Customer Reviews for BUCKET BOSS 11 Pocket Suede Leather Carpenter Work Apron

This is a practical and useful tool belt. It can be loaded up with numerous small to medium size tools to be carried from the shop to wherever needed. It greatly reduces the chance of leaving a tool behind when moving from one place to another and having to retrace ones steps to find a misplaced tool. Multiple pockets and a comfortable fit make it a pleasure to use.

My previous tool belt is at least 20 years old. It has held up pretty well but it was time for a new one. This belt by Bucket Boss checks all of the boxes. Except one. If you have a waist bigger than 32 inches, don't bother. The belt has reinforced rivets for the size settings. I had no choice but to put it at the largest setting. The pockets are a good size and it offers a metal hammer holder on both sides. I'm right handed and naturally put it on that side. But I did run into a couple of times where I was working on a ladder and had to lean a certain way that made it easier to have the hammer on the other side. It seems to be pretty well made. We'll see if this one holds up for another 20 years!

This tool belt is super functional. It has a pocket for just about everything. It has specialized pockets to hold up to 4 pencils/pens, two hammers, and some pliers, with 5 other pockets of various sizes to hold a measuring tape, nails/screws, or various smaller items. The belt fits me with tons of room (I'm a size 34 waist) to spare, and it fits my wife with even more room to spare. There is a little loop that you can bend the extra belt back through so it doesn't flop around everywhere, or if you're extra confident in your exercise/diet, you could cut the excess belt off. All the materials seem to be made of high quality, strong, sturdy material that should last years (unless you cut the strap and outgrow it of course).

This Bucket Boss suede tool belt/carpenter apron has lots of pockets and features. It has two steel hammer loops so whether you're right-handed or left-handed, you'll be able to reach your tools easily. The pouches are different sizes and depths - handy for different sizes of hardware. The nylon belt is adjustable from roughly 34 inches to 48 inches so it will cover most people. It has a sturdy metal buckle and stays in place once as latched. It's a really nice product.

Well made with nice leather and strong metal connections. Lots of pockets of varying sizes for all the potential tools. The tape measure pocket in the front is large so can fit larger tape measures. There is also a multi tool pocket on the side that is a nice addition. The belt is plenty long with a lot of holes to make it as tight or loose as needed. The holes in the belt are metal reinforced so should last.

Overall a very usefull carpenters apron with 2 hammer holders and a plier holster. I am not a carpenter, but I found this useful when puttering around the shop, I can carry my cordless drill and driver, fasteners, screwdrivers and tape measure – just the basics. The suede leather is durable and pliable enough to securely hold your tools, the plier pouch is a stiffer saddle leather. Tubular rivets are used – leaving a starfish on the backside (see photo) I don't like tubular rivets, the sharp starfish edges cut into your clothes and belt.

This is a great tool belt. Durable suede leather. 11 pockets. These pockets should hold all the tools you need for your project. My big 35' tape measure fits just fine into the center pocket. 2 strong hammer steel hammer holders. The steel grommeted belt offers flexibility to fit most size waists, up to 42". It fit me fine and stayed in place. Steel belt buckle.

The Bucket Boss 11 Pocket Carpenter Apron is my favorite toolbelt so far. I love trying out different tool belts, seeing all the different features, and putting them through their paces. But this, simple toolbelt takes the cake. With 2 loops for hanging things like hammers, drills, radios and pretty much anything else that would normally be relegated to being tucked under an arm, or balanced on the top of the ladder. This belt has just enough room for a standard tape measure, speed square, pencils, fasteners, pliers, a notepad, and at least 1 hammer, all while still offering a comfortable fit.

