Hi all,

here's my take on an all American product I really love - the Occidental Leather 5520 5-in-1 Tool Holder.

I'm overweight. This means that adding additional bulk mostly gets me pretty unhappy fast, + I rarely need pouches for nails/screws/other consumables.

But what I do like to minimize is having to bend down for tools, especially when working in a place where I can't put all my tools in an easy to reach place for whatever reason. Additionally I have tools, like the Jokari Cable Knife (that comes in very, very handy when you have to remove long, long parts of insulation from high mm^2 diameter cable for in-wall or outdoor use) that is very bulky, has no sheath and obviously the utility blade is pretty easily damaged.

Here comes the Occidental Leather 5520 5-in-1 Tool Holder to the rescue. The large "Oxi Tool Shield" compartment easily takes my Jokari Cable Knife and an additional small slotted (or any other small) screwdriver. A carpenters pencil (My favorite is the Stryker), another large Screwdriver and of course a Hammer. (I also, when I need it sometimes, put in my small Estwing Axe instead of the Hammer) The pliers compartment takes almost all pliers I have - from the Knipex Electrical Installation Pliers, Side Cutter or Water Pump Pliers (with one handle) to my Leatherman - depending on what I need.

I'm very pleased with the quality of craftsmanship and material, it's very useful and, at least I think so  [eek] [tongue], looks pretty neat next to my Randall knife ;)

When I have to remodel a shed next year, I will most definitely be shopping for one of their nail pouches.

Kind regards,
Oliver
