I got hooked up with an Occidental belt and pouches. I brought my gear into the store so that Edwin and I could fill in the gaps in my current tool belt. I ended up keeping my Klein 2.5” lineman’s pouch, an Atlas 46 hammer holder, and an Atlas 46 drill holster. Everything else, I swapped. I’m a large dude with intentions to lose weight, so buying a pricey leather belt online would’ve been riskier than making the drive out to see them in person.
There’s an armed guard outside the store, which was comforting. The staff was friendly, 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to square away their kit. I live in North County San Diego, so thirty bucks worth of gas gave me peace of mind knowing I got to try on every piece of gear before buying it.
Keep in mind that only a portion of the store’s back wall is dedicated to tool bags; most of the space is devoted to selling all things Milwaukee, Makita, and Klein. The store itself is about the size of a CVS pharmacy, but every square foot oozes quality. The checkout area, usually reserved for bubble gum, featured a classy bucket filled with Makita bit holders and Milwaukee impact-rated sockets. It’s like a bourgeois gun store for screwdrivers.
Gear in photo:
• Occidental black canvas bolt bag
• Occidental tapered tool holster
• Occidental Electrician’s Tool Case
• Occidental 2” leather work belt
I also got an Occidental belt-worn tape clip—it just wasn’t in the photo.
Tools:
• Klein: diagonal cutters, needle-nose pliers, wire strippers, lineman’s pliers, 11-in-1 screwdriver
• Milwaukee: 14-in-1 ratcheting screwdriver, demo flathead, smooth-face 19 oz hammer
• Ridgid: impact driver

I got there at just before 12:00 and I had to wait for them to finish their lunch that's why I gave such a low score but besides that they're great

Very nice store with every tool you can think of. On top of that they have different versions of the same tool depending on if you’re on a budget or if you want to spend more better quality/material.

Called needing wire wheel brushes for an older Makita. First guy I talked to said they had what I needed then passed me on to someone else. He misunderstood what I needed and unbeknownst to me guy that took my order thought I needed motor brushes for the grinder. I paid $18.50 for shipping something that weighed about 4oz that I did not need. When I called (twice)and tried to straighten it out they kind of blew me off and told me I got what I asked for, then told me they did not carry what I wanted in the first place. If they would have just refunded me the shipping I would have been Ok with the transaction.
So after writing my initial review they saw it and responded. It was a comedy of errors and bad communication on both ends but they said I would get a full refund and are making good.
Thank you guys happy to change from 1 to 5 stars.

The workers need a raise, because some of them attend you in a bad mood , specially the one with Lincoln electric uniform.
