He has been using these belts for as long as I can remember. He says they are comfortable and being fully adjustable is the best! He uses them to hang his Leatherman and tape measure while he works. Like I said, it goes away every few years or so. His working tools tend to wear down the material. But for the price you can't go wrong. If he'd only used it as a belt, it probably would have lasted much, much longer.
