Occidental Leather Clip-On Tape Holster - Holds Up to a 30’ Tape or 25’ FatMax - Proprietary Steel Clip - Heirloom Quality Leather - Made in USA

I just received my new tape pouch today. Very happy to have it. I bought this one as a replacement for another Occidental Leather pouch. I was a bit disappointed the the other one was worn out after only 40 years of daily use! This one seems to be built just like the last one, so more than likely it will out live me! The new one fits a 25’ Fat Max just fine, and it will fit it with or without the belt clip on the tape measure. I prefer to use it without the clip, as that is what the pouch is for and for me it make the repeated process of taking the tape out and putting it back easier, smoother, and without snagging the clip on the pouch. The fit is snug as the pouch is new. After a week or two of use, and very likely a fair amount of sweat absorbed into it, it will be silky smooth from then on. After a couple of weeks I will put a bit of leather dressing on it to keep sweat and moisture from soaking into the leather and rotting the leather. Occidental makes a great product. It took 40 years to wear out the first one. Not many other things you can use 5 days a week for that long before it wears out. Definitely worth the price paid!

Great job

Works great!

Best leather out there. Very heavy duty. I see itblasting me my lifetime if nobody steals it from me. the clip is so tight that you can hang from it. Sometimes too hard to take off the belt but better than being loose.

This tape holder is very well made and it looks like it will last a lifetime. But I couldn't fit a 25' tape or a 30' tape in the holder. My 16' fit very snug. One suggestion is to soak it in warm water for a while to make it more pliable. I'll try that tomorrow. Other than, I can't wait to use this daily!

It’s Occidental of course it’s good.

Really nicely sized for my 25' Fat Boy tape. Tape fits in firmly and it has worn in nicely so the tape comes out fairly well also. This is a rugged and well made tape holder. I like that the tape is in a pouch. That is more secure and less likely to get knocked off when I am working up on scaffolding and ladders. Love the clip on fastener. Allows me to mix and match stuff as I need them for different types of jobs. The clip really stays in place. I have yet to knock it off of my belt. I would recommend this to everyone. In fact, I should get another one.

Holds my tape. Seems durable

This is great - the clip is solid and secures to your belt. You might think it is tight for your tape but it is made tight on purpose - over time the tape measure you choose will stretch it out and it will be a perfect fit. (I have two Occidental tape holders, one on my tool belt and this one). I don't work in the rain so can't comment on that but this is a solid product.

I got it . Thanks

Hold on nice and fit my dewalt 25'/8m tape nicely!

Great tape holder. I use it every day. And its doing very well after a few months.

Clipped right on to my adjust to fit belt system. Very tight, no issue with it pulling off when I take the tape out. I had to put a large dewalt tape measure in it to stretch the leather a bit. But once the leather moulded to the tape it was perfect!
