Works well, needs more color choices, can be dyed
by Alex C (4 out of 5 stars)

This entrenching tool pouch works perfectly for the Gerber E-tool folding spade with serrated edge, but if you want other colors be prepared to dye it. I docked a star for this reason.

It took me a long time and many failed dye jobs but I got a match for the "OD green" used by Condor bags and accessories. The recipe is as follows (courtesy Judy Coates Perez of Painted Threads Projects blog):
"Army Green"
2 tsp golden yellow Rit powder dye
1 tsp black Rit liquid dye
1/2 tsp dark green Rit liquid dye

mixed in 1 cup water
...then added to 2.5 - 3 gallons of simmering water.

This particular mix took hours to get to the right shade, and is mostly uniform. You have to watch it! When it looks slightly darker than the Condor gear you're trying to match it to, it's probably done. It lightens when dried.

At first, I tried the official Rit olive drab recipe, and this thing came out purple after maybe an hour. Then, I used the Rit color remover, and tried forest green alone, and the dye took within 5 minutes. That was the wrong shade of green, and didn't look good. After another dunk in the color remover, I tried the above recipe and it looks great. This was the first time I dyed anything and I hope sharing this experience helps others who just want this stupid thing in olive drab/army green.

Of course, after it has been cooked in simmering water this many times, the snap buttons are scratched up and rusty, and the fabric feels a bit rough. But it does the job!

Protip: don't buy the Rit dyes on Amazon - they are overpriced! Buy them at a local crafts store.

Perfect for the Ames or Gerber e-tools
by Lord Otter (5 out of 5 stars)

These are various E-tool covers in ACU pattern procured under various contracts. I ordered 2 and received 2 from different contractors under different contract dates, so your mileage may vary. But they all meet the same size/dimensions. They worked for my Ames previously issued E-tool as well as the Gerber e-tool. You never know when you might need an E-tool, so keep them in this stylish pouch! The Ames I bought actually came with an old nasty Skilcraft cover (the hard nylon pouch) with Alice clips.

My husband got a Gerber 30-000075 E-Tool Folding Spade with Serrated Blade for his birthday but it didn't come with a sheath :/ So I got him this! It fits perfectly!! So happy with it because my husband is thrilled! :)

Great quality!

It holds the standard (or smaller) E-Tool. It's well-built and looks to be same quality as I had in the Marines.. although these are army camo and not what I'm used to from the USMC.. :)

Works great, smells terrible
by Toenailsmcgee (5 out of 5 stars)

I know this is probably a weird review to leave for a molle pouch but it is what it is. The bag is well build and sturdy, definitely glad i purchased it. The issue I have is that the bag smells heavily of vomit, so much so that when i took the pouch out of its bag I almost threw up. Other than that it is exactly what you would want it to be.

It will work
by Moose,Top Contributor: Camping (4 out of 5 stars)

It will indeed cover your GI entrenching tool. Lightweight, ACU with ALICE clips. Made in America 🇺🇸. But personally I like the other one I have better. It's the rubber/polymer one that is also military surplus. Just seems like it is more durable. Don't get me wrong, this is a quality product just personal preference. Highly recommend. Thanks for reading

Fits Gerber etool
by DontTreadOnMe (4 out of 5 stars)

Fits the Gerber etool very well. Molle attachments are fairly solid. Stitching seems like it will hold up to some rough treatment. If you have a Gerber folding etool, this tool cover will work.

As advertised

Very nice compact pouch for my fold up trenching kit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ML7TYW/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The MOLLE system is very sound and mounted easily to my pack and fastened snugly in place. As advertised, I purchased mine used and it had a few small stains from usage etc, which the seller absolutely informed me would be there. (Besides its a shovel cover and is going to get dirty!). This pouch is far superior to the vinyl ones often shipped with trenching kits/fold up shovels and I fully expect it to hold up to the rigors I will put it through. Great deal!

Excellent cover!
by Bearded Guy (5 out of 5 stars)

This is exactly what it says it is. Very heavy duty cover, reinforced sides, excellent stitching, solid buckle, drainage hole in the bottom. Connects easily to my Maxpedition Kodiak EDC. Perfectly fits a government issue entrenching tool. Would recommend any day over the old original G.I. heavy plastic cover that have alice clips.

Its nice when things just work like they're supposed to
by Shinobi (5 out of 5 stars)

Took a couple extra days to get out the door with the christmas holiday but once I got it I was very pleased with its construction. Not 100% sure its genuine military issue or anything but it fits my e-tool perfectly and has molle straps on the back and a pretty heavy duty plastic clip on the front. The fabric seems pretty sturdy (even if ACU is a horrible pattern compared to multicam) and it has a drainage hole with a metal grommet at the bottom. Thats a small concern for years down the road when it rusts and eats away at the base of the pouch and the e-tool falls out but for now its perfect.