This is a very well-constructed tool apron that includes a sewn-in belt. It’s made with suede leather, heavy rivets and strong stitching. The sizes of the pockets are perfect. The have plenty of room for my big hands, but they aren’t so big that you have to chase what’s in them. It has dual hammer holders, so it works whether you’re left or right-handed or carry two hammers. There are eleven pockets, so there’s room for just about everything and the suede leather is really comfortable. I like the top grain leather pliers holder too, as I switch mine out for electrical work too. Another thing that I really like about it, is that it’s not too heavy while empty, but it’s very well-made. The belt is super strong, comfortable and has a heavy duty buckle and grommets. This will last me a very long time. The whole thing feels already broken in like an old tool pouch. Bucket Boss got my attention with one of their tool bags that I stuff full of tools and love it. This tool apron is no different. This is very well-made and just makes sense.

Bucket Boss Class this a tool apron. It’s more than an apron, It is a real tool belt with a belt and buckle not strings that you get with an apron. The suede leather is very soft as compared to other leather products. The pocket size on both sides are of good size and holds plenty of nails or screws, there is also the usual pocket in front for your tape measure, a small pocket for a utility knife and a hammer bracket on both sides to cover the right and left handers. This is a great tool belt for the weekend handyman or the light duty carpenter.

This tool belt is absolutely one of the best ones I've owned. It has all the right pouches, in all the right places. I like that it has many holes on the belt side so I can adjust what will be comfortable for me with whatever I'm wearing that day. It's completely adjustable. I love that it has 2 hammer hangers. One on each side. I'm able to hang my hammer on one side & my smaller drill hangs on the other. There's a place for my tape measure, nail pin drivers, pencils, screws & everything I need to get my jobs done. This helps me stay organized & everything is within my fingertips, no matter where I am in the garage completing my woodworking projects. I can't love this belt enough. So well made & this is going to last me a lifetime. I can't recommend this product enough.

I was in the market for a new pouch, one that has the potential to not only last a while but also be comfortable. This carpenter pouch is made of nice leather, well made and feels great. I do like the hammer sleeve on both sides making it easy to holster. The apron has enough individual pouches to meet the demand of both a professional carpenter or a DIY’er. I do like the overall quality of this gear and am sure that anyone would feel the same. It is a product well worth the price.

BUCKET BOSS 11 POCKET CARPENTER is a quality product and it is a good fit. This Bucket Boss has all the room you need to bring the tools and accessories to the job. It is made well with a reinforced web belt leather pouches and hammer holders. It also has room for your tape measure speed square, pencils, pens, pliers and cutters. I am sure you can fit every job you're going to into this budget boss carpenter's belt.

This is a very solid pocket apron. I had a Husky basket with all the necessary tools I need to do work inside the house. Well, because of its capacity and over time I tended to throw all kinds of stuff in the bracket, it is not very heavy to carry it around. This carpenter apron offers just another, yet lightweight, option. I will just put in a few screw drivers, chisels, pliers, small hammer, and maybe a few other small tools. It is a little bit heavy though. But you cannot complain about the all-leather build quality. It is a very durable product.

The suede leather is pliable unlike my other one that is very stiff. Easy to adjust belt for when the weather changes and you have to add a layer of clothing. The right amount of pockets for my needs. I may set this one up for general construction work and the old one for electrical work. The dual metal hammer holders is great, depending on what I’m doing I sometimes need it on the opposite side I normally use. I like the pliers holder but I’ll be using it for my utility knife. Looks very will made, time will tell. The only negative for some would be the price. There are several others out their for less money and they look almost as good with very good reviews.

I have never used a tool belt before but always kind myself going back and forth to the garage for the next tool. And then up and down the ladder with tools in my hands and screws in mouth. I thought trying out a tool belt would be a great way to save time but also make things safer with two hands available for my task. I picked this tool belt because it is made of quality leather and feels like it will last. The seams are all well stitched and riveted in the corners, I see this lasting a long time. I am a 34 waist and the belt fits comfortably, it could go a bit smaller or quiet a bit bigger. The wide belt band doesn’t dig in and it’s even hard to tell you are wearing it. The different pouches provide lots of storage with specific spots for hammers, chisels and pencils. I’m looking forward to when the leather is a bit more worn in and softens up.

