Tool Pouch with Mesh Ends

Tools that live in a vehicle collect grit. Sand, dust, filings and dried mud sift off the tools and settle in the bottom corner of a sealed pouch, and they stay there — grinding away at the fabric and at everything you put in afterwards. The Tool Pouch with Mesh Ends is 11.5 in long, 5.5 in tall and 3.5 in wide, and both ends are mesh, so the grit falls out instead of collecting.

That is the whole argument for this version: turn it over, shake it, and the pouch empties itself of the debris a solid-ended pouch would keep forever. The mesh also drains and breathes, so a damp tool is not sealed into a wet fabric box. The body is water-resistant Cordura and a heavy-duty zipper closes it, so the pouch still keeps road spray off the tools and still holds everything in when it ends up upside down. A velcro loop on the face takes an ID tag, which is what makes a row of identical pouches usable. It works on its own or as one module inside our tool bags.

What to know before you buy

Mesh ends are the trade-off. Grit falls out, and so will anything small enough to fit through the mesh — so this is the pouch for tools, not for loose fasteners, fuses or small parts. It is also not dustproof at the ends. If you want the contents fully enclosed, buy the solid-end tool pouch.
