Tool backpack debuts

By General Aviation News Staff · August 14, 2014 ·

Ergodyne has expanded its Arsenal Tool Storage Collection with the new Arsenal 5843 Tool Backpack. Featuring a two-compartment design, the Arsenal 5843 is certified for hoisting up to 50 pounds,  allowing for hands-free climbing and easy mobility of tools and equipment around the jobsite.

Tool Backpack 2With two main compartments housing 26 interior pockets, 11 PALS webbing loops, and seven exterior pockets of different shapes and sizes, the new backpack holds a variety of tools and everyday work gear.

A tall holster on the side panel of the backpack provides a safe spot to store tools that don’t fit in the main compartments and ring attachment points found throughout the bag are safe and convenient to hook carabiners and other at heights connectors.

“Workers schlep around all sorts of gear in all sorts of ways creating far too many opportunities for lost productivity and injury,” said Tom Votel, president and CEO of Ergodyne. “The goal of our new Tool Backpack is to provide a safe vessel for transporting that gear in an organized and ergonomic fashion.”
