I agree , this is better than any other available holsters. It does  protect your leg. Thats in itself makes it superior. In addition you get  extra storage in the side pockets. Kind of like having a mini bucket boss  right there in front of your tool bags. It's still not secure enough for me  though.  I hate when my drills take a dive. They get dropped enough as it  is. Who has the patience to strap a drill in every time they use it? I've  been on a lot of jobs and have seen hundreds of drills in holsters. I've  seen about two that were actually strapped in. The only holder I trust  completely is the Prazi Big Lugg. It is far superior for keeping your drill  stuck to your side. Just drop it in and you're good to go.  Bend over, lay  down , jump , It doesn't matter. It's still there. Impossible with a  holster. So I have mixed feeling about this product. It is the best in it's  class. But I think that class is losing favor with the Big lugg on the  market.
