Tool belts

[Boggle4137]

Hi guys, looking at kit online and ive ran across tool belts (for groundies) a few times. Although ive never seen them used i wonder if anyone out there does use them. The leather ones are quite expencive i think and was wondering if a canvas belt/pouch system (military/police style webbing) would work just as well. I would also like to know what configurations and kit you guys carry and any pics would be welcome

Cheers

What kit do groundies need to carry?

[Steve Bullman]

I worked with one groundie who used to carry a utility belt.  It was more useful than he was!

Well i dont only mean groundies, anyone really. I can imagine that if i had one i would have too much crap in it that could just go in a grip bag. Google show guys with spare chains, stump vices etc

Wouldn't it chafe on their running shorts?

Really intended more for forestry when you are more likely to be moving around a lot and need stuff with you and not arb where your generally near the van and any stuff you need.

Could u not just use a fencing/joiners pouch??

 

Personally I couldn't be bothered with 1, if ur  ground and working the chipper is there not a chance of some brash pulling something out of it?

Wot do u really need to carry anyway?

Even spare chains/bars/plug keys/files are either on fuel can or in ur piece bag.

 

Even when working in forestry u don't really need that much any nearer than  fuel can

You mean to say you haven't got one already?
