Nylon Gear Care - Keep your nylon tool gear in top shape.

Brush off jobsite grit daily, and wipe down with a damp cloth as needed, and let it air dry.
Occasionally shake out debris from the inside.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure and heavy chemical cleaners.
For stubborn grime, use mild soap and water.
Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Abrasions or small tear repair -

Nylon components on tool bags—like webbing or trim—are tough but not indestructible. If you notice any abrasions or small tears, it's important to act early before they spread and worsen.

Use a nylon repair tape or fabric patch (such as Tenacious Tape or Gear Aid) to seal the area. Super Glue will do the trick in a pinch on small areas.
Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying the patch.
For added strength, you can stitch over the damaged area with heavy-duty thread.

* Catching minor damage early can prevent it from becoming irreparable, especially in high-stress areas like seams, corners, or straps.

* Nylon Tool Bag Repair Policy -

Occidental Leather does not offer repairs on nylon tool bags due to the structural limitations of woven synthetic fibers. When ballistic nylon becomes torn or frayed, the integrity of the weave is compromised. Unlike leather, nylon cannot be re-stitched or restored to its original strength—only surface patching is possible. Because we do not provide patching services, replacement is recommended for compromised components to ensure continued safety and performance.
