When you are working on a job you need quick access to tools such as pliers, hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, or exacto knives. For carpenters, plumbers, contractors, and even handymen around the house, tool belts are a necessary accessory. The ability to store all your most needed tools and know where they are at come time to work is also something to consider. Tool belts are also referred to as work aprons, tool carriers, holsters, and tool bags. Some tool belts are made specifically for certain trades such as carpenters, electricians or masons. Since some jobs require specific tools to complete, it only makes sense to have a tool belt designed to accommodate that profession.

The most versatile 20 dollar tool apron I've come across is the CLC 1469 12 pocket, 4 piece tool apron. The coolest thing about this apron is that it has 4 main tool pockets that are different sizes - especially made to fit hand tools like your carpenter square, prybar, pliers, gloves, and nails. These different sized pockets allow you to carry a number of frequently used hand tools and accessories with you as well as keep them within easy reach without having to dig to find them.

The CLC 1469 has a center pocket for tape measure, gloves or other tools, 4 main nail and tool pockets for larger tools and accessories, a pry bar or combination square holder pocket and 6 smaller pockets for carrying pliers, pencils, nail sets, etc. The bottoms of main pockets are reinforced with PCV material for better protection from abrasion so you don't end up with holes as quickly as you would with unlined tool belt pockets.

Other features include a metal "snap-in" hammer holder to keep your hammer in place and a metal clip that holds all measuring tape sizes.The CLC 1469 tool apron has an easy carry handle design that provides simple adjustments, easy carrying and storage of your work apron without spilling the contents. Made of 600D polyester fabric this tool apron has a 2 inch wide padded belt with steel roller buckle and fits waist sizes 29 - 46 inches. Available at Toolking.com.
