Do I need suspenders with a tool belt?

If you carry a loaded rig all day, most experienced reviewers say yes. Verified-purchase and electrician-community threads repeatedly credit padded suspenders with taking weight off the hips and lower back. The trade-off some reviewers raise is shoulder fatigue with all-leather suspenders and the 'harness' feeling that a minority dislike. Padded nylon suspenders like the Boulder Bag set are the most commonly recommended comfort upgrade.
