Discuss Tool pouch - do you use them? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

No i just have the floppy pockets on the snickers trousers.
 
Ive got one but i end up with too much stuff in it and my pants around my knees, so now i just stuff all the crap into my floppy pockets and still end up with my pants around my knees. It does come in useful in the summer when i have shorts on though.
 
Tool pouch goes hand in hand with ...............AWG cable........... EMT conduit ............silly accents ...................even sillier socket outlets..........wives called Ellie May ....................even sillier upside down switches .................wanting to be part of a teamster gang .................every thing fixed with a nail gun .................wearing a silly hard hat in Mrs jones front room ......................did I mention the socket outlets..................Having to eat hamburgers for breakfast ...................sport a ponytail .........................and high five everyone when the light works, even if the switch is upside down .................and finally having to say ye'all every morning.

So no tool pouch for me.
 
Bought one a few years back. Never seem to need it. Always seemed to get in the way. When you kneel down the snips and drivers stick straight in your gut. Or worse! Got a leather 'builders' style one which is useful up ladders though.
 
I use a pouch all the time, my boss doesn't, he uses a tool box so he can carry more tools, I use the pouch and carry in it, non contact voltage tester, 2 flat + 2 philips screwdrivers, pen, pencil, small level, tape measure, electrical tapes, short & long noise pliers, voltage metre & strippers & cutters.

My boss always forgets where he puts his tools so ends up using mine if i'm with him, so I pick them up after he puts em down lol.

I like to have everything with me all the time thats common to my work.

Nice for when doing DB, all tools to hand and sleeving, and ladder work.

Got a Bahco electricians tool belt. Rarely wear the thing as it's too heavy but use it like a primary tool box with all the stuff i regularly use in it (screwdrivers, cutters, pliers, mini level, tin snips, tape, plasterboard saw, volt stick). If i ever need anything else i just get the item out my main tool box and sling it in a tool bag to save lugging around a 20 odd kilo box. Works a treat and i can sling the belt over my shoulder leaving my hands free for carrying 2 other boxes when i rock up on site.
 
have enough trouble keeping my jeans up over my fat gut without the extra weight pulling 'em down. got a b&q one which i hang on the steps now and then. prefer the CK waistcoat with all the pockets in.
 
Only use one when I'm up a ladder, and carrying to much in my pockets might result in something falling on someone, or something expensive!
