Klein Tools 5244 Tool Apron, Tape Thong and Four Reinforced Pockets for Hand Tools, Waist Size 32 to 53-Inch

I am a electrician and I use this pouch for my installation and demos of Jobs I can have my wire nuts and other tools I need for the job a

It'd be great if you made women's waist sizes as well, as women are also in construction.

I had high hopes for this pouch after seeing it in the field first then later reading reviews. I don't feel as though I was extra rough on this particular piece of jobsite wear. In hindsight, I didn't have my tools turned handle-side down and I tended to pack it full of material, but just standard screws and connectors.After my initial purchase...I didn't hesitate breaking this in, and immediately wore this every day, long hours a day, and many per week. I can't see the date purchased, but I'd guess and say 6mos of riding her hard and hanging her up wet.--First the inner pocket seam began unwinding, turning the tool pockets into a giant pouch, wide enough for ANY tool to end up sideways and forearm deep.--Next, the outer material pockets went. They are literally just stitched to the inner pocket and not an actual pocket. It turned into a giant mess but I tried to deal with them both. After about a week of trying to deal and purposely ignoring the unwinding ball of yarn. I took out home and quit using it in the field.I tried to retire the pouch and instead purchased a Mississippi Pouch from Atlas46. They have many other tool pouch offerings, but I went with a simple setup you start. Seemingly much higher quality and durable to boot (+lifetime replacement guarantee for ANY REASON). Unfortunately shipping delays and COVID have held up that purchase and I've resorted to fixing this thing myself.I spent 4+ hours stitching this by hand, my finger tips are sore and I stabbed the needle underneath my nail more than once. But it's worth it to use an apron at work instead of tool belts and the likes. I am an electrician, not a seamstress so please marvel at the stitch-job and take note. You will NEED to bolster the seams and stitch the corners in order to provide your own durability that Klein themselves wouldn't.I failed to follow my own rule..."Don't buy ANYTHING Klein unless it's a handtool. Otherwise, you're wasting money."MY SUGGESTION would be to skip the heartache and START with Atlas46. I've seen their pouches in the field and am very impressed.

Me and all my guys use these now. For when you have a tool cart and dont need your full tool pouches. A good everyday pouch. Larger than other similar designs. Wide pouches make getting material easy. Nice wide belt.

I'm in my 30th year of electrical Construction and this is the best apron I've found yet! I've had the tie on Home Depot type, Duluth with the fire hose, and Carhartt aprons. Decided to try this apron because of the price point. I was going to get another Carhartt but they jacked their price up so I but the Klein apron. I like how these stay open so you can reach in and grab the pieces that you need while you're working. Definitely heavy-duty built and reinforcement on the bottom side of the pockets. Klein did well on this one!

I love having two very large and wide pockets, but not paper thin like those cheap 99 cent aprons. Also has a tape holder and two thin pockets for things like wire strippers or linesman's. There's two thin like 1" wide pockets on the right side. I use one for my tick tracer and the other for a pencil and sharpie. I'm very happy with it.

I like the fact that I can work with my tools and have pockets for my screws and miscellaneous fittings.

I like more than the Bucket Boss but the pockets are a little bulky and get caught up (snagged) on everything you don’t want it to especially if your job requires a lot of ladder work and tight spaces.Otherwise this holds up okay. I would buy again

Needs breaking in. Stiff at first but fits better as it’s used.Good for electrical trade to carry fittings and hardware. Not to great for carrying slot of tools….just basic hand tools ie.) pliers, strippers etc.

This a great product. Very well built and heavy duty. The pockets are huge, which is great if you have only light things to hold. Probably not great for a load of nails as it would get heavy and could be hard to stay up.
