Hi, thanks for the video!

Just for correction, Occidental Leather makes a drywall specific pouch, #5070! I use this drywall pouch, the two pocket fastener pouch, the 3" belt, a tape holder, high back hammer holder, hip buddies and the suspenders. Have had it for over 15 years now and there is no wear on the leather other then some discolouration. The set up is heavier then nylon but I'm so used to it and it makes no difference with the suspenders. Also, the pouches hold their shape very well.

The drywall pouch holds snips, rasp, circle cutout tool, fixed blade knife, multi bit screw driver, hammer (on the pouch or in the high back hammer holder at the back of the belt), small chalk box, jab saw, pencils, markers, small board lifter, pliers, cutters and any other small tools you may need. Some of these are not always in the pouch because of space and weight but they end up in there at some point. The pouch has a small foot print and is light, perfect for moving up and down drywall benches and what not.

The fastener pouch holds a square, pry-bar, combination-square, tape if you wish (I prefer to keep mine in a separate holder at the back-side of the belt), beater chisel, bits, small level if needed, cut-out tool bits, and other small tools. I also normally keep two types of screws in there as well.

I also have an additional smaller two pocket pouch I can add to the back of the belt when needing more items.

I hook my screw gun and the cut-out tool on the belt. Back or front depending on if I work at height or not.

I like the Milwaukee set up in general but since I am already well equipped in Occidentals, I never looked at the belt until recently. I also have two other leather Occidental belts with suspenders for other purposes.

I’m an electrician. I was considering this. Looks good, I’m using an impact driver and regular tools

Hi, I would just like to suggest trying out a cordless drill “holster”. I use one made by CLC and it’s much more comfortable than just clipping the gun on your belt. It’s not expensive, about $15.

Occidental leather makes amazing pouches for drywall

Akribis leather, give them a look. Being a Canadian as well as you guys it's best to support your fellow countryman.

I work installing conveyors and a lot of nuts and bolts really I just wish they make a pouch with a zipper! Or something so you don't gotta worry about laying down or something and all your nuts and bolts suddenly all over the floor

your tape should go on the left if your right handed and same thing with your square, you writes with your right hand don't ya? lol

They are designed bad. The pockets are so small and tight. I see yours is too. Had mines for some time and unlike my other bags that break in fairly quick, the bags come with pockets opened up from the beginning unlike Milwaukee. I even soaked them and hung um with dumbbells in the pockets to the stretch them open a bit more but to no avail. I was bummed cause I liked how they look

Occidental makes a set of bags just for drywall and drywall only

The belt doesn't work with toughbuilt clips

How do you like the Bosch drywall gun? No reviews anywhere.
