Product Questions
How do I figure out my belt size?
To size your tool belt, place your existing tool belt on an even surface and measure it from the end of the buckle to the most commonly used hole. Select the belt size (by mid range) that is closest to your measurement.
If you do not have a current tool belt to measure, you can get an approximate mid range measurement by adding 4" to your pant waist size.
| Size | Mid Range |
Approx. Pant Waist |
| Small | 34" | (29" to 32") |
| Medium | 37" | (33" to 35") |
| Large | 41" | (36" to 39") |
| X-Large | 45" | (40" to 44") |
| XX-Large | 49" | (45" to 49") |
| XXX-Large | 53" | (50" to 54") |
How do I attach the 1546, 5055 or the 5009 suspenders to a tool belt?
To attach the suspenders to your belt, slide the loops onto your belt, with the D rings facing up. Then clip the suspenders to the D rings with the open end of the clip facing away from your body. |
 |
Included in this package are directions and hardware (copper rivets, "D" rings, clips, and leather straps).
Method 1: The leather straps may be made into 3" loops that slide onto your tool belt. The "D" ring will be on top so that you can clip on your suspenders.
Method 2: The clip and "D" hardware may be permanently attached to your existing tool belt using the copper rivets.
You May choose either method to suit your needs.
I want to modify my current leather 5009 suspenders so they are just like your Stronghold® suspenders. Can I just buy the padded Cordura® yoke?
What do you mean by "Hand Specific" design?
The tool bag holds the tools most often accessed with the right hand (hammer, pencils, retractable knife, etc.) and is worn of the right side of the body.
The fastener bag holds the tools and fasteners most often used with the left hand (nail sets, driver bits, angle square, etc.) and is worn of the left side of the body.
I'm left-handed and nothing seems to work for me. Can you help?
Separate product codes are listed for the left-hand models available. These codes use the suffix " LH ". EXAMPLE: 5089LH
Visit our left handed products pages.
What's the difference between your Cordura® and all leather bags? Which wears better?
Cordura® does has an advantage in its lighter weight. Yet, no fabric, regardless of how tough it is will ever perform like leather. Leather forms not only to your body and tools, it "remembers" your work habits and becomes a part of how you move and work. Leather tool systems wear in (not out) and become more comfortable and functional over time. Also lets face it, nothing feels like leather.
What products are recommend to condition leather bags?
For occasional cleaning purposes (about once a year), we recommend using a leather cleaner, saddle soap, or warm soap and water. You should follow this with a light application of a non-oil based leather conditioner or a light coating of petroleum jelly. (Some oils and oil based conditioners may decompose threads and shorten the life of the leather)
Remember to always wash mud, concrete, etc. from leather surfaces with a damp cloth before it drys and draws out the natural oils in the leather.
