we believe tradespeople are the backbone of our communities.
We are champions of the labor athletes, deserving the best possible gear and support to excel on and off the job site. That's why we don't just create the best tool belts – we create a Diamondback difference.
the 5 Pillars of diamondback
DURABILITY
history
Inspired by his experience in the outdoors, Jim Skelton begins crafting tool belts from nylon in his California garage after suffering from a work-related injury
Jim refines his designs based on user feedback and sells his custom, made-to-order tool belts through mail-order ads placed in magazines like Fine Homebuilding.
Jim Skelton passes away. His wife, Lizzie, sells the Diamondback business and equipment to a group in Skagway, Alaska.
The Alaskan company operates Diamondback, consolidating Jim's design concepts to create standard pouches and complete systems.
Connor Crook acquires Diamondback, marking a new chapter for the company with a focus on updating previous designs, developing new products using customer feedback, and volume production.
Diamondback continues to innovate and grow under Connor's leadership, building upon Jim Skelton's original vision of comfortable and functional tool belts for tradespeople.
