    As can be seen from the link ormus posted. There are many different tool belts, depending on what trade you need the tool belt for. there is no particular merit in paying more than you need to for a tool belt. The important thing is to have the capacity for the tools that your trade requires.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Do you wear yours with the pockets on the front or back?

    I have mine with the buckle at the front, means the pouches are each side, I find it more comfy, theres no right or wrong way even with the tape measure clip at the back is no problem, I always put my tape in one of the pouches.My belt has a wider area to support your back.Some of them like the Makita ones have a loop at the back so you can add braces for extra support.

    IMO steer clear of ones with too many pouches as you won't use them all and they hold less too.....
