Favorite brand of pouch


Hello to my rockin' brothers out there! Wondering what brand of pouches you all swear by. I'm an Occidental Leather guy myself. I've had Oxy's for about 6 years, before that the "standard" WalBoard tool pouch and whatever fastener bag the supply shop had hanging next to the WalBoard pouches. Saw my Oxy's for the first time on my first day of commercial work. I thought to myself, I need those pouches. In my opinion, best pouches around.

Re: Favorite brand of pouch


same here.. they last forever. ive had mine for about 8 or 9 years. i have two sets. one for framing/roofing/remodeling. and one for drywall. with the maguires and the like...you go through at least one a year. Better to spend the money and get something that lasts.

Re: Favorite brand of pouch


never heard of oxys. All we see around here are wallboard and they dont last me but a year or so. I end up putting a piece of lattice in the botton because my knive eats a hole in them. Where can u buy oxys or a different brand?

Re: Favorite brand of pouch


FYI:
www.DuluthTrading.com
is the best place to get your belt.
I swear by Occidental.

However, I have to admit that Checkers' pictures in comment #5 show a mighty fine pouch and belt from bobsleather.

I prefer the Graber Harness and Saddlery. They are made in America by the Amish craftsmen. They are about the same price as Occidental Leather.

Haha! I'm not a homo, but I just might be an idiot! It has been so long since I read this I didn't even notice. DOH!

Well, since you recommend them, they MUST be good (that rather does make sound like a homo now doesn't it)
