It's put together like it will take some abuse. Like most tool belts, it needs a break-in period before it will conform to the shape of your tools.
Personally I would have liked the hammer hook on the right side - 1. because I am right handed, and 2. you run the risk of jabbing your hand on the pen/pencil as you slip the hammer in the holster. It also has a pocket for flashlights, but nothing bigger than a AA Mag-light will fit in it.
It's great for light duty around the house, especially if you need another set of hands, don't have a "gofer" or if have a curious little brat wanting to get into your toolbox while you are at work.

I use mine for temporary storage of this project's tools. It's easier to reach down and grab those pliers without looking than bending down to the floor, and I always can find my pen, box cutter, and tape. I didn't realize how much time I spent switching out tools or the aggravation it caused: if you don't get this one, get another. But you can't beat the price on this one.

I initially thought it was too small, but the pockets expand, and I've found that I can load it to where the belt becomes uncomfortable. It's not the most durable one in the store, but it quickly conformed to me, and for my weekend projects it should be more than sufficient.

In the picture, the sleeve with the cat's paw is less than useful, and - just like the hammer loop - probably will only fit your cat's paw. I tried cramming my combination square in mine but ended up constantly jabbing myself in the side. Also, I wish that the hammer loop were slightly smaller so that my maglite wouldn't fall through.

Except for being designed for you right-handed DIYers, this is a great product, a great value. Lefty
