Hello everyone, I work for a framing outfit full time, and was wondering if anyone had some insight as to how durable or tough this belt is? I

I'm full time framing aswell, the belt has been awesome for me. My hammer tears on the pouch a bit but it hasn't put a hole in it or anything. Definitely worth the purchase

I am a full time carpenter and have used this belt everyday for about the past year and it still looks almost new! I would highly recomend this belt and will get another one if it ever wears out!

Had the belt for a year. Used twice a week. all day on Habitat building. Looks as good as the day I bought it. Tough, durable. Constant sharp tools ( cat's paw, chisel, etc ) in and out of pouches has not frayed fabric at all. Speed square in and out has not damaged sleeve at all. Good product.

Haven't experienced a problem with the locking system. Plastic is very thick, & sturdy. Given the correct size for your waist, the velcro is strong enough to keep the belt locked in place even when lifting heavy. I also own a heavy duty leather lifting belt as well, but this one is more comfortable because it doesn't pinch or seem to cut into my waist when I bend over. I also agree with the previous comment that if you plan to lift heavier than 500 lbs, you may prefer the security of the leather belt.

I am a regular fit user and I find it very convinient. I don't think it is gone to be different for a plus size subject. Just like using a wide belt. Greate benefits during shooting. I like it a lot.

Most of these type belts are made with "Kevalor" which is the same type material that "bullet-Proof' vest are made of. I would expect the belt to last at least as long as a premium type belt. The reduction of vibration over the orginal type belt is well worth the increase in cost.

The only way i can answer that is,can you tolerate it?That is a very tender area. The belt can be wrapped as close as you desire,it is extremely long and flexible. It is also pretty soft.It might also be just the thing you need to secure that dressing.Sure wish you luck.Louann

Jess, seems like a quality product. The waist component should cover any normal adult waist size (I have 36 " waist), however I have 2 85+ lb labs, so I utilize the leashes on another belt that I believe is sturdier. The waist belt is quality with mini ropes that keep the leash from sliding. If my dogs were smaller, I would use the waist belt that came with the product, the leashes are quality.

It broke trying to attach on of the belt attachments. The seller immediately replaced it. However a week later, the new one broke (same place) and the seller did not respond to our inquiry. We fixed it with epoxy and it seems to be holding up well now.

My boyfriend has had this set in his work truck for about a year now, he has never had a problem with the fabric running. He only has the front seats covered as the back seat of his truck isn't a bench seat, so I'm not sure how the bench seat cover would hold up- though I would assume it would be similar to the front seats. He drives a Tacoma if that helps any..

My husband is a construction worker and he wears this everyday all day. He absolutely LOVES this belt. He's had it for a couple years now so it's pretty worn, but it's a well made product that can really take a beating.

Hi Deanna As best I can recall, this had been advertised as a heavy duty stapler. In fact, if you surf the net, you will find numerous retailers still calling it that, although the manufacturer seems to have abandoned this, in favor of stressing its "All Steel Construction". I suspect it will hold up fine for light work. Would you like to buy some staples?

I have owned this belt for over a year. I used it a lot at first, but not much lately. It works very well, in fact, I plan on using it more often.

Just like James stated below I haven't push it that far but currently I have 2 45 rubberized plates on then (larger than solid steel plates) and I would say I have enough room to out 4 on each side but the nylon braided core do rope will fail first. For a home gym I think it's adequate as it fits the cage very well.I wouldn't push it past 200 personally but if your lifting that kind of weight in a pulldown you should be telling me how to workout! I'm just a desk jockey trying to stay in shape at home..Very pleased with both the construction quality of it and the cage with the price I paid for them...However I think it was in the instructions and cab be found on X marks website.

One main word on this belt "AWSOME" and yes it is rigid the only draw back it i feel it needs more velcro on the leading point of the belt but i use it for my everyday use and for my battle belt rig and my shooting rig.

I haven't found much out on the warranty, but I wouldn't expect too much. I did have the belt snap and called the company who supplied another belt free of charge. Of course, we had to figure out how to put it on - which we did. But now this newer belt is already getting loose and skipping, so I'm thinking when it snaps again of just throwing the whole thing out on the curb for scrap collectors. My opinion has indeed soured on this item even more. If you haven't bought it yet - don't. If you have, then try calling their number which is in the booklet that came with the machine. They are relatively friendly, but I've had mine for about 2 years now and am sure I'm out of warranty myself. I haven't found much out on the warranty, but I wouldn't expect too much.

I have stretched it over huge heavy loads of bagged leaves in the bed of my pickup truck and it has not torn. It seems to be made of quality bungee cord material. Let me suggest though that one might do well to remove 12 of the 16 hooks as all you really need are the corner hooks. The excess hooks, if left on, present a huge problem with the whole net getting snarled up like a Gordian knot. I have stretched this net from the front tie downs, up and over bags that were 2' higher than the cab and then connected to the bottom of the rear bumper with no problems. But, of course, I lash a few pieces of 550 nylon line over the top to prevent shifting and to secure the load more snugly.
