I wrote this before but here it is more succinctly: I bought this holder. It is a great concept but it has some flaws and does not work effectively yet. They need to address these issues and listen to their end users, and take feedback. They do not seem willing and able to do this yet. 2 Major issues. The space below the swing of the door is inadequate. Too often I could not push the door downward to remove the drill, because the drill handle blocked the door from opening all the way and I could not get the drill out. The lower area needs to be deepened or the gate/door needs to be shorter or needs to require less clearance. The gate door and the stop where it closes against have too much play from side to side. Too often I looked down and discovered the gate/door was on top of the stop, rather than below so I was unable to push it down to remove the drill. I had to flex one or both of them to move them away from each - other to move the gate/door back under the stop so I could use it.
I've got one of these now and there is no better drill holster out there that I've ever seen. I can literally drop my drill into it without thinking about it and not have to worry about the drill at all, until I need it again ... all in a no-look, one-handed operation. It's the perfect drill holster in my opinion.
+Ari P Nope I haven't run into those issues at at all. The only thing I realized that I couldn't do, and it became rather obvious, is that I can't use a drill with a smaller, compact battery like a lot of 12V's are, the shape of the battery is what holds your drill into the holster so I had to make sure I was using larger batteries like my 18V's are. Problem solved.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I found several alternatives on Amazon, but they are the holster type and don't allow holstering the drill without first removing the bit. I ordered one after watching this video and am waiting for it to arrive.
I just use a petzl Caritool, the advantage is that I can easily put it on the belt or take it off without undoing the belt. I use it on my climbing harnesses too.
I spend all my day on a ladder installing fixings. My concern is not people below me, its expensive flooring below me that might get damaged if I bump my drill off the ladder (where it has to rest when I'm not using it). My secondary concern is freeing up my hands to do something else without having to bend down and rest the drill on the ladder, or worse, climb down and place it on the floor (and then retrieve it 1 minute later). I've been using this holster for 3 months now and it is amazing. A guy I work with doesn't have one and he spends all day climbing up and down the ladder where I barely have to move. If it ever broke I'd rebuy it immediately (but I don't see this ever breaking). I also love the satisfying loud click that tells me the drill is secure, without having to look. I know this sounds like a paid advert, but it isn't (and frankly I don't give a shit if you believe me or not). TLDR: if you are thinking about getting a drill holster, get this one.
I wrote an email to the company with some concerns and never heard back. Bad customer service. The valley where the drill sits is not deep enough so you can not push the cover arm down to get the drill out easily. This is even the case with a milwaukee m12 with the larger square battery which will stay in the holster. Someone asked about the smaller m12 battery which you can not use since it is narrow and will slide out. Also strangely enough, the arm sometimes due to the flexing of the lower valley will flex and the arm will end up on top of the stop groove rather than below where it is suppose to sit. So when you push down to get the drill out, you can not push it down. You have to correct the position. They need to deepen the valley and make it more roomy for drills will a bigger handle/body and they need to stiffen the valley from flexing.
I think this guy is onto something, Most hooks though move or collapse close to your body for doing jobs that don't need the hook. He needs to make it swing in and out somehow. Then I would buy one. Being in a scissor lift you would get caught on the railing a lot with this system. Anyway nice find.
I have caught mine on stuff when working and the drill is out. It is great though when I am working on a roof and/or climbing scaffold. Wish it slipped over the belt as some of my belts are thicker. Depending on the situation I use this or my Big Lugg (Got both as stocking stuffers last year) Overall I would recommend it
Great idea, but only useful for drills that have a big honkin' battery like my Hitachi does. Wouldn't work at all with my Milwaukee M12, unless I bought the extended batteries for it.
That fargin DeWalt crap says it all. We have a crew of 17 men, each with his own work truck provided by the district. Each man has over several thousands of dollars of tools and equipment on their trucks. We can outfit our work trucks with whatever tools we individually choose, cost is no concern, in my tool backpack alone, I have over $1,600.00 in handtools, meters/test equipment and a small impact driver. Of the 17 guys in our yard, only one guy still carries DeWalt. The rest have shed that yellow garbage for more reliable, powerful and technically improved powertool from other manufacturers. I've tried DeWalt and the crap just gave up the ghost almost as soon as I took it out of the box. Most the guys in my yard think it's crap too. I now and for a while have been using Rigid and their powertools are amazing. It is easily the most powerful, longest running gear in our yard and I work these tool very hard without even a hint of wear and tear.
great job, if this thing kicks off well enough and you can spare the time maybe design a holder for cutting scissors(the ones used for drywall framing and such). one fell on my hand once with the pointy end going into it till it hit the bone it was quite nasty and needed a few stiches, and a few days ago someone lost his and scraped onto the other guys head barely avoiding bad injury.both of these instances the scissors were held in certified leather tool bags, the problem is they tend to fall easy if you lift your foot above waist level or if you sit in weird position restrained by the working space.
It looks more like a homeowner type of tool accessory. I flip houses and do most of the work myself so I use my 20v drills every day and all day long. I don't think this plastic hook would keep up. I wish you guys can make a metal one instead of plastic. Not to concern about the beauty of it, i just care if it is strong and durable.
Lol no one is going to be jumping like that, this product is way to expensive. I order something similar off amazon for $15 and absolutely love it. It’s called gunnie go check it out you will love it
Coolish if you like to rock out to Elvis at work ,I've used them all and this one has a bit of cool innovation involved with it ill give them that but it's flawed like the rest , but iam keeping that part to me lol ,
It is a great concept and if the corrections were made, would be an effective holster, but as it is, I can not rely on it. I had a fabric porter cable holster for years with a velcro secure strap which served me well, but the velcro wore out. So every few years I just have to either replace the strap or get a new one. But with the velcro, rather than a plastic clip, I could release and secure it easily and with one hand. The clips are more cumbersome.
Hey Christopher I'm a property manager and do minor repairs with ocasional larger repairs. I need a whole new Compact system. What system would you recommend? I was thinking of going non-brushless to save money. Home depot will have a lot of black friday deals so I want to go with a system and stick with it. I'm debating-- Rigid, Milwaukee, and Makita. What are they known for and how do they rate-- quality, durability, and cost? Anyone else' opinion is also welcome
Hi there, I'm actually just the guy who did the video five years ago. I suggest you look these guys up on a Google search and see if you can find contact information. I'm no longer in touch.
The problem with side holder is over time it will screw your back up, because of the off balance weight. What a person needs is some kind of shoulder holder. I have worked at a car factory for 23 years now and wearing a side holder has really made my back susceptible to Sciatica.
+Alberto Lopez I have them and you can not. You can only use the m12 extended square batteries. But as my comment above states, even with a supposedly narrower handle on the m12 drills, the top bar will not push down easily and clear the drill handle. They need to enlarge the valley below so the release arm can clear the drill handle to get it out.
+Ari P I find it funny when a product is ousted for not working when the buyer should think before buying about it's use. Like if i was to buy a small truck and then say "it cant tow my boat needs a bigger motor" Well then i should have got the bigger truck. If you have the older and or supper big drill maybe you need to think about that before buying. This is a plastic clip! so no it's not holding your 20# drill like my 1/4 ton cant tow my motor home. I'm running 20V DeWalt drill driver and this is good but my older 12V would be to heavy for it. Good thing I upgraded

