Klein Tools 5705 PowerLine Web Work Belt Web Belt

- I've been using this for about 3 weeks. - I'm about a size 28 waist since size 29 pants are still loose on me but not so loose that they'll fall past my waist without a belt. That being said, it does fit me but I have to pretty much double wrap this belt for it to do so. In order to deal with the excess, instead of trimming it, I just used 4 black velcro cable ties (obtainable at W mart) and essentially made my own belt loops. Works great for me since I don't like the excess to flop or twist around and gives me extra strength for holding my tools. - I deal with HVAC controls and use this belt to carry my Husky pouch with the following tools. These are tools I carry at minimum at all times : two 8" Kobalt (Don't judge me. They were on sale and they do the job just fine) channel locks (groove joint pliers), Klein journeyman diagonal cutters, Klein conduit reamer, Klein 11 in 1 screwdriver, Klein stubby, Klein wire strippers, 2 Husky trims (precision screw drivers), LED flashlight, pencil, sharpie, laser pen, and a roll of electrical tape. Holds the weight just fine without the belt folding in on itself (remember I'm also double wrapped). There are times when I've had about 4 additional tools and still held up just fine. I just remembered, I've also clipped a Dewalt impact driver on the belt along with my tool pouch. I'm right handed and like to keep everything slightly to the right in front of my right thigh (reason being keeping it directly to my right, the tool pouch's belt clip tends to pinch me way too much). No issues here. - Amazon's picture doesn't show it but the buckle is indeed metal. When I was first looking at this, I had to double check with other sites to make sure this was the correct one. The buckle also has the Klein logo on it in white which is not shown here. - Paint on the buckle scratches fairly easily and I've exposed it to rain water and hasn't shown any signs of rust. - I chose this one over the Klein web belt with a metal buckle is because from my own research polypropylene appears to be softer than nylon (I could be wrong) and I didn't want to risk ordering that one only to have it fold on itself when I have my tool pouch on. These are nice and stiff (but thinner, sadly) than those cheap 5 dollar ones. - If you intend on carrying a lot of tools or a lot of weight, you might be better off getting a leather belt or one of those padded work belts. This belt might be able to hold it but the only way I see that happening is to wear this belt tight around your waist which can get uncomfortable. And remember, unless you have a similar waist size to mine, you may not be double wrapped. Reason I got this one was because those 5 dollar cheapo ones you get at your home improvement stores just aren't reliable for me. I like to take my belt off frequently and so it had to be a quick release buckle. The buckle is metal so it's much harder for it to break. I don't even know when or how I broke the cheap 5 dollar plastic buckle ones. This also hasn't just randomly unbuckled itself on me like the plastic ones. Nothing more annoying than carrying a ladder in one arm and materials in the other and your belt suddenly drops while you're walking or if you put it on snug, a sneeze would unbuckle it (which is also why I wear my work belts slightly loose now). So if your job requires you to carry hand tools daily and you like a quick release then invest in this belt. Don't bother with the plastic ones. You'll end up frustrated and spending more money replacing them. However, if you're just a DIY'er, and occasionally needs a tool belt and/or carrying a very light pouch, I would not recommend paying a premium for this. Those cheap ones should suffice. If you must get one with a metal buckle then the Klein web belt would be a cheaper alternative (just search for Klein tool belts). It's about 4 dollars cheaper. And these metal buckles make a very satisfying "ching" sound when you unbuckle it just right. >> Update July 26 - Belt still going strong being used almost every workday, everything still in great condition, buckle looks a little worn but I haven't been exactly gently with it either. Still love the "ching" sound. >> Update January 26, 2014 - Almost 2 years since I bought this belt and it's still going strong being abused every work day. I'm actually surprised to be honest that it's been that long already and I haven't had to replace it yet. I also noticed Amazon has replaced the picture with the correct one. What you see in the picture is exactly what you get. I've since changed tool pouches (to a better one that I haven't replaced in a while as well) and have had the tool pouch fully loaded (front right thigh), an impact driver (right hip), and a hammer drill (back side) all hooked up to the belt at once. Takes it like a champ. Still makes the "ching" sound. >> Update September 23, 2015 - Guess which belt I'm still using. >> Update July 16, 2016 - Well, finally had to retire this belt. But not because it's broken or anything. I've since changed jobs and currently am not allowed to carry and use my own tools. So it's sitting in the trunk of my car right now. I've used it for a little over 4 years and 2 months of everyday work abuse and it still hasn't broken. >> Update November 18, 2025 - Wow. I was looking through my old reviews and saw this one. Curious about the price, I clicked on the link and as of right now, it's being sold for $16.98. I paid $16.84 for this belt almost 14 years ago. I'm honestly amazed the price hasn't increased. I sure do miss when Amazon didn't charge for tax back then.

