for a quality drill holder.

There is a snap that goes over the drill when not using it all the time and holds your drill in place so it doesn't fly out going up and down ladders. You'll appreciate that feature since your drill and battery don't dropp down two flights of stairs or off the second story roof.

As of yet I haven't included it on my belt which is on the wide side - my only concern is if a 2.5" web belt will go through it, but it looks ok so far.

I think dewalt or amazon is giving these away with any drill purchase or any kit with a drill in it. Be sure to find the code, then "buy" the holster, then enter the secret code and the price of the holster is deducted from your order automatically. I admit its wierd because you have to buy it to get it credited back but it works this way only. No
shipping is added on for it either.

It probably fits more than dewalt tools but all mine are dewalt.

Enjoy!

I have found this piece of equiptment indespensable on the job. I can carry my drill up a ladder or scaffolding and have it handy at all times. The nylon is also very durable. A product worthy of the DeWalt name.

This holster did a very good job holding my large 18 volt Ryobi Model P220 hammer drill. The huge battery nicely counterbalanced the drill in the pouch, making the drill handle easy to reach. However, this holster doesn't work so well for the new, more compact 18 volt DEWALT DCD970KL hammer drill. The smaller, much lighter format of the Li-Ion battery is a welcome change, but this new drill doesn't fit the pouch well. The drill snuggles in tight, making it a pain to pull out.
