anyone want to count how many times I call it the Atlas 64 vs atlas 46 bags..... I am an idiot lol. Hope this helps all those wondering about the bags I have been wearing.
That's funny cos I've never seen him kiss a sponsors arse and I've watched most of the videos. I have however seen him give a fair few well thought,genuine tool reviews. Your bad!
Yup. This guy never kisses butt. I seen him using the Dewalt framing gun and he didn’t have anything good to say that’s when I knew I could trust his reviews. That gun is a pile of doo doo.
It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
A divider in the grande on the lower pouch would be killer, I have diamond back pouches on my harness and my hands are to big to get the nails out of the bottom 2 pouches
I don't know how you can switch often between pouches like that. Every time I try something new, I get so lost, it's like learning to walk all over again. lol
I find myself reaching for my hammer in my day to day all the time lmao. Just grab the head and slide it out the extra 15 inches or so makes the perfect poking/reaching stick 😂
Great review that looks like a well made bag personally I don’t like a bag on my right I just have a big one on my left and a drill holster on my back.That would be a great bag for an electrician to keep screw drivers and wire strippers in.
Should of told diamondback to make a 2 small pouches on the bottom left side. I use 16d and 8d. Having 2 bottom pouches on left would help keep those seperate.
I've been seeing a lot of love micro squares. I've never used one, and am struggling to see why they are worth the carry. Why do you like them? (Please don't take this as an attack im genuinely curious)
@@stoli-9574 you ever found out the answer to your question? I always carry a regular 7in square, I can’t think of any single scenario where I was thinking “damn I wish I had a smaller square… Im also a minimalist, I don’t want to carry around shot I don’t need

IIRC Atlas 46 was founded by a guy who has a ton of experience building tactical gear for military and police buyers. well regarded from what i've seen.
military and police have nothing whatsoever to do with tradesmen. If he has experience making gear for military, then he will be absolutely worthless making gear for tradesmen.

