It's pretty hard to find a quality tool belt these days, thanks to huge hardware stores stocked with cheap, flimsy items. This American made tool belt is the nicest I have seen or felt in a long time. The clasp is made of thick high-quality plastic, and the belt itself is several layers thick, the braiding pattern is dense. The material used does not absorb moisture, which is certainly a good thing. I have a few other Atlas 46 products and they are all very well made.
