well worth the money the material is very tough and plenty of pockets,only complaint is that I have a 32 waist and the belt does not tighten enough. Dave C.

I do construction full time, and this is the nicest belt I have found. It isnt even expensive. It has more decent sized nail pockets than any others. Doing remodel work I often need to carry around a few different kinds of fasteners, so it is nice to have the extra pockets. The one thing I would change about it is that it doesnt have any pencil holders on the big bags, just on the tape holder. I had mine stolen while working on an apartment building, and I have used my old belt for a couple months while I tried to find a belt better than this one. There isn't any though. I am buying another Milwaukee 49-17-0190

I got this tool belt as a freebie for buying the Milwaukee tilt-lok circular saw and I am here to say that it is one quality product. I cannot imagine a job where the tools and supplies I needed to complete the work could not be held somewhere in the 33 pockets on this belt. The ripstop material is tough and impervious to water. The belt is comfortable even when the poches are loaded, and easily adjusts to nearly any waist size.

Bottom line: this is one excellent tool belt that holds ALOT of tools and supplies.

These are very good professional tool bags. All the pockets are well thought out for your typical carpentry needs. I prefer my hammers on the side and tape in the back, so this was just what I was looking for. I wear them forty hours a week, and I've been happy so far. The one problem I've had is the belt isn't quiet small enought if you have a 32 inch waist. I had to punch new holes, and am right on the end, so hopefully it won't stretch any more.

Much has been said positive which I mostly agree with but the loops for the suspenders do not work properly as designed. They easliy slide around causing poor fit and when you take the belt off the right end will slide off along with the bag[I wear rigs with the bags towards the side rear]. I have fixed the issue by not using the metal holes and flipping upside down so a clip on suspender can tightly pinch the loop on top of the belt and prevent it from sliding , holds the bags in place and is an easy fix , costs nothing, and now you have 4 metal attaching holes for other uses on the belt.
I prefer my CLC and DeWalt rigs as the nylon is thicker and under-supports are better, but cost much more , no where the under $30 price of this. They also have Velcro on the belt and system pieces to lock the position of the bags, etc. I use this Milwaukee rig for lighter use.

Excellent belt. Has lots of capacity and functionality for all kinds of tools. Outside pouches have flat bottoms that facilitate the retrieval of nails and other small items. The covered pocket for a cell phone keeps it protected and prevents it from getting lost. Speaking of lost, the front pocket for a box cutter needs to have a closed bottom. I put one in there and it slipped out. The tool belt capacity can result in a lot of weight. It has suspender clips and I recommend purchase of suspenders, especially if you have a small waist.

Skeptical about price, but it is one great toolbelt. Worn daily, fits great, pocket for everything, GREAT PRICE!!! :)

Bought this to replace an ailing no-name suede tool pouch. Initially it was pretty good but I noticed some of the stitching was starting to pull out from where the lower pouch was sewn on to the main bag. This was after only about three steady weeks of use doing framing repair and roofing. Tons of pockets and places to put ALL your tools and nails. Nice rig but doesn't seem very heavy duty. Bummer this didnt work out and I'm glad I didnt toss my old rig...
EDIT #2
Well, I exchanged it for another. Arrived very quickly. Went over all the stitching, yanking on stuff to see if it was worthy and it seems like it is. If the stitching fails again at the pockets I will take it to a shoemaker and have the corners riveted. Seems like its a detail that should be there already as the hammer loops are secured that way. Anyways, the rig is nice, has plenty of storage and seems thought through. Itsa keeper.
Edit #3
Stitching has stayed in on the pockets. I noticed that the price has gone up from the $30 w/free shipping I spent on it.

Good construction. Only complaint is the length of the belt, could fit me twice over.

We couldn't be happier with this belt. We scoured stores looking for the perfect belt and this fit the bill at a fraction of the cost in stores. It's extremely high quality and has held up to a lot of heavy construction over the past 6 months with no signs of wear.
