Occidental Leather 5059 High Mount Hammer Holder – OxyRed
Stop long hammer handles from banging against your knees and catching on scaffolding with the Occidental Leather 5059 High Mount Hammer Holder in OxyRed. Handcrafted in Sonoma County, California, this compact loop is made for framers, roofers, and scaffold erectors who climb and stay in motion all day.
Unlike drop-down loops that let handles swing freely, the 5059 positions the hammer head higher on your tool belt. This high-ride design keeps the handle tucked close to your hip, eliminating painful back-of-the-knee strikes when climbing ladders or stepping over floor joists. Crafted from rugged 10 oz. full-grain bridle leather with a heavy-gauge steel loop, it slides smoothly onto work belts up to 3 inches wide without taking up valuable bag space.
Key Features:
- High-Mount Geometry: Carries your hammer higher on the belt to stop the handle from banging your leg or catching ladder rungs.
- 10 oz. Full-Grain Belting Leather: Thick harness leather provides a firm, sturdy backer that won't curl or soften over time.
- Heavy-Gauge Steel Loop: Accommodates framing, claw, and titanium hammers for quick, blind, one-handed re-holstering.
- Compact Footprint: Takes up minimal belt space, leaving plenty of room for your primary fastener and tool bags.
- Wide 3" Belt Slot: Slides easily over standard 2", 2-1/2", and 3" leather or nylon work belts.
- Signature OxyRed Finish: Matches classic Occidental leather rigs and develops a rich patina with use.
- Handmade in the USA: Hand-riveted and stitched to stand up to commercial jobsite abuse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 5059 High Mount and the standard 5012 hammer holder?
The standard 5012 drops the hammer loop lower below the belt line, which works well for long torso framing. The 5059 High Mount keeps the steel loop positioned higher up on the belt, keeping the hammer handle close to your hip so it doesn't slap your knee while climbing ladders or bending over.
What size work belt will this holder fit?
The 5059 features a generous belt tunnel that accommodates standard 2-inch, 2-1/2-inch, and 3-inch wide leather or nylon tool belts.
Will heavy framing and titanium hammers fit in this loop?
Yes. The heavy-duty steel loop easily fits handles from standard framing, claw, and titanium hammers, including Martinez, Stiletto, Vaughan, and Estwing.
Why choose a high mount holder for roofing and ladder work?
When working on steep roofs, staging, or ladders, low-hanging hammer handles frequently catch on rungs and step edges. The high-mount design pulls the handle up, reducing snag hazards and giving you better mobility.
How do I clean and care for this leather holder?
Wipe away sawdust and grime with a damp cloth. Condition the leather once or twice a year with a quality leather cream to keep it supple and weather-resistant.
