In 2012, I said to myself, "We have to do better!"
The men and women that put on a Crab, SWAT, Special Operations and First Responders that get up every day to willingly walk into Harm's Way must have better gear and a better way to buy exactly what they want.
Being completely dissatisfied with EOD Kits on the market, we designed and programmed the Custom EOD Tool Kit which allows the Tech to select the exact tools needed in the kit with the price that adjusts in real-time. This process is now used for all of our "Build Your Own" kits. After more than a decade, our competitors still are not able to offer the granular level of kit building available at EOD-Gear.com®.
We want your buying process to be easy for you even if it's more difficult for us behind the scenes.
Our philosophy is that we never want anyone to buy any gear they don't want or need. We want to work with you to create custom solutions that are easy to create, eliminates stress and provides the most value for your budget.
The EOD Gear® facility was put into place so that Techs as well as other special operations professionals have a place to come in and actually try out the gear and to offer another way to build out custom kits in person. EOD Gear is more of a permanent trade show that gives you the ability to pick the gear up, try it on and put the gear through some testing. You can buy gear and take it with you or issue a purchase order and we will build your solution then ship it to you. Can't make the drive? Take the virtual facility tour.
The Franklin facility is our primary distribution center as well as where we manufacture our MOLLE Lid Organizers, custom foam, Positive Blocks, Landmine Probes, Threat Markers, inert explosives and inert HME training aids — plus the MK2 .50 Cal and 12.7mm Dearmer systems and Pan disrupter ammunition under our ATF FFL Type 10 and FEL Type 20 licenses. We also put together the EOD kits that our customers have designed one tool at a time. Our inert IED fabrication center is top notch and completely stocked up with all the tools and parts to make the very basic to the most sophisticated inert training devices you can imagine.
We also maintain an office in Huntsville, Alabama at 4100 Market Street, Suite 100, serving the Redstone Arsenal and North Alabama defense community — and we're active members of the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber. Huntsville visits are by appointment; request one through the contact form — every submission is logged and answered in writing, so you have documented correspondence for your contract file.
Behind all of it sits the paperwork agencies need: SBA Certified SDVOSB, GSA Schedule GS-07F-148GA, ISO 9001:2015 certified for manufacturing and custom kitting, ITAR registered, and CMMC2 compliant. Agencies and primes can dig into the details at the Defense Manufacturing Knowledge Center.
If you find yourself in the Nashville area, be sure to make the quick drive south to Franklin. It's a great place to visit and we'd like to meet you in person.
Founded by former US Navy EOD Tech Steve Cassidy in 2012, EOD Gear is headquartered out of Franklin, Tennessee. Steve was named the 2026 SBA Small Business Person of the Year for Tennessee, and the story of building this company from a garage startup is in his book, Green Football. We look forward to having you stop in.
