ToughBuilt ClipTech Tool Belt System Review

[@robe5000]

I've had several different pouches for the belt for a few years. As a professional home owner, it's a dream system. I have a electrical bag, trim bag, framing bag, drill holster and a couple others that don't get used much. Love the system.

[@DoresoomReviews]

Agreed - this does seem like the perfect system for advanced DIYers to me.

[@robe5000]

@@DoresoomReviews here's a tip you may or may not know. Buy the tape holder on sale for $5-6. Grind the rivits off, now you can add clip tech to other things 👌

[@Gungho1a]

Aussie DIY'er here...after years of using cheap pre-configured belts, and shopping baskets to lug gear around, I picked up some Toughbuilt gear. Great move. Because DIY'ers have such a diverse range of jobs, having different bag setups able to be swapped in and out saves a lifetime of rooting around in tool cabinets and dark shed corners before every job.

[@destyrian]

As a telecommunications engineer who is up a pole one minute, then the side of a building or working underground the next, I can vouch for this stuff. I currently use the contractors pouch, extra large drill holster for my Milwaukee impact drill (as it has a really bulky shape), standard holster for screwdriver drill and the belt. I love how easy it is to switch the stuff up and love the stand. Haven't had to lug my toolbox around for ages now, which I'm thankful for.

[@Airn5475]

Smart move by ToughBilt to reach out. Limited KZbin reviews on this system. Your video has sold me on a future purchase. Would like to see a review of more of their stuff including a durability/abuse test of their pack out box.

[@joestrickland2525]

I mounted a piece of wood inside the cab of my truck and installed the clips to accept bags at end of day , what a great feeling to see what is there for the next day.And I just put the empty belt around the passenger seat,Love this.

[@adolphrivera3150]

I just bought these This pouch system is awesome Using an old belt till my toughbuilt belt comes in the mail I’m a Directv technician makes my job whole lot easier I have the contractors pouch able to fit all my tools in there

[@user-ru1cf3gy1d]

I am so glad to see other professionals out there using this! I have been using that tote for some time now! Any time I hire a new employee I buy them one of the totes and load it with tools to get them started. We call them our "go bags"

[@jasondonahue4747]

I'll call them whatever you want if you buy me one too.

[@aaronmcclain1279]

That's awesome more boss need to be more positive to there employees that's what make the employee want to do better . I know alot of guys my age at 35 years old have low work ethic . I have been in very skilled trade as machinist the more precise and better quality and more product with less deficit. I remember my boss gave me a scale which is 12" flexible ruler that's measurements are .020 of inch . It help me grow as employee and I collected a bunch of tools that I paid for out my bonus the tools where to help me and the company ..ever time my boss would ask to borrow a special tool . I would say boss you paid for them go right ahead ..I worked 10 years for that company .

Best review of the Cliptech system on KZbin. Great general overview and enough detail of individual pouches to really set the scene. Clean easy speaking dialogue too 👍 Just wish the prices in the UK weren't double what you guys get.

Great review. Originally dismissed this system when I saw it at Menards. Your review makes me take a second look.

Best tool belt system, one belt numerous configurations. Excellent Concept, well-engineered. Cheers from Michael, Australia.

[@THETIMINATORTHETOOLMAN]

I have a couple of the pouches and am pleased with them. I really like your review and honesty of what you liked and disliked

[@tylerhall71]

I love this system. I'm an apprentice electrician and one of my journeyman uses this system in conjunction with a milwaukee packout backpack, he uses the drill holster with a small electricians pouch and a random pouch for fasteners and whatnot. I ordered the belt, the drill holster, the supply pouch for wire nuts and staples, and the journeyman's electrician pouch as I do not have a separate bag to keep my tools in, so having all in one bag will be nice. Once I advance in the trade I may end up getting the tote or the master electricians pouch to house any additional tools I may end up getting, but for now the journeyman's will house all that I have with a few pockets left over.

[@MNCasaPro]

I really wish they'd sell the female clip component in 3 packs the way they sell the male clip component.

[@wim0104]

the clips thenselves also work great on regular belts (leather or the Klein 2" webbing-fabric), because the clips can open up and you can slip them in behind. And a clip system is great when doing service calls (jumping & out of the truck all day), or just going for lunch.

[@DoresoomReviews]

Awesome - thanks for the details on the Klein belt compatibility!

[@wim0104]

@@DoresoomReviews you're welcome; the 2" belt compatibility is a big deal for me

[@QUANTRELLBISHOP]

I did sheetmetal and we used a veto pro PAC bags and their the best but if you have to wear a tool belt this system would be great simply put when I did vinyl siding sometimes your in a dormer and you gotta lay down and take your belt off with this system I can just take the pouches off I'm gonna buy 1 if these this week I 7se a DeWalt belt now but I've seen these at Lowe's and I was a bit surprised at how durable their belts seemed and this system has sold me

[@Ugadog88]

Thank you for this review. Your review has been the best I’ve seen so far. I really appreciate it. After watching your video I really understood how this system works.

[@DoresoomReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carter9427]

As a general contractor/framer I’d say that the belt is alright. Had to warranty it because the stitching rips. The tougbuild suspenders are honestly pretty bad the clips break after about a few months of use for me. The clip system for the pouches is convenient to dump snow and sawdust out or to take pouches off when you don’t need them (I pretty much always need them) but I don’t think this is the reason you should buy the belt. Whenever you put the belt down it pretty much dumps half your tools/nails/screws out of it if you’re not careful. I’d give it a 6/10.

