What’s with the name?
BullyBag® & Tool Company, Inc derives its name from our founders United States Marine Corps legacy, and the USMC mascot of the Bulldog “Chesty” which has become our brand’s face representation. For those who do not know, the Bulldog has been the mascot of the USMC since 1922 when first introduced by Smedley Butler as Mr. Jibbs. The Bulldog was eventually renamed “Chesty” in honor of the highest decorated US Marine warrior, Chesty Puller a great leader with empathy and compassion for his troops, was centered in humility, integrity, and pride for his “beloved Corps”. General Chesty Puller never forgot the #1 priority of Mission Accomplishment, and neither have we. Mission Accomplishment and Integrity are at the center of our corporate culture and go into every tool we design we produce. For example, one of our trademarks, “Claim the Storm®” has more depth than most think. Some think it’s about insurance claims and storms, which would not be untrue but it does not end there. Claim the Storm® speaks profoundly to the strife that is part of life. The horrors one experiences. The real-life turmoil felt first hand or found in others. Whether it is PTSD, visible wounds or worse, we all have storms within us from time to time. Some run from the storm and avoid it, which usually allows the storm to grow. Some turn and face their storms head-on – deal with the stress, pain, and difficulties that are dealt with all of us. We know not everything is easy but, when the storms come we hope you Claim the Storm® in your personal and professional life every day, and to make the most of this amazing thing, life. Claim the Storm®
Semper Fidelis
Born from catastrophe, grown by grit, and nurtured in tradition, the Bullybag® & Tool Company, Inc. was conceived long before its inception, and long before it was named.
Designed from a spirit of “someone has to do something,” founder Jerod Allen began his search for an all-encompassing utility pouch while adjusting insurance claims back in 2011. Over the next several years, he became increasingly frustrated at the lack of field tools for Adjusters and Estimators, and soon he began designing his own. Over the course of the next 5 years with what little spare time he had, deployment after deployment, and hundreds of interviews with Adjusters and Contractors he slowly began perfecting what would come to be known as the Bullybag® Ultra Pouch. While working Hurricane Irma in SW Florida, using the Bullybag prototypes 3 and 5, he found the manufacturer that builds the weaponry bags for the United States Marine Corps. 5 years in design, an additional nearly two-years of field testing the prototypes and countless revisions, the BullyBag arrived. Designed to help you to Claim the Storm. Grit, determination, and tradition are sewn into every ballistic fiber of the Bullybag and our Bulldog chosen to grace the face of the company to provide that same reminder.
As we say at BB&TC “You’ve got the Grit. We’ve got the Gear”
