Astra Carpenters Nail & Tool Pouch CEOTP10P Black Oil Tan Leather

The picture shows what appears to be a brown, supple leather pouch, a bit like a good quality Kuny's pouch with an extra pocket and additional hammer holder.Far from it. The pouch I received is black (correctly stated in title) and the leather so stiff, it was uncomfortable to get your hands in and out. Rivets are a problem too.The rivets are finished off inside the pockets with washers under their ends which sit flush on the leather surface. Not only do they scrape the surfaces on tools, but it is to easy to get a fingernail caught between the washer and the leather and cause personal injury. It is pointless having a pouch you have to be conscious of what way you put your hand in and out to avoid tool damage or hand injury.You could buy some Neatsfoot Oil to try and soften the leather to make it workable. The rivets could be removed and replaced with better ones to enable safe entry to the pockets for both your tools and fingers. It depends how keen and determined you are to have a black pouch.The better alternative is to buy a decent quality pouch in the first place. For not much more, eg. Kuny's, is by far superior and can be thrown straight on your belt without a second thought.

Wow, what a cracking tool holder. Well finished. Decent leather and rivets that don't bite when you put your had in the pockets, strong and sturdy hammer holders. Would buy any day of the week. Looks great in the black and stands out against the brown /tan ones.