[@jeremycragg750]

Your video review sold me. Ordered today. Thanks for making the review.

[@DoresoomReviews]

Glad I could help!

[@Asuttnz]

This makes me feel better about using them haha I absolutely love the convenience! Except I don’t really run the belt and suspender I’ve matched the clip tech system with a atlas Saratoga tool vest and buckaroo tool belt, it’s insane 👌🏽

[@PhamVans]

That kickstand feature is genius.

[@ObiwanNekody]

Specialist Drill Holster Velcro pouch is great for holding a clip of rarely used insert bits and a pair of 2 1/2" bit holders. Lovely when you run into that one unexpected Robertson #1 someone put in an odd place.

[@nickmarket6164]

I saw this in lowes but I order the basic belt $13 (it had better reviews then the upgraded one ($20) from home depot online. It was cheaper then eBay and Amazon $15 basic 25 upgraded Crazy! Anyhow great video. I was looking for a comparison between the basic drill holster and and the upgraded one. All toughbuilt items are very reasonable so price is not an issue. I heard one review say the the upgraded holster little bag spilled the screws. Do a deep dive on those 😄 Thanks brother. 🙏get paid get paid. Still good review.

[@colingreen73]

I’ve have loads of this system. Like it a lot. Only complaint is how stiff the larger pockets are, it make you feel very wide. I’ve bolted a second clip to the other side of the tote. That way my left and right pouch can live on the tote and my belt has no tools directly on it.I can carry my tote in and workout of it or pop my belt on and my primary tools come off the tote and straight onto belt. A few tweaks and this could be an incredible system for a pro or a diyer. It’s the only reason I’ve not got a diamond back or similar is I would miss the detachable pouches.

[@DoresoomReviews]

Yeah, I have noticed I have to be a little careful when walking through narrow passageways with this tool belt on. Great idea for the second clip on the tote!

[@wim0104]

the clips also fit over any belt, leather or webbing, including a 2" Klein.

[@wim0104]

I also took the hub off their journeyman pouch and riveted it on my favorite; the AWP HP pouch. their journeyman pouch lives on, thanks to its kickstand, on my workbench.

Tough built is a good belt being young at 20 it makes my back hurt because of how heavy they are already right off the purchase add tools and boom more back pain

Back pain is no fun, I've definitely been there. I don't get any with this belt though - I guess it's different for each person.

[@ashleywallace5181]

Get you some suspenders or if you dont like that there are some good looking vests out there from diamondback and Occidental. Good luck.

Man I'm loving the denali 2.0. it's a bit big but the comfort is crazy. My old 40 dollar husky belt was decent but within 30 mins it would start causing me pain in my lower back and hip areas, kinda hard to describe but it sucked. Hell I'm only 32 so when I saw these I figured I had to check em out. Prolly the best tool in my collection, no joke 😆

I have some pouches and the larger tote (plus 4 of their great C700 sawhorses ) but I have struggled to find a pouch which will house my chisels and combination square.

[@ibrazeau3044]

Good review and nice bag system. I have three belts from Occidental (carpentry, electrical and drywall) as well as bunch of smaller pouches I've tried over the years. I always go back to my original three belts. All the other ones are unused and accumulating dust. I can appreciate a system like the Tough Built one and can certainly understand its attractiveness to a home homeowner or serious DIYer. I've had over 25 years of use on my carpenter setup and around 15 for my electrical and drywall ones. They are leather and are still in ok condition. I wonder how the tough built pouches and especially the belt would fare up on with 500+ nails, racks and all the required tools on daily use?

[@DoresoomReviews]

Yeah, as a DIYer it's awesome, but I can see wanting a dedicated system if you're in the trades. I've been using mine for about two years without any problems. They get use at least once a week on random projects. I figure it's only a matter of time before I break a clip, but that's much more preferable than breaking the bag's interface. I think they're designed to have the clip a little weaker since those are only a few bucks to replace.

Only thing I’m concerned about is the plastic hubs, I m imagining squeezing through somewhere narrow and then one wrong twist then the hub might snap off? I would buy it right away if the hubs aren’t weak but it’s my only concern

I haven't had any trouble with the hubs on mine. I think it's only $10 for 3 replacements if you do have one break.

[@tonyprovo7816]

I got a set and never liked them. Concept is brilliant. Unfortunately, the pouches stay open too much and climbing around, fasteners bounce out. Also, if the tools are short, they slide in the bottom of the bag. Short 4” shaft screwdrivers, razor knifes, etc end up dropping in the bottom.

[@DoresoomReviews]

That is true - they do trade easy access for less retention on things like fasteners. What tool belt did you end up finding that worked for you?

[@tonyprovo7816]

I had a nylon framers set that I went back to using. I wanted to like this system since we often need to wear a fall protection harness and I figured on getting extra clips for the harness and just snapping the pouches back and forth. Unfortunately the pouches themselves get a thumbs down from me.

[@DoresoomReviews]

The velcro is holding up well on mine so far, but you're right - it's less durable than a sturdy buckle. Luckily it's not the main load-bearing fastening mechanism of the belt, more to just hold it in place while you fasten the quick release buckle. I've seen them at Lowe's and Menards if anyone wants some hands-on evaluation before buying.
