A belt holster that keeps wedges and small tools within reach on the ground.
A heavy duty multi-tool holster rides on your belt and keeps wedges, a scrench, a file, and other small tools within reach while you fell and buck. No more walking back to the truck for a wedge in the middle of a cut.
When the back cut starts to close, you need a wedge right now, not one sitting on the tailgate. A belt holster keeps two or three wedges, a scrench, and a file on your hip so they are always there when the saw stops, and they do not get lost in brush and sawdust.
Pair it with a logging belt and a set of plastic wedges for a complete felling kit. See our other wedges and holsters for wedges to fill it.
It also keeps the scrench handy for quick chain-tension checks, which saves a walk back to the truck every time the chain loosens after a few cuts. A tool you can reach is a tool you actually use.
Wear the holster on your non-saw side so it does not catch on the saw or your chaps, and carry only what you need so it does not drag on your belt. Keep sharp tools sheathed.
Shake sawdust out at the end of the day and let it dry out if it gets wet. Felling and bucking should only be done by trained workers wearing chaps, helmet, eye and hearing protection, following ANSI Z133.

It is made to hang from a work or logging belt. Check the belt loop size against your belt.
That depends on wedge size. Most sawyers carry two or three wedges plus a scrench.
