Abstract: Utility suspenders for use by individuals in the construction trades. The suspenders include a pair of padded and stretchable straps for suspension from the shoulders of a user. Clips, adapted to firmly grip a tool belt, are secured to the front and rear ends of the straps. A load-distributing pad secures the straps together adjacent their rear ends. A variable length, chest strap is slidably positioned on the straps adjacent their front ends and has a quick release buckle for splitting such in half.
