A tool belt carries hand tools on site. It is a belt with pockets, loops, and holders. It is worn around the waist or over the shoulder. It keeps the tools close at hand. It saves time. It reduces trips to the toolbox. In the kitchen, the closest equivalent is the apron. It has pockets. It holds tools. It protects the clothes. It is not a tool belt. But it is a carrier. It is the tool belt of the kitchen. It is the tool belt of the cook.

Tool belts come in several types. A carpenter's belt has pockets for a hammer, a tape, a square, and pencils. An electrician's belt has loops for pliers, screwdrivers, and a wire stripper. A framer's belt has large pockets for nails and a hammer loop. In the kitchen, the apron has pockets for a thermometer, a pen, and a towel. It is the tool belt of the kitchen. It is the tool belt of the same.

Tool belts must be maintained. The leather must be oiled. The stitching must be inspected. The pockets must be cleaned. In the kitchen, the apron must be washed. It must be dried. It must be ironed. It is the tool belt of the kitchen. It is the tool belt of the same. The same is the kitchen. The kitchen is the tool belt. The tool belt is the cook. The cook is the tool belt. The tool belt is the same. The same is the meal. The meal is the tool belt. The tool belt is the same.
