Using the Klein Tools 5118R is a breeze. First, slide it onto your belt. The slotted design allows it to fit belts up to 2 inches wide. Then, place your 7 - to 9 - inch side - cutting pliers in one of the pockets and your 6 - foot folding rule in the other. It's a great way to keep your essential tools within reach while you work. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean and dry. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or moisture. As for storage, just hang it on a hook or keep it in your toolbox when not in use. With its riveted leather construction, it's built to last, but handling it with care will ensure it serves you well for a long time.
