CLC Work Gear
CLC Tool Belts, Bags, Kneepads, and Holders
CLC Work Gear, also known as Custom Leathercraft, makes the gear that carries your tools. This collection covers leather and cotton web work belts, nail and tool bags, holders for hammers, pliers, and tape measures, drywaller's pouches, canvas aprons, kneepads, kneeling mats, gloves, and work suspenders. For moving larger kits there are open totes like the BigMouth, a 58-pocket tool carrier, a 75-pocket tool backpack, and Roundups bucket trays.
What to Look For
- Material. Leather and suede hold their shape around heavy tools, while canvas and fabric bags weigh less and cost less to replace.
- Pocket layout. Match the pockets to your trade. Framers want nail bags and hammer loops; drywallers want knife and screw pockets.
- Load support. Heavy rigs carry better with a wide belt plus suspenders that move weight onto your shoulders.
- Knee protection. Articulated gel kneepads suit floor and tile work. A kneeling mat works when you stay in one spot.

CLC Work Gear FAQ
Should I buy a complete belt system or individual pieces?
A combo system, like the CLC 4-piece pro framer combo, gives you a belt, bags, and holders sized to work together. Buying pieces lets you build around a belt you already own and add only the holders and pouches your trade needs.
Tool tote or tool backpack?
Open totes such as the BigMouth let you see and grab tools fast and suit jobs where you set the bag down. A tool backpack keeps your hands free on ladders and stairs and closes up for transport.
