Guy at work introduced me to akribis back in the fall. Sweet belt systems, just need deep pockets to purchase. He knew as well that I'm a saddlebag guy who's right handed, but keeps his tape on the left; he showed me he switched to the same system I use and also prefers that system
@@RemarkableWoodworks saddlebags is the term we use here for having side pockets. Mine consists of a tool bag on the right side that contains by hammer, snips, pencil, quick square and knife. My left side is my nail bag, but I have one pocket dedicated to my tape for quick drawing. With that configuration I have a gun hook hanging off my back that I can either hang a drill, impact or various air nailer.
Thank you! One of the best tool review videos I've ever seen. My work scope and flow, and the tools I use happen to be almost identical to yours, and based on your clearly detailed presentation, I feel almost as though I have already had the product in my hands. Great job!
@@RemarkableWoodworks Follow up: I got my order in to Akribis this morning. Whoo Hoo! Thanks mostly to your review (and then further study at the Akribis site), I was able to configure a 13 item order with full confidence I knew exactly what to get to fit my work flow perfectly.
Really happy I stumbled across your video. Been looking everywhere for tool belts for my new job as an apprentice carpenter starting in a week. None were able to meet my needs until I found this. Thank you!
I've already seen this video, but it got recommended to me in my feed, and I'm not not going to give you that algorithm bump of clicking on the thumbnail. Nice video bro!
Second time watching your video. Love it. Strongly considering going with Akribis. I know you showed the drill hook briefly but that is a feature I’m really interested in and I haven’t been able to find any videos that show how well it really works. It’s seems like something no one else is doing and if it is really secure it might seal the deal for me. Any chance you could make a short video showing how much moving around it can handle without the drill falling out?
Thanks, that was helpful. I had dismissed him [akribis] in part because he wears his tool belt backwards. First time seeing one of your episodes and I subscribed. On one condition: use a wider screen and/or setup further from your camera
Loved the video.. Coffee holder-hellyeah, reoganizing for fit and function awesome. Loved the tool storage. I love dewalt tools and milwaukee bits and accessories. They got good tools too. I just stick to the vr lineup and keep upgraded practical. God bless
@@RemarkableWoodworks I loved the way you organized all the tools from your tool belt into the drawer case. It was really interesting how you keep the guns in the top box, but it makes sense. I use my top box as my "go box", all the EDC tools, EXCEPT for the gunz. but I can see it make sense. It just can't connect with anything, so it's the first thing I grab if I need to go on site. Just interested in your set up
I intend to place an order asap for an Akribis setup almost exactly like yours. (I will go for the LT2Max; I most often carry two types of fastener.) Could you possibly post a list of all the Akribis components one would order to duplicate what you have? Thanks.
For sure man, do you have IG? I can DM you a closer look at whatever you’re thinking about. Or send me an email and I’ll send you the list of stuff that I ordered: remarkablewoodworks@gmail.com
Duuude awesome set up. I have gotten so mean different tool belts. I have had my tape in the same spot as you on almost all of them. I’m definitely going to check out Your recommendation on a custom tool belt. thank you
@@RemarkableWoodworks I ordered today! This video introduced me to this company and sold me. Didn't get the whole set like yours though. Just got the super belt, belt pad, the same left side bag and the suspender Loops. I'll want the suspenders too, but I'll get that next time. How long did the shipping take?
Thanks for this great video, I've been studying it trying to figure out every detail as I go through the ordering process haha. Just wondering if you ordered the medium or large belt pad? Thanks
I enjoyed your video and always like your choice of music. Wondering if you used the theme song from, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly when you were modeling the belt how people would react??
I like your video. My son is a carpenter as well. He has buttons that unsnap on his harness. Does your hooks undo themselves? Where do I purchase your type of harness?
Hey! I realize I’m extremely late here, but I can’t find reviews of that exact suspender you’re using. Did you find it uncomfortable to break in? Is it sweaty? Does the lack of padding cause it to dig in anywhere? I’m interested in trying that style but don’t want to get into something I’ll regret. It looks amazing, but just wanted to ask someone before I buy. Cheers!!
Thanks for the review. I was gona buy a gatorback belt made in the states but much rather buy Canadian since I’m from Ontario. I find metal hammer holders noisy and that leather angled one got my attention. Then you showed the hidden tool hook. 🤯 I was sold. I had my last belt for 17 years so although they are pricey it’s totally worth it. Will have to wait cause the store is closed for now due to high demand. I subscribed to your channel, I’m a commercial plumbing and will soon have a channel too. Keep up the great work! ❤️🇨🇦
Hey buddy!!, thanks very much for the video I just being very frustrating trying to find the right tool belt for me. I hate big tool belt and I trying to figure out how get my hammer in angle in my original simply kuny's but after this video I know the solution. cheers from the west coast
Enjoyed the tool belt review, great setup! I like the location of the measuring tape being front right. Have you ever had Occidental stronghold suspender? How do the akribis suspender stack up? Weight, heat from full learher padding, quality of buckles and clasp?
That hook is awesome. I've been looking for a drill/driver/impact holster for my current belt, and haven't been able to. Then I found the Spider Holster and didn't know how that would work. But that metal J hook looks like it would be perfect. Does it hold the tools firmly when you're running or climbing around? Have you ever had a tool fall out of it?
I'll never have to check out the spider holster! but I've honestly never had any issues with the metal hook that Luke designed. it locks in really well on my Dewalt gun. I haven't used it with a Makita or Milwaukee - and if you run rigid or ryobi, I don't think this is the belt for you lol
you want more pockets on the right side, typically. when you a framing, you are usually away from your toolboxes, so you try to carry more stuff on you. plus you aren't so much worried about bumping into finished material like you would be if you are working inside around new cabinets etc. framing = bigger bags and more tool storage. interior = as small set up as possible with more everyday stuff - does that make sense?
I would like to be an apprentice and applied for the program but i started my program I have to get hired in order to get a Letter of intent which should be attached with the application. And I scan around to find someone who can hire me. I found some local contractor and called, they asked me Do you have any prior experience and i honestly said NO. They said we will call you back, but never. So I wish I have super power.
Question, I just bought an estwing cats paw/pry bar combination thing I’m not sure what to call it. It has a cats paw on one end and a prying bar/nail puller on the other and is 10 inches long. Is that ideal for any prying and or nail pulling necessities?
I have one too, I basically only use it when we replace flooring. It’s great to slide along the sub floor to feel for staples or screws. I like the regular nail puller more than a cats paw though. It’s all personal preference.
hey bro, nice video... carpenter here in aus. How much did that exact setup cost in your video? got some back issues too thinking of getting one of these made and shipped over
Watching this roughly a year from when you posted. Belt looks great! How is it holding up currently? Have you made changes to your belt setup? I’ve been trying to find a belt that I’m pleased with. Currently building a new setup with Atlas46 but saw your video and was intrigued.
I realize your comment was a year ago, but I'll chime in anyway. I've used all sorts of belts, from inexpensive to several hundred dollar set ups. I am currently using the Husky Contractor's rig with suspenders. To be honest, it is one of the better belts I have ever used, and it has been holding strong for a few years now, and not one pocket, stitch, Velcro, buckle etc. has failed. I will say that I don't have to worry about any of the leather pouches wearing through. Also, since this belt was reasonably priced, I don't have to worry about it growing legs and walking away. I had a really nice Occidental set up do just that a few years back. But my wife and daughter bought this Husky belt for me for father's day a few years ago, and it is quite nice and as I said, durable. I can add or subtract pockets or other elements or even adjust or rearrange them quickly and easily. Sure, they only have a 3 year warranty, but I have never had any issues with it from the beginning. Not only that, but I have never had any issue with any HD taking anything back or exchanging. But even if they didn't, I can buy my current set up again for less than $100, so this set doesn't owe me anything, at all.
As a left-handed catholic who is now thanks to nuns nearly ambidex, I still don't have the perfect belt. Maybe custom is the way. If you're in the leather business and need a review, I'll take that deal 😂.
Akribis leather I could see it was one of Lukes belts the craftsmanship is truly remarkable

