 Really easy to use in the field Jan 12, 2008
By Owens Valley Rockhound
"Owens Valley Rockhound"
While not a think of beauty the thing is it works. Sheaths are difficult to use until they're really and I mean really broken in. I've just about always found them to be a two handed operation. They're great for storage but if you really intend to carry a rock hammer for use in the field then get one of these. Point the handle to the sky, slide the pointed or chisel end into the tube, set the hammer head on the 'U' hook and just drop the hammer to the side. The 'U' hook is tall enough that the hammer doesn't easily bounce out. Besides working better than a sheath the Estwing Hammerlock Pick is Holster also cheaper!

Nice Holster Dec 28, 2007
By David A. Long
"Gold Miner"
Pros: It definitely holds the hammer in place and prevents you from getting stuck by the sharp pick end.
Con: The PVC end of the holster is actually sharp. I rounded the corners down and all is good now.

 Most useful piece of equipment Jan 05, 2010
By A. Costa
I've been using the holster for a year and it is very durable and handy. The design makes taking the hammer out a one hand task that is accomplished in seconds. There is no snagging like with leather holsters. Storing the hammer is just as easy which is critical so one doesn't lose their hammer in the field. Very much worth getting. I've found the holster works best with GI quick release belt buckles that one can find at army surplus stores.

 bulky and noisy Sep 27, 2011
By dolomite
I used this holster for 2 field seasons before retiring it. Now I use a $4 Wolverine leather hammer loop that I bought from Home Depot. I gave up on this holster because it's really annoying to have such a big non-flexible object around the waistline when I'm walking up steep slopes and hopping down ledges. Also, the hammer is way too loose in the plastic enclosure so there's a lot of noise generated from even gentle walking. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because it did last me 2 field seasons which I did not expect from a plastic object. Save yourself the annoyance and go to the hardware section of Home Depot and get a belt-loop hammer holster.

 Holster is bulky May 19, 2011
By EngrGirl
For work out in the field, I find this hammer holster bulky and uncomfortable. A regular hammer holster from a hardware store is a much wiser purchase. The plastic holster grinds against your hammer while you are walking, making a lot of noise. The "quickdraw" hook is really inconvenient when you are up a steep slope and are trying to put the hammer back in the holster.
