HMS & CML – Small tools with a big impact
Anyone who uses a range belt knows the problem: Where do I attach small items like glow sticks, gloves, or keys so that they're both handy and stable? Black Trident has developed two simple yet ingenious solutions for precisely this: HMS (Hold My Stuff) and CML (Catch my Lanyard) .
HMS – Hold My Stuff
The HMS is a carabiner with a hook-and-loop fastener that can be attached anywhere on your inner or outer belt—completely independent of the Molle system. It offers a universal attachment option for:
- Gloves
- Key
- Multitools
- Glow sticks or other small items
Particularly practical: The Velcro system ensures that the HMS stays securely in place – even during dynamic movement.
CML – Catch My Lanyard
The CML is a special holder for the carabiner ends of lanyards . In tactical operations—for example, when working on vehicles, ladders, or climbing—the lanyard is often only used temporarily . When not in use, it must be safely stowed away without causing interference or noise.
This is exactly where the CML comes in: It keeps the lanyard close at hand, quietly, and securely – and releases it immediately when needed. For anyone working with safety lanyards, the CML is a true detail upgrade.
Small, light, useful
Both tools – HMS and CML – are lightweight, compact, and can be combined with any setup . This is precisely what makes them so popular: more organization, more access, less fiddling .
Conclusion
HMS and CML show that good gear doesn't always have to be big or expensive. Sometimes it's the little things that make the difference —when building your range belt or in the field.
