3505 Work Belt

First I bought this belt about two years ago. At that time I did not write a review, but now that I have just ordered a second belt for a different holster I figured it was past time. OK: I ordered this based on it being 2 inches wide. As seen in the photo I have an old safariland holster from about 1985. It was part of my sam brown duty belt that was 2 1/4 inches wide, and thick leather(as is the holster, & pouch). The belt has long ago gone into "no way I am going to wear that today(retired)" mode. I also did not want a modern heavy or tactical type belt as I no longer carry all that weight(Really heavy stuff). Anyway this belt fit, was light, but held my old .45(hey really beat the old .38 special) just fine. Has held up well. This photo was taken today again after over two years of use. And I will repeat have just ordered a second for a newer pistol, & holster. I expect continued happy usage with both.

This belt is easy to adjust for a perfect fit. I wear it when picking produce in the garden. I put the handle of a 2 gallon bucket inside the belt and snap it closed around my waist. The belt is nice and wide so it holds the bucket well without digging into me. This frees up both of my hands for picking okra or cherry tomatoes.

This work belt from Custom LeatherCraft is about 2” wide, and is made of heavy duty nylon webbing. It has a large quick release plastic clip, and the length is adjustable up to about 46”. The web material is quite stiff, so it should maintain its form and be able to support the weight of most tool pouches, and also provide a suitable gripping surface for most clip-on accessories. If the timing is good, you might be able to buy this for four or five dollars, which seems to be a fair price for what is a very basic economy grade work belt. If the cost is much higher, you might want to look at something else.

I first purchased this belt from a hardware store and was very impressed with the stiffness and quality of the belt but the buckle was lacking. The tangs on the buckle were very smooth like it had already been used for several years. When you close any quick release buckle it should produce a crisp loud "click". This belt produced a low thud. I returned it. I purchased another "heavy duty" belt from another company, the buckle was great but the belt was very soft and rolled inside my drill holster. I returned it. I thought I would give this belt another try and hopefully the newer (and hopefully improved) belt would have a better buckle, really glad I did. These belts are very stiff and hold their shape under heavy loads, even when I carry my Ridgid high torque half inch impact gun in my No Cry holster. The buckle is solid and will not fail. I purchased two of these (one for my better half) and paired with my Tough Built suspenders, (highly recommend) I think they will last a lifetime.

May 2021- Clasp does not hold. Seems as if constructed wrong. Plastic “teeth” on buckle end don’t fully engage into clasp. Belt falls off with the slightest movement and I only have a dog treat bag attached. Contacted seller over a month ago instead of immediately giving a bad review. They promised to send a replacement. Weeks later, I contacted them again and was told, the item is backordered and was expected end of month. Haven’t heard any more- still waiting. It’s now too late for me to return via Amazon. Guess you get less than what you pay for. July 17, 2021- finally got the promised replacement in the mail. The clasp on this one is working so far (day 1). It was nice to hear that “click” when I put it on. Hoping the clasp holds up for a while. Like that it can be adjusted and belt material is quite sturdy ( maybe a bit too stiff) . Am increasing my rating to 3*. Might have been a 4, but their quality control should not have let the first one through and the replacement took almost 2 months.

I purchased this for a Halloween costume, NOT for heavy duty work. It seems strong enough that the material won't rip or tear, but the buckles are a bit lacking. They're hard plastic, so while they're strong and don't come apart when I squeeze my fat butt into the belt, I'm worried that it might snap after a while with heavy attachments. It's good enough quality for what I want that I felt what I paid was justifiable, however if you're looking for something that will last for 30+ years of heavy duty work, you might want to look elsewhere. I am giving this product 5 Stars because It's perfect for my needs and I've had no flaws or issues!

Love my new tool belt. Nice and wide and hold my kit. Wrap it around my pants at the belt area and stay in place. Was very stiff when received. Took a little time to lengthen the belt to fit. Material is very stiff. Note this is nylon not cotton. After getting it adjusted I took some duct tape, two pieces. and wrapped the excess area to keep it in place. May need to adjust belt size later. Buckle is plastic, but seems heavy duty enough for homeowner use. So far so good. Note pic shows belt brand new. I keep the belt haning which has already strectched it out a little so it is not so stiff.

It’s a belt, strong enough material used for the belt itself (but it’s just not leather). I am currently testing the reliability of the plastic clip buckle (still working fine after a month of use). I will return to update this review if I find anything wrong or great about this product (don’t count on it though, it is still doing what it is intended to do just fine).

Razoável estoura fácil,

Not sure if the buckle would stand up to day in and out use. Occasional use this is great for the price.

Good with value

Buan calidad y se ajusta perfectamente a cualquier medida, se batalla un poco para ajustarlo pero funciona bien.

El broche de plástico no es de la mejor calidad, pero cumple con su función.
