Recommendations for a waist tool belt

[Jupiter01]

This was very helpful for when I was second fixing as I could place most of the required tools in here. This one didn’t last very long!

You can see the candidate tools from this picture.

Can I have suggestions for a replacement please.
Thanks in advance.

I use tool belts, although I don't spend a lot of money on them.
Mainly because the buckles are made of plastic and when I have all the pockets full the plastic tends to break under the strain (or it may be the strain of going around my fat waist lol)

Or the pockets get caught on something and rip off when I'm passing something.

So I buy reasonably cheap and if there is a bargain I get a few.
My last/current one was from Aldi who was selling them off at a fiver each so I got 3.
The three still lasted a couple of years though.

The DiamondBlack is too expensive for me. Also, I will probably use this a few times each year. Would something like this be worth it?

Would something like this be worth it? ....

For what it's worth, I have that very one, and have been using it literally for years (more than 5, probably nearer 10). It's pretty filthy (covered in paint, glue and goodness know what) out, but it's still intact and still does the job.

Kind Regards, John

I use a simple two pocket pouch similiar to this

Suede Leather Double Pocket Nail Pouch Heavy Duty Leather Nail Pouch with Belt | eBay

A heavy-duty suede nail pouch divided into two pockets. Double stitched for strength and rivet re-inforced at stress points. LEATHER HEAVY DUTY DOUBLE POCKET NAIL POUCH.

as it is easy to "change " its use from a tool holder to a nail pouch and it has even been used in the garden for secatuers,trowel etc.
I have tried the multi pocket ones but you end up filling all the pockets and it then gets too bl**dy heavy
PS just looked at the diamond back site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even a hammer loop is £40......
