Excellent4.8★★★★★ Based on 36 reviews from review us onChristopher C. ★★★★★ Love the pouch and all the extra accessories you can add after! J'adore ! Et facile de rajouter des accessoires pour combler les besoinsResponse from the ownerThank you, Christopher, for taking the time to write a review. We love that you love your pouch! Thank you for your support. Bedford HVAC Solutions L. ★★★★★ I bought the B mini front worn for sheet metal work (HVAC) and this thing is by far the nicest belt for what I need/want on the job. I’ve tried so many different pouch setups before trusting a standard off the shelf setup From Akribis and this thing is honestly the perfect tool belt for what I need. The options available make Akribis the best place for any trade to buy a tool belt.Response from the ownerJon! Thank you for your review and for your support. We're so pumped to hear that the B-Mini is just what you were looking for. Garrett D. ★★★★☆ I've been thoroughly impressed by the quality and build of these bags. I've purchased several pairs and each has had a unique experience. Some things could be better by improving variety and placement of various pockets and tools. However, they've been some of the best pairs I own, especially for the price. It's been awesome.Response from the ownerThank you, Garrett, for your support and feedback! Wil. P ★★★★★ After being on the fence for a while because of the price, I took the leap and got an Akribis setup and I’m SO happy I did. Went in to the storefront location in Summerland to get fitted for a new framing setup and much needed upgrade from my old Dewalt pouch. From the moment I walked in I was kindly greeted and helped all the way through the process. The people in that shop are the best! Super kind, helpful and professional and at the same time they didn’t push any products on me. Bought a full kit and have been framing with it for just about a week and without a doubt worth every penny. Would absolutely recommend their product, the quality is so top notch. When the time comes for another, you can bet I’ll be buying Akribis again! 10/10Response from the ownerWil! Thank you for coming in. It was great to meet you. Thank you, so much, for your support and for taking the time to write us a review. Cheers! wade M. ★★★★★ I was in today to get fitted for a new pouch. After over 15 years of running the same pouch my biggest fear was having something completely different. Dustin was able to hook me up and get me exactly what I'm use to. Of course totally upgraded! Thank you again.Response from the ownerYou are most welcome. It was great to meet you, Wade! We love helping people find their way into a belt that makes their day to day better. It was great to hear a bit about you and your work. All the best to you, your business, and your crew. Cheers! Joshua D. ★★★★★ Such amazing service! The product quality is unsurpassed, a great experience overall!Response from the ownerIt was so great to meet you guys today! Thank you for coming in. Tanner J. ★★★★★ I purchased the B-max having never worn a front tape bag before based solely on the fact this it was the flag ship product.I’m very impressed with the layout of the bags and ease of access to my tape measure in the front position.I added the LSX bags instead of the standard which I wouldn’t do again and I now know I would have preferred the standard bag.Over all, great product and very well laid out.Response from the ownerThank you, Tanner, we really appreciate your review. So happy you’re loving your B-Max!! Josue H. ★★★★★ Compré una SLT Max y es la mejor bolsa de herramientas que he tenido...se ve hermoso y se siente muy suave la textura del cuero tiene un diseño perfecto, la calidad del cuero es increíble 👌 Akribis Leather lo mejorResponse from the ownerThank you, so much. We're thrilled that you're loving the SLT Max. Jerry W. ★★★★★ This place is absolutely awesome. Amazing leather toolbelts for every imaginable trade. Very very high quality. The last tool belt you will ever need to buy.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share your experience, Jerry! Nicolai G. ★★★★★ Holy moly what beautiful products! Never been more comfortable on site.Response from the ownerThanks, Nicolai! It’s awesome to hear. Thank you for taking a minute to let people know. Kelson L. ★★★★★ If you think this is specifically for framers or carpenters only, then you can dismiss that thought. The customization at offer makes it possible for any trade to make something that works for the work they do.I really had a niche thought to finish out the setup I had in place and they had so much flexibility that I found exactly what I needed.Shockingly well priced for something hand made with quality leather materials.I cannot recommend it enough to check out what they have to offer if you're interested in something that will last you and serve you.Response from the ownerThank you, so much, for your review, Kelson. We're excited you found just what you were looking for. Thank you for your support! Quinn F. ★★★★★ This is build a bear, for trades workers. I went in and picked out every peice of my rig and it is by far the best and comfiest set up I have used. They set it up for me and helped me size it so i was comfy with support for my lower back, I have non stop compliments since owning it and that's just a small bonus. Thank you guys for helping me pick my new favorite set up!Response from the ownerQuinn! You are so welcome, man. It was awesome to meet you and to help you build what you needed. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review and share your experience. Steve B. ★★★★★ I've had my original rig for probably 15 years now and it was time for an upgrade. The quality of your products are phenomenal. After doing some research, and realizing you're located in BC as well, I wanted to support a local business. I received my B-Max last week, and it's amazing. I went with the diagonal hammer loop, and what a difference it makes. As a renovation carpenter, I feel like I need a little bit of everything in my rig, and the B-Max does the job. I feel like a million bucks wearing it! Thanks again Luke and the rest of the team!Response from the ownerYou are so welcome, Steve! Thank you for your support. We're thrilled that you're loving your B-Max. And we are so grateful for your efforts to support local. It means a lot. Thank you for taking the time to write us and share your excitement and encouragement. For our team, it really is an honour to be able to support our own local tradespeople and those around the world in this way. Aaron P. ★★★★★ Great toolbelts. And the storefront is a huge help.Response from the ownerThanks, Aaron, for your review and for coming into the store. It's awesome to be able to meet tradespeople, hear about their work, and help them find just what they need. js_loader

    We’ve never stopped wondering "what if" and never will. Curiosity keeps us always wanting to know what’s around the corner. How can we get better? How can our designs serve someone better or in a way we’ve never thought of? We're always looking to see how we can pick up and learn from those who have gone before us. We stand on the shoulders of great craftsmen and seek to continue their legacy. We hope to one day be old dogs who still learn new tricks.

  • 3Respect

    Everyone deserves the highest level of respect. If you’re getting started or in pursuit of mastering your craft, we want to build products to suit your needs and give you a head start in what, for some, takes years to find. Part of respect is good communication.

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.
