First the belt, the 5” belt is cushioned pad that wraps around the 2” belt makes it very comfortable when wearing. The buckle is metal and is easy to clip together. It was a little tough to make the adjustment to fit me but once I made it, it was fine. Second the hammer holder, not much to write on this, slide the belt through it, it’s on the back. Third is the 18 pocket tool pouch, plenty of places for different types of test meters, screw drivers, wire strippers, tin snips, punch down tools and even a drill driver. Fourth is the 8 pocket tool pouch, again there’s plenty of space for test meters, your drill driver and some small wrenches. All in all this is going to work great for me. Because it’s new, the material is stiff and will take a little time to break it in. I question there warranty, it seems vague, on the Home Depot site for this set it states: “Klein Tools products, manufactured and sold for commercial or industrial uses, are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the normal life of the product”. What is normal life? Price seems high to me.

Klein tools makes excellent heavy duty tools and equipment. The belt on this electricians holster set is extra wide and very well padded which makes it very comfortable to wear. The two pouches included are set up so you can carry just about any tool you can imagine that you would need for electrical work plus it has a large hammer ring. The belt is customizable so you could mix and match any Klein pouch you want. If you really load this belt down with tools, i would recommend using a pair of suspenders just to help take some of the load off your hips. The belt has both Velcro and a heavy adjustable metal clip to hold it in place. I would highly recommend this belt to any professional or DIY person out there even if you don't use it for electrical tools.

The 4-piece Electricians Combo Set 5710M (OMSID 100647951) by Klein Tools, part of their PowerLine Series, is the real deal; Klein has thought of everything with this system. This particular model is designed to perfectly fit waist sizes 32 to 36". The 5710L (OMSID 100647807) is designed to perfectly fit waist sizes 36 to 40", and the 5710XL (OMSID 203426609) is for waist sizes 40 to 44". While they are all equipped with an extra long web-type belt that can be adjusted outside the listed ranges, the benefit of the hook-and-loop (Velcro-type) fastener on the padded part of the belt might be lost...the "perfect" fit part. This is a handy feature when the tool pouches are full and heavy and you're trying to fasten the buckle. The hook-and-loop fastener holds things together so the buckle can effortlessly be snapped together. About that buckle: no cheatin' plastic here. It is solid metal with a spring-loaded clasp...tough enough to hold even the heaviest pouches. The padded part of the belt assembly (5704M, OMSID 100151167) has a 1 1/2" wide piece of hook fastener running its entire length that will eventually mate up with the loop fastener on each of the included accessories: 5719 tool pouch, 5718 tool/parts pouch, and 5706 hammer loop. This will allow you to place the accessories where you want them and they aren't gonna move. This tool pouch system is made in the USA, and it is made to last. Heavy duty Cordura nylon is double-stitched and rivet reinforced for exceptional durability. The pouches come with reinforced bottoms to help prevent tools and other sharp stuff from poking through. Most importantly, the whole business is machine washable. Work in an odoriferous environment and you'll really appreciate this feature. A quick look at the product brochure reveals a myriad of accessory items designed to enhance this set's usefulness, including suspenders (5717, OMSID 100647989). Suffice to say that anything I write about this fine offering by Klein Tools cannot possibly do it full justice.

Falls short of expectations.
I purchased the product to take advantage of 8 individual pockets with a great layout. Instead, I get ONE HUGE pocket with 4 DIVIDERS!?! Ty-wraps, groundtails, wires, etc. will refuse to remain vertically upright inside the HUGE pocket and sink flat to the bottom and become a hassle to extract. If you plan on sorting material using the deep left and right interior pockets you are also mistaken. The dividers are only held together atop and below the pocket dividers. As one previous reviewer had mentioned. "The items will mingle too much." I believe that with well executed modifications to the pouch it will turn out great. A shame having to invest even more time besides my well earned money on a $55 Klein Tools product. Besides the issues I intend to correct. The material is solid. The intended pockets are conveniently located and designed. Their size is perfect. It is quite comfortable around the waist and pairs great with the POWERLINE SERIES BELT.

