The D-Cache is a dynamite-sized storage container that is completely waterproof and virtually indestructible, allowing you to store a multitude of items for ease of carry and secure protection. It is identical in size to an actual stick of dynamite, providing ample storage for any number of items. Manufactured from aircraft grade aluminum, all parts are bead blasted to a uniform matte finish and then red anodized for that great "explosive" look. But the best feature of the D-Cache is that it utilizes a dual-ended cap design which adds a variety of additional functions across a selection of D-Cache models.

The double-ended cap design allow for easy removal of items by unscrewing either end or by removing both caps and pushing the contents through. But the greatest feature is built into the individual caps themselves! The top cap is standard across all models and includes a removable plastic "fuse", allowing you to exchange fuses of different colors to identify contents when using multiple caches. 

Each D-Cache includes one unique bottom cap, depending upon the model you choose. These interchangeable caps are available in a variety of functional and practical designs which include:

  • Oil filled button compass
  • Glass breaker/scribe
  • Recessed magnet to allow storage onto ferrous metal surfaces
  • 1/4-20 stainless steel threaded insert (for accessory attachment)
  • Green or Aqua colored Embrite™ glow insert for the ultimate glow-in-the-dark marker

Refer to the "End Caps" tab for additional information.

If you don't need the fuse cap and want even more functionality, you can build your own D-Cache by checking out the individual parts section of the D-Cache collection. There you can select just the tube and the exact end caps that suit your needs.

WARNING: This is not a toy for children. The Magnet end cap edition contains small parts and a strong magnet which are a choking hazard and can cause serious injury or death if swallowed. Please keep away from Pacemakers.

Each end cap is fully interchangeable with the main tube body, giving you complete flexibility on which functions you want integrated into your D-Cache.

Fuse Cap: Each D-Cache model includes a common threaded top cap that contains an interchangeable plastic "fuse". This cap also has an internal 24.0 mm [0.95] dia x 8.0 [0.31] mm deep bore for additional storage space inside the tube. The cap includes an integrated o-ring to retain the "fuse" and provides easy pull-out/push-in replacement for a fuse of a different color (colored fuses sold separately)

Compass Cap: This handy cap will prevent you from running around in circles! The embedded oil-filled compass is the perfect companion when carrying your cache in the outdoors. This cap also features an internal 24.0 mm [0.95] dia x 8.0 mm [0.31] deep bore for additional space inside the tube.

Glass Breaker Cap: The Striker Cap, or glass breaker, is the perfect option if you want to store the D-Cache in the glove box of your car. Should you ever be in an emergency that requires a quick escape, the tungsten carbide tip on this cap will get the job done. As an added bonus, the tip can also be used as a scribe for light duty free-hand engraving. This cap also features an internal 24.0 mm [0.95] dia x 8.0 mm [0.31] deep bore for additional space inside the tube.

Magnet Cap: The Magnet Cap allows you to attach the D-Cache to any metal ferrous surface. The integrated o-ring protects the surface you attach it to, and the strong, neodymium magnet provides plenty of pull to prevent the cache from losing its grip. Attach the cache to the inside of your car trunk to prevent it from rolling around, or on the side of a filing cabinet or under a metal desk. Any place you want the cache to stay put! This cap also features an internal 24.0 mm [0.95] dia x 6.0 mm [0.24] deep bore for additional space inside the tube. 

Embrite™ Glow Cap: Going for a hike that ends at night? Need to find your cache in a dark room? Then this is the cap you need, with the integrated Embrite™ glow-in-the-dark insert. Available in either Green or Aqua glow color, Embrite™ is the TEC Accessories proprietary glow technology affording the brightest, longest lasting 'glow-in-the-dark’ effect available. 

When exposed to sunlight or UV light, the included Embrite™ pellet will glow for hours... the longer the exposure time and the higher the light intensity, the longer and brighter it will glow. Glow times can last as long as 12 hours! This cutting edge technology will outlast and outshine anything on the market. This cap also features an internal 24.0 mm [0.95] dia x 8.0 mm [0.31] deep bore for additional space inside the tube.

Threaded Cap: This versatile cap has a stainless steel threaded insert mounted into the center, utilizing the standard 1/4-20 thread size. Integrating the steel insert (rather than simply threading the cap) provides long-term durability and prevents items from stripping the aluminum threads. 

This cap allows you to attach a number of common items to the cache, ranging in function from carry methods to unique applications such as using the cache as a GoPro handle!

The D-Cache Magnet cap contains a neodymium (rare-Earth) magnet, which has a very strong magnetic field. The following cautions should be exercised:

  • Pacemakers can be affected
  • Not intended for use by children
  • Avoid placing near any electronics and/or magnetic media such as credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cellphones or televisions. It can also interfere with compasses and navigation equipment
  • Although the magnet has a protective surface nickel plating, neodymium can corrode and should not be exposed to prolonged periods of moisture
  • The magnet is fragile and can peel, chip, crack or shatter
  • The magnet can become demagnetized at high temperatures
  • Persons with nickel allergies should avoid prolonged contact with the magnet

Shipping Times

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the current logistics delays, shipping times may take longer than expected. This is especially true for International shipments, where delivery times can take weeks longer than usual. This is beyond our control, and we ask that you please be patient with expected deliveries until shipping companies get back to a more "normal" schedule.

We make every effort to process orders within one working day, however there may be slight delays depending upon the number of orders we receive, holiday periods and available staffing resources. Typically we will process all orders within no more than 2 working days.

Shipping times (from the time the package is dropped off at the carrier) will vary depending upon the carrier, method of shipment and destination. For example USPS Domestic First Class Mail should take between 2-3 days, but we have seen instances of 5-7 days. Domestic Priority Mail should take 1-2 days, but can take anywhere from 1-4 days. Domestic Express Mail should take one day, but that is only if your processed order is delivered to the post office before the cutoff time (typically 12:00 noon). Also keep in mind that weather and travel distance can have an effect on delivery times.

International shipments have even more variables that must be considered. A package sent by USPS First Class International can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks, sometimes longer depending upon the country. International shipments have the potential of being delayed by Customs, as well as having additional taxes or fees levied on a package. These are out of our control, and we advise that you become familiar with your specific country's shipping regulations to understand the impact to your shipment.
