Newer beek, serious question. What the utility of a belt that expensive?

I'm newer too (starting 3rd year). Organization has a calming influence on me. My inspections are methodical and planned. Since my hive tool seems to be the thing I reach for the most I really like the magnet attachment. How many times am I searching around for it... Here is a video from Devan about the belt.

Emma from the Dyce Lab for Honey Bee Studies also rocks a Paul Kelly Belt.

It is handy to have a hive tool readily accessible while doing inspections, although you could really glue a large magnet to an old cell phone belt clip or something similar. With that said, I do own and use a Paul Kelly Bee Belt my wife bought me for a gift.
