Fashionable Utility: 686 Original Snow Tool Belt

screwdriverbelt_atla.jpgThey say "necessity is the mother of invention" and anyone who has regularly snowboarded knows, you'll undoubtedly need a screwdriver/wrench when you're least likely to have one on you. The 686 Snow Tool Belts was made with that in mind, but we think it makes for one awesome handyman's "just in case we need it" utility belt anywhere you go...

i've wanted one of these since i first saw them. I've been snowboarding for 12 years and this would probably helped out, although i don't normally wear a belt when boarding. However, i would wear this everyday, I often need a screwdriver or a bottle opened and sometimes the small swiss army knife i carry can't hold up to the task at hand.

Perfect for when you need to take off your belt and screw.

these are totally great. do you think the TSA would confiscate them at airports?

hey there, I have one of these (based in UK) and have flown to both North and South America and Europe numerous times in past 6 months with no airport security issues whatsoever. Yes that also means the JFK ;-)
