Review on πŸ”¨ Tipkits Woodworking Apron: 9 Tool Pockets & 20 oz Waxed Canvas for Carpenter's - Magnetic Holders & Perfect Gift by Jim Reinhardt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Apron for processing precious wood species. Note some minor issues

. It's not "full of tools" as some people may have to work for them. I mainly use it to keep pencils, tape measures, and simple screws within reach. It seems like its main purpose was to protect me from sawdust and dirt when using a tool that doesn't come with my dust extraction system. Here's the downside. There are no flaps on the lower pockets, so flying sawdust can get into these places. For me, this is a minor inconvenience and usually occurs when working with a plunge router. The apron also has a magnetic patch for sticking and keeping screws/nails within reach. This patch caused 20 minutes of grief while I fumbled for my dust collector. As I leaned over the router table, I finally realized that the remote's "keychain" was attached to the apron. I looked everywhere until I looked straight down. You could say I've finally found it "right under my nose" :) Another minor downside is that the apron's retaining straps don't stretch smoothly when you first put it on, so it requires wiggling and shifting to get it to fit properly . This is a good apron and should serve you well. I hope it helps.

Pros
  • . Multiple competitors.
Cons
  • . Security
