Best Electrician Tool Belts

The Gatorback B240 is a little expensive, no two ways about it. Taking into account everything that this tool belt is bringing to the table though, the price is more than justified.

To start with, the stress points have been reinforced with robust bar-tack stitching and high-strength metal rivets, ensuring that the pockets do not start tearing out anytime soon. Next, we have high-density nylon webbing sewn around the pouches, making them more durable and preventing fraying that usually comes from constant use. We can also talk about the plastic insert sewn between the 1250 DuraTek nylon panels to make sure that the belt retains its shape and that the tools do not poke through.

Instead though, we'll talk about the Pro-Comfort™ memory foam back support pads. First, ergonomically molded and shaped, these pads provide ample back support and ensure long-term comfort. Second, the air channels between the pads promote airflow under the belt, reducing sweating and preventing overheating.

You also have a hammer loop, tape chain, carry handles, and metal suspender rings increasing the belt's utility and the seamless rounded box design maximizing the pouches' space.

Frankly, there's more here than most electrician tool belts are even considering but, even without going into the more minute details and counting only the things we have outlined above, the Gatorback B240 runs circles around its supposed competition.

The DeWalt DG5641 is an adjustable work apron that fits framers, electricians, and various tradesmen alike. Incorporating adjustable padded suspenders, the belt lets you ensure that the weight is distributed evenly, preventing stress and discomfort during prolonged projects.

Between 20 pockets and multiple sleeves designed to accommodate nails, pencils, speed squares, different tools and parts, this tool belt enables you to bring every tool, instrument, and accessory with you so that you're always prepared despite what the job might entail. Design-wise, the biggest difference between this model and electrician tool belts from different companies is the large, gusset-style pockets that provide extra capacity and ensure easy access to the tools inside.

Albeit not as noticeable, the utility knife pocket could be described as the belt's biggest standout feature, preventing accidental pouch punctures and prolonging its service life. That being said, the patented pouch handle is also quite neat, enabling easy belt adjustments as well as hassle-free one-hand carrying.

The CLC Custom Leathercraft 1608 can easily trade blows with its more expensive contemporaries from brands like DeWalt and Gatorback without cutting any substantial corners. The suspenders on this belt, though padded as well, are not as easy to adjust as the suspenders on the belts above but, apart from that, this model is not trailing behind them.

Offering 2 pouches with 28 pockets, the belt offers comparable compartmentalization opportunities. Among these pockets is even this nice little cordless drill pocket that can hold sizable power tools and keep them within reach. Now, there's nothing interesting about the hammer loop but the same cannot be said about the tape strap, making sure that you can easily access duct tape without rummaging through stuffed pockets.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned suspenders will enable easy weight distribution, so you can work hours without blowing your back and stressing the hips. Last but not least, the convenient carry handle will ensure simple adjustments and contribute easy storage without spilling contents.

All things considered, assuming you're fine with the somewhat awkward suspenders, the CLC Custom Leathercraft 1608 will give you the same comfort, support, and utility features that the more expensive electrician tool belts are offering.

As great as tool belts with 20+ pockets can be, you seldom need them all on the site. More often than not, 1 pouch with ~5 pockets will suffice, which is where this 5-pocket single-side tool belt from Dickies is coming in.

Endowed with 2 main pockets (the largest ones), 2 small slip pockets, 1 plier-type pocket, and 1 screwdriver-sized tool loop, the belt will allow you to keep multiple tools and accessories organized without weighing you down with unnecessary pouches and pockets.

Not unlike its more sizable competition, this single-side electrical tool pouch also lets you customize the fit, accommodating waists between 32 and 52 inches. What's even more important though is that, between the heavy-duty canvas, high-impact plastic buckle, and the pockets reinforced with high-strength webbing, the belt lasts. Sure, despite its high-impact construction, the plastic buckle is not as sturdy as its steel peers but it is still nothing to scoff at. Plus, the double-stitched canvas is extra-resistant against ripping and tearing out and is pretty good at retaining its shape too.

Long story short, this single-side work apron from Dickies will work wonders holding the necessary tools until the job's done and for many more to come.

The TradeGear PART#SZA Electrician Belt is thorough. Equipped with 2 pouches that hold 27 pockets, this work belt lets you forget about worrying which tool to bring with you since you can probably bring them all. Aside from the spacious pockets, the model also features a standard hammer loop and a tape loop, so you can have them always within reach. To add more, you're offered 4 suspender-to-belt attachment loops and D-ring attachments, so you can carry more hammers, wrenches, markers, grips, pliers, you name the tool.

Because they have been designed extra spacious, the pouches are also quite bulky, but the ergonomic design that's been coupled with high-density foam padding and mesh inserts make up for it, ensuring sufficient back support, absorbing pressure, and keeping the back breathable.

From the construction angle, the belt's made from heavy-duty 600D nylon, double-layered and reinforced via bar-tak stitching and high-strength metal rivets. Owing to these elements, the belt remains lightweight yet resilient, handling heavy loads without showing.

To sum up, the TradeGear PART#SZA Electrician Belt allows you to remain prepared, working long hours and keeping most-used, must-have tools within an arm's length.