Hello, I hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July. I can see that this does not work for awkward was guns especially the smaller 12 V both Bosch I am the lucky with the small amp hour batteries there is no ahead to them or should I say “butt”... These guns will just slip right out... I can see you Fine Clip only works with the larger 18 V + variety... (Sadly you can not keep up with the King) You are no match for Elvis Presley... LoL. Greg
If it was metal I'd consider buying one. I won't pay twenty pounds for what is essentially a bit of plastic and a cheap spring. Probably won't last 2 months.
+Ari P Yeah I'm not surprised. The idea is great but it seems they've decided to produce it as cheaply as possible, and without testing it thoroughly. It should be made of steel for the price they are asking.
don't even start on steel tools nowadays, there's stud crimper we use for framing drywall walls and it's basically 2 pieces of steel held together by a screw and it costs freakin 70 to 100 euro, if i had a welder and a sheet cutting press and a small lathe i could crank about 100 a day by myself, but no we gotta pay the fkn patent fee which seems 3-4 x the price of the tool. and all the alternatives are some cheap crap half made of aluminium and don't do the job as well. and now the new models of the same brand that was expensive got cheaper and break faster and with a manufacturing process about 3 -4 times more complicated than the last one... like wtf (oh and the old ones have been around for 30 years and they are still performing as brand new...)
Yeah it may be secure, but after that thing whips the drill around and the bit stabs you in the balls that first time. I guarantee you will never use it again

2 Major issues.

I had to flex one or both of them to move them away from each - other to move the gate/door back under the stop so I could use it.
wtf he lowkey hit his balls (dick)
Would this properly hold a milwaukee fuel 18v drywall screwgun? Something tells me it would flop around a lot, that screw gun is huge.
I've got one of these now and there is no better drill holster out there that I've ever seen. I can literally drop my drill into it without thinking about it and not have to worry about the drill at all, until I need it again ... all in a no-look, one-handed operation.

+Garrett Ramsay Have you run into the issues that I describe above? These have been really evident and occur repeatedly.
+Ari P Nope I haven't run into those issues at at all.

