Better Tools, LLC’s EZ SPANNER™ TOOL-HOSE BAG is made to complement the EZ Spanner™ catalog of tools, and will also work for most of the common hydrant tools that have been used traditionally in the field. The bag attaches directly to the supply hose with three hook-and-loop straps and will even expand with your hose when it’s loaded.

The bag is lightweight, constructed of a durable, rip-stop waterproof material specially designed for the job at hand. This tool bag keeps your tools secure with a two-sided hook-and-loop closure, yet it opens easily with one pull of the opening strap. www.ezspanner.com. (818) 856-1522.
