Power Tool Sleeves
Power tool sleeves protect your gear from dust, knocks and damage in vans, on-site or in storage. Whether you're moving drills, drivers or hand tools, sleeves give an extra layer of protection without adding bulk.
Why Use Power Tool Sleeves?
Protective sleeves keep tools ready to use and reduce the wear-and-tear from jobsite life:
- Padded Interiors – Cushion impact from bumps, drops or toolboxes.
- Dust Protection – Keep fine plaster, sawdust and grit off your motors and battery ports.
- Scratch-Free Transport – Stop metal tools from rubbing or damaging other gear.
- Quick Access – Easier than hard cases for frequent use tools like combi drills or impact drivers.
Best For:
- Van or boot storage setups
- Keeping kits tidy inside tool bags
- Reducing impact damage when moving between jobs
- Trades using cordless tools regularly on the go
Choosing the Right Sleeve
Match sleeve shape and padding to the tool and use case:
1. Tool Compatibility
Look for sleeves that fit your model (e.g. 18V drill/driver body size) or are labelled universal for cordless tools.
2. Padding & Closure
Options range from soft fleece-style to foam-padded with zip or hook-and-loop fastening. Choose based on transit risk.
3. Storage Features
Some sleeves include pockets for bits, batteries or labels for fast tool ID.
Power Tool Sleeve FAQs
Will sleeves fit all tools?
Most sleeves are designed for common tool shapes like drills or impact drivers. Check dimensions if using with larger tools or kits.
Are sleeves better than hard cases?
For daily carry or mobile use, sleeves are lighter and faster. Hard cases offer better crush protection if stored under heavy kit.
Can I wash tool sleeves?
Yes – most can be wiped clean or hand-washed. Avoid machine washing unless specified by the brand.
Do sleeves come with padding?
Some do — especially models designed for drills or saws. Others are softshell-style for dust and scratch protection only.
Are these suitable for site use?
Yes — sleeves from brands like Vaunt and Milwaukee are built to handle site conditions and regular use.
