Most cordless drills come with a clip, so you can hang them from a pocket or a belt. The clips are fine for occasional-use DIY’ers, but they’re not infallible. This Spider Pro Tool Holster is designed for tradespeople who prefer a more secure solution.
Using the holster does require some commitment; the user must install a stud on their drill. There are two options. The first is a $7 Drill Pin that replaces yur drill’s built-in clip, by threading into the OEM hole. (Different manufacturers have been taken into account.)




The second option is this $7 Grip, which is essentially a beefy zip-tie you can place around the tool’s handle. It locks in place with a metal hex nut.
The holster features a vertical channel with a V-shaped top, making it easy to get the pin into the channel. A gravity latch locks it into place.


To remove the drill, the user must lift the yellow latch with their thumb.
That’s the only part that looks iffy to me; I wonder how easy that is (or isn’t) with gloves on.
Lefties have been considered. The latch can be placed on either side by the end user.
And the holster is, of course, not limited to drills; anything you can secure the Grip to will work.
The holster runs $25.
