ToughBuilt - Drill Holster

Love this product line and this holster.I am a Bosch guy so all my equipment is Bosch, along with my drills...This is a great and sturdy holster. It holds my impact driver and my other drill drivers well.The issue I ran across was, when drawing the drill, the bit holdet will drag along the holster. If the bit holder is a "push forward" style it will release the bit. (I have a review on this bit holder HT0162-SH, push to release) The HT0162-SH is a "pull back" style bit holder, where the release goes toward the drill, not away. Works much better and will not release the bit when drawing.

I was thinking about getting this for quite a while, and when I did my only thought was I shouldn't have waited so long. I have yet to wear it on my belt but I do keep it on the bar on my tough built tool bag. You're really comes in handy not to have to dig around inside the tool bag to get my impact driver out whenever I need it. Would be really great when you're up on a ladder and you can clip it to your belt and you don't have to worry about dropping your impact driver. It is very durable and lightweight very solid and quality in appearance.

The holster is durable and works excellent, things awesome!. The only thing that I found out that was something I didn't even think of, until I started using it at work , and that was that its only made for the right side. (Handle faces one way) which is the right side. And that is where I keep my tough built pouch with all my hand tools. I mean the holster can be worn on the left but then the drill handle is backwards. That doesn’t make it a deal breaker by any means and may look and feel weird, but Its something that I can get used to i guess, I mean I can always put my hand tools on the left and keep drill on the right, but it just comes down to what your used to as far as comfortability, convenience and muscle memory. Just wish there was a way that I could have had the option for (left or right handle facing backwards) that it came with a holster that has the gun handle facing backwards no matter what side it was on. I wish it either came with 2 holsters: a left and a right. That’s pretty much the only negative thing I had to say about this product. And that my friends it not necessarily a bad thing, but when it comes down to it.. its all about comfortability and personalization. And thank you for taking the time to read my novel.. and apologies for my ramblings. Hope ya’ll have a good day! 🍻

I bought this specifically to hold my Dewalt Impact Driver and that's the main issue I have with this holster; it's not a great fit.While the dewalt drill driver (chuck) fits very nicely into it, their impact driver is not balanced right for the angle of the holster and also requires extra attention to fully push in to the holster, often catching the trigger on its way in. This doesn't happen with the drill driver, it is a smooth insert to a full set. Also I find the bit holder pockets could be a smidge longer, and lower. They are snug but only give about 1.25" of depth and seem to ever so slowly want to work their way up, getting less stable until eventually falling. Also, a 3rd bit holder has been needed by me on occasion.That said, the quality of the build is friggin fantastic, it's durable AF fabric. The plastic clips and mounting bracket have been just fine for me on this. I could see on some of the bigger tool pouches getting too heavy for the material to last long, but on the drill holsters they'll be plenty tough. Gotta love the modularity of the clip system. Swapping load outs and positions of gear on the belt are a snap (literally).... dang that was on the nose. Seriously, I am impressed with their tool belt system.

I doubt there is a tool belt system out there that i haven't tried. And at first i was skeptical. But This system is awesome. The only thing I did differently is i used the Klien belt and suspenders. The belt and suspenders on these i just didn't like at all. But the bags and the system, I love. I was working on a project for two years, where i was in and out of the truck do work, in the utility space, jump in truck drive 100 to 200 feet and do again. I never had to take the belt off. Just unclip the bags and jump in the truck, you can also buy extra clips, I put a set on the utility cabinet doors on my truck. Sometimes I'm working with my truck right next to me. When the bags weren't on the belt, they were attached to the inside of one of the doors. I also love that you can configure the belt differently just by putting a few extra clips on the belt. Sometimes i need all the tools. Sometimes i just need a drill and a Volt Ohm meter. So, you just put those on. In two years, I never broke a clip or went through a pouch. Excellent product. They make a killer razor knife system. You preload the blades into what are like pistol magazines. I use several types of blades so i keep a magazine of each. It's as smooth and quick loading as my Walter PPK .40

Nice size for small impact, I am sure it works on larger but it's really nice to keep size down for a Milwaukee M12 impact

I have 5-6 Tough built pouches that I wear day to day depending on my task. I work as a Fire Alarm technician, so my need for tools very by the job. I bought this holster to work with my existing Clip Tech hubs. I wear my EDC of electrical hand tools on my left hip daily until I need my tool belt for larger projects. This holster holds my M12 FUEL impact, M12 Drill/Driver, or my DeWalt 12v 3/8" Xtreme impact wrench perfectly. Wearing a Clip Tech on my right hip allows me to grab a power tool inside this holster, and go about my work, without the belt clips ruining my leather belts. Light weight and extremely durable holster that should be a no brainer for the price, if you use compact power tools daily.*If you've never worn a Clip Tech before, be warned. It is hard, unforgiving, plastic and can be quite uncomfortable if you hear it by a bone on your waist, or lay/sit on it.*

Very handy and it does exactly what i need it do. Well built.
