Learn how to install QuickFist on your MOLLE panel to securely hold flashlights, hatchets, and other gear with just a screwdriver.

Quick Answer

Secure gear like flashlights and hatchets to your MOLLE panel using QuickFist mounts—no special tools needed, just a Phillips head screwdriver.

Why QuickFist Stands Out for MOLLE Panels

QuickFist mounts are designed to hold cylindrical or oddly shaped items firmly in place, making them a versatile addition to any MOLLE panel setup. Unlike standard straps or bungees, QuickFist uses a rubber clamp that grips the item without scratching or rattling, which is ideal for off-road adventures.

One trade-off to consider: QuickFist mounts are not universal. They come in different sizes, so you need to match the mount to the diameter of your gear. Check the specifications before buying to ensure a snug fit.

Another consideration is mounting orientation. QuickFist can be mounted vertically or horizontally, but the orientation affects how easily you can access the gear. Plan your layout based on how often you need each item.

QuickFist Installation Steps

Gather Tools and Gear: You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver and the QuickFist kit. Ensure your MOLLE panel is installed and accessible. Check that you have the correct size QuickFist for your gear before starting.
Position the Backer Plate: Place the metal backer plate on the backside of the MOLLE panel, aligning it with the holes where you want to mount the QuickFist. Make sure the plate is flat and aligned to avoid stripping screws.
Attach the QuickFist: Align the QuickFist mount over the holes and screw it in place using the Phillips head screwdriver. Do not overtighten, as it can strip the threads. Test the mount by gently pulling on it to ensure it's secure.
Insert Your Gear: Push your flashlight, hatchet, or other item into the QuickFist clamp. Ensure it sits snugly and doesn't wobble. If the item is loose, consider a different size or an additional mount for stability.
