A belt for the handy

By Rain Noe - November 12, 2010

Here's a pretty interesting way to always have certain essential tools on hand: Technical apparel company 686 Enterprises offers this tool belt, which isn't meant to hang tools from, but contains its own.

The dual prongs have flathead and Philips-head screwdriver tips, the buckle operates as a bottle opener, and the metal loop has three different sizes of socket heads cut into them.

You can remove the tools without taking the belt off, though you will of course have to unfasten it. At first I thought that would be a problem since your pants would sag, but now I realize it's the perfect excuse to display Plumber's Crack while you bend over to fix whatever needs fixing.

Do you take the belt off to work on stuff, or press your groin up against your work?

Even if it is too soft It's a cool design that hopefully could be copied with stronger stuff

This is old, a wonderful idea but a shitty design. The tools aren't hardened at all, very soft like "Dubya" said, the phillips and flat head strip and crack!

Fail!

however 686 DOES make excellent outerwear...

I own one of these and the most important tool... the bottle opener does not work. The dimensions of the opener are very off and the metal is too soft. my rating: Fail! this product is only a novelty.

Just remember to wear a different belt if you have to go through airport security. TSA sees this and will swipe it in the fear you might disassemble your armrest.
