Very happy with my item. Definitely recommend going here.Response from the ownerWe really appreciate your support and that you took the time to leave us a review. We look forward to meeting the rest of your team! Jason P. ★★★★★ Craftsmanship is top notch!! Loving the B-MaxResponse from the ownerThank you, Jason. Glad the B-Max is getting the job done for you. Aidan F. ★★★★★ I’ve owned my modular loop rig for a month now. I cannot say enough how great the belt is. Comparing it to all the other big name brands I’ve tried; the support and weight distribution are amazing and I can actually fill my belt with everything I need without the strain and back pain I would get doing the same with my old belts. The placement of all the tool slots and the build quality are exceptional. I’ve been very happy with my purchase. The only thing I could maybe recommend would be to make the tape pocket slightly larger as it’s a pretty tight squeeze for my 25ft even after it’s worn in a bit. Thank you for the great product. I will definitely recommend to the rest of my crew.Response from the ownerSo glad to hear Aidan. That tape pocket should break in over time to fit your tape perfectly. 👍 Ryan C. ★★★★★ I have bought the trimmer,b mini ,rear framer and a modular loop set up and about to purchase two more for my guys I absolutely love my belt the placement of everything is perfect. My guys love the set ups. I’ve been wearing mine for the past year and have been building for 20 years and have never felt more comfortable with a tool beltResponse from the ownerYou've got an awesome collection your building, Ryan! Thank you for your support and making Akribis such a big part of your team. Honoured to support fellow tradespeople. Tyler W. ★★★★★ I own a full service carpentry outfit. I ordered 2 belts for myself. One set up for finish carpentry and one for exteriors/framing work. I was originally looking at Atlas 46 belts but I came across Akribis leather. The other brand makes nice equipment as well but what drew me to Akribis leather was how well thought out the bags were. That, and the fact that I prefer leather because it doesn’t absorb my stank after a hard days work like cloth tool belts do. When my belts arrived they were everything I’d hoped they’d be. Keep up the great work Akribis! Very stoked!Response from the ownerAwesome, Tyler! So pumped you've got your new setup. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Chad D. ★★★★★ I’m fairly young into my carpentry career and have had this belt for two years now, and it’s a huge relief knowing I’ll never have to buy another tool belt again. This thing is so incredibly well made and thought-out. It was clearly designed by someone who knows exactly what carpenters are looking for in a belt. Durable, comfortable, and efficient. Worth every penny.Response from the ownerChad, thank you for taking the time to write a review and for writing one with such meaningful experience. That's awesome. Thank you for your support, Chad! prabhjot S. ★★★★★ Excellent products built to last long built with a functional design that works for the tool organization and increased efficiency.But should use reliable courier service as my order got misplaced by Canada post but got my package at lastThe pouch is great with number of dedicated spot for almost all the tools electrician use.The pockets were stiff at first but got flexible after use of a week.The pouch is comfortable to wear as I am using on buckroo leather 2 inch belt even it is heavy.The pouch is solid built will last long definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy a good leather pouch.Response from the ownerHi, Prabhjot. I am so sorry to hear about your order not being delivered properly. Please send me an email: info@akribisleather.com. You purchased the package protection which means we can easily file a claim for you for reimbursement. Send me an email and we'll get this taken care of. Thank you for you review. Jamie G. ★★★★★ Outstanding craftsmanship!!! Highly recommended!!Response from the owner🙏 Thanks, Jamie! Hugo T. ★★★★★ Great quality and design. The best carpenter set up belt I’ve ever used. Thank you so much !Response from the ownerYou're welcome, Hugo. We're so glad you love your set up. Thank you for your support! Alan T ★★★★★ If you’re looking for a new set of bags i highly recommend Akribis Leather. Great quality and design. Have had for over 6 months they’ve held up great. I will be ordering a custom set soon!Response from the ownerThanks, Alan! We appreciate your support. Carlo D. ★★★★★ Exceeded any and all expectations I had for their products, the tape holder on the SLT Max took about a week to break in nicely, I carry a 35’ Milwaukee and I have no issues whatsoever taking it in and out, the pencil holders on the R1HBD+ also took about a week to break in nicely and the diagonal hammer sheath is super convenient. As if they weren’t light enough already, matched up with their suspenders the rig feels super light and comfy. Another thing I love is the capability of being able to swap/replace the fastener bag on their left side bags incase your needs at work change or if in the DISTANT future you need to swap it due to wear and tear. All around amazing product, super comfy, efficient tool placement all around, will definitely buy another set if the need ever comes due to how well built they are!Response from the ownerSo good to hear, Carlo! Thank you for your review and for your support, it means a lot. Mitchell E. ★★★★★ Love my tool belt. Got all the bells and whistles on it and use it every dayResponse from the ownerThanks, Mitchell! We appreciate your review and love that you’re enjoying your new belt. sean C. ★★★★★ absolutely love the tool belt I got. The shipping was shorter then expected wich was very nice and the fit of it is amazing it is so comfortable for me, the quality and care put into this belt is astounding really I will never own a different kind of pouch thank you so much for the fabulous product👍Response from the ownerThat’s awesome, Sean!! Thank you for your support. We appreciate that you took the time to write a review and let people know about your experience. 👍 js_loader

Founder Story.

Luke started working in carpentry in 1996. He has gone on to build approximately 400 homes and has run his own concrete and framing company since 2005. He’s always been a perfectionist with a high value for hard work, accuracy, honesty, and relationship. He treats his employees the way he would want to be treated. After a frustrating 2 years of trying to find a leather tool belt that understood the needs of the trades he ended up making his own. This quickly started to get attention on every job site for its efficiency, quality and proper tool placement. He started making them for his crew and others in the local area. The expansion of this into other trades and modular set ups has grown the product line to serve most trades and ship tool belts around the world. They are still and will remain hand made in Canada to ensure that quality will never be sacrificed and that innovation can continue to happen on the shop floor every day.
