The Artisan '25 is a frameless tool vest system: a 701 vest carrying a Miter X bag on the dominant side, an Eagle X bag on the other, and a Hammer Holster X. Weight rides across the torso instead of hanging from the hips or pulling on the shoulders, which is the main reason buyers prefer it to a belt. It suits carpenters and framers who carry a lot of small tools and want to rearrange them. The trade-off is a fixed fit and bags that sit slightly back on the body.

Owners rate the Artisan vest highly for comfort, saying the weight sits on the torso instead of dragging at the hips. They like how quickly accessories go on and off and the breadth of add-ons. The recurring complaints are a fixed, non-adjustable fit and bags that sit a little far back.
The Diamondback Artisan '25 Vest System stays true to the original Artisan design, with updates for the modern professional. It is a complete set: the 701 vest, a Miter X bag for the dominant side, an Eagle X bag for the non-dominant side, and a Hammer Holster X.
The 701 vest carries the weight of the bags across the torso and away from the back and shoulders. The Miter X and Eagle X bags add organization and a modular layout, so the system can be expanded to suit individual needs.
The system has 6 pockets, 15 tool slots and 2 tool loops. It has an integrated bit index and a quick square slot with SquareLock. It is compatible with a Flat Bar Holster.
