These fit perfect in generic iwb magazine pouches for those looking to carry them and not cover them with pocket lint

If you carry anything that can make a hole then you should carry one , I carry one even when hiking or fishing a bad fall can break a bone and poke the artery same as any knife so I for one agree 1000% about carrying one .

Bryan, thanks for sharing your knowledge and reviewing this ETQ. I've been carrying a SWAT-T because it fits in a back pocket, and it can serve multiple purposes. This looks even better as a TQ.

I'd have to say the SWAT-T is probably my least favorites of all. It is just very difficult to self apply one handed (at least for me). You've got to get that first wrap to hold on a bloody limb and then pull relatively hard to stretch it enough (some people may not have the strength, especially if injured), and then you have to do do the whole "pull and tuck" routine without anything coming loose. (Can you tell how much I don't like it?) ;-) If you like the SWAT-T, then you should check this one out. One of these is in my pocket right now. kzitem.info/news/bejne/13mvs4KJZnxqgqA

Looks great. And you and i have disagreed on TQs for several years, lol. Also i always go one turn passed the bad words. Or one more turn after the pulses disappear. Ive seen them either loosen up or the body figures out how to push blood flow beyond a tq and it has to be tightened again so just do one more.

Tk4 for the win
@SurvivalOnPurpose
2 ай бұрын
I don't think the TK4 is being produced anymore. And, honestly, it was never my favorite. I always have trouble both getting the first hook set quickly so I can start wrapping and then i have trouble getting the hook to stay under the wraps after it is applied with enough pressure. Plus the elastic seems to deteriorate with age. I prefer the RAT to the TK4, even though it is always more painful to me.

I think these are pretty new. As far as I could determine, they are working on that type validation. But, they do have some pretty serious testing videos on their website attesting to the strength of the design and manufacture. Since the windlass tourniquet design has proven itself, I'm comfortable trusting this more compact version. It's made in the USA and the build quality on the ones I bought is excellent. It doesn't look like they are cutting corners trying to be a "budget" option. But, you have to trust whatever you carry.

Suppose the TCCC did not exist. What exactly do you see as a potential problem with this specific tourniquet? Because, if it works, it works. And, based on my non-TCCC testing, it works.

@@SurvivalOnPurposeCoTCCC exists for many reasons, mainly to bring evidence based medicine to light. This one has been proven to not occlude blood flow and has a first time application success rate of 11%, CAT 7 has above 97%. Plus the tissues damage caused by these is pretty bad.
@SurvivalOnPurpose
2 ай бұрын
Wait, if there is not a single study on these, how has it been "proven" to not occlude blood, have such a low first time application success rate or cause bad tissue damage? Did you watch the video? It is applied exactly the same at a CAT and the actual constriction band inside the CAT is the same 1. Bottom line, use whatever you trust but I consider this a viable option for those who have resisted carrying a TQ because they are too bulky.

@@SurvivalOnPurpose sorry, what I meant to say was that there hasn’t been a single study on these that show them as being effective. More harm than good. It’s better to save an extra $20 and buy a CAT 7, a proven tourniquet. To suggest these is just practicing and encouraging bad medicine.

@@SurvivalOnPurpose If you wat to trust a tourniquet that has a 11.8% success rate that was developed by a company who trade marked a company called "TCCC" just to say that it was "TCCC approved" after it did not even come close to passing the CoTCCC standards then go for it but spreading misinformation has the potential to cost lives and is just allowing others to practice bad medicine.
