What is tactical EOD gear?
Tactical EOD gear is the working equipment of bomb technicians and EOD operators: tool kits and rolls, load-bearing pouch systems, hook and line equipment, demolition priming tools, probes, and the cases that move it all. It is the dismounted and vehicle kit that supports render-safe, post-blast, and clearance missions.
What does a dismounted EOD operator typically carry?
A typical dismounted setup pairs a belt or plate carrier with mission pouches: a tool pouch with the operator's working hand tools, rigging for remote pulls, marking equipment, and mission-specific additions. The goal is everything needed downrange without carrying the whole team room on your back.
Who makes EOD Gear equipment?
EOD Gear is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business that has built and supplied EOD equipment from Franklin, Tennessee since 2011, with in-house CNC machining and 3D printing under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system. We manufacture items like shock tube initiators, cap crimpers, time fuze cutters, and pouch systems, and curate the rest of the catalog from proven manufacturers.
How is gear for public safety bomb squads different from military EOD kit?
The core tools overlap heavily, but public safety squads work under different response models: single-incident callouts, evidence preservation, and mutual aid rather than sustained field operations. That shifts emphasis toward vehicle-staged kits and case-based organization, while military users prioritize ruggedness and weight for dismounted carry.
Can EOD Gear build custom or unit-specific equipment?
Yes. With CNC machining and 3D printing in-house, EOD Gear prototypes and produces custom tools, mounts, and kit solutions against unit requirements. If your team needs a modification to an existing product or a purpose-built item, contact us with the requirement.
How do agencies and units purchase EOD gear?
EOD Gear is GSA-authorized, ISO 9001:2015 certified, and ITAR registered, supporting purchase orders, GSA orders, and formal quotes for military EOD units, public safety bomb squads, and federal teams. Restricted items require agency authorization, verified before fulfillment. Email govsales@EOD-gear.com.
