How do I break in a tool belt?
Here are a few ways that you can soften the leather on your tool belt:
- Swab the belt with rubbing alcohol — Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball, tissue, or towel. Then, thoroughly swab the belt with the alcohol.
- Use Vaseline — Put some Vaseline or any kind of petroleum jelly on your index finger, and leave it out to dry in the sun.
- Use natural oils — This is one of the best ways to soften a leather belt, because it’s cheap and easy to find. You can use coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, or even almond oil.
- Use a leather conditioner — You can find a lot of leather conditioners or treatment products on the market, and they can come in handy if you need to soften a leather tool belt (even though they’re a little expensive).
Here are some other things that you should be mindful of while you’re using these products:
- Be careful as you use rubbing alcohol, because it can dry out your skin.
- Don’t use too much Vaseline or oil while you’re rubbing the leather, because it can damage the belt.
- You should control the humidity level before and after the softening process.
- You shouldn’t leave the tool belt under the sun or heat for a long period of time.
- You should never use a dryer on your tool belt, because it can cause damage.
Softening a tool belt once a month should be enough if you want to keep it in good condition.
