Tool vests or aprons are another way for carrying around your tools at work. These fit like ordinary vests and aprons: around the shoulders, around the waist, or across the front. Most of these are made from cotton or sturdier duck materials and, in many cases, offer more pockets for storing your tools. Choose from vests and aprons by Carhartt, Bucket Boss, and other manufacturers. In terms of storage, many of these vests and aprons have larger pockets and are ideal for carrying larger items like power tools. Smaller items can still fit, additionally, as many of these tool vests and aprons still have small or narrow pockets for nails, bolts, and other materials.
