Is it necessary to use the pivoting clips, or can I use a belt that doesn't have "anchor points?"

I have the pivoting clips attached to loops (Occidental, available at Amazon). I thread my tool belt through the loops. This is a better setup because the loops can be moved to the best position on the belt, unlike fixed anchor points.

The pivoting clips are used to attach the shoulder harness. Either a belt or tool pouches is required to attach the shoulder harness.

no. there is no attachment points on bottom for belt keeper. that would be a great addition to the rig. but with a full loadout it doesn't ride up much even when running if securely tightened to your torso

I've found the clip very secure, but if I were to get a holster, I'd probably go with one of the Nite Ize ones that you put through your belt. Clips are insecure and problematic.

No you cannot. The clip is strong enough to hold at most angles without pivoting.

No, not that I'm aware of. If I remember correctly, the pouch only has 2 vertical straps which are too long to secure on a duty belt. The previous comment by Richard A. Boothe indicates there are horizontal straps? I do not remember any horizontal straps on this pouch (but could be wrong).

I had to order a special attachment from the same vendor to attach it to my belt. I wore it with the paddle mount because my duty belt fit through and there are stops to keep it from getting pulled off, but I felt more secure with a dedicated belt mount.

You have to use a military web belt that has holes. I recommend getting a nylon sheath with the belt loop.

For what you're doing, this tool isn't a good choice. The center pivot point is what holds the guide in place, and without it you're working freehand. For what you want to accomplish a template and a straight bit with an edge following bearing is probably the easiest way to go. That said, it still isn't a really "easy" thing to accomplish.

Yes. The anchors aren't a necessity. I lost them after a few months and have never missed them.

The mounting points for the TDI clip are not square, so it's not possible to rotate it. The TDI would also not be too secure going through just a belt loop in your pants, unless they were thick and wide. The sheath does have holes in it that you could always run some cord through, but it's obviously not the most convenient option.

No. To remove the clip you'll need a t6 torx bit. To adjust the pivot you'll need a t8.

I ignored the clips. I replaced the 2 middle springs. At first, they slipped to the sides some when I sat down. I fastened two small zip ties to hold them centered and that worked as good or better than the clips. Depending on which springs you replace will determine how you attach the zip ties. Not an answer to what you asked but how I solved the problem. I could not find a good way to attach the clips

It shouldn't need the top "anchor" as long as you have the anchors clipped by the seatbelt. I have a 2010 Jetta and the anchors clip perfectly! We do, however, use the top anchor strap when we use the carseat in my husband's 2008 Toyota Tundra and it isn't bad - it just gets in the way when buckling the baby.

Yeah. There is a loop in the back that serves as a belt attachment plus there are rings on either side. I used a pair of Nite Ize S biners and clipped it that way.

It has a holder that clips to the belt but you don't have to use it. It is detachable.

clips on easy, you should be able to clip on with belt type connection, I don't use it that way but looks easy to do

The pivot feature is more like adjusting it to blow by physically pointing it in the direction that you want it to go -- it is not going to pivot unless you push it to a different direct. imaging that you could tighten the bolts that allow it to pivot so that it doesn't. It is a tensioned so that it doesn't move on its own - point it and forget it.