Thanks buddy!
Yeah dude Luke's the man great set up.
He’s such a legend. And, his stuff is TOO legit!

Most important tool - hands down!
I need to buy this belt now! Would love a video of your DeWalt box u store your tools in, need to build that set up also
Damn I’m sold looks good and hella useful
Great belt. as for the suspenders, I got them after having to have a hip replaced due to my electrical pouch pushing on my hip all day.
Yeah I’ll never not wear straps. My back is back enough in my 30s lol

what size belt and pad you went with
i appreciate this video. It is one of a few reviews for the akribis tool belts. I have a question can you tell me the size of the belt pad?
Means a lot man! Thank you! Width you mean? It’s 4 1/8” wide if that’s what you mean.
@@RemarkableWoodworks what the 6:19 button buckle called
how does a pipe wrench do on the slanted hammer holster. I'm a sprinkler fitter.
I'd love to get one, but how much would customs for shipping to the USA be?
Have you noticed the left main bag open up much or sag?! I've noticed that with leather but looking to switch back to leather from diamondback bags
I’ve had the bags for 10 months and zero sag. Mind you I don’t where them every day but often enough to break them in and they’re still solid

He’s not wrong.... here’s the website: akribisleather.com/ his name is Luke
That hook is awesome. I've been looking for a drill/driver/impact holster for my current belt, and haven't been able to. Then I found the Spider Holster and didn't know how that would work. But that metal J hook looks like it would be perfect. Does it hold the tools firmly when you're running or climbing around? Have you ever had a tool fall out of it?
The drill has a possibility of falling out with the hook. I use the spider holster and set it on lock so it never falls off and it’s easily taken off.
I'll never have to check out the spider holster! but I've honestly never had any issues with the metal hook that Luke designed. it locks in really well on my Dewalt gun. I haven't used it with a Makita or Milwaukee - and if you run rigid or ryobi, I don't think this is the belt for you lol
@@RemarkableWoodworks Only Milwaukee.
OMG boxes too
Dude where do you hold your nails??
There’s an additional add in I bought for strip nails that I clip onto the back
Wht would the best set up be for a famer or and builder
you want more pockets on the right side, typically. when you a framing, you are usually away from your toolboxes, so you try to carry more stuff on you. plus you aren't so much worried about bumping into finished material like you would be if you are working inside around new cabinets etc. framing = bigger bags and more tool storage. interior = as small set up as possible with more everyday stuff - does that make sense?
You got a pocket on that left side that would hold a chisel nice and snug so it won't cause any damage?
There’s a looped holder for a chisel on the left side. Takes a bit to break it but the leather is crazy thick. No damage thus far
Thts so cool I want one
thanks Norton!

Hey Ashely, they should have it on the website
6:38 sorry, but distributing the weight away from the hips onto your shoulders should make your back issues worse, no ?
Love the video and the belt. I would suggest not keeping your drill or anything big on the small of your back. One fall and it could paralyze you.
That’s solid advice! Appreciate it!
