Modular Velcro Tool Pouch

A wrench in a seat pocket is a wrench that bangs on every bump, and a screwdriver at the bottom of a bag is a screwdriver you find with your fingertips. The Modular Velcro Tool Pouch is 12 in long, 6 in tall and 3 in deep — cut long rather than square, because that is the shape of the tools you actually reach for: a pry bar, a ratchet and sockets, pliers, a set of drivers, a tyre plug kit.

This is part of the Modular Velcro system. Hook velcro strips on the back press it onto any loop-velcro surface — the Modular Velcro Seat Organizer panel, the carpeted wall or ceiling of an off-grid trailer or camper, a van build, or a loop panel on a pack. That is the point of a velcro tool pouch over a MOLLE one: tools get taken out and used, so you want to lift the whole pouch off the panel, carry it to the wheel you are working on, and press it back when you are done. Unweaving MOLLE straps every time defeats that. The pouch face carries a velcro panel for an ID tag, which matters as soon as you own more than one of these and they all look alike on the panel.

What to know before you buy

This is an open compartment, not a fitted tool roll. Tools sit together rather than in individual loops, so a loose load will still move around — pack it full enough that nothing rattles, or use a tool roll if you want each tool held in its own slot. Velcro backing needs a loop-velcro surface; it will not attach to a bare seat back or MOLLE webbing.

• Modular Velcro Seat Organizer — the loop panel this pouch is built to mount on.
• Custom Velcro Name Tags — label the front panel so you know which pouch holds what.
