“D” Size

Ordering Bashlin Tool Belts

Sizing • The proper sizing of lineman’s tool belt is critical. • An improperly sized belt is uncomfortable and may cause an accident or injury. • All lineman’s tool belts are measured and must be ordered according to the “D” size. • This is the distance between the heels of the D-rings. Sizing Instructions • Locate the point where the heel of the “D” ring should rest (photo 1). • As photo 1 illustrates, this is approximately 4" down from top of hip bone. • Begin to measure from this point. • Measure around buttocks to same point on opposite side (photo 2). • When a properly sized tool belt is worn, D-rings will point nearly straight ahead (photo 3). • Tongue adjustment will also be in center holes as shown in photo 3. • To properly size Padded Rest-A-Back tool belts, add 2" to your standard “D” measurement.
