It is as advertised. I do construction work and have to hang tools and bags regularly and it holds up well. It fills the entire loop of my uniform pants, adding to the professional look. I was on keto so I needed a new belt but felt like it was taking too long. The brand new me was already at the last hole. It's okay though, I just cut off the excess and drilled some new holes. I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of force it took to pierce the strap.
