    so, a £20 hoover out of tescos is the same as a £150 miele hoover............no, i didnt think so

    1) A tool belt isnt electrical so its not like your worried about cost of repairs ...

    2) its a tools belt ... its going to hold tools, its like saying that a a £1000 coat hook is better than a 25p cup hook. if it does the job why pay over the odds ??
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    ok then, all pro tools (dewalt makita hitachi etc) are a complete waste of money then............

    just go and look a pro toolbelt, designed to be used by a pro every day, and you will see the difference from you limp thin leather piece of **** £10 junk:eek:

    There is no comparison to be made between the £10 one and the £78 one, so its just dumb making it

    This is a money saving site, i was sharing my experiance of a "£10 thin limp piece of **** junk" that I have used every day for 4 years and is still going but hey ho if you insist that spending £78 will get you one that will last 7 and a half times as long then feel free

    Did I explicitly say that ELECTRICAL TOOLS are not worth the money ? in future step down a little from that high horse and take 2 seconds to compile your response, we are assuming that the tool belt its to hold tools, we are also assuming that the OP doesn’t want to spend £100 on a tool belt, and we are giving options and opinions on alternatives.

    I personally have a love for good tools but just the same I don’t have a £200 SNAP-ON socket set when I know a £15 draper set will fill my needs.
