Frequently asked questions: Wearable Tool Belts and Technical Backpacks
Which tool belt should I choose for work on site?

The belt should be chosen according to the number of tools to carry and their weight. Belts with many pockets, such as the 15-pocket tool belt, suit those who keep many tools within reach, while a belt with a double pocket is enough for lighter work. Check that the belt adjusts well at the waist and stays stable when you move or bend.

Leather or technical fabric: which material should I choose for a work belt?

Leather is durable, adapts to the body over time and ages well, but it is heavier and needs care. Technical fabric is light, easy to clean and copes well with moisture. The catalogue includes ranch leather, nylon and fabric belts. Choose according to the work, the environment and how often the belt is used.

How do I carry a hammer, drill and scissors safely on a belt?

Use holsters and hammer holders with a secure fastening, so that the tools do not fall out during movement. The swinging hammer loop and the fixed one keep the hammer in position. Arrange tools with the point protected or facing inwards, and do not overload the belt. The drill goes in its dedicated holster, such as the 531TB drill holster.

Which pockets are needed for nails, screws and small hardware?

The nail pocket and the multi-purpose pocket keep screws, nails and small accessories within reach without losing them. The belt pocket lets you add one more tool. If you often work at height or on the move, choose pockets with closures and a reinforced base, so that the small hardware does not fall out. Arrange the pockets according to regular use.

Technical backpack or carpenter's bag: which should I choose?

A technical backpack spreads the weight across the shoulders and leaves your hands free, useful for walking or using ladders. A carpenter's bag sits on the shoulder or hip and is quicker to open and close. The catalogue includes technical backpacks, including high-visibility models. Choose according to the weight to carry and the type of movements.

How do I clean and store a leather belt?

Clean the belt with a dry cloth after use, removing dust and traces of mortar or adhesive. Keep the leather away from prolonged wetness and direct heat. Feed it occasionally with a product suitable for leather, so that it does not dry out. Store the belt hung up or folded, without crushing the pockets.

Do tool belts protect against the risk of falling?

A tool belt is not a fall-arrest device: it holds tools, not the body. For work at height, harnesses and anchorage systems that comply with the standards are required, as set out in D.Lgs. 81/2008 (the Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 on workplace safety). Use the belt for tools and not as an attachment point.
