Abstract

A tool holder compatible with MOLLE/PALS webbing systems has a holder body defining a tool compartment with a holder opening, a back surface extending along a holder longitudinal axis, a bottom surface, and a front surface. A strap has a first end secured adjacent a top end of the tool holder with the strap body extending down along the holder back surface and around the bottom surface to the strap distal end portion, which includes a connector first portion. A connector second portion is secured to a holder front surface for releasably engaging the connector first portion. When the connector first portion engages the connector second portion, the strap wraps around the holder bottom surface and extends part way upward along the holder front surface.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 727,217, titled TOOL VEST and filed on Jun. 1, 2015.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to wearable tool holders. More particularly, the present invention relates to a tool vest and attachments for webbing-based attachment systems, such as MOLLE interlock attachment systems.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]Workers engaged in industrial plant maintenance, construction work, and the like use a variety of hand tools to perform tasks. The work commonly takes place at various heights above the ground and at times is positioned over machinery or other workers. Accordingly, working at height provides many reasons to avoid dropping tools. For instance, a dropped tool wastes time and energy of the worker who must climb down from an elevated location to retrieve the dropped tool before work can continue. Of...
