Occidental Tool Belt - LEATHER vs NYLON

[@toolrev]

One thing I forgot to mention is that the leather bags are quieter as they smoothly slide against your pant leg, where the nylon is louder and rougher. Especially against canvas work pants like Dickies, etc. Not a big deal but a difference.

[@おいmizuno]

You're a legend! No intro, no weird music, no distraction, no weird comments, straight to the point! Boom!

[@jessewyre929]

Agreed!

[@smvideonow]

That was a clear and concise review. To the point and no BS. No musical distraction or annoying voice. Keep it up and keep it simple!

[@StringDriver]

Great info. No rap music or stupid multiple camera angles. It’s true, once you are in the trades, you develop your own mojo for a belt. Great job.

[@JM-wy6sq]

I’ve had the leather bags for about 10 years and I absolutely love them. They mold right to your hips and your body absolutely recommend them.!!

[@metricdeep8856]

I have been looking at so many vids. This is top notch. Cheers and Thanks.

[@mindbogler1234512345]

I appreciate your in depth breakdown of the 2 bags comparison definitely worth the watch, you made the decision making process pretty easy for me anyway

[@derekdowling456]

I used the all leather Setup with suspenders for about 4 years. Had shoulder surgery last year and don’t wear suspenders anymore so I switched to the oxy light adjust a fit and boy is it way more comfortable! The leather is definitely cooler and likely will last longer, but the comfort level of the nylon adjust to fit just can’t be beat.

[@Livinoutdoors_]

Sorry to hear about the surgery. But did you have to get surgery due to the fact that you used the suspenders ?? I’m at the point where my bags sag a lot past my hips. I don’t have hips .. so it’s getting annoying. Thinking of getting either Occidental’s suspenders or the Occidental hip buddies , any tips ? Thanks

Great review straight to the point alot of KZbinrs could learn alot from you

[@zach9538]

Great review, really well explained and I like hearing the pros vs cons. Well done man. Also, first video I've seen from your channel but you got my sub.

[@toolrev]

Awesome, thank you!

[@astr0gaming801]

I had nylon bags they were great and light till they got wet (Canadian carpenter) they would fill with snow and extremely heavy and were rusting away any tools that would stay in the bag. Aswell as them ripping quite easily so i made the switch to leather and no rips and snow doesn't absorb into the bags nearly as easy so ill take the half pound of weight and get the extra durabilty

[@williamweatherall8333]

Great review. Totally agree about the high mount hammer holster.

[@hallowedbethygame2840]

[@northtrailadventure6054]

This was the most informed professional opinion I’ve heard, and it made my mind up, nylon wins

Can't go wrong with either. I've had my all leather set up for 5 years

Great presentation. Just got the 8080DB and look forward to many years of use. The material is very nice and sturdy and has many pockets.

[@pb7133]

As a carpenter I have gone where the money is, I know a lot of carpenters who have worked many years in the south with leather tool bags and have worked well for them. I have worked in places with lots of rain lots of snow and lots of heat. Leather gets very heavy and takes a long time to dry out when wet. Take in consideration if you work in wet environments.

[@nolanring2067]

Great review man!! Totally agree about the nylon outer pockets. I’ve watch this video a bunch of times👍🏻.

[@jimbok2492]

I've had the nylon bags on their vest for about 12 years. I tried the leather bags for about a month a couple years ago. Sold them to guybthat works for me.

[@amirabdulla6076]

What an outstanding review. How does the leather vs nylon hold up in the rain?

[@toolrev]

Never tried it. Would guess wet nylon stays lighter and dries faster.

[@Nykr]

Love it! great video

[@chrisgauer379]

With leather you can get tape holder riveted to fastener bag with speed square slot. I think they call that a RH bag. In leather/nylon, i couldnt find it in that configuration. So, i just drill rivets, cut stitching and remove small upper bag. Then re rivet tape holder where small upper bag was on fastener bag. Im right handed, so pencil on right, tape on left. I also rivet bags to belt so they wont slide on belt.

[@toolrev]

Thanks for the tip 👊

[@allenshamon442]

Exactly and i love that leather forms to my Tools. I just switched from a nylon tool belt to the occidental commercial electrician bags and the difference is night and day. I also find the all leather bags more comfortable

[@jclaytoncabral5106]

Excellent review, good sir.

[@Spoons7414]

I’m in love with my leathers and I’ll have a set for the rest of my life even if I have to replace the current set. I’ll probably also pick up an oxy set and some fat lips too though.

Thank you for the great video! Trying to decide between the 8580 fat lip nylon and the 5089 7 bag leather, if anyone else had experience with these 2 I'd like to hear your opinion, thanks :)

[@XxPackerManxX]

Not sure if you decided but, I own the two fat lip pouches and I love them.

[@2centsam927]

Nylon is great, however, if you work metal forms and from time to time use a acetylene torch the sparks can melt holes

[@prabhdeepdhahan1147]

Do you wear the suspenders?

[@marianomares911]

HELLO MY FRIEND A QUESTION WHERE I CAN GET THE BLACK NYLON BAGS PLEASE

[@toolrev]

Yes, my Amazon affiliate links are in the description.

[@xdiablox210]

Which would last longer??

[@toolrev]

My guess would be the leather, but I'd also guess you'll be able to hand either set off to your kid if you treat them decent. That said, the warranty is two years on both but leather owners are afforded an additional stitch and rivet repair service for life. Not sure if that service is free but it's listed under the warranty section so...

[@trevorantoine5586]

I had that exact set up with the nylon and I loved the lay out! But I hated when I took it off because all my tools would fall out and the pouch would fly off the belt! So I spent like 5 mins after break picking up my tools and reassemble my bags and suspenders on to the belt! 😔

[@lunygrim5653]

Just poke a whole thru it and put a zip tie or small wire thru the bag and belt. Just set it in place where the comfort is at. I thought it was bs too when they mention it’ll fly out lol. Until they told me to do that. And it’s been 2 yrs now and no problems

[@trevorantoine5586]

[@harbertmoore2663]

Who makes the nylon 🛍? How long did the nylon 🛍 last?

Both are Occidental. Use mine everyday, still like new and will probably last a lifetime but depends on the user. My last set was in great shape after years of use before it was stolen.

[@RaphaelNano]

Can’t wait for my FatLip to break in. Thanks for the video.

[@geraldpolmateer3255]

I have never had good success with nylon bags when I set them down. If I was not careful the nails would fall out. The leather tends to close and so the nails don't fall out.

[@popsikull836]

I hate the chalk pocket... It is getting on the way for reaching the big pouch.. i have a oxylight framer rig

[@toolrev]

Ya, I almost cut mine off on my first oxy framer. But once I got used to the flip it turned out to be a pretty versatile pouch. For some guys it's just in the way.

[@carpentryfirst3048]

I'm currently looking for someone to switch the chalk line a measuring tape pocket. Its been bothering me for a long time now.

[@DangerClose805]

The leather bags with chalk line holder is a pain in the butt and when a framing square is in its slot makes for grabbing nails a little more time consuming than with the fat lip bags

[@trimmasterld]

why would you wear hammer on back?

[@toolrev]

Helps keep longer framing hammers from slapping your leg and out of the way. The high mount loop in this vid is the only one that's worked well for me.

ToolRev right on ...thanks for video! ..will definitely get an occidental for my next belt I spend 100 a year or more at Home Depot on my pouches ...can’t wait until this belt craps our on me so I can get one which I’m sure won’t be much longer...
