Klein Tools 5164T Tool Pouch, Tunnel Loop, 8 Pockets

Yes. The 5164T uses a tunnel loop sized for belts up to 2-1/2 inches (6.4 cm) wide, so a 2-inch leather or nylon belt slides through fine. Because it is a tunnel loop and not a clip, you have to thread it on, which means pulling your belt off to add or remove the pouch. If you want to move a pouch between belts during the day, a clip-on style is the better choice.

The pocket layout is four large utility pockets, two pliers pockets and two screwdriver pockets, eight in total, plus a knife snap on the outside. That covers a typical electrician's daily carry: side cutters and pump pliers in the dedicated pliers pockets, a couple of drivers standing in the narrow slots, and wire nuts, tape, a tester or marker in the utility pockets.

Overall it runs 9.75 inches high, 6.75 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, and it weighs 1.2 lb (0.6 kg) empty. The 2.5-inch body depth keeps it close to the hip rather than sticking out, which matters if you are working in panels, attics or ladder-heavy jobs. Loaded with pliers and drivers, expect several pounds on the belt, so pair it with a proper work belt rather than a dress belt.

It is stitched and riveted leather, in black. Leather is the pick where you are dragging tools in and out all day and dealing with sharp screwdriver tips and plier jaws, since it resists puncture and abrasion better than fabric and stiffens into shape so pockets stay open. Nylon pouches are lighter and cheaper and shrug off water better, but they wear through at the pocket corners sooner. If the pouch lives on the belt full time, leather is the longer-life option.

The 5164T is the pouch only. It has a tunnel loop that threads onto a belt you supply, so you need a work belt of 2-1/2 inches wide or less to hang it on. No belt, suspenders, or tool inserts are included.

Yes. The 5164T ships as a single configuration, model and part number 5164T, in black leather with the same 8-pocket layout every time, so there are no sizes, colors or hands to keep straight when you order a dozen for a crew. Every pouch is interchangeable with the next.

There is a knife snap built into the pouch, so a folding knife or an electrician's snap-blade can ride on the outside instead of taking up one of the eight pockets. That keeps the pliers and screwdriver slots free for what they are shaped for.