The exact comments I expected for when scrolling down the comments. I can die happy now
Thanks for the suggestions you have discussed here.
American Ingenuity is alive and well. Thank you for sharing.
+Keeper Oath Read my comments above. I would not buy it yet.
Elvis is alive! Rock out with your drill out
5 years later laughing my ass off hahahaha
This is a genius product, I am going to purchase one
I just use a petzl Caritool, the advantage is that I can easily put it on the belt or take it off without undoing the belt. I use it on my climbing harnesses too.
You are amazing! Always worth reading comments! Love you ❤️
Does it fit a power drill?
Genius I am always dropping mine Funny commercial well done.
I bet this guy has a real Hog that swings and knocks tools off his belt

Cool product, i'd buy one if I used my M18 drill more, but I mostly use an M12 1/4".
This wouldn't hold it.
Look for a kydex sheath for the m12 driver took with bit holders. Also, conceal carry holster under arm kydex sheath is for a QuickDraw.
want to buy one but after reading the review on amazon I have a strong feeling that mine won't last 2 weeks
Might be time for a more up to date version now that we have moved on from the massive batteries and smaller power tools overall.
that slo mo jingle hop is absolutely mesmerizing
You should put a link in the description to order the Gorilla hook
Dam , sweet, I always have a problem not having a place to put my impact gun doing siding
I have been using one of these for 12 months now and it's great I was worried about it being made from plastic but I can't seem to break the thing
Great idea.
wtf he lowkey hit his balls (dick)

Just ordered 1 we will see
does like a good piece of kit, are they sold in new zealand?
Man I took your video and shopped out the drill, than I played the video . It looked like a funny dance. Or like your having a standing seizure 👍😄🤣
Brave or have no nutz. Either way, bravo.
First time seeing this... is it not popular?
What kind of cup can withstand that kind of beating?
I want this..... but cant find any for sale
Why would someone be jumping ? I do drywall and the beltclip that it comes its very secure ... i use a dewalt 20v screwgun ...
It looks more like a homeowner type of tool accessory. I flip houses and do most of the work myself so I use my 20v drills every day and all day long. I don't think this plastic hook would keep up.

The 65K pennies question.....Where I can get it????
Is this product still for sale? A quick google search doesn't yield me much result in Canada
The kydex sheath homemade or manufactured is the way to go, or underarm holster for QuickDraw. Just like a handgun.
Nice
What if in the future after a nuclear holocaust this was the only video that made it. 😅😅😅 and a future civilization would be like "that explains it"
Coolish if you like to rock out to Elvis at work ,I've used them all and this one has a bit of cool innovation involved with it ill give them that but it's flawed like the rest , but iam keeping that part to me lol ,
I have Dewalt tools so I just bought a couple. Brilliant idea.

Awesome product.....best drill holder ever.... ...all others are just pretenders.
Will they work with makita normal size drills?
I went to look and the web site isn't working
Why not make it in stainless steel?
Would this work with 1/2 drive impact gun?
Drywall looks like you should leave the guns on the floor.
how do you use this with milwaukee 12v impact with normal batteries,

Doesn't look like safe to use, especially when you fall, the drill bit may toward to your body and cause injury.

compared it to the worst in its class, just when it also belongs
The drill they used as an example is impractical. Off balance and bottom heavy 😂
If it was metal I'd consider buying one. I won't pay twenty pounds for what is essentially a bit of plastic and a cheap spring. Probably won't last 2 months.
+Nick White I purchased one and had issues. Read my comments above.
+Ari P Yeah I'm not surprised. The idea is great but it seems they've decided to produce it as cheaply as possible, and without testing it thoroughly. It should be made of steel for the price they are asking.
don't even start on steel tools nowadays, there's stud crimper we use for framing drywall walls and it's basically 2 pieces of steel held together by a screw and it costs freakin 70 to 100 euro, if i had a welder and a sheet cutting press and a small lathe i could crank about 100 a day by myself, but no we gotta pay the fkn patent fee which seems 3-4 x the price of the tool.
and all the alternatives are some cheap crap half made of aluminium and don't do the job as well. and now the new models of the same brand that was expensive got cheaper and break faster and with a manufacturing process about 3 -4 times more complicated than the last one... like wtf (oh and the old ones have been around for 30 years and they are still performing as brand new...)
needs to be aluminium tube and light as possible
"Monkey around". I don`t think so. Maybe gorilla around, then okay.
Yeah it may be secure, but after that thing whips the drill around and the bit stabs you in the balls that first time. I guarantee you will never use it again
if you could drop a drill gun that often. you were fired. already 100 years a go..
I don’t wear a belt lol
ROFWL!!!
Shut up and take my money
