I don't care much for this holster. I spend a lot of time trying to adjust the holster so it will release my drills. I have two different Dewalt drills and they both wedge in the holster when they tilt forward. It makes it very hard to pull the drill out. Before you buy this look at the DEWALT DG5120 Heavy-duty Drill Holster. It fits the drill MUCH better.
This product holds a cordless drill securely, with no chance of it falling out, yet the drill can be taken out for use easily. A great design and tough material.
As I use "tradesman's" pants this makes the holster of very limited use for me. It will work easily right or left handed but is better cross draw.
I would not use it for a drill/driver smaller than theBosch PS20-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver with 2 Batteries and while it will hold a large drill/driver like the Bosch 17618-01 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Brute Tough Litheon Hammer Drill/Driver with 2 Fat Batteriesyou can not leave the side handle attached which pretty much makes it unusable for the small hammer drills. This holster works well for a mid sized to large drill.
The four bit holders are OK for medium drill or driver bits but not for large or small and they could be more generous with the storage on this holster.If you use this for a drill or driver of the size it is intended for you need a 3 to 4" wide heavy belt (well Duh) preferably a suspenders rig. I had no problems with a bit hitting my leg and the hold down strap is convenient and is held out of the way by Velcro.
Over all a very good design.Quality is excellent and durability should be outstanding. What I missed in the picture is that the belt loop is a good 6" wide and can't be used with many kinds of utility pants without skipping belt loops.
But one of the other guys is talking a trade.
DeWalt D5120 Ballistic Nylon Universal Drill HolsterThe drill holster works great when on a ladder and you need a place to put your drill so it stays within reach. Rugged and made well. Amazon has these at a good price too.
I thought that I needed this holster because I work on a ladder most of the time. Was I right. I don't have anybody to hold the drill for me until I'm ready to use it anymore. well done DeWalt.
