Ready Shovel Belt Holster

5 mile · Mar 6, 2017

I bought a Ready Shovel holster for my T-handle Sampson about 1 year ago.

I had noticed recently a crack forming in the plastic carrier portion of the holster, until it finally broke off, so I contacted the manufacturer and expressed my concern.

They sent out a replacement plastic portion at no charge and had it in days.

They stand behind their product.

Made of very thick leather and I wouldn't be w/o my holster for carrying my shovel, especially in fields or woods.

The rivets on mine had broken through the leather. I cut those out and used two 1/4 x 20 nuts and bolts, a little gorrila glue. It's been holding good going on 3 years.

I'm also using the screw/nut hardware after having the stock assy coming loose and getting lost. My plastic has also broken after tons of usage, Dennis quickly sent a replacement plastic section.

I had used a tad of thread lock after seeing the screw/nut assy working loose again...that made it impossible to disassemble, which lead to me using the 1/4 x 20 screw. They should really have a slot on both sides on the factory unit.

I love the carrier and used them for many years. Y'all check the assembly from time to time for looseness.

T-nuts might bite too deep and damage the plastic.
Holster not made with rivets, made with screw posts.

You can get t-nuts without teeth, and I've broken the teeth off before using too..

I make most of my own sheaths and holders. I see a lot of people who use to small of rivets or screws and they just pull through the material. With small screws and rivets you need some kind of a larger washer under them to prevent that from happening.
