Gear Review: Spinlock Tool Bag – The Ultimate Mast-Ready Companion
Working aloft just got a lot easier. The Spinlock Tool Bag keeps all your essential gear secure, organised, and within arm’s reach. Durable, mast-ready, and designed for marine pros, it’s a must-have for anyone spending time on the rig.
When you are working aloft, the last thing you want is to be fumbling for tools or making extra trips up and down the mast. That is where the Spinlock Tool Bag comes in. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Spinlock Mast Pro harness, this bag is all about keeping your essential gear close, organised, and secure.
The first thing you notice is the build quality. Made from PU-coated fabric, it is tough enough to handle the rough and tumble of life on deck but still light enough that it does not weigh you down. Its soft-sided design hugs your body, keeping a low profile while you move around the rig.
Storage is simple but smart. Three large exterior pockets and a smaller interior compartment give you plenty of room for hand tools, hammers, and even power tools. The light-coloured lining is a subtle touch that makes it easier to find what you need, even on overcast days or in the dim light of early morning rigging.
Safety has not been overlooked either. Lash points let you secure your tools so there is no risk of anything going overboard or hitting someone below. Because it is built to work with the Spinlock Mast Pro harness, it stays put while you are climbing, leaning, or stretching across the rig.
There are a couple of trade-offs. Internal dividers are minimal, so tools can shift if you are carrying a lot. It is also designed strictly for gear, not personal items like a wallet or phone. But if your priority is keeping essential tools within easy reach while you work aloft, this bag does exactly what it promises.
The Spinlock Tool Bag is an investment in both safety and efficiency. For anyone who spends time on the mast, it is hard to imagine working without one.
