Ive had mine for 10 years, yes 10 years. It has survived lots operation through out the years. It has one major draw back. The clip allow it to come off your truckmans belt. if they would fix that problem this product would rate a 10+. I cant figure out why Boston Leather hasnt fixed this issue.

The cradle works well but you may find it necessary to use wire to secure it to your ladder belt. It has come completely off in self rescue scenarios and also when your being backed by a vent partner holding on to your axe.

rivets that hold the swivel to the leather are extremely weak. Broke within the first few times of actual use.
