Geboor Washable Oxford Fabric Gardening Tool Belt, 7-Pocket

Whether you need a tool belt just for gardening or for working on a variety of household projects, it’s great to invest in a belt that’s sturdy, comfortable and that offers proper organization for all your accoutrements.

A tool belt made of stiff material will withstand harder use and damage by sharp implements such as clippers and gardening knives. The drawback to this material is that it can be uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, especially if you bend down frequently, trapping the pockets between your body and your legs.

Conversely, while lighter and more flexible material is more comfortable to wear, it will pierce and tear more easily. Balancing your specific needs with your preferences will guide you to the gardening tool belt that’s right for you.

Also, take a look at how the tool pockets are secured to the belt itself. Pockets sewn directly to the belt will remain exactly in place while you wear them, but if the belt or the “buckle” fails or is uncomfortable, the entire set is rendered useless. “Loop” style pockets can be moved from one belt to another, but they can also shift unexpectedly in ways that can be uncomfortable or potentially dangerous.
