A further development of the M05 e-tool pouch we designed and made for the Finnish Defence Forces. That old one was really good, this one is a bit better still! The 50 mm belt compatible PALS attachment system and virtually indestructible tuck tab closure mechanism, instead of the old plastic buckles, are taken from our new line of magazine pouches.
The entire pouch is made from extra wide webbing, which is far stronger than fabric. This is an important detail for a pouch made to carry something as abrasive as an E-tool. The open corners of the pouch allow for unrestricted drainage of sand, mud, water and snow.
The rear features our standard PALS attachment webbing system with tuck tabs. The attachment straps can also be woven into belt loops for 45-50 mm wide belts.
Lid closure system - The lid on this pouch is closed using a polyethylene reinforced tuck tab and hook-and-loop. A tuck tab is mechanically very simple, but extremely reliable compared to plastic buckles, press studs or just using hook and loop. This is indeed almost identical to how the attachment straps are locked into place on all our PALS attachable pouches, just shorter and with a grip tab for rapid opening.
The hook-and-loop allows the pouch to stay securely closed even when half empty, and to be quickly closed without tucking in the tab. The hook piece can be covered with a sewn-in piece of loop for silent operation.
Pro-tip: when first using a brand-new pouch, press the tuck tab with your fingers to give it a C-bend. This will make it far easier to use as the claw-like shape is better at finding its way into the little webbing pocket which locks it. Don’t worry, polyethylene (in all its low-tech boring glory) is very crush resistant and will not crack or break, that’s why we use it.
