Through the leather straps the harness easily connects to the loaded tool belt distributing weight off one's hips sharing the load across the shoulders. It also comes with an adjustable chest strap and 2 metal tape measure clips that are conveniently chest-located on either side of the padded harness for quick and easy tape measure access. The BT-LT Belt Lifters may be used with our Builders Belt.
The Veto Pro Pac BT-LT Belt Lifters are designed for adult builders and tradespeople who frequently carry heavy tool belts. They offer a significant benefit by redistributing weight from the hips to the shoulders, reducing strain during long workdays. A potential caveat is that users need to ensure proper adjustment for optimal comfort and weight distribution.
