Tool belts and pouches are a real time-saver when it comes to hands-free working. Ever struggled trying to hold extra tools as you work? Or put them down, only to forget where you left them? These problems are a thing of the past with a tool belt pouch.

While a work belt is more of a traditional option for comfortably holding up trousers, a tool belt or work pouch is designed with practicality in mind. It offers multiple compartments for the convenient storage of all your most-used hand tools and small equipment – and makes sure they’re always within easy reach.

Tool Belts

Tool belts are the go-to choice for so many trade pros who need a variety of tools ready to grab at a moment’s notice. It’s a particularly popular option if you’re working in tricky or challenging locations where it’s not possible to put your tools down, such as on a roof – a roofing tool belt lets you keep all your equipment and fixings close by.

Wearing a tool belt will also help you become far more organised, enabling you to work efficiently and finish the job quicker. Gone are the days when you’re rummaging through a tool box or shelves to find what you need – everything will be within easy reach around your waist.

Tool Pouches

Wearing a tool pouch is a great alternative if you only need to carry a small amount of tools or equipment. While a tool belt is worn all the way around your waist, a work pouch is generally attached to a belt or waistband.

Tool pouches have fewer pockets than a tool belt, and will often just have one larger compartment with a zip or flap opening – this makes them more of a lightweight option that’s easy to carry and versatile enough for a variety of trades.

Choose a nail pouch to keep a collection of fixings or fasteners within easy reach, or a specialist work pouch to suit your trade – at Toolstation, you’ll find everything from a roofing pouch to a carpenter’s pouch.
