Review on Occidental Leather 5523 Clip Holder by Mike Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't be afraid of FatMax skeptics!

I cannot rate it highly enough. Don't be afraid of FatMax skeptics! Excellent quality, fully customizable, this mini case will do what I need when I don't need a full set of (even western) tool bags. Granted, while only standard gauge tape fits easily out of the box, leather can be custom made with minimal effort. I had a 35ft FatMax tape attached in 15 minutes and I extended the right side to hold the screwdriver securely. I simply poured hot water on the parts I wanted to stretch and worked the skin to saturation. Then insert the leather shaping tool; Stretch it slowly and make sure it's soaked. If this persists, repeat moisturizing and stretching. Use a smooth tool (the end of a Sharpie for me) to work the inside curve over the rivets. Be careful not to stretch the skin over the rivet heads. Left to dry overnight with tools inside, it fits perfectly and keeps its shape.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • High price
