I could use a helper that looked like that for sure.

I'm sure your wife would be happy to know that.

Does Red Wing make a stiletto heel in steel toe?

I don't wear a tool pouch if I can help it. In the majority of cases I only require 5 hand tools for any give task........my pouch will be on the floor somewhere if I need anything else. Working on the boats for 7 years, wearing a pouch was forbidden due to damage to finished product, so I learned to know what I need for a task. I now wear the carhart pants with lots of pockets, or combat pants with huge pockets.

Settle down boys, she is just a helper right?. And besides that one has Hepatitis C........

william1978

You are correct, but in that picture she is easy on the eyes unlike some of her more recent pictures.

I've had this thing for about five years or so, home cheapo special. I'm doing a rough in now so i don't keep many tools on my bags.

steelersman

I still have the same pouch and I've had it for about 10 years now except mine is all black. It doesn't have the blue on it.

If I had the money, I'd get a pouch custom made by a leather crafter.

I'm using a rectangular Husky tool tote. Easy access to your tools. Just got a Carhart nail pouch I'm going to try out for tools I need at hand and a few screws and what not. Full tool bags around the waist are for young kids or dumb electricians.

Rudeboy

I try and keep what I need for the job I'm doing that day around my waist so i have access to those tools and screws, fittings, wirenuts etc that I know i'm going to need. I agree that having every tool you own on your waist is overkill but that has nothing to do with being smart or dumb or young or old. If all you do is ream pipe all day then all you need is a reamer. But if you're an electrician and you do multiple tasks during a day you need the tools for those tasks on you at all times. it's not efficient to go back to your tote every time to get tools because you can't shoot them all in your pants. the only time I don't wear my bags is if i'm doing a service call or if I'm in a finished building.

The only thing I will wear is a nail apron. The rest are in a soft case or bucket. Doctors orders.

Your orthopedic surgeon is going to like you someday! Everyone can pack whatever they want but the fact is that I see very few older electricians because injuries take them out of the trade. Yes, I do think it's shortsighted to pack around extra weight that you don't need to have, potentialing damaging your knees and or back because you percieve that it might slow you down a little to have a tool box with you along with your pouch.

Rudeboy

I think it all depends on what work you're doing. I like wearing my bags because it saves me time but I also think it saves me from bending down to pick up tools all day long or climbing down the ladder because i forgot something i needed and then climbing up again. But, i admit bags on your waist can get heavy so i try and make a point of not overloading.
