The Rump Guard


Not exciting, but a great idea. I saw this on Toolmonger.com and had to share it. My apologies for not coming up with something original today. But I saw this, loved it, and loved the price. (Had to edit to remove bad language, this is a PG-rated blog spot, and I think Toolmonger.com can get a little more colorful in their commentary.) But, this looks perfect for new technicians and mature technicians, anyone who uses tools professionally or a DIYer.

Despite owning tool belts and tool aprons, for some reason my tools always seem to end up in my back pocket, inevitably poking holes through my jeans and into my bum. Duluth’s Rump Guard looks like a possible solution. Think of it as a bullet-proof pocket protector for your a__: it’s made from denim and Kevlar – a 73% cotton / 21% polyester / 6% Kevlar blend.
Its snap loop connects to your belt, allowing you to position its handy pocket protector for maximum comfort. It also more than doubles the capacity of your jeans pocket, adding numerous additional compartments for tools and gear, plus a dangling hook to carry tape.
Plus, its street pricing of $13 is a lot cheaper than torn-up jeans — or worse yet, torn up you.

PS: Does anyone else feel like Duluth Trading is like the
J. Peterman Company of tools, complete with their witty descriptions and hand-drawn illustration?
