FAQs
What types of tools can I carry in this holster?
The holster is designed for common hand tools such as pliers, folding knives, secateurs, and other similar-sized implements. It's best suited for tools with a maximum length of approximately 230mm and a width that allows for a snug fit within the holster.
How do I attach the holster?
You can attach it using the integrated belt loop by sliding your belt through it, or by using the metal clip to attach it to your belt, pocket, or strap.
Is the holster waterproof?
The holster is made of leather and is not waterproof. It is water-resistant to a degree but should not be submerged in water. Avoid exposing it to heavy rain or moisture for extended periods.
How do I clean the holster?
Wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth. For best results and longevity, condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner.
Can I carry multiple tools?
This holster is designed primarily to hold one main tool securely. Carrying multiple tools may compromise the fit and security of individual items.
What are the dimensions of the holster?
The overall dimensions of the holster are approximately 93mm (width) x 230mm (height).
Will this holster fit a large multi-tool?
It depends on the dimensions of the multi-tool. The holster is best suited for tools within the 93 x 230mm approximate size range and a moderate thickness. Very large or bulky multi-tools may not fit securely.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not fit securely
Ensure the tool is within the compatible size range. For smaller tools, consider adding a small shim or folded paper at the bottom for a tighter fit, though this may affect quick access.
Clip detaches easily
Ensure the clip is attached to a suitable thickness of material. If the clip is loose, consider using the belt loop option for greater security.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner and gently rub it into the material. Allow it to soak in and then wipe off any excess. Repeat if necessary.
Belt loop feels too tight
Ensure you are using a standard-width belt. If the fit is still very tight, try gently flexing the leather loop over time or using a softer belt.