        Not worth the money
        I wouldn't recommend this belt, I use a lot of Klein tools, and it is unbelievable how Klein can make a tool pouch with screw driver pockets that don't fit the standard Klein screw driver. Also the material pouch is disorganized easily because most of the pockets are completely separate, they all combine at the the bottom. Screws, wire nuts, hardware- everything gets mixed up in them, I really just don't like them.

          screw driver slots???
          Why is it that Klein Screw drivers never fit in the slots on Klein bags? No real place for linemans or other pliers either. The $50 set has a way better set up. Too bad they fall apart in a short time, and youre still out of luck with screwdrivers there too

            The thing that I like most about this tool belt is the metal belt bucket. The belt buckles that I are on some of my other tool belts are plastic and are subject to failure. But this Klein Tools tool belt has a nice metal belt buckle that has two separately spring loaded clips both top and bottom inside the buckle. This tool belt has nice Klein Tools logos on both the tool bags and on the belt buckle. I tested the electrical tape holder with two different internal diameter sized electrical tape rolls and it worked very well.

            Excellent and Comfortable tool belt - the padding on this tool belt makes it incredibly comfortable. There are a bunch of features I really like 1. Padding - supper comfortable 2. Metal latch/buckle - the buckle for this belt is made from metal and is very smooth and easy to open and close. It holds the belt very secure when in place and is easily undone with one hand. Feels durable and rugged 3. Velcro - there is velcro on the padding that can temporarily hold the belt on while the wearer latches the metal buckle. Its a little thing but it also keeps the padding from moving even a little. 4. Pouches - you can rotate them but they are set up for right-handed use. The right-hand pocket has plenty of places to store marking tools, pliers, screwdrivers, ties, cable cutters, and tape. The left side stands out giving you easy access to several fastner compartments. 5. Material - the black nylon feels very durable and rugged, which I like because I tend to be hard on things. Things are either double stitched or re-enforced with rivets. Overall - very happy with this tool belt, it is great quality and durable. It is pricey but I think it's one of those "you get what you pay for." And the price is on par with other "premium" tool belts/rigs

            Oh my gosh! I surprised my husband with this and he loves it! It has extra accessories like the electrical tape holder. The belt is padded for extra comfort. The tool belt has a lot of extra pouches/spots for tools and it is extra comfortable. My husband was very happy that I got this for him and says it is great for keeping all of his electrical tools and supplies well organized.

            KLEIN 4-PIECE ELECTRICIAN COMBO SET HOLSTER . Been in the electrical trade for over 30 years and I must say that this set has to be the most comfortable combination that I have ever used! Pouches are just right for the tools that I need . Belt is padded and wide enough that it's not digging into my hips. It definitely cuts down on the fatigue when wearing a tool belt!

            This thing is made-to-last while holding heavy tools. The material is super-tough high-test nylon. Every seam is reinforced and double stitched. Every corner is further reinforced with rivets. These tool holders are designed to hold real-world professional-tools, which are by nature LARGE and heavy. Yet because of the lightweight nylon and balanced design, this feels lightweight when I wear it. I also like the W-I-D-E belt which makes it comfortable and helps keep it in place. The pockets are LARGE so I can reach inside easily. I like everything about this too belt... except the color. I don't know why manufacturers insist on using BLACK for tool belts and bags. That makes it hard to see things when indoors under poor lighting. And black absorbs heat when working outdoors which makes the tool belt ( and tools) unnecessarily hot.

            Electricians combo holster set. One on the left and one pouch on the right. It was snug when I put it on as I have a 34 in. waist and had to let out the belt strap, it's snug but now fits. It is durable and made of high quality canvas type material. This will be around longer than I am. So many pouches for tools and small items so they can be taken to even an elevated job site. Also a place for your hammer and a special chain for tape. Great.

            I am impressed with the quality and heavy gauge material the holster set is made from. The pockets are double seen and rugged and deep enough to place tools into. The belt is wide and padded so it won't wear a hole in your hips or back. It looks like it's easily cleaned out and soil resistant. The one thing it's missing is the ability to add some sort of padded suspenders set up to the belt. Same type of idea like an Alice pack. Maybe sew some D rings to it that a clipped shoulder suspender could clip to

            The inside 2 pouches are not sewed together. For an electrician that stores straps and other small items in the pouch, it will not work. They mingle a little too much.

            Alot better quality than most others
            Seems to be better than most other brands of pouches and better suited for the job of an electrician parts pouch.

            If it aint Klein, it aint mine.
            Yet again Klein Tools has made a product well worth every penny. These bags are the most comfortable that I've ever worn. They have heavy duty pockets with reinforced nylon to protect against tearing. The only downside is that it does not have a place to hold your drill, I have a drill hook so it isn't a problem but it would be nice. It holds everything else though with room to spare. If you are a serious electrician than you know to only buy Klein and these bags are no exception. I wear my bags 40+ hours every week so I only use the best.
