Klein Tools 5704XL PowerLine Padded Tool Belt

Great belt. Have a few of the Klein pouches that go with it. Im a telecommunications technician and climb poles for a living. The belt is light, comfortable, and sturdy. The buckle is metal and very strong. I highly recomend this belt to everyone i know.

Buckle is made of metal, with a great closure and release mechanism. Unfortunately, the buckle, belt webbing and the entire belt itself is so big I don't own a pair of pants that it will work with. Webbing will not fit through ANY belt loops, nor will the buckle. So... as well made as this belt and buckle are, it is useless as it will not fit any pant loops that I know of. I love Klein tools, this belt however is a failure.

For my carpentry tool pouch and hammer holder. Finally replacing my cotton(?) fiber webbing with hook type latch. New belt feels very sturdy but who knows how long it will last. I also use suspenders with sawtooth type holders and they really chewed up the old belt. Hopefully this plastic fiber belt will not fray quickly. The front latch is metal and feels sturdy as well. Using hook latch, they sometimes unhooked themselves when I crouch down so I am willing to tolerate occasional unlatching but this kind of latch feels they will never unhook themselves.Old belt could have lasted little longer but I've gotten fat around the gut.

So I got this tool belt from Klein. I'm an iron worker and I usually have a client belts and climb bolt bags. I got this one because my old belt shredded away and I wanted to try something new. Up on first observation it looks pretty sturdy and it seems to be a good quality. The only thing that I'm concerned about is that although it's adjustable it doesn't seem to have a way for the adjustment to hold. (See included photographs). In other words the the excess part that is not used after you adjust the belt to size just kind of hangs there. We'll see what happens I guess.

Popped off my waist a couple times. Once my tools (including expensive cordless drill) made it all the way to the ground. Nothing broken. I bought this belt to replace another I bought that had a plastic, but similar, latch. That belt had popped loose up on the roof 3 times. The Klein was no better. The latch type on this belt is just a bad idea. I am going back to my 30 year old belt.

the padding makes this belt comfortable to wear long periods. the double lock design (velcro and snap-release buckle) allows for perfect adjustment; no annoying belt pins to deal with. only issue i have is with belt-loop style attachments. you need to remove the belt strap from the buckle completely in order to install or remove attachments.

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

The most comfortable belt I have yet to find. It took a little time to get the right size as I originally ordered the wrong one and the right size was difficult at first to obtain in a timely manner. But... it was worth the wait. Sometimes doesn't even feel like I have my tools on. Its that comfortable. I highly recommend this for anyone who must wear tools on the job. Specifically anyone who might experience "skinny pant syndrome". Look it up its real nerve damage in the hip area. Affects the upper thigh area. This belt helps a lot.

Super. Love it absolutely

Definitivamente de alta calidad, muy resistente pero toma mucho tiempo ponerlo o quitarlo. Tengo varios pantalones de Levis y en ninguno cabe ninguna de las dos partes de la hebilla, la parte de tela apenas cabe pues es bastante mas ancha que un cinturón de vestir. Por esa razón, es necesario quitar la contra de la hebilla por completo cada vez que lo te lo pones y nuevamente quitarla por completo para poder sacar el cinturón.Es decir que para ponerlo hay que quitar la contra, pasar el cinturón por el pantalón, volver a poner la contra, ajustar al tamaño y finalmente ya puedes cerrarlo. La misma maniobra otra vez para quitarlo.Ya puesto es excelente, mucho mas firme y resistente que cualquier cinturón regular, perfecto para aditamentos con herramientas u otros objetos pesados, pero el tiempo que toma ponerlo o quitarlo es casi absurdo.

This belt has no retaining strap to hold the tag end in place, which comes very long. Had to cut off the length I didn't need. Also my chubby gut must have pressed the release tabs because the belt came undone twice when I was bending over to pickup something I dropped, luckily I grabbed it on time to prevent my tools pouch from falling.Goes to show that Klein is not the best when it comes to engineering everything. Save your money and invest in a better belt.

Decent quality buckle. You can tell it won't fail anytime soon. Product would be better if there was a clip to hold the slack of extra belt, which there can be quite a bit (unless you have a 50" waist).

I use everyday for my job I am apprentice , It is easy to adjust when i wear more or less clothes, it broke on me after 3 years , the clip and spring broke, I just bought another one, main downside is the extra extra length if you never use it, you may need to cut and burn it close?
