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

One month so far and loving it. Heavy duty occidental s***. Works perfect for my 25’ fatmax

Looked like a softball when it came in probably because of storing, packaging and shipping...I double wrapped my Stanley Fat Max 25' tape in saran wrap, used warm water to wet the leather and stuffed the tape into the holster. I put a carpenter pencil behind the tape to make the opening a bit larger and stuck the whole thing in a windowsill to dry. A couple days late I attached it to my belt and never looked back...great product. Thanks to sawyer Nathan from Out of the Woods who discussed this on his You-tube channel.

Great quality

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!

I use it constantly. Glad i got it.

Quickly pops out and goes back in

Most trades people use 25' tape measures. Guess what doesn't fit in this tape holder. I took the smallest 25' tape I own, removed the belt clip, forced it into the holster, soaked it in boot oil and left it sit for 2 weeks. It was still too tight to use for that tape.

This is the product you never knew you needed, I was tired of bending over and dropping my 25ft tape measure , so when I came across this holster I thought I would give it a try, and my life has not been the same since. My 25 ft dewalt tape slid right in after removing the belt clip. The leather is very high quality, I would highly recommend this to anyone that uses a tape on the regular. I’ve had it for a few months now and it is perfectly broken in and my tape is staying where it’s supposed to.

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.

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!

Very very high quality. Be advised it only takes a very small tape.

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.
