This Rear Guard from Bucket Boss is awsome!! I am a Direct Tv installer and use the rear guard every day at work. It is just big enough for for the few tools I need to do my job. I have used it for a little over a year now and it is just starting to wear down. I was so happy with it I just bought a new one. Bucket Boss did a fine job when they crafted this item. I really recomend this item.

This is a well thought out design, but like other reviews...the company needs to redesign the pocket bottoms to prevent punctures. Aside from that I am well sastified with the price and value.

I am a professional electrician and have owned several of these. They are the handiest tool pouches and are priced right. The construction is a little on the weak side. The seems blew out of most of them and the snap broke off one of them after 2 days of use.
Overall it is a good product but you may want to purchase two and have one on hand for later. If you usually stuff tools in your back pocket this is for you.

I really liked this product because it holds what I need most of the time (I install cable TV cable and devices). Goes on and off your belt in a snap. Could have been made with leather or something a bit tuffer. I put a hole in mine rather quickly with my screwdriver, but I still like it.

Generally well made. Major problem is that the belt snap loop is designed too small to go around the manufacturer's own tool belt strap, so you must hang it off your regular pants belt.

I use my gaurd everyday in a lumber yard. I carry a tin snips, marker, pens, knife etc... and this little thing works wonders. However, since I am jumpin in and out of forklifts all day I cant use it with my back pockets and the handle to the snips poke me in the stomach if I put it in the front pocket so I wear it on my side. When I do this and the pouch gets snagged a little bit on something it tears away off my belt due to the snap belt enclosure or the weight of my tools itself will do the same. Somebody said they wished it had a clip but I have used that system on the knife sheath and it has its problems. So I would say they need a slide through beld system like on their leather goods.

Im a service electrician, so i do small jobs all day long and in between im in the truck driving to the next job ,so i put tools on, put tools away all day long. I got tired of putting holes in my back pockets by carring screw drivers ect.. my regular tool pouch is big and hangs on my belt so it was too much of a pain to undo my belt when i arrive and then again when i leave. This baby solved that problem. I ended up using it in my front pocket, more comfortable and excessable. It did wear out in 8 mo.'s so im ordering a new one. if they beefed up the bottom of pouch so screwdrivers wouldn't eventually pop through i'd give it 5 stars.

Excellent pouch for electricians who usually put there pliars & screwdriver in back pocket. You can fit pliers,strippers,2 screwdrivers& tester. Downside; it only lasted about 6 months.

I do lots of low voltage wiring. It's great to just stick it in your rear pocket which makes it very handy. I only wish they'd make the same item with more storage pockets. Instead I had to buy 2.

There's many great features to this pouch. The snap makes it handy to take on and off. The padded insert keeps the tools from poking you in the rear (Especially handy if you happen to fall). I keep my electrical tools in it & have saved myself several trips up & down the ladder..

The only drawback is that the padded insert , while keeping the rig from sliding around, also fills your back pocket.. Not a problem as long as you don't keep your wallet or rag in that pocket..

Great for the Weekend Warrior - Review written on November 06, 2002

The product is well designed with ample space for several small tools. Gardening is my hobby and this product has been a fantastic assistant. I have successfully held my Hori-Hori (an exceptional weed digging tool) in the deepest pocket, garden pruners and utility knife in the middle pocket, cell phone, leatherman tool and pencil in the front pockets and garden wire on the hanging metal clip. It is extremely versatile with the ability to be attached with the belt clip or slipped into your back pocket. However slipping it in your back pocket restricts usage of the back pouch pocket to the thinnest of tools. Overall I have found this product to meet or exceed my expectations. One caveat is that the durability of this product is in question and is suited for the weekend warrior only. Masons, carpenters and other professionals that require their tools to tolerate severe conditions would be best served by spending the additional money and upgrade to a high quality leather tool belt that will last a lifetime. The bottom line is you get what you pay for...

Great tool carrier, I always have it on at work. Keeps my utility knife, pencil, and leatherman tool handy. Its not too big but carries a lot of my tools. Small and light enough to be worn all day, sometimes I forget its there.

I really liked the pouch. It comes in very handy. I did find after a few uses that the stitching started to let go and pliers or channellocks would start lean out or fall out. It was very difficult to repair.

It's a great item for my mechanic husband, it saves his pants pockets from getting holes in them from his wrenches & screwdrivers. It took him a couple of days to get used to it, but now wears it every day at work. UPDATE: my husband wears this daily at work, filled with his tools. No area showed any sign of wear after 2 years of constant use. His screwdriver finally wore a hole through the pocket and we purchased another one. Got a great 2 1/2 years of use out of this!

Great tool carrier. I put it on when I start work and leave it on all day. So comfortable I forget to take it off. Not bulky or heavy. Keeps hand tools handy without putting on another tool belt.A lot of pockets for such a small thing.

Received as a Christmas gift. Absolute best feature is that, with the snap, you don't have to take your belt off to put it on. Next best features are quality of fabric, construction, and the back pocket insert keeps it from wandering. Used as a holder for just a few tools on a quick job, it's perfect. Anything bigger needs a tool belt or box/bucket anyway.

Typical BucketBoss quality construction and holds all the tools you need to handle most around-the-house jobs. My only complaint is that the belt loop is a little too short to fit securely over my tool belt. I use a 2" Bianchi padded pistol belt as a tool belt and the Rear Guard's snap barely closes over it. It hasn't happened yet, but I can pretty much guarantee that someday I'm going to twist the wrong way, and that snap is gonna pop open, sending the Rear Guard and the tools it holds crashing to the ground. Otherwise, I think it's a terrific product.

I enjoyed this product so much I bought two. It will hold enough tools to do most any qucik job around the house, as is less cumbersome than a full tool pouch. I was surprised at just how much I could get in one. I even put in my small electric screwdriver. While building my home, this pouch was indespensible. It was great for holding tools to install ceiling fans, and plumbing.

I got this as a gift for my husband and I was surprised to find what a great product it was for the price. Durability is important to myself and to my husband and this one will last a long time. For the money, you couldn't do better.
