I own 6) six of your Tape Measure Holders (No Pouch). I wear 2) two each on the 3) three different types of carpenter tool bags i own, a framing, a finish, and, a rebar tool bag sets. These holders are the absolute best out there on this planet Earth! I can hang any of my pneumatic nail guns, cordless drills/impacts, let alone a tape measure. I typically work 10) ten hour construction days and almost always I’m wearing a tool bag on me. The only suggestion i can offer, based on my experience is to install an additional rivet above and centered across the top of the Tape Holder. I typically don’t watch my hands re-inserting a tool back into it’s particular home in any of my leather pouch locations. What is/can happen is the hook/hanger of any tool gets snagged/pinched/sandwiched between the back of the square plate and the leather. This occurrences tends to allow the leather to shape/warp/distort and create a memory pukka. Thus, a permanent gap is eventually formed and now I must look at the hanger/hook of a tool to be properly inserted. This is only occurring on my right side and i am right handed. What do you think? My solution is going to be just that, drill and insert a matching rivet at this location. When I get to doing that, I’ll shall follow-up with my experienced results.
Thank you for making a solid made in the U.S.A. product!
