Running a Tyr Tactical plate carrier with the back piece that has 2 pouches and a 1x by 5 or 6 molle like running down the sides:

I'm looking to figure out a way to mount the above Estes bar along one of the strips of Molle. Ideally I'd like to be able to retrieve it, but I am part of a team so if I can't get to it it's still okay.

I've thought about some sort of bungees through the molle, maybe the rubber coated twisty wires?
I can't seem to come up with something perfect.

What ideas do you guys got?

Seems like it should stand in a lined pocket and maybe ziptied at the top.
All your wheel weights are belong to me.

Haligan tool (non sparking ) Blackhawk


Haligan tool Blackhawk  steel
Blackhawk makes carriers for their dynamic entry tools. There are two Haligan tools the non sparking is less expensive and the spike is more rounded. That one is better around flammable liquids ( cars, aircraft etc)

I’d probably build or buy an arrow quiver or make some type of case out of leather or a shotgun half case modified to hold the tool.

The other path is put a sling on it .

I’ve seen guys use a short piece of pvc pipe zip tied vertically on the back of a carrier like a quiver of sorts.

this.
maybe since the pry bar is thin a linear charge pouch may be used as well to hold the lower part and the 3-4 inches that stick out may be routed thru the aforementioned pvc pipe or shock cord mounted to pals webbing.

I tried that years back. Unfortunately the head pry is about 2" wide, which means you need a 2 1/2" PVC pipe which is on the rather large side. Defeats the idea of a small light weight tool.

I don't have the exact answer but I think a mixture involving custom kydex may be the solution.

There are some back panels that have kydex or tegris liners specifically made for carrying breaching tools. Ferro has their tool sleeve, and Spiritus is supposed to be releasing backpanels for their LV120 in the coming months.

Granted, most of these are more oriented towards bolt cutters and sledge hammers than a haligan, but they’ll suffice for a pry, or wrecking bar. Should have enough room to fit something else besides the pry bar, too.

Might try using some PVC pipe cut to the length of the tool and add some straps on the PVC to attach it to your pack. PVC diameter large enough for the bar to slide in, but small enough so the claw stops the tool from falling through. Could put a notch at the top for the claw so the tool can't rotate. Paint the tube to match your pack and secure the tool with a velcro strap ?
