Occidental Leather 5520 5 in 1 Tool Holder

Not what the pouch was really intended for but it works for low voltage techs. Fits everything perfectly. This is the second one I buy because a coworker really liked my pouch and got them one too. It’s durable, looks good, and it’s pretty slick. The best part of it is that it doesn’t flop around. I did make the modification from where the hammer would go. I had it at first but I kept scratching up finished walls at job sites. I recommend this.

Love it

This is just what I needed. It’s well built out of thick leather. Thank you

The right combo of storage options in such a compact platform. Perfect for an Ironworker. You get what you paid for! Being someone that has hobby leather-crafted many years: the leather isn’t just some plastic texture ironed suede; it’s dense, good top grain, and rather thick! I pulled the plastic insert out because it really tapers down deep and I wanted a pair of ironworker pliers in that pocket, and they wouldn’t fully seat. A spud wrench fits and extends through nicely in the pocket with the attached beater loop, nicely. The wrench is a bit snug, but forced in, and left overnight stretches and forms the leather just fine.

I purchased the 5520 and 5523 for a lightweight and compact tool belt for general handyman work. This combo holds quite a few tools and allows me to keep a wide array of problem solvers close at hand without being too bulky. A bonus that I did not foresee is that my drivers fit in the hammer loop. So I have ordered a hammer loop to place in the center of my back to use when I am using a drill driver. The quality of these pouches is top notch. Fully loaded with a hammer and drill it’s a bit heavy for the belt I have, so I will upgrade to a 2 or 3 inch belt. But as it is I can wear it for hours and it doesn’t bother me. Very thick, well fastened leather. Made in America! This is an excellent combo for the handyman or homeowner who wants to keep some basic tools at hand when working on projects.

Good quality and strong. Hammer loop is actually useful. Ive yet to find a hammer it wont hold. Doesnt get in your way and looks good while doing it.

Looks good, fits on the belt perfectly, and has high quality leather!

As an update to my review from January 2017, (see additional pictures) this pouch is fantastic. after nearly a year of daily, heavy use in a busy steel shop, this pouch has held up wonderfully. the stitching is still as sturdy as ever and nothing has ripped, bent, deformed, or broken. This is by far one of the best purchases I have made. This pouch truly lives up to its name and the quality of its workmanship and construction have yet to disappoint me. In the shop we constantly brush against abrasive edges, are covered in showers of sparks, crawl and lay on rusty and dirty steel and this pouch takes it all like a champ. My every day kit includes a small wire brush, a heavy Estwing chipping hammer, welders pliers, and a wide chisel. All this weight has not taken a toll on this product. the only damage its suffered is cosmetic- which is only to be expected in such an environment. Again, I HIGHLY recommend this holder for anyone in the construction or steel industry. I work as a welder and have gotten tired of having to either use a bucket to keep my essentials close by or having to try and carry all of the tools with me on the pieces I weld. Often times I set tools down on bigger pieces such as beams or girders and lose track of them-wasting valuable time tracking down my tools. This holster is made in USA and is of excellent quality. Im very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it. The leather construction is druable and resistant to sparks and other hazards present in the welding environment that other Holsters, especially synthetic or nylon ones will not stand up to. All my essentials- chipping hammer, MIG pliers, soapstone, wire brush, scraper, cleaning brush, small slag pick, and striker can be carried on this making it easy to keep everything right at my side when I need it.

Its a very nice addition to a tool belt
