Custom Off The Shelf™ by EOD Gear
We Threw Commercial Off The Shelf Out the Window.
At EOD Gear, we didn’t improve the old way — we replaced it. The defense industry runs on “COTS” — Commercial Off The Shelf — but that means cookie-cutter gear built for mass appeal, not mission success.
We built something NEW — Custom Off The Shelf™ — where every piece of gear, every tool, and every case is designed to fit the mission, not the marketing.
Because while other gear is made for clicks, ours is made for combat.
What Custom Off The Shelf™ Means
Custom Off The Shelf™ combines engineering precision, tactical experience, and mission-driven manufacturing to deliver tools and systems that perform under pressure.
Everything we build is designed, cut, engraved, and assembled by our in-house team in Franklin, Tennessee, with the same standards trusted by the warfighter, bomb tech, and breacher.
As a Navy EOD-founded company, our attention to detail isn’t a slogan — it’s how we stay alive and keep others safe.
