Benefits of technology

[0004] This invention has one or more features as discussed subsequently herein. After reading the following section entitled “DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ONE EMBODIMENT OF THIS INVENTION,” one will understand how the features of this invention provide its benefits. These benefits include, but are not limited to: avoidance of lateral movement of a tool pouch carried on the user's belt, positioning the pouch at single place along the user's waist for easy and convenient access to tool in the pouch, and elimination of any discomfort associated with lateral movement of the pouch along the belt.

This assurance of always knowing where the tools are enables the user to grab quickly the desired tool without having to take his or her eyes off the work.

Problems solved by technology

The problem with such a pouch is that it moves laterally between the belt loops, and consequentially, it is difficult or inconvenient for the craftperson to access a tool in the pouch or the lateral movement creates discomfort.
