Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t think your belt in the professional range is long enough for me, do you have a longer one?
Yes we do, you will need to make a note of this on your order and specify that we change it. Our code for this belt is 50.171.115 - (114-132CM)
I wear my toolbelt at the back, can your tool belts accommodate this?
Yes, but please consider where your tools will sit as they will end up on the opposite side to what it would have been if worn at the front. For example, if you are right handed, and prefer your hammer on the right hand side, then we suggest you buy the left hand option so the hammer holder ends up on the right hand side.
What are the metal loops for on some of your toolbelts for?
These loops are for our toolbelt support braces. These have been designed to help distribute the weight of your toolbelt when on the job. There are two designs, 344AB for trades’ people who wear their belt at the front and the 344AB-REV for those who wear their toolbelt at the back. In 2021, we also released a new product 344AB-TM, which is a new, comfort-focussed design.
Do you make custom made toolbelts?
At this time we do not. We do however have a large range of toolbelts on offer and a great range of accessories you can purchase to customise and suit your individual needs. Always feel free to contact us with any design modifications or concepts you would like us to consider. We take your feedback to all our product development meetings.
Do you make toolbelts for left handed people?
Most tool belts come with a place for the hammer on either the left or right hand side. Some designs require you to specify if you want left or right hand option.
Some people wear their toolbelt backwards. This means that if you are a right handed trade’s person and you wear your toolbelt at the back you need to purchase a left hand toolbelt so the hammer ends up on the right hand side.
