töörihm

Töörihm, meaning "work belt" in Estonian, is a type of belt designed to carry tools and equipment. It is typically worn around the waist by tradespeople such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and construction workers to keep their essential tools readily accessible on job sites.

These belts are usually made from durable materials like leather, canvas, or synthetic fabrics to withstand heavy use. They often feature multiple pouches, loops, and D-rings, allowing for organized storage of hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, measuring tapes, and other implements. The design prioritizes functionality, enabling workers to move freely and efficiently without constantly bending down to retrieve tools from a toolbox.

The concept of a work belt is not unique to Estonia, as similar tool-carrying belts are used globally across various trades. However, the term "töörihm" specifically refers to this item within the Estonian language and context. Its primary purpose is to enhance productivity and safety by ensuring tools are always within reach, reducing the time spent searching for them and minimizing the risk of dropping them. The adjustable nature of most töörihmad allows for a comfortable and secure fit for different users.
