Sits comfortably at the side. I use the extra slot for my knife and rotate my hammer and tin snips depending if I’m framing, steel stud, and hammer if I’m hanging rock

I had the original hammer holster and decided to upgrade. It's perfect for carrying a cat's paw with my hammer, especially since my non-dominant pouch doesn't have a cat's paw loop.

Aloha, I am a verified purchaser giving an unbiased review of the DBX hammer holster X. I purchased two holsters for both the dominant and non dominate sides. I am a finish carpenter and I carry a two sided soft blow & a regular hammer with me at all times. I made the purchase about a month or so ago and really wanted to give that product a fair shake. To be completely honest, it’s a love:hate relationship; love it because it give you the the versatility to carry a hammer & pry- bar, hate it because ot pushes your pouches too far out where you have to go side ways to go through studs. Most of “us” carpenters are using the martinez hammers or stilettos and I find it hard to quick draw because of the friction from the materials used. Diamondback should somehow counteract this by using something slicker. After all, they went as far as using the proprietary material on the inside of their pouches to prevent wear & tear on your pants. Diamondback take it a step further where rubber handled hammers can move in & out freely from the holsters. Yes, the hammer sleeve was shortened to alleviate this.but maybe put some kind of material that will allow a quick draw. Diamondback is built by the feedback of “real” carpenters to make their product better. Overall, its an ok product. I still have to add electrical tape to the end of my hammer handle to freely slide it in and out. Again, I am a verified purchaser giving an honest review. Nuff said, ALOHA!

I had this holster attached to my Continental tool bags for 4 years, but this time I got a new holster and the diamondback whole set!

Good upgrade to the old hammer holster. The shorter length holster and new bar holder are great. Only complaint is the very square edges of the bar holder catch and poke my leg whenever I go to put my hammer back in. Make it a rounder or softer edge and it'd be perfect.
