Dickies Men's Leather Mechanic No-Scratch Work Belt - Buckleless, Snap-On Belt

This belt has been incredible, it has lasted 5 years and 10 months of 60 hour work weeks in harsh Arizona conditions, exposed to strong solvents, grease and oil. The stitching finally started coming apart and the layers are separating. Glad to see it’s still available to purchase again.

I am really glad I bought this belt! It's perfect. It does everything it was designed to do. There's no exposed metal, you can tell there's a metal plate sewn into the leather which includes the metal pin that sticks out toward you instead of having a traditional buckle. It kinda feels backwards at first putting it on, because instead of having the extra length of belt go over the belt into a loop after buckling, this one you slide the extra belt under through a loop and then notch it, if that makes sense. If not, you'll see what I mean when you get the belt, and either way it's not a bad thing, it just feels different at first. The best part to me is the fact that this belt will NOT set off metal detectors, as I have to pass through one every day at work. It's the only real reason I bought this belt so I am very pleased to confirm that it doesn't set them off. A huge added bonus is that this belt is probably the most comfortable belt I've ever owned, due to it's design of not having a metal buckle right at your waist. I have to bend down and over a lot at work, and sometimes which a buckled belt it could pinch or otherwise cause discomfort; not so at all with this belt, it completely eliminates any of that. The sizing is great too. I am a 33 waist, which means I usually have to find 34 pants/shorts and wear a belt. For the record I got the Medium 34-36 size, and it turned out perfect for me. There are seven notches in the belt, and I am right at the fourth/middle one. Lastly, the price was what? $12? And the brand is Dickies, a terrific brand which is known for work attire so I know it will last a long time. Perfect! UPDATE: I ended up coming back and buying a Small size of this belt as well. I must have lost a bit of weight, because I started needing the 5th hole and sometimes the 6th on the medium. The problem with that is, it creates a lot of extra belt and having that became a bit uncomfortable, so I figured the Small would be more my size. First, I will mentioned I paid $17 this time as I guess the price fluctuates, but still well worth it in my opinion. When I got it, it looked like it would be too small, but if you line the belts up side-by-side, the holes do match up to where what was the 6th hole on the Medium is only the 2nd on the small, meaning there's very little "extra" belt to have to tuck in, so whether I go with that hole or a little looser on the 1st hole, either way is more comfortable. I've added some pictures. The Small is 40" long, the Medium is 44".

The belt looks great and fits great. No more buckle belts for me.

Belt is fairly thick and stiff making it feel sturdy and reliable. The buckle is a clever single pin which is pointing inward and goes through a hole in the tail end of the belt, which runs in behind the outer piece. Think of it like the pin-and-tuck watch band. My only improvement would be to make the pin slightly longer. Overall very satisfied with the belt.

every and all mechanic must get one!

I didn’t expect a belt to change my daily workflow—but the Dickies Men’s Leather Mechanic No-Scratch Work Belt showed up, removed friction from my life, and then disappeared… in the best possible way. First, the buckleless design is pure genius. No bulky metal. No accidental scratches on toolboxes, car paint, appliances, or anything else you lean against while working. It’s the kind of belt you forget you’re wearing until you realize nothing is getting scuffed anymore. That alone feels like an upgrade. The snap-on system is solid and confidence-inspiring. Once it’s set, it stays put—no slipping, no gradual loosening, no mid-day adjustments. It just holds your pants exactly where they’re supposed to be and gets on with its job. Quietly. Reliably. Professionally. The leather quality punches above its weight. Thick, sturdy, and built to handle real use—not “light-duty pretending to be tough.” It flexes just enough to be comfortable while still feeling durable, like it’s going to age well instead of fall apart after a few months.

Most belts cause me to have allergic reactions to the cheap metal in their buckles, but not this one. No exposed metal means no irritation, and no scratches on things if I rub up against them. I will keep buying this belt for as long as they make it

decent belt, but the hook on the buckle will deform the holes on the belt fairly quickly

Nice light leather construction. I cut the tag off immediately since it was too visible. Got the medium size. My weight fluctuates a bit so I'm between the 3 middle holes wearing size 30 or 32 pants. Holds true to the name "No scratch". Thinking about getting a black one too.

Immer wieder gerne

Good fit , well made.

I've been looking for a leather belt for ages to use on the motorbike that won't leave scratches on the tank. This is perfect! It's great quality, tank-safe and the sizing chart is accurate (I'm a UK size 8 and chose the small belt). The fastening is quite different to regular buckles and I think that'll take a little while to get used to. The only negative is that it's's a bit expensive, but not as expensive as a respray.

Esperaba que no fuera detectado por el arco de seguridad 😅
