All About the 2" Cradle Hammer Holder

This traditional steel hammer cradle is built for durability and tailored for smaller belt setups. It features a 2" slot—ideal for narrower belts like our 2” Leather Work Belt (Model 5002) or the rear strap of the Stronghold Beltless System.

Riveted to a piece of extra-heavy full-grain leather, the cradle offers stable, long-term support for your hammer without swinging or shifting. A compact, no-nonsense solution for pros who need a tight, reliable fit.

Made in the USA with heavy-duty materials.

Leather Gear Care

Our leather is custom-tanned to handle tough, outdoor conditions. However, tough gear still deserves smart upkeep.

  • Brush off jobsite grit daily, and wipe down with a damp rag when things get muddy.
  • Occasionally shake out the debris from inside bags and pouches.
  • For deeper grime, use mild soap and water—no bleach, no harsh solvents. Then let it dry naturally.
  • For occasional cleaning maintenance—about once a year—use saddle soap, a leather cleaner, or mild soap and warm water. Then apply a small amount of non-oil-based leather conditioner. We recommend our Rugged Service Cream.
  • Store dry, out of direct sun, and your Occidental Leather gear will outlast the job.

* Avoid oil-based products, as they can weaken stitching and shorten the life of the leather.

* Always wipe off mud, concrete, or other drying compounds with a damp cloth before it dries, as these materials can draw out the leather’s natural oils