This Bucket Boss 11 Pocket Carpenter Apron, Brown is very heavy duty and has lots of pockets for nails, screws and anything else you need to fit in it. The directions are easy to read and understand how to set it up to use for your building projects. Good size belt to fit just right on your waist so that you can tighten it or loosen it. Fits great on me and I can't wait to try it out I gots lots of projects to do now.

This 11 pocket carpenters apron pouch is constructed very well. There are plenty of compartments for many of the items/ tools you normally need. The heavy black fabric belt is stitched directly onto the back side of the apron. It is 2" wide and 50" long. There are 12 grommet adjustments on it for any size waist. The suede leather apron itself is 23" long. My old one wore out and about deteriorated over the years from so much use, I was really looking forward to this one arriving. It's perfect and should last for many years! I wasn't familiar with Bucket Boss until receiving this apron, but I am very impressed with the workmanship and high quality of this item! Highly recommend to users around the house or professionals out on jobsites..

This sturdy toolbelt holds plenty and is very comfortable to wear. It is described as a Carpenter Apron but works just as well for a variety of my DIY tasks. Bucket Boss make all kinds of specialized tool belts and bags and this is a great general purpose one for me. The wide belt fastens quickly and securely. The toolbelt fits snugly and empty or brim full it is always comfortable to wear. The pockets have a variety of sizes stretching a full 180 degrees to maximize storage so I always have the right tool to hand. Happily my M12 drill and driver fit great in the hammer hangers - I use them a lot. Early on I realized my hands were bleeding in a couple of places where the splayed side of rivets had scratched me. It wasn't really a problem and did not hurt but I did get blood on the toolbelt. It won't happen again because I flattened out the rivets a bit more. Apart from that quality glitch I am very happy with this rugged toolbelt.

Bucket Boss 11 Pocket Carpenter Apron, Brown, Model 55149 is a versatile and rugged 11 pocket suede leather tool apron. The various pockets help to hold nails and screws and other supplies in addition to keeping your tools safely organized and handy for a quick use. I especially like the fact that the 2” wide poly ripstop fabric web belt has a sturdy metal buckle and 12 evenly spaced reinforced metal eyelets that can be easily be selected for a comfortable fit. This belt can simply adjust to accommodate a waist size up to 42”. The apron itself is made from suede leather with heavy duty double stitching along the pocket edges and then reinforced with solid peened metal rivets at various stress points. However, I did notice that some of these peened rivets inside the pockets had a sharp edge which could scratch your hand as you retrieve items from the pockets. The same sharp rivet edges were also found where the pockets attach to the web belt which is typical of tool aprons of this style. The apron has two preformed chrome plated metal hammer loops, one on each side of the apron to allow for left or right-handed hammer use, carry and storage. It also has 4 convenient pencil pockets in addition to a large center tape measure pocket which allows for quick retrieval and storage of the tape measure. It has one top grain leather plier’s holder which can also be used instead to carry a try square for measuring. This apron was designed with the professional in mind as it assists in safely and efficiently carrying your needed tools while working on the ladder or on the ground at the jobsite.

The one issue I have with this carpenter apron is the rivets. They cut your hand up when you have to go in for screws or nails. Also a bit disappointed in the quality of the product seems to be flaking apart already and I have only used it two weeks.

Two hammer slots great!!!

This apron i wouldnt recommend for construction sites, probably dyi home repairs. Pros is that is light weight and the pockets are in the front. Cons, one side pocket already has a puncture due to the metallic tools (flat head and pliers) in a two month span. Since there is a hole the tools petrude outside the pocket. The pockets are also shallow, so longer tools such as long screwdrivers, needlenose, tongue and groove, lineman pliers etc tend to want to fall out when going up and down ladders or working a fast pace. One of the side tool leather hangers randomly fell off even though i didnt use it. I do electrical work so i wouldnt recommend due to this issues. Mostly dissapointed for the $60 plus price tag and for this type of quality. This is the third bucket boss tool belt i have owned and the issue with all three is the punctured pockets.

Just what I was looking for.
