The extra wide belt and suspenders combined to relieve so much starin on my lower back and hips
Looks good we will see how it holds up
I've tried quite a few electrical tool bags. Klein, milwaukee, Veto, occidental, diamondback, and boulder bags (twice). I came back and ordered another set of these recently after selling my old ones 4 years ago. After all the money and time I've spent with other bags, I think I have a pretty good idea about what makes a good toolbelt.
Personally, I prefer a leather tool belt, with nylon pouches, so I haven't tried the new wider belt offered by boulder bags. However, I have seen one and it will have the same problem as the model I used to own. Velcro is used to keep the pouches from sagging on the belt, after a few years the velcro will wear out and the pouches will droop down. Not the end of the world, they won't fall off, but it is less comfortable. I use an occidental leather belt and matching suspenders to avoid this. And the leather belt Is a bit cooler in the summer too.
But as for the pouches, I don't think you can find better -IF- your hands are glove size large or smaller. If you wear an xl size glove or bigger, the openings on quad pocket material pouch will probably be too small for you. The non-dominant/material pouch made by boulder bags is the best I've ever used hands down. I love the organization offered by the 4 pockets, and the wide horizontal pouch on top. It can get crowded if you need to fill up on 1" fittings, but for nearly all tasks it's great. Not perfect though. I would like to see another pliers pocket to mirror the one that comes attached, and I would like to see more clip on attachments sold by boulder bags. The pouch has a small piece of webbing on the front and back to accomodate for modular use, but Currently boulder bags only sells additional sacks that clip on to the webbing. I think If they also sold clip on; admin pouches, metal tape measure clips, or tool loops, it would really help people customize their belt how they need it. But even as it stands, it's a great product.
As for the tool/dominant side I have a few more nitpicks, but it is still a good pouch with a great pocket layout. Personally I think it rides too high on the belt and grabbing a tool from the back of this pouch makes you stretch for it. I would like for the 'neck' of the pouch to be increased/lowered down by an inch or two. And lastly i would really like to see the pockets on the interior of the pouch be made of either a colored fabric, (like they are on the outside of the pouch) or stitched in colored thread. When you go to put a tool back, it's really hard to see where the pockets are unless you're in a brightly lit area. As an electrician, we are often not in brightly lit areas lol
Overall, not perfect, but pretty dang close, and even though they are lightweight these bags will last a decade, easy. I know multiple people with 10+ years with these.
First off, I'm very happy with the overall quality of the bag!!! But I have now ordered 2 things using their online waist sizing chart, and both times, the belts are too big. Order one size smaller to ensure proper adjustable fit. I am a 31" waist, so i ordered a Medium belt. I have the bag on the tightest setting hole, and it is still a little loose. the size chart is 4-5" off. PIctured is actual fit for belt. it fits a little loose on that setting.
I ordered my boulder bags and got sent the wrong ones and im still waiting for refund due to the fact that the ones i wanted aren't in stock and had to look eles where.
Bought this for the hubs and he is finally getting to try it out today while we renovate our garage. So far so good!
I have been carrying this on my right side as my tool pouch for over 20 years. Pouch usually last 6-7 years so cost is less than $10 a year. I carry it climbing walls and building elevator cores. 10 stars.
Boulder bags are absolutely the most comfortable most efficient and most durable. I've tried other brands. They fail by comparison Boulder bags are bags for me
My husband has been an electric for almost 10 years. Only comfort belt and suspenders we have found that keep his back from hurting
I ordered the snap on belt accessory for my new belt and you guys gave me the belt with the holes.
This is the best tool belt I’ve bought yet. I’ve been through 8 tool belts every 2 or 3 years.
My husband really enjoys the quality of these products and anytime we've had an issue custMy husband really enjoys the quality of these products and anytime we've had an issue customer service has always been great!omer service has always been great!
I had this pouch in the past and used it for yeeeaaars until it completely fell apart (got my moneys worth) so I am excited to have a new one for many years to come.
I bought a set of Boulder Bags, I think it was in the late 90s, does that sound right? And I’ve never used anything else. They stay tight to the body, pouches stay open and firm, super comfortable, I’ve had the same set up for years. Never buying anything else. Don’t even think twice about it, buy them! And the customer service has always been just great!
I was skeptical when I bought this bag, but then when I put my tools in it and went to work, everything that I needed day in and day out was right there. I handed received so many compliments from other trades, starting that they like how nice and organized it is!
The belt is super comfortable.
The materials are definitely high quality, and I know this is going to be a tool system that I will be able to use for years to come.
I have been using variations of this belt for 20+ years. I wouldn't use anything else.
I was looking for an American made belt and boulder bags caught my eye. I wanted a custom set up and their customer service helped me through the process and got me exactly what I wanted. Great company. Would recommend highly.
I love my belt, it’s easy to wear all day and has plenty of pockets and loops to hold my stuff. The shoulder straps feel great but are too long for me (5’6) otherwise great product.
This is my favorite pouch. Holds everything and more
The spot on the front of the pouch does not fit a regular folding knife(Klein/Milwaukee). Otherwise, perfect.
The primary issue I have with this product is that I cannot get a snug/secure fit, which is significant. My waist size is 32-33, the Medium belt description states 28-32. Yet, as short as I can make the belt, it is still too loose. The velcro alone holds secure the belt to body, but the velcro strap has to be folded back because it is too long.. Wish I could exchange for the Small.
Well constructed and comfortable to wear; holds everything I need and then some
Been using these for years and are the only ones I'd ever recommend. Thanks for the great product!!
So far I love my Ultimate Carpenter Max comfort combo triple tool belt. Make sure to get the suspenders!
