Rob Amaral Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi folks.. I've been using a system of sacks from "Eagle Creek" (a la 1990's) that looped over my work-belt... It's worked great.. The sacks are worn-out as hell.. and I need to upgrade.. I liked the sacks because they are relatively deep, not open 'cups' and with all the crawls, attics and bending over we do, I've rarely lost a tool 'out of the sack' (forgot-behind?? Yes!!) Eagle creek does not make these anymore... I keep seeing 'open-cup' type systems..not sacks ... Any thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I rely on pockets deep enough to not spill contents, and carabiner to hold camera pouch. Maybe some extra-pocket cargo pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Kienitz Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Maybe a local tailor could craft you some new ones with the old ones as a template? How about: Stella's Tailoring & Dry Cleaning 754 Main Street Walpole, MA 02081 508-668-0955 Just a thought. NO, I don't know them. I just did a quick search.

kurt Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Vests are nice for this gig. I started feeling too much like inspector gadget though, and shifted down to Levi's cargo pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Don't forget to factor in use tax on the beignet and muffuletta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I was using canvas type clip on pouches from Lowes several years ago. But they always got holes in them after awhile. Went to a leather maker, he laid out and made me a custom pouch that clips onto my belt. It holds all the stuff I use regularly (every inspection) so I always want it on me. $100 bucks or so and it's been years since I've had a problem with pouches. One of these days, I'll have to see if I can find the picture of me when I first started. Two big electrician pouches full of stuff on a belt. Dang, I looked good and ready for anything.