I'm a fire sprinkler fitter it would be great if a company made a set of bags compatible with what we do like a pipe wrench holder like that hammer one that would be sweet love the video man keep it up
Check out Atlas 46 they do have setups for about every trade and magnet patches that are said to be strong enough for larger wrenches. Extremely expensive stuff but also worth it.
Hello Kyle, I was listening to the Fine homebuilding podcast. During the whole podcast, I kept saying, this voice sounds familiar. I didn't know it was you until you mentioned your TH-cam channel. I found you about a month ago and I have been watching all your videos on LP Smartsiding. (Getting ready to reside my house). I cant wait to go back and watch your post frame videos. Thanks for the great channel. Randall
I hope Martinez have a tool belt with the bag.(I don't like tools belt slied all the time. ), and when the new OX bag with the micro square set will available? I have smae problem could find a space for my micro square. I have the GRR one for 9 month, and I really like It.
Atlas 46 has been making tool belts for many years now. I have their vest and their padded tool belt as well as many, many of the pouches. Its all American made with military grade fabric and stitching and its indestructible (much like I would assume DB toolbelts are) Thje magnets on the hammer sheath are an Atlas 46 thing, not a Martinez thing. They have magnets in a ton of their pouches and they're handy as hell sometimes. And yes, you did transpose the 4 and 6 in their name quite a few times haha.
Atlas vest weighs 3 lbs LOL. Try the diamondback vest. I got the Diamondback 701 vest (1.1 lbs) and I through out my atlas46 saratoga vest (3.0 lbs) the next week. Atlas46 makes such garbage. I bought a lot of Atlas46 when I first started construction and carpentry... I since have learned that they are absolute trash and heavy as hell. I prefer my Blaklader work vest. I prefer my Snickers Work vest, and I REALLY prefer my Diamondback 701 vest to the super heavy stiff AF saratoga vest.
looks like a great bag if i can ever get mine , im 5 weeks out after i paid for it. even when it was supposed to be in stock, now they say it could be another 4 weeks.
Been waiting for this vid, & knew you’d eventually get to it. Been seeing the Martinez bag for awhile out in the “wild”, & looks pretty good, & glad Mark is expanding his products. Love the “tools” he designs & makes for us Happy Holidays 🎅🏻
Looks like a great pouch, but boy do I wish they made it more like a drywall size. My occidental drywall pouch is very versatile and carries about everything I need, even for electrical work. If they copied that design and added the hammer holder, that would be perfect for me. I could use this bag on the left side, but I would miss my 7" speed square.
@@RRBuildings : Cool story on Titanium, during the Cold War, I think it was the CIA created a shell company to buy Titanium from the USSR / Soviet Union so it could build the SR71 Blackbird, & spy on the very same country. Now that’s taking care of business like a boss.
Hey, I'll gladly wear any setup Atlas wants to provide this weekend when I'm working for my local Habitat for Humanity. We're just setting trusses and hitting it hard!
@@donb8447 they're king bet you're bags are still in good condition. Can you imagine paying 200$ for a speed square oh but it's got scribe marks on it and a saw wrench that sucks I use my finger a pencil and a tape measure to scribe a line hasn't failed me yet until I lose my fingers I guess and my saw comes with a wrench
@@chet174able my Swanson has served my needs well for 18 yrs... And yes they are!! I oil my bags 3 or 4 times a year, they have aged well over those yrs...
I enjoyed the video on the pouch, I even checked out the website. Good stuff. However, I've been looking for the Carpenter Framing Square w/ built-in stair gauges, that your body made a lot of videos back. I'm very interested in it, also I just finished your video series on Large Post Frame Build, Red with black wainscot, nice build. The bib that you and your guys wearing, could I get the link for them? They look like a quality product. Also, I thought I would mention, I like the fact that you take "rough framing" to another level. It tells me a lot about your standards. Thank you
Bad boy Kyle. So you have lost your Tajima. If your cost as much as mine, you better go find it boy. 😁🤣 I have a pouch on the front of my belt for my tape measure. (Also Tajima) 🙈🤫😁
This is sort of stepping into the premium. I get quality is important, but I often go back to the mid range price so I wouldn't feel so bad when I abuse them. When I think of Martinez, I think of those expensive hammers that people say a lot of good things about, but later find out they are not so perfect. I don't like that feeling where you pay a lot for something and later you find out there is something wrong with the tool because of major design/technical flaw.
I’ve heard of issues with the hammers, but I’ve beat my M1 to death and haven’t had a problem. Worth every penny considering all my tennis elbow issues have went away.
That's how i feel with my tb3 stilletto. It was a damn sight better than the hickory claw hammer i had but for the same price i should have got martinez hammer. My boss has it and it's phenomenal. And the occidental bags. They're pretty bulky but he's got everything you could possibly need.
What the brand of those single side tool belt that you show? I like it very much...that single side black color tool belt that have huge pockets...what brand name of it bro...I'm curious.
Hey Kyle, I love my Diamondback bags, I use the Artisan, but I am considering getting an OX pouch only for my LH side. I just need the organization for my right because I carry so many things. I would love to know if the micro square slot is a permanent option because I can not live without it. I know you can not speak for them, but if you find out please let us know. I appreciate your videos.
I don’t understand how there are so many belts with the tape on the right/tool pouch side. I wouldn’t be able to constantly grab my tape with my right hand and hand it over to my left to measure and mark
Great Video! I'm considering the Grrande setup and they look great. Are they as light as they look? I'm currently wearing 15 + year old Oxylights and would love to go even lighter if that's possible. I think you have by far the best info on TH-cam regarding Diamondback belts. Thanks a lot for the insight !
Do you actually use the micro square? Why do you carry the micro square as well as the regular size rapid square? I kinda want to get the the micro square, but I think it will be redundant.
Great review I'm deffinately grabbing one my problem is the actual belt I wear asize 50 waist pant and I cannot find a padded belt that fits my waist any suggestions thank you
Here in the nordic countries, we're really big on tool vests and I've been teetering on buying the Atlas46 Saratoga for a while. Have you looked into that system and or company or would that mess up your good relationship with diamondback?
That vest is really nice. I have it. Very versatile and pretty much no matter the type of work you do you can upfit it to your preferences. It gets hot though and I cant wear it in the summer, so i have the toolbelt too.
You got to have been in the trade for at least 25 years and be mortgage free to buy one of these belts. I’m sure you get them for free as part of the advertising deal
He's is the biggest primadona tool guy I've ever seen he does good work but takes to long on everything you can do quality work with good tools they don't have to be festool or some other expensive brand

Tool bag review. The exact diversion I needed from the election coverage.
Thats what I'm saying
I interpreted this as a pun
Yes , .me too. Thanks Kyle. Only thing better would be Gregory doing the tools day review . I want to know his opinion
Your comment reminded me to go check out the election coverage! Lol forgot all about it until just now
Trump won.
It seems like the removable magnet would also make it easier to clean out, not having permanently embedded metal grit
Man the magnets for the bit pouches is a great idea.
If the Diamondback pouches wear out before the end of my career I will go back to Occidental fat lip, greatest bags ever made hands down
I’ve always used an old school leather tool belt (20 years). I’m inspired to try your diamondback belt. Thanks for explaining everything so well
Should go with a badger belt
"I'm hoping I left it on site, cuz I have no idea where it is" is a reoccurring theme for me. 😂
A divider in the grande on the lower pouch would be killer, I have diamond back pouches on my harness and my hands are to big to get the nails out of the bottom 2 pouches
I don't know how you can switch often between pouches like that. Every time I try something new, I get so lost, it's like learning to walk all over again. lol
Yet, the more you do it, the easier it gets
Would it be weird if plumbers started using this? Just tool belts in general
I find myself reaching for my hammer in my day to day all the time lmao.
Just grab the head and slide it out the extra 15 inches or so makes the perfect poking/reaching stick 😂
I have watched this video more than 30 times no lie can’t wait to get mine.

I like the Menards pouches. Very inexpensive, many options, and life time warranty. When it breaks they give you a new one.
is that Masterforce?
I still use huge old leather bags & belts from the 1990's, lol 😊👍🇺🇸
That extra sleeve on the Ox would be prefect for my cell phone!
