Occidental Leather5590 M Commercial Electrician's Set

Product arrived sixteen weeks early. Included a free 1.0 kg bar of 25K gold. Would do business again.

I am writing my review here, but I did order a slightly different pouch (  Occidental Leather 5596- M Industrial Pro Electrician's Set. Size Medium. Made in U.S.A.  ). There one I ordered is the all leather version, but it seems like most of the traffic is on this model. The main, hand tool holding portion of the pouch is exactly the same.  Occidental Leather 5596- M Industrial Pro Electrician's Set. Size Medium. Made in U.S.A. .First, this pouch is light. I have been wearing leather pouches all my life, and this is the lightest one I have worn. Don't let that turn you off, however; the leather is very thick and high quality.Do not plan to work with this pouch immediately. The leather needs a few days to break in. At first, I was extremely worried that some of my tools were going to fit. However, after shoving them in their compartments, oiling the pouch with a leather conditioner, the leather began to soften and mold to my individual tools. With that, be sure that you have them where you want them. The leather really does mold tight to each individual tool.The size is nice. It is on the smaller side compared to other electricians pouches, but it carries all the basics. Personally, I do not believe in having a tool packed pouch that weighs you down all day. So for me, it works.The only con I really have is that it doesn't seem to have a spot dedicated for a level. Common, Occidental, every single electrician uses on basically on a daily basis. I have mine in what I believe is for a razor knife. The pocket has a bottom, so the level cannot go all the way into the pouch. I might cut the bottom of it. I have not decided yet.In any case, great pouch. It should last >20 years easily.

Just get a bigger belt than you think you should. This is the best gear I have ever put on! High quality and craftsmanship is noticeable as soon as you open the box! I can not say enough about it! Pull the trigger and get you a set today! Worth every penny!

Many great features of these bags. I really like so many things about them, but almost the entire large pouch on the right side is just one big pocket, and there are small leather straps riveted to make tool holders. This doesn't work at all. If these straps had actual pockets (i.e., a leather piece sewn all the way around, like most of the other pockets), this would be a 5-star setup. As it is, it's truly just OK.Great build quality. The design just needs some more work.

F**** expensive - but everyone is jealous.It fits like a glove. I ended up buying a large belt, getting the sheep skin guards, and the shoulder pads.People say that it's heavy - but I can wear more and not feel it with the whole set up.The more popular choice for a belt is the Boulder bags - but I replaced those with this and can't be happier.I have had this for a month and all my tools fit in it. I have yet to figure out how to post a picture to amazon, will do later. I'll edit this if I ever need to talk about durability - that's why I went with Occidental.

Loved this! Bought it as a present for my bf and it's beautiful. Great quality. He is normally a 34" waist and I ordered him a Medium. Had to exchange for a Large because I didn't pay attention to the size chart (tells you to add 4" or something to what size pant you wear). I exchanged just the belt, which cost me $10 plus the FedEx shipping which ended up being $17 for ground, but we got the exchange back within a week, so whatever. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is it kinda sucks I had to pay almost $30 to just exchange the belt after paying almost $300. But. whatever.

Over the moon that is what my husband is. He loves his new belt it was a bit small so don't buy the size you would be for your pants go up a size. He ordered a replacement belt an the suspenders for added support an he is more than happy.

Had this belt for about 3 months now and it’s the best investment for me so far. I’m in the IBEW and tend to have my belt on me for 6-8 hours a day and this belt is very comfortable, I’m probably going to get the sheep skin hip pads soon to make it more comfy but even with out it the belt is very nice and I’m sure I’ll have it for 5+ years. Great purchase! Can’t go wrong with occidental.
