The DMOS Universal Mount fits any shovel in the DMOS Delta Collection, as well as any other long-handled tool or axe with a handle diameter of 1 - 1.4".

For extra security when desired, use the lock slot and add any standard lock to deter theft. A wide variety of machined slot-style openings on the back panel allow for mounting on virtually any setup with ease.

How It Works
The DMOS Universal Shovel/Axe Mount is the most versatile tool mount in the DMOS lineup — a compact, sub-1-lb bracket that accepts virtually any long-handled tool or axe with a 1" to 2" diameter handle. That means your Delta, Delta Pro, or any other shovel in the DMOS Delta Collection can live on the outside of your rig, and so can your felling axe, trail axe, or camp hatchet. One mount, multiple tools.
A simple threaded locking nut system does the work: slide your tool into the rubber-edged clamping channel and tighten the nut — no special tool required. The rubber edge pieces grip the handle shaft for a silent, rattle-free hold at any speed. The back panel is full of machined slot-style openings, giving you maximum mounting flexibility on racks, baskets, MOLLE panels, spare tire carriers, bumper systems, and more. Add a standard lock to the built-in lock slot for trail security when you're away from camp.

What tools will the Universal Mount hold?

- Other Long-Handled Tools: Any tool with a 1"–2" round handle will work

How does the clamping system work?
- Insert and Tighten: Slide the tool handle into the rubber-edged channel and turn the threaded locking nut — no wrench needed
- Rattle-Free: Rubber edge pieces compress against the handle to eliminate any movement or noise on rough terrain
- Fast Release: Reverse the nut to release — tool is in hand in seconds during a trail recovery
Where can I mount this on my vehicle?
- MOLLE Panels: The slotted back panel attaches natively to MOLLE-style surfaces including truck bed panels and tailgate systems
- Roof Racks / Bed Racks: Universal slot pattern fits most 1" and 2" bar systems without drilling
- Spare Tire Carriers: REI customer review confirms: "I bolted this mount easily to my spare tire mount"
- Tip: Use 3M 1099 adhesive to secure the rubber edge pieces if they loosen over time
Is this mount compatible with the Stealth XL or Stealth X-Wide Shovels?
- No: The Universal Mount is designed for round-handle tools (1"–2" diameter); the Stealth shovels require the specific Stealth or Stealth XL Mount due to their flat collapsed profile
- Use Case: Best paired with DMOS Delta or Delta Pro shovels, or any axe/hatchet for tool versatility on one mount
