One of the best break downs I've seen. Thanks for this, I'm currently Frankensteining my tool belt together now. Thanks for the really informative video
there was a nice stiletto hammer in the video. Not exactly on the cheap end. I tell guys Get what you can afford. And it up to you later on if want to have nice things or not.
Mine is set up almost identically. The only difference is that I keep my chisel and level on the left side because I most often use them with my left hand, and my 6 in 1 is on the right side. I also have a little mini plainer on my right side, and a punch on the left for countersinking nails in my old ass house. I also have one of those screw gun holsters. Mind you, I used to do this as side work for a couple contractors, but now I'm just an at-home DIY guy. So it doesn't get used as often, And that screw gun is the most used item, so I like to keep it close and have it easy to grab.
I like the toughbuilt belt a lot and use it with other pouches. I was using straight Kuny's with the Toughbuilt belt but now I've got Occidental Pouches on it. My current belt has parts from at least 5 brands.
I’m going to tell you boys stay where you are,you guys are all happy and full of life. Carpenters here in California are miserable and beat down I wouldn’t say mean but grumpy , it’s all the house flipping jobs that eat ur soul away here. Working on old existing homes tying in everything new into old termited rotten wood unleveled out of plum walls wears u down over time. Fresh new builds are a rarity and a gift for god so you don’t kill your self , everything goes so smoothly with a new build no stress almost relaxing id say. Anyway I had a cheap lows tool belt when I first started out 15 year’s ago it only lasted 2yrs just barely then I got a second hand gator back belt it was nice but used then I finally got a occidental bags and that was it no going back after that. I still have the original belt but I have replaced the bags once each after the years holes are going to happen and just keep getting bigger till tools started to fall out.
I’m not sure if it shows up in a video, but primarily we use them for trim, such as extension jambs where it provides a positive stop rather than the loose end of a tape measure
I'm right handed. That's why my tape is on the left side... I write with my right hand... Every time you pull your the out you put it in your left hand??
No notebooks? The Aussie Buckaroo leather company makes a tubular hammer holster, which does a lot to stop you getting cracked by the handle...can be difficult with stilleto hammers with the curved rubber bit, but a couple of loops of tape can fix that.
He talks about being efficient but carries his chisel and cat paw on the same side as his hammer and his six in one who most people use with their dominant hand on his off side 😂
Yep, for sure its all about the tool belt. lol Every body fall in over here for a tool belt check. And dont be caught cheating by not having every tool you own in your belt at all times.

Great video guys! I didn't learn anything but you cats look fun to work with.
In a world of occidental, badger and diamondback reviews, it’s nice to see a pro’s take on the more affordable box store set ups

Great video guys. Thanks for sharing.
the toughbuilt stuff isnt a monstrosity its awesome and super modular
I’m interested to see what/how modern carpenters use folding rulers. Have you done a video of where you use them?

That’s a great “studio”! 😉
For swinging hammers... look into magnetic retention, or a holster.

You guys must be in Wisconsin. Rib Mountain area?
Try Atlas 46 (Made in USA) or Diamondback.

Boys got a $300 hammer hanging on a $30 belt, and saying its cause im poor
$30 belt? I live in Canada and that belt is $150
The audio was fine until the the last person started speaking.

Only thing that I can see was a Mount of garbage
