I have used Klein pouches in the past...but I bought an Ideal 35-950 about 5 years ago and it's still going strong. The nice thing is that the dividers go ALL the way to the bottom of the pouch, that way your tools don't go sideways all the time and stay organized. It also has about 8 screwdriver slots in the back to keep everything in it's place. The only downside, is the handle on the pouch. VERY uncomfy to wear around the waist for any long period of time.

On days that I do not have to carry a full load of tools I have been using this Rack-A-Tiers Butt Pounch and I like it! I slip it into my back pocket and it is very light and convenient! Plus if you have a big belly like me it is nice to have the tools out from under my waist!

if you are a journeyman, you do not need a tool pouch. just apprentices.
plus why carry forty pounds of tools that only requires three tools to do a specific job duty.

I use the greenlee pouch for my tools + hammer
I use the other pouch for screws, straps, wirenuts, connectors
And the hammer holder for my small 12v drill. It fits perfectly in the ring

I have to agree with him to a point. Usually my tools will be on a cart. I use a Carhartt apron with a small leather pouch for a couple screw drivers, linemans, and tick tracer. I got stripper, wirenuts, ground screws, redheads, etc. in the apron.
If I'm terminating or doing some type of circuitry I'll wear that setup, but when I'm doing pipe work my back pockets are usually more than enough to hold the tools that I need. Or if I'm roughing in I can fit those tools in my back pocket as well.
I'm not the kind of person who walks back and forth and I hate to see someone doing that. However, I don't understand why some people wear a big pouch with 23 tools when they know they are not going to need it. If you think there is a possibility of using it then take it with you, if not leave it in your tool bag 15 feet away. If you're a good worker who is producing, no one is going to care.

Electrical Pouch
I like the Craftsman dark oil tan pouch. It has 3 screwdriver pockets 1 Phil, 1 Str and 1 for a 6 way plus it has a loop for a flashlight a must when working under machines. I also carry a small meter and all the must tools. Lowes has one just like it, it's soft leather and for 30 bucks its a good value.

A pocket caddy is nice for just a few tools, keeps you from messing up your pockets, and we always carry a Lock-Out kit too. We still most of the time use a tool pouch tho... I never seem to know just the min of tools I will need.

It's tough to beat CLC's quality, and they have tons of options as far as belts and bags, it's just tough finding a retailer with an assortment to choose from
