A Smarter Alternative to Big Tool Belt
For many tradespeople, the traditional tool belt has been the default way to carry tools for decades. While tool belts and a standard work belt get the job done, they often place all the weight on the hips, leading to fatigue and long-term discomfort. The Holstery ModRig offers a different approach, one designed for comfort, efficiency, and real jobsite use.
Why the ModRig?
The ModRig is a modular chest rig that moves essential tools off the hips and distributes weight across the upper body. Instead of relying on overloaded belts or bulky side pouches, the ModRig keeps tools organized, balanced, and within easy reach. This design makes it a solid option for tradespeople looking for an alternative to a traditional tool belt or even a tool vest.
What Is the ModRig?
The ModRig is a chest-mounted platform that works with Holstery’s modular holsters, pouches, magnets, and accessories. It allows users to build a setup tailored to how they actually work, rather than forcing every tool onto a single belt. By keeping tools centered on the chest, the ModRig improves visibility, access, and weight distribution.
Jay from the Jack of All Trades YouTube channel put the ModRig through extended real-world use before sharing his thoughts. As an experienced tradesperson, he specifically points out how moving tools off his hips helped reduce end-of-day pain, something many workers experience after years of relying on a work belt.
The Holstery ModRig is not meant to replace every tool belt on the market. Instead, it offers tradespeople a smarter option when comfort, accessibility, and weight distribution matter most. For those who find traditional tool belts or tool vests uncomfortable over long days, the ModRig provides a well-designed alternative that performs where it counts, on the jobsite.
