Leather Tape Measure Holder (Black)

Works good,easy to use, good durability

Great product! not cheap leather! It is winter here but it is already starting to mold to the curve of my waist. It’ll be great once fully broken in!

I bought this holder almost 3 years ago. I'm a proud union sheet metal worker. I utilize this holder all day every day and it has yet to show any signs of wear or fatigue. The fact that this was American made and is of such high quality is a point of pride having it on my hip every day. Products like this just make it that much easier to make sure you're looking for that "Made in USA" label. I will definitely be purchasing another ......if this one ever wears out before I retire.

So its sleek, it's innovative and will save ur pants from ripping off....I got it to replace an old design fromother brand and country of production that got discontinued. First I thou this would be nicer since the other unit it was alil tacky, but I was wrong.I figured that whenever I get bend over to get up or down from a place, hole, trench, equipment, truck.... the tape will pop out due to my outter thigh pushing it up as I do the climbing down and up movement.Sometimes bending to pick up something will do it too but... that I think has to do with where I position the clip on my belt....

Well, as for Warmth, listed in the ratings, I was never cold when I tried this. Seriously, this is a superior product that I expect to last for the rest of my life. I found it very easy to hang not only my large and bulky fatmax tapes on this thing, but also the hooks on my battery powered tools. The catch does not hold the tapes quite as securely as placing them directly on a belt (on a ladder), but they are orders of magnitude easier to retrieve and replace which would make working on the ground a pure joy.

This is an awesome little belt gadget. I use it at work to hold my 3/8" cordless impact wrench via its belt clip (instead of a tape measure). It is much faster and easier to hook onto than just your belt--I can slip the impact on one-handed without looking. I like that the holder is up at belt level so that it doesn't flop around like the drop-down tape holders.The leather is super thick and seems to be nicely tanned. Like most tool-grade leathers, it is stiff, but conformed to my belt quickly. It doesn't show any sagging with a 4lb tool hanging off, even though it is made with a tape measure in mind. All the rivets are tight and placed well. It came with a branded drink koozie and a handwritten note.

Honestly I never liked the idea of a holder, but after destroying so many pockets on carhartts i finally gave in. I’ve only been using it for a couple days now and overall I like it. I purchased the snap on one and the only issue I have with it so far is the snaps keep popping open. The holder isn’t falling off or anything because it’s over the belt, but having to keep snapping it back together is getting a little annoying. That’s why I gave it 3 stars.

It is a little pricey, but it will certainly save your jeans! It is compact, lightweight, stays in place, and if you add a little olive oil to the natural leather model, it will darken even more while also protecting the leather.UPDATE: I've been using this product for a little over 13 months and it is still going strong - the snaps are still tight and the rivets that connect the metal bar to the leather are as tight as they were when this product was new. My wife loves it because my jean pockets are no longer wearing out from clipping the tape measure onto the pocket and several of my coworkers have now this product as well.
