Plain answers from the people who actually make the product. Tap a question to expand.
Does the Hammerex Roofer''s Square Belt Holder fit a Swanson 7 inch speed square?+
Yes. The holder is sized to fit most standard 7-inch roofing and speed squares including Swanson, Stanley and the equivalent in the Hammerex range. The body holds the square flat against the hip so it does not catch on rafters or scaffold uprights. If your square is an unusual oversized version, message us on WhatsApp with the model before ordering. Steel rivets at the stress points keep the holder taut around the square.
Does the integrated tape clip take a standard 5 metre or 8 metre tape measure?+
The integrated tape clip is a heavy-duty steel clip sized for standard tape measures including 5 m and 8 m cases. The clip grips the tape belt clip rather than wrapping the whole case, so it works with most major brands without rattling. Carpenters and framers normally find their existing tape clips straight in. If you carry an unusually large stub-tape, message us first to confirm the fit. The clip is riveted, not stitched, for longevity.
Will the holder fit my standard work belt or do I need a special belt?+
It fits most standard work belts including the trade belts roofers, carpenters and framers already wear. There is no special belt requirement. The belt loop is built into the back of the holder with reinforced stitching and a low-profile shape so it sits flat against the hip rather than poking out. If you wear a thick padded work belt, the loop still passes over the buckle on most models we have tested.
What can I keep in the twin side pocket besides pencils?+
The twin side pocket is sized for carpenter pencils as the headline use but it also fits markers, nail punches, utility knives, chalk lines and small hand tools you reach for repeatedly during a roof or framing day. The pocket sits beside the square housing so you can grab a pencil without pulling the square out. Keeping a marker and a utility knife in the pocket saves a lot of climbing down for a forgotten tool.
Is this holder a sensible buy for a framer or general carpenter, not just a roofer?+
It is. We named it the Roofer''s Square Belt Holder because roofers use the 7-inch speed square most consistently, but framers, carpenters, builders and general tradespeople buy the holder for the same reason: fast access to the square, the tape and a marker. The heavy-duty reinforced construction with steel rivets at stress points stands up to full-time framing use, and the one-year manufacturing warranty covers stitching and rivet failures inside the first year.
Where does Hammerex ship from?+
Every Hammerex product is made in our own Yogyakarta, Indonesia factory and dispatched from there via EMS air freight. We don't drop-ship; the same workshop that stitches the leather packs and posts the order.
How long until my order is dispatched?+
Standard dispatch is within 48 hours of order confirmation, posted to EMS. Custom thread colour, custom company branding, and Pro Trade Cover orders add roughly +2 working days to dispatch because they're cut, stitched and finished to spec.
How long does Hammerex UK delivery take?+
Typical UK delivery is 5-6 working days from EMS pickup. We send tracking on dispatch. Free UK delivery is available on selected products; non-UK destinations are confirmed on WhatsApp at checkout.
Is Hammerex a new brand?+
No. Hammerex has been supplying the UK trade through wholesale distribution for over 12 years. We now sell direct from the factory so the buyer keeps the margin the distributor used to take.
Does Hammerex offer custom company branding on belts?+
Yes — most leather belts and tool pouches can be laser-printed with your company name and logo for +£10 per item. Open the "Your company brand name" slider on the product page; our admin confirms artwork with you via WhatsApp and sends a mock-up for approval before production starts.
What is the Hammerex Pro Trade Cover?+
Beyond the standard 1-year defect warranty, the Pro Trade Cover keeps your belt in service for 3 full years on the parts that wear under daily site use — re-stitching, rivet/stud replacement, buckle service, slider replacement, and leather conditioning. You post the belt to us, we fix it and post it back. You pay postage both ways; we cover all labour and materials. Unlimited claims for 3 years from delivery.
Can I get a custom thread colour on a Hammerex belt?+
Yes. Black is the house thread colour and is included free. Six other colours (Yellow, Red, Brown, Orange, Green, White) carry a small per-unit fee and add +2 working days to dispatch while we stitch your order to spec. Selectable on the product page in the "Thread colour" slider.
How do Hammerex multi-buy discounts work?+
Buy 2 saves 10%, buy 3 saves 15% — applied automatically at the quantity step on most products. No code, no waiting. Bulk and trade pricing beyond that is available — message us via the Partners page for a territory-protected wholesale account.
What currencies can I pay in?+
Checkout in GBP, IDR, USD, SGD, AUD, or EUR through Hammerex multi-currency accounts. Live FX, no hidden conversion markup. Your final invoice is in your selected currency.
How are Hammerex products made?+
We use the right material for the job — different leathers across our range, faux leather, and synthetic fabrics where they outperform leather (water resistance, weight, washability). Cutting, stitching, riveting, QC and pack-out all happen under one roof in Yogyakarta. Every unit is inspected on CCTV-recorded QC before pack — no outsourced assembly, no reseller in the chain.
Do you offer wholesale or trade accounts?+
Yes. We run a distribution-partner programme with transparent pricing, protected territories and fair monthly targets — designed around real demand in your market. Retail welcomed from 30 kg mixed product orders. Apply via the Partners page on the site.
How do I track my Hammerex order?+
We send the EMS tracking number on WhatsApp the day your order is dispatched. EMS provides updates from collection through customs to your door — typical UK transit is 5-6 working days. If anything stalls, message us on WhatsApp and we'll chase EMS for you.
