And getting it to fit just right is a pain. I don't snap the bottom as it the pockets to tight to your side and you bend sometimes the tools dump. Clip your weapon back there for easy access. At first the clip didn't sit all the way down due to thickness, that actually works good. I used Limemans pliers oper and put a slight inward bend, essentially rounding out the outside piece of the clip to wrap around the hammer loop bar. The hammer loop on the back, I use all Milwaukee Battery drills that have a little belt clip on them. $160.00 should at least get me a button, something. So as I have been using it more, my tools used most find their spots and seeing them becomes less important, but those pockets in front. Also, one thing to keep in mind is, your brain sees empty pockets and wants to put things in there so be mindful of the tools you are using, it gets heavy quick. I was thinking, like how a camera bag had Velcro dividers. So my screwdrivers always end up laying on top of each with the one I need conveniently located at the bottom. The lower pockets are deep, but this vest stated it would be great for Electricians, but the pockets are not divided. I am going to sew (yes sew, thank you USMC) some Velcro in side each of them to all eviate boyh issues, something I feel the should have done. Wire nuts, screws, flashlight, panel keys, etc) and bend over, 90% chance everything will dump. Start putting my tools in and notice immediately that the 2 higher pockets, essentially block your view of your tools, which until you get them where your used to, is annoying because you have push the pockets in to see the lower pouches. So you adjust to fit your body, you will sweat in this be warned if this is something you can't handle. I purchased this vest because I can't stand when my tool pulls on my pants essentially forcing me to constantly tight my belt. I am a Union Journeyman Wireman for the local 43.
