Tool Belts for the DIY'er

[snowpro90]

With the miscellaneous remodeling projects that have come and gone, I'm at it again. I recently started remodeling our living room and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a decent tool belt. $50 is my budget.

Check this stuff out I have a handful of these. I like them because its a modular system you can buy a belt and add what you want or you can buy a set and change one thing on it later. http://www.menards.com/main/tools-hardware/tool-storage/tool-bags-belts/c-9186.htm?brandName_facet=ToughBuilt
The quality is great I have had zero problems with any of the things I own by them.

For DIY ??? .... something minimalist or modular, is my suggestion.

... and something like this, nearby to where you're working.

Unlike a tradey, I cant wander around a jobsite with a loaded toolbelt,
... without stabbing myself in the leg with a screwdriver or something,
... watching stuff fall out of the belt ... to the base of the ladder,
... or scratching materials/product I'm carrying, with all the junk hanging off a belt.

... so a small, belt toolholder, and a bucket works great for me.

+1 I have a a few pretty good tool belts that never get used. I prefer a small tote that holds everything I need for the job.
