A Great Tool Belt
Just got the Milwaukee 49-17-0195 Tool Belt for Christmas. Moved all my tools from my old belt and have room for more. I do set builds for theatrical productions and the outer pockets will give me room for multiple screw lengths to all be at-hand. Super Convenient! 3 hammer holders is superfluous, but it definitely gives you a choice of where it will work best for you. Haven't found a use (yet) for the second tape holder either; but it is not in the way and I could see how if someone was going to switch the bags side-for-side how it would be useful. The speed-square pocket is perfectly positioned and now I don't have to dig past it in the large pouch like I did with my old belt. All my screwdrivers, knives, pliers, nail sets, chisels, pencils and sharpies have a place of their own with easy access to all. The cell phone pouch has enough room for my LG Voyager in it's Body Glove case which is great. Also got the Occidental Leather 5055 Stronghold Suspension System Suspenders to go with this, and together they make for an incredible rig. I'm one happy camper...

Where's the pencils slots?
Being a carpenter for 28 yrs now. My trusty pouch of 10 yrs has failed. Only need the left side but can't find same brand. Sure this system has alot of pouches but no place for pencils, nailsets or my knife. I'm right handed, so, my knife is on the right as are my pencils. No little slot for them on either pouch. And whats with all the hammer holsters. Also, whats with 2 tape slot holders. Never in my 28 yrs have I seen a carpenter use a tape slot to hold their tape. The clips break, I use a tape pouch, much easier to get in and out. So I'm returning it today and restart my search for a new pouch system.

Rigged out
Now this is what I call a tool belt. Lots of pockets. Heavy duty? You bet. I would recommend suspenders for this tool belt because it is a little weighty. I needed one to cary a variety of tools,nails and screws and this fit the bill.

Pockets Galore!
This tool belt is well built, sturdy and can carry a whole heck of a lot of stuff! I bought this for my husband and he loves it.

dissappointing
Ok first the good. These bags have lots of pockets for all your tools and fastners.
Now the bad.. the bags are tooo heavy, at least if your work every day using them fully tooled-up. The clips on the sides are completely useless (milwaukee.. what are you thinking???) The hardware appears cheap (only time will tell)The suspender attachments are crummy and dont stay in place when you strap they slip of before you can get buckled in.( they need velcro so they will not slip)

I image that because they are so heavy they will last awhile but try wearing them all day in the sun in 85 degree heat. You'll se what I mean!

In conclusion I would say these are great for the home owner weekend carpenter, but not for the professioanl by any means.
