Add-a-clip for professionals and outdoor adventurers

What is an Add-A-Clip and what can you do with it?

Sometimes it's the little accessories that make the biggest difference. The Gear Keeper Add-A-Clip is such an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to keep their gear secure, secure, and easily accessible—whether you're working on the front lines or out in the wild.

These compact, robust holders ensure that your flashlight, knife, (work) gloves, SCBA mask, or other tools are securely held, yet can be removed instantly when needed.

Whether you work professionally in the fire service, police force, military, or construction — or you enjoy hiking, fishing, hunting, dog sports, or walking — an Add-A-Clip will keep your gear secure.

How does an Add‑A‑Clip work?

Each Add-A-Clip is attached with a threaded stud mount. This secures the clip to a garment, bag, or piece of gear—for example, a jacket flap, pocket flap, belt, gear strap, or backpack tab.

Installation is simple:

Check your jacket or gear for any protruding fabric or exposed pockets. Determine where you want the clip (consider its strength and accessibility).

Turn the pin through the textile at the desired location on the back/bottom
Hold the add-a-clip in front of you so that the protruding screw pin fits into the opening on the back of the clip.
Screw the pin securely onto the back of the add-a-clip
Done! You now have a permanent, reliable attachment point.

So there's no sewing, gluing, or extra parts involved. Simply screw and use.

How many Add‑A‑Clips models are there?

What makes the Add‑A‑Clip so versatile is that you can choose which type of connection you need — depending on what you want to attach:

Swivel snap clip: rotatable, ideal for tools that move.
Side Release: Click system that quickly releases and tightens — perfect if you want to release something regularly.
Split ring: for items that already have a hook or ring.
Musketon: classic brass clip, stylish and sturdy.
Stabilizer : for firmly fixing a flashlight, for example.
Velcro strap : especially for gloves – holds them tight but releases quickly.

What can you hang on an Add-A-Clip?

The question is more: what can't you hang on it? Here's a selection of the most commonly used items:

Flashlights: for work, evening walks, outdoor trips
Knives, scissors or multi-tools : securely attached and yet immediately available
SCBA masks ( Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus : for professionals in fire brigades or industrial environments but also for diving enthusiasts
Gloves : take them off quickly and still not lose them
Clickers or training gear : useful for use in dog sports
Pliers or float : useful for fishermen

And many more utensils

Whether you're a firefighter who needs to keep your flashlight within easy reach or an athletic hiker who wants to go hands-free without your gear lying around, an Add-A-Clip helps you stay efficient, safe, and organized when you're on the go.