Quick and easy to use, sure, it's not as comfortable as a high-end leather belt, but it's really solid and works well. The buckle snaps together easily, disconnects quickly and overall, works great. I use this for a single, Klein tool pouch and honestly, it's really a nice belt. Nothing fancy, no padding, just slap on and get to work. Overall, yep, I would recommend this belt for use with a single, electricians pouch, not too terribly large, just your most commonly used tools.

great belt - extremely useful!

The sizing was a bit smaller than I expected but it is well made.

Great belt and supports the weight well. The velcro and buckle system is a game changer. Fits other brands pouches and drill holders but the other brands dont have velcro backing so they slide some.

You're getting beyond what you pay for. The belt is very thick and has much room for adjustments and is perfect whether I'm using it as a belt around the waist to hold up a tool pouch, or I'm carrying it over my shoulder or have it clipped and looped around a pole nearby where I'm working. Very convenient.

I was looking for a hands-free dog belt for running, but was disappointed by the reviews. I didn't think a regular running belt made for carrying water bottles would work, either. I had been using a men's leather belt, but it cut into my back when my dog would lunge or jump over fallen trees. He snapped a worn leather belt last winter because he was excited to see the snow. So I started looking at padded tool belts instead...and this one is the best! I was able to take the outer nylon belt out of one loop so I could snug the velcro part around my 26-inch waist so the belt wouldn't bounce. Then I added a small camera case to carry my keys, ID, and poop bag. I stick the whole belt, pad and all, through the loop-handle of his leash so there is no leash clip that might break. When my dog makes a sudden movement, I barely feel the impact, thanks to the padding! I just used it on vacation to run through rocky forest trails, and didn't feel the heat from it until we stopped. From reviews of actual dog belts, I think this one is much stronger and more padded, especially for dogs who take off suddenly after little critters or other people. It was about the same price as the dog belts I looked at, too. A few words of caution: If you are attached to your dog and he jumps into a lake or over a cliff, depending on his weight and strength, you might join him! My puppy was leash-trained to run on roads and trails before I attached him to my waist. I also taught him "right, left, forward, walk, run, wait," and "easy" (slow down) before having him securely attached to me. Now if only he would not lunge after squirrels! But the sprints make me faster....

So the thing is with this belt it does not stretch it all. Which is extremely important to me when your work and a real construction job no need to be pulling my pants up every 2 seconds. And if my tools are hanging off something nice and sturdy doesn't feel like it's cutting the circulation off by how tight I keep it. The one thing I'm really not happy about is they should have said it does not fit with regular pants maybe they did I didn't see it it absolutely does not fit through loopholes of regular pants you have to take the Buckle off and string it around then do it like that and that's how I have to tighten it. That rules really upsetting cuz yes it's a 2in belt but the Buckle is bigger. At the end of the day it's worth it for me to put it on the long way to have a belt that holds all day so I did not order another belt and they kept this one because it is pretty awesome

I’m expecting this to last me a long time. The buckle is a little finicky to get adjusted especially under load, but it stays locked in once you find your place. Solid.

Authentic. Fast delivery. Happy.

サイズが思った以上に大きく ベルトのみで使用しないといけないです。

muy duradero, bien hecho, se describe para trabajo pero se ve y siente bastante elegante .

Super. Love it absolutely
