MagnoGrip Snap Lock Tradesman Tool Vest vs Iron Tradesman Concealed Carry Tool Vest

Buy the Iron Tradesman if you want a canvas work vest that also hides a compact pistol. Buy the MagnoGrip if you want a dedicated tool carrier with a padded belt, back support and magnetic storage. The MagnoGrip is the more serious tool rig: 1680D fabric, a quick-release 2-inch belt, an integrated back support and a steel hammer loop. The Iron Tradesman is the more versatile garment: American duck canvas, five chest sizes and ambidextrous internal holsters. Owners of carry vests tend to praise the Iron Tradesman's canvas and holster layout, but it is a vest first and a tool organizer second.

• Choose the MagnoGrip Snap Lock Tradesman Tool Vest if you want a belt-mounted tool rig with back support, magnetic storage and room for dozens of tools.
• Choose the Iron Tradesman Concealed Carry Tool Vest if you want a canvas work vest that also carries a compact or subcompact pistol out of sight.
