The Differences Between Rig, Tool Belt, and Apron
You know that you definitely need some sort of device that enables you to keep your tools within arm's reach while you work, but aren't quite sure if a tool rig, a tool belt, or even a tool apron is the way to go. Learning more about each one is the best place to start.

The Tool Apron
A tool or work apron, like a cooking apron, simply ties around your waist or your neck. It usually has a number of large pockets that are ideal for smaller, lightweight tools. While an apron does provide some protection to your clothing, it isn't ideal for heavy or bulky tools.
