Looking for Tool Advice

[Rob Amaral]

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??

I rely on pockets deep enough to not spill contents, and carabiner to hold camera pouch. Maybe some extra-pocket cargo pants.

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.

I used to use something similar, but couldn't find them anymore.

Moved to this several years ago and haven't looked back:

Vests are nice for this gig. I started feeling too much like inspector gadget though, and shifted down to Levi's cargo pants.

Lower left pocket, next to my left hand at rest.

Now I'm tempted to buy one. Can I bill you for it?

Only if we barter for goods in exchange.

I like beignets and muffulettas.

Don't forget to factor in use tax on the beignet and muffuletta.

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.
