Power Tool Holder Belt Hook

Took a little getting used to but it fits and works nicely just slightly behind my right hip on a Makita tool belt (like at 3.15 or 3.30 on a clock face and I have my screw pouch at the same location on left side). Had it right on my hip/side or at the front a bit and it gets in the way of things I'm carrying. I put it on backwards once and it took me a while to figure out why it felt unco. I am fastening screws all day in the assembly of steel frames for transportable cyclone rated buildings, about 3000 to 5000 screws per day and using a Protool/Festool drill (if you are looking for a good cordless drill, no other brand has stood up like these ones). Previously I would put the drill down whenever we flipped the frames or stacked them, we work from two frame tables so the drill would often be left at the the opposite table to the one I needed it at after stacking a frame, all the extra footsteps to fetch it added up noticeably. From a time and motion point of view and also a fatigue management point of view this thing performs admirably, when we are working at 100% capacity every small thing helps to make the day easier/smoother and this thing is a great addition. By the end of the first day this thing was second nature and is effortlessly fast to use once you have it in the right position. I found myself using it also whenever I am stepping over/into/out of the frames so I would have two hands free which is much safer. I have used it for one week now and it shows no signs of wear. The rubber coating on the hook is sort of soft/grippy so your drill is likely to stay on it where you put it, for example a few times I dropped in the drill onto the trigger and it stayed there and 'on' until I moved it, but with a bit of use you will be putting your drill exactly were you want it every time and that's where it will be when you retrieve it fast.I don't know how one reviewer wore it out in 40hrs and seems to be the only one, maybe carrying something a lot heavier than a hand drill. Anyway for a cordless drill with a battery at base of handle (for the hook to 'catch' the drill) I recommend this wholeheartedly. I looked around a lot online before settling on this one and have not been disappointed. There is one called gorilla grip I think that will not let your drill fall if you are working at heights, that looked pretty good. I would confidently use the big lugg working on a ladder but be sure to position it more toward your buttock as if you have it at the side or front your hands and thighs and things you are handling could inadvertently lift/knock the drill from the hook.All in all I know it's only such a little thing but the difference the big lugg has made to my work day is huge so I give it the highest rating and recommendation.Oh, one more thing where it saves a lot of time and feeling stupid is where I used to often put down the drill when there was a breakdown or other interruption and then find myself wandering around looking for it when we got started again. And we work in teams and it stops other guys picking up my drill, so I always know when I did last battery change and how fresh the drill bit is. Small things I know but they make for a better workday.The only other test is how long it lasts, will try and update this review if it fails on me.

I use this clip every single day I go to work. It hooks to my tool cart. And it holds my favorite drill. For the price I challenge you to find a better clip. It's adjustable and does the job fantastically. Buy it or don't, it makes no difference to me, but if you don't it will make a difference to you, in my opinion

I purchased this hook from Amazon to hold my DeWalt 18volt drill while I finished my basement. It worked as I expected it to for about 6 months but, then one day I heard a big thud as my drill hit the floor. As I picked up my drill, I noticed that the hook itself had broken from the metal belt clip. The coupling between the two is plastic and it looks like it stress fractured right at the 90 degree joint. I can't say that I'm totally surprised because the drill is heavy and I certainly got a lot of use out of the hook which is why I haven't panned it. I'm going to see if Bigg Lugg will replace it but, I'm not holding my breath.

I like it but, I liked the Bigg Lugg 2 (Home Depot used to sell and for less money) better. The Bigg Lugg 2 did not have the nut on top for the swivel which mars my drills but otherwise I don't mind it.I love these for all kinds of hanging uses: tools, buckets, extension cords, etc.I have at least 8 of the Bigg Lugg 2 but couldn't find them at HD anymore so I purchased this one here on Amazon. I never had one break but I love having lots around for all the different uses, in my garage, trucks, tool bins, holding things on shelves, etc. When I can't seem to find one I have no problem buying another.I have only had one ball end come off and one other became loose. Some hooks are slippery while other aluminum hooks left marks.You can also bend the hooks if you feel you need to.

Great piece of kit to incorporate on your tool belt for pneumatic guns, and such....only drawback is getting it to stay where you want it, and then keeping it from peeling off the belt, when you grab whatever is hanging on it. Just have to drill little hole through metal tab that rests on belt, and rivet it together. Assuming you have a rivet gun. :-) I do. I GOT MINE!

This was the second Bigg Lugg I've purchased. I bought the first one in 1998 and wore it on my tool belt every day until it finally broke this year, 2014. Absolutely indispensable for me to hold a cordless drill or nail gun, even levels or whatever else I could fit on there. I drilled a small hole through the clip on the first one and secured it semi permanently to my tool belt with a small zip tie, which stopped the occasional pop off.The new one is similar to the old one, except the angle that connects the hook to the clip is plastic on the new and was metal on the old. I saved the old metal angle in case the plastic doesn't hold up, but the plastic seems pretty solid.Another difference is that the hook on the old was bare metal, while the new hook is covered with a grippy, rubbery jacket. Hopefully the metal is the same, as the old one got caught and bent many times before finally snapping. Tip: to minimize this annoying snagging, get in the habit of swivelling the hook tight against yourself when not in use. Leave it sticking out to guarantee frustration.The ball on the old hook eventually came loose (after something like 10 years), but I simply reattached it with 2P10.So far this new one is just as good as the old. I was glad to see they are still around.
