Is a Custom Tool Belt REALLY Worth It?

[@AkribisLeather]

Thx so much Mark! Such a well done video, I’m honoured to be so well represented🙏👊

[@RemarkableWoodworks]

Thanks for all that you do my man!

[@zacheiriksson]

Just ordered a set for myself. Too bad I start a remote job in 2 weeks and won't get to use them for the first month of the job lol

Como eu faco pra adquirir esses cinto p carpinteiro eu sou aqui do brasil

[@SpaceOfWaste]

I am 23 years old, been framing houses a couple years now and i just bought one of these set ups back in march, and i love it so much, easily the best tool i ever purchased and i know it will last me atleast 10 years probably 20 .. i love it soo much infact i am going to by another set up of bags so i can have a small set up with that small right hand diagonal hammer/ tape pouch and a L1 Mini on the left. thank you Luke if your seeing this

[@gul.b9277]

I know its been a while but how heavy is the setup and do you use suspender?

[@luke8952]

After watching your first video I decided to put a order in with Luke to replace my Occidental nylon belt. I went with the R1HD-Mini for my right, the LT2 for my left, the wide belt pad, suspender mounts, and the standard belt. So far I am loving the layout and I am very happy with my purchase, Cheers.

[@RemarkableWoodworks]

Awesome man!!! I’m happy to help. Not trying to sell anything just love the product

[@sebastiencollin1085]

Can you fit snip in the r1hd mini?

[@michaelboisvert7976]

greeting! can you write what to order to have exactly the same belt with the same accessories?

[@717UT]

For a self professed old guy, that setup honestly looks very heavy to me. However, I do appreciate how much customization you can achieve.

[@fredericriley8461]

Hi thank you for the info on your tool belt. I was wondering if the company call you to make sure the make the perfect disposition for your belt. thanks

[@tylerhicks1793]

Wicked video. Your original video was one of the deciding factors for me to purchase my original set up for Akribis. Since then I have purchased more bags. I have a full framing set up and a trim set it. Beautifully done!

This belt is 100% more my style, I don't usually do the suspender style. Might have to look into getting a lighter duty one made. Also some of those J-cuts in this video chefs kiss

Hahahaha thanks homie

[@benoitouellet5033]

Do they make bags oriented for left hand dominant?

[@ArpadBuildsThis]

I didn’t wear toolbelts, but now that I have this massive construction project that I’m currently working on, you may have convinced me to get a tool belt

[@RemarkableWoodworks]

If your in the Toronto area, you’re more than welcome to try mine out before you buy

hey I'm interested in buying suspenders but am on the smaller size do you think they would fit me at 5'9 140 pounds

Try to order my tool belt, early this month and was told that they are not shipping to New Zealand or Australia, because of Covid-19 ...which Zuks because I had the day off from work hoping that my order will get through!!!

@Jono I have my old 'Taurus' for sale only has about 10mths use, haven't put it on Trademe yet!

[@jackkuang9752]

Hi, Mark, I love your video, and thank you so much for sharing! I just have one question about the weight, so what do you think about the weight to compare to the other brands? Thx

[@nortonmeikle9422]

Would this set up be good for framing and building thts a real nice set up

[@RemarkableWoodworks]

I think it’s great for framing. I do more decks than framing but it hasn’t let me down yet

[@nortonmeikle9422]

Whts tht set up called and how can I get it

How heavy is it ? Compared to nylon tool belt ? I’m thinking about getting one..

[@davidaldape927]

Thanks Mark! You sold me on the Akribis Belt, I ordered it! Where did you order your hats from? Dope

[@laikershernandez]

hello I wanted to ask you how long it takes to send the tool bags

[@carlnardo]

Hows the weight. I do highrise formwork and rough framing on the side and my occidentals get heavy in the rain and snow. Tried going with nylon bags but I always prefered leather.

[@RemarkableWoodworks]

The weight is probably going to be the same as you OL. But I find the belt pad and suspenders to help A LOT.

[@carlnardo]

@@RemarkableWoodworks ok thanks for the info

[@leoncrandall2552]

I believe you'll notice the weight difference once the bags are wet. The leather akribis uses is treated waterproof leather like you'll find in waterproof work boots. I just saw a video where he soaked different leathers. The weight on his leather barely changed when soaked, compared to untreated leather which doubled in weight. Akribis also has the HR (high rise) series of bags. They have built in D-rings on the bag corners.

[@carlnardo]

@@leoncrandall2552 oh nice. Gonna take a look into the HR bags

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

Get a diamondback they are water resistant, lightweight, durable, made in America. The hammer holster is also worth getting diamondback

[@germanjimenez2175]

Do you find that your fasteners fall out of the side bags when you bend over or put the bag down?

[@germanjimenez2175]

@Remarkable woodworks

[@leoncrandall2552]

Awesome video Mark! These akribis belts are legit!! Your first video helped with my decision to try them. I couldn't be happier. I had plant to order a set of suspenders and a couple of accessories at the beginning of this month, to finish off my setup... I ended up with a full blown second setup with a bunch of accessories 😂🤣 Should arrive by Tuesday... feel like a kid waiting for Christmas

Really dig your videos Mark!!! As for the toolbelt, the Lmini, do you find opening the top large bag (The one with the loops inside) big enough to carry and access lets say 3" screws? Cheers!

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

God no! It was cringe, 🙄 I hate it when men demean and emasculate themselves. There's enough feminists out there doing that besides giving them a hand. I say grow some balls and be a man. It's your money, you went out there and busted your ass working in all weather's to earn it. If you want to spend it on a custom made tool belt so be it. Does she run her shoe and handbag purchases past you? A tool belt will make you money unlike all that useless crap that women buy. Men are producers, women are consumers. The man is always the prize, men need to start acting like the prize.
