Tool Belts

[Four Paws]

What do you guys wear to carry your wedges, scrench, screwdriver/allan keys, extra chains? Or do you cut from your truck? Just curious, as it would sure be handy to have a tool belt at times.

I don't like anything like a tool belt in the way. I suppose I could wear one and take it off at the actual cutting site, which isn't a bad idea. I just don't like anything hanging off me when running the saw. I suppose someone up in a tree might have a different idea...that's not me, I only am cutting down standing dead trees and then sectioning them with my feet on terra firma.

If I am falling I take my belt that has a wedge pouch on it, this also holds a scrench, files and a tape. You can get a wedge pouch from a chainsaw dealer (here you can anyways), they go on any belt, I use an old safety belt.

I use a BUCKET BOSS TOOL BELT when i am doing my felling and also when bucking larger trunks and like to kee the wedges and tools handy . I take off the belt when the tree is down and hang it close . The suspenders make it light weight when in use . The nice thing about a tool belt is you can take it off with little effort and still hang it in a handy spot . http://cgi.ebay.com/BUCKET-BOSS-TOO...2QQihZ004QQcategoryZ42362QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I just stuff the wrench, carb screwdriver, spare bar nuts and a small wedge in the leg pocket of my chaps. The rest of the junk - chains, big wedges, small axe, water bottle, files, lunch, whatever, in one of those neat Lowes plastic shopping baskets (hand carry, NOT the cart!!!) - the one I'll take back one day..

I just through a wedge or two in my hip pocket and a scrench and file in my pliers pocket, tape in pocket on the chaps. I carry fuel and oil with me along with a single bit. I don't think I would like anything around my waist, but I have gave those wedge holsters a look.

Wedges, scrench, files, stump vise, Spencer tape, fire extinguisher, plumb bob, and sometimes an EPIRB.

I carry it all in this-

I see the suspenders in the picture , on the tool belt or on the pants seems to be a must with all the extra **** one takes along .

Ah, mine are just for the pants and to hold the shoulder pad. And the belt really isn't all that heavy. I forget I have it on alot of times.

I have a simular belt SWE#kipp but mine as a fuel and oil can as well. Great when your working in the steep stuff, or far from the truck

This belt, tool holders, piling hook and lifting tongs are all available from Husqvarna USA. The lifting tongs (right side) and piling hook (left side) work pretty well for moving smaller logs, firewood, etc.

Well, I decided to go with something like this.

Might get a belt in the future, but I will try the bucket for now. Heck, it will be more organized and easier to carry that the milk crate I have been using. Just a weekend warrior firewood cutter here - don't need anything fancy. I need to find a lid for it though, so I can sit and eat my lunch!!

Thanks for your input guys!
