I like the fact that you mentioned the dedicated speed square location, but did not mentioned anything about where you stick your hammer, a glaring omission. As a carpenter of 30 years, and presently looking for a new rig, would strongly base my decision to purchase on those two criteria. Very informative review. Thanks
I completely agree! I for what ever reason didn't think of it at the moment. The hammer location is great. Its a slightly angled holster to the rear. However I prefer the metal hoop style of the spec ops vest over the atlas vest. If I can devise a way to combine or use the hoop from the spec ops it'll be a great set-up. The holster on the atlas is sometimes a bit harder to understand holster is my reasoning for preferring the hoop style.
It’s smart. It’s more worker friendly and dispersed weight and helps with back and fatigue issues. It’s an Operator type set up. Don’t know the price range for y’all’s gear but It can easily be done with Combat , battle belt ect from army/ navy store or online. Excellent concept
I hired a former cav scout to my crew, he has back issues due to service related injuries and he says that these vest are way more comfortable and by far better on his back than the traditional tool belts!
Man this video must be old! You guys said it will run around $300 to get the Atlas vest fully equipped. Try $1,000 now at least! Good work though guys.
that’s what i was gonna say lol I paid $350 for the basic vest. $200 for the rigid belt. Then the impact holster and the tool pounces and magnets lol grand total was $833
I was going to say the same thing. The vest alone with nothing attached is about $400, unless you buy the bundle it's slightly cheaper around $700. The vest looks cool but the price on these items are a bit insane.
I've been making tool vests out of FLC vests for years. I actually see a lot of my ideas incorporated into your 2 vests. I don't have a TH-cam channel but always been meaning to start one to share my ideas and solutions. Contact me via pm and I will send you one of my vests to try out.
Daniel, thanks for the comment. I would be happy to try out your vest! Unfortunately I'm not aware of any way to private msg an account through TH-cam. Is there a specific platform that I could find you and message you directly?
@@danielbroadbelt1 yes, you can look me up under Bravo Company Home Improvements or got to our site www.bravocompanyhomeimprovements.com you can find links to.our social media on the website as well as info on how to contact me.
I used fishing for years.. Kind of limited. Just found this channel today. Just found out within the last 2 months that these tool vest even existed. This is great. I was in Cbs. Even in the military I never saw the tool vest. Just know flack vest great for add-ons. Times change. A tool belt has it's place. The tool vest is level up! Great video
Great video. Unfortunately it seems i found out about this 4 years too late. These vest are too over priced for my taste. A single large pouch is $300 plus tax.
I never use my Atlas vest rig anymore its practically new. Its too hot in warm weather and i plane just got sick of the tactical comments on it. I just purchased an Oxidental vest hopefully its cooler due to being more open. I hope i can sell my Atlas vest i had almost 400$ into it and all the pc's have doubled in price since i purchased.
Actually we worked in these outdoors in 105 degree weather this summer with high humidity and the mesh was very breathable along with the hydration bladder made it very doable in warm weather
Just the pencil holder is $60 A large pouch is $300. It hurt looking at that price point. Wanted to buy this but you need to be bringing alot of throw away revenue to pay that price with a strait face
Too much of a useless tool belt just purchase a good convention leather tool belt yep he's probably $300 but always better than that looks more like a garage Warrior type of deal
I'm always looking for a more efficient way to stay organized on the job site. Thanks for the thorough revew.
In low voltage those pouches might be ok for holding the variety of crimper and strippers I use on a daily basis.

Try the badger, diamondback and Occidental. Their top of the line. I have a mismatch set of all three and they’re the best.
I use the Spec Ops vest. Love it
Do you guys still use these atlas 46 vests?? Interested in long term review, if it’s something you would still recommend?? Nice video Gents!!
Thanks for the video. Where did you get those name badges from? I wanted to get some for my vest when I order it.
Amazon has them, my name tapes were issued to me when I was in.

It's very important to not have excess weight on the body, limiting the amount you have hanging off your body is a very good idea.
It’s important to stay lean
Never had those problems with my regular husky tool belt I have all my tools and pencils in place never drop anything and I’m a framer.
I like them. Sunny day in the summer shirt off. Busting a sweat get some work done 💪🏽
Great JOB! Thanks
Now i need one.

I wear size 30 pants and M shirt, what size vest can I buy?
Is this rig jump compatible?😁

We'll strap the 4' level to the back like a bazooka soilder!
LOL maybe we could get drop leg holsters for drills too HAHA
@@bravocompanyhomeimprovemen8742 ummm thats not a terrible idea
Good video thanks 4 the info

Did you see your vest? If not what do you have? Where are you located?
thanks for the vid
Oh i can put my AR there capo granades. Imagine working in a big contruction company and everyone staring at you like if you going to war .
"This isn't work, this is WAR!"
Lol for real nigga
Why "Bravo Comapny" on the left Tag? Hope you got some bucks off for the misspelling 😂
I have been wanting an atlas 46 rig for long time. Just dont have the extra money yet. Is that the small gun holster or large
That is the standard size, not the large
Can't justify 1k for a vest. Would have paid 3-400 you quoted though
When this video was made that was the cost of the setup. I can agree with you 100% the current prices have got a bit too high to justify currently
😎
That is what we call "mas puto" in the job site.
I'm getting one. Ever pocket will have cigarettes
Hardly noticeable in comparison to like being set on fire or something.
The spec ops looks like a chinese airsoft vest that is not specific to tools that you van find on the net for 25 bucks.
Oh man I’m spending a $1000 for my setup 😂
Too hot for Florida
Actually we worked in these outdoors in 105 degree weather this summer with high humidity and the mesh was very breathable along with the hydration bladder made it very doable in warm weather
Interesting. Thank you both for your service and the insight on the vest.
SMH... I'm not pay that kind of money just to look cool and carry extra weight...
They are pricey but they have increased our efficiency on the jobsite exponentially
Just the pencil holder is $60
A large pouch is $300. It hurt looking at that price point. Wanted to buy this but you need to be bringing alot of throw away revenue to pay that price with a strait face
Stans shetty bags extra weight
Too bad these damn things are just way too expensive
Occidental is the best
Silly looking plus you have to worry about if it gets lost along with all your other tools hmmmm I’ll pass...
Too much of a useless tool belt just purchase a good convention leather tool belt yep he's probably $300 but always better than that looks more like a garage Warrior type of deal
