Utility belt advice for pens, cards etc ...

Post by **Seagull1983** » 10 Oct 2018, 19:08

I know it sounds a bit naff but I’m really after something that will hold pens, 739 cards, stickers to place on parcels I can’t deliver, pda machine.

Just find myself fumbling from pocket to pocket and getting flustered.

Anybody else use one ?

Go full on Makita / Milwaukee Framers Tool Belt just don’t let any builders see you with it else you’ll be utterly abused

In all seriousness mate get on eBay and type in Makita 71794, there are loads of different types and you can add them to your Royal Mail belt, could mix and match to suit your needs

I use something almost identical to this, very functional - pockets for pens, P739s etc. : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Airwalk ... SwcR9bt4z4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I put my pen in my shirt pocket, my PDA in my hand and a few spare 739 cards and delivery to neighbour cards in my trouser pocket.
No man bag required.

I can just imagine the merciless ribbing that anyone in our office would get if they came in sporting a Batman style utility belt.

The dude wants a belt let him have his belt; he’ll look mad cool I’m certain

There was a bloke in our office had a little pot with a wet sponge in it fastened to his belt that was before van sharing as surely anything like that will hurt and get in the way as you get in and out of the vans.theres two pockets at the front of your pouch for all your junk.

You could get one of these, the holster would be useful tazers to use on dogs

I've got one of the ones you wear across your body. It's great.

739's in right cargo pocket with a couple of pens, PDA and van key in right pocket, my mobile in left pocket, left cargo pocket is spare for change, sweets, fluff and snotty tissues. Docket left stickers/kill off stickers in van. If I wear my fleece I have even more choice of pockets!

Only carry things you have to have on you to complete the task, otherwise its extra weight added you are carrying for no reason. I know it feels all Gucci wearing a holster and pocuches but you are delivering not storming the Iranian Embassy.
