The CLC C-12 waist apron has pockets that are 6 inches deep and will hold a 25' standard tape measure leaving extra pockets available for nails, screws and tools. Some may want to hook the tape onto the outside of the pocket as pictured, while others may like to throw it in a pocket also as pictured. I find it quicker and easier to throw it in an apron pocket than hooking it.In the tools close photo left to right are a hammer, rasp, screwdriver, utility knife unseen, nail set center, tape unseen, combination square, 2 chisels, etc..In the desktop photo the tape is lifted out to show a 25' tape can fit in pocket. In the clip-carry photo it shows the tape being clipped on center pocket to carry. Saves room for nails in pockets.In the desktop drillbits photo left to right are pliers, screwdriver above hammer, cold chisel, two wood chisels, 16' tape, 2 drill bits, nail set, empty pocket for nails, wood rasp, combo square.While there are not as many pockets in the C-12 as in the C-14, I think the pockets are just a wee bit deeper which I like, about 6 full inches instead of the 5&1/4 - 5&1/2 inches in the C-14. However the largest pocket on the C-14 is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" and the C-12 is 6" high x 4-1/4" wide, not as wide as the C-14.I am considering sewing this apron onto a pair of Dickie's painter bibs or hickory stripe bibs since they obstinately refuse to make carpenter overalls. After washing it I cannot get my big monster Craftsman 25' tape in it, but I didn't plan on carrying it anyway. It's for the workbench.I cut a rear pocket from 12 ounce canvas and hemmed it. Cut a little shorter at top than C-12 apron so it would blouse open. Then I sewed it onto the back of the C-12 and now I have a great big pocket behind the other pockets of the C-12. Thinking of sewing it closed in the middle to create two large pockets. People are saying they wish someone made a nail apron you can stick your hands into and this one enables that. You can see the photo of it bloused open ready for meter to go in and next pic the meter is lying in top of it and it will go completely down into the big pocket. Other photo is rear where I sewed it to C-12 apron. Suggested it to CLC, and as usual they haven't responded yet.
