Fantastic for daily use
Got this to replace my boyfriend's exact same belt that he had bought YEARS ago as a work belt (he is an electrician). He has exercised himself out of a comfortable size on his old belt, but still really liked its construction, sturdiness, handiness, and excellent daily wear. ALL of the tools built into the hardware are useful to him, and has stood up to daily use for years, likely with more years left on his old belt, if he hadn't slimmed down to a more comfortable fit on a smaller size. The new one is still made the same, and is holding up as just as sturdy. Looking forward to a long life on this one as well.

... two days later with a larger belt that fit perfect. I've already made use of the bottle opener ...
I initially order a belt that was too small and had to return it but I got a replacement belt two days later with a larger belt that fit perfect. I've already made use of the bottle opener multiple times. The leather is good quality and the the snaps that hold the belt to the belt buckle are awesome and allow you to easily remove the buckle without damaging the belt just in case you'd want to but the on another buckle for some strange reason or put the tool buckle on another belt. Thanks guys!

Better than I expected.
The belt buckle where the tools are comes apart entirely. It has unsnapable buttons to make for easier use, you don't need to take off the entire belt to use the tools.Downside: Only medium size was available. I am usually a 34inch waist and to wear this belt it is on the second to last hole. There are about 8 holes so there is some range for sizing. I got this two weeks before expected delivery.

I hope you get a good one
I've owned this belt for a while and I give the theory a 5 out of 5 stars, the belt that I received (as a gift) had poor quality control and the bottle opener was slightly misshapen and was useless. I foolishly attempted to use a file to reshape it, but it didn't work out. The number of times that I've used the screwdrivers has been limited, but they are nice to have.It's a bit awkward to encounter a problem that needs engineering and then to undo your belt.Also, opening bottles by holding it to your *ahem* beltline is something of a statement.I didn't find the sizing too weird. I just wish that I hadn't gotten a dud.

Fantastic Customer Service and Nice Quality Belt
I ordered this to arrive just a few days before Christmas. The belt arrived and was the quality that I'd expect it to be - not superior, but decent quality pressed leather. The metal findings seem sturdy and functional. Unfortunately, the size was wrong. As the order form clearly stated XL, the customer service rep was very apologetic, sent me a replacement that we received 2 days later, and let me keep the medium for free. I couldn't have asked for better help! The belt was a well-received gift by all three recipients.

Looks really cool until the black paint peels off the metal part.
I got this belt for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it. The only thing is that while the black leather and black metal look really good, the black paint peels off of the metal hardware part a little to easily.

Would recommend buying one size above what you would desire
Bought it for my partner, who said it's exactly what he was looking for. He's very thin, but I got him a medium and it fits perfectly. Would recommend buying one size above what you would desire. Other than that, lovely product.
