Tool Belt
ErgoCue:
Hi all! I'm soon going to be ASMing a show where I'll be the only crew member backstage and need to keep my hands free for quick changes and set changes. Does anyone have any recommendations for a light-weight, sturdy tool belt (or something like it)? It just needs to hold a flashlight, pencils, and a few other small items. Thanks!

I've used a waiter's half apron backstage before. They're cheap and easy to get at any restaurant supply store. They have big enough pockets to hold a run list, pencil, flashlight, and bobby pins/safety pins.

Nite Ize has a variety of tool belts ranging in size. I have the XL Utility Holster and really like it.

The last time I needed somewhere to put things, I made my own little holster using some black fabric offcuts - making your own means it will do exactly what you need it to!!

I usually go to my local military supply store. Their pouches are very sturdy and have clips rather than Velcro, which will eventually wear out. There is also usually a wide selection of sizes and shapes (and they always come in black). I just thread them on to my belt and I am set. Military grade pouches will be more expensive, but they will hold up to a lot.
