I got my setup maybe 8 years ago? Recently I lost my belt. During a load-out it was misplaced and disappeared.

It was the most upset I've been about losing any physical object in my life. I searched my whole house like 3x,my shop, work vans, jobsite, asked every single person on the job if they had seen it, no dice.

I did a job without it, and every time I went to grab a tool it was like I had a ghost belt - I was reaching for things where they had been for the last 50 projects, not wherever I had them on the nylon belt out of the communal bucket. Slowed me down and bummed me out.

I bought the same setup again, put it on once and just got more sad, because my old belt was soooo smooooth and comfy. The new one was so stiff, it was like I would have had to start a relationship over again after being ghosted. It was too soon.

Then I found the fucking thing in our storage unit! Made my month. I really love the belt, I work indoors so it's not like they're getting tar, concrete, or rain on them all the time but I don't baby the bags and they look brand new when oiled. Great tool.
