BUILDERS BELT XL Adjustable Tool Belt

The Builders Belt XL is a padded leather and nylon, adjustable tool belt for carpenters or other tradesmen that need to carry tools and fasteners around their waist. The padded waist belt can adjust for waist sizes from 41" to 58" to support the separate Hammer Holder (HH1), Fastener Pouch and Tool Pouch, each of which is included with the Builders Belt. Additional Hammer Holders may be purchased separately. The Hammer Holder (HH1) and both pouches are designed for left or right-hand use. The pouches can swap sides, one or both can be removed from the belt, and/or swapped with the Hammer Holder (HH1). A set of suspenders we call Belt Lifters (BT-LT) are sold separately and can be attached to the padded belt and worn over the shoulders to help in carrying the weight of a loaded Builders Belt. An additional Hammer Holder (HH1) may also be purchased separately or worn on a waist belt.

• Keep the Zippers Clean and Lubricated - Over time, dirt and grit will clog the zipper coils preventing them from staying closed. To keep this from happening, clean and lubricate your zippers twice a year (more often if you work on a job site with a high amount of airborne debris). To clean the coils: Scrub them with soapy water; a tooth brush works very well. After scrubbing the coils, blow them out with an air hose to dislodge any other fine grit that didn't dislodge with the brush. To lubricate the coils: Apply a silicone spray, beeswax or a zipper lubricant
• Protect the Zippers From Sharp Objects and/or Excessive Heat - Any sharp object or heat source is capable of permanently damaging the zippers. Once a zipper coil is cut or singed the zipper will not function and in most cases is not repairable. Most of the cut zipper coils we see are the result of sharp tools stored inside the bag with the sharp side facing up. Make sure to keep the sharp edges of your tools facing down in your bag and away from the zipper coils
• Don't Overstuff the Bag - Overstuffing your tool bag will very likely cause significant stress on the zippers that is above and beyond what the bag was built for and will eventually cause the zipper(s) to separate. If you have to work hard to close your zipper(s), your tool bag is most likely overstuffed... proceed with caution
