Tuff Writer Operator Tactical Pen

Details
Category: Admin-Intel
Created: Monday, 21 February 2011 07:31

Tuff Writer has been keeping busy and offers yet another variant of their tactical pen design. It looks pretty similar at first, but I think they did some really great changes on this operator series to make it shine. It is closer to the EDC size, only being slightly longer and has a point more like the original Frontline series which is less sharp than the EDC variant. I dig the size as it short enough to allow for easier holding options whether it be a pocket or notebook while still being long enough to be a plausible self defense tool.

Tuff-Writer EDC Tactical Pen

Details

Similar to the Frontline series, KnifeArt.com teamed up with Tuff-Writer to create this EDC variant. Looks like they may have taken some of my advice on my original review as this EDC version is based on their "shorty" version. The full Frontline pen is about 6.5" long while the shorty and EDC are 5.75". I'm a fan of the shortened length as it allows for the pen to be stored in more places. The downside is that it is less optimized for defense, but I'd say the vast majority of users will consider this a pen first and a defense tool second.

Rite in the Rain - Notebooks

When you need to get your tactical or high adventure write on, look no further than Rite in the Rain products. Featuring paper with an acrylic-based coating, this allows the pages to perform in all weather conditions. Water drops such as due to rain will just glide right off and even if fully submerged, the paper will stay intact rather than turning into mush.

This unique little pouch is an interesting smaller design.  The main pouch is a tear drop esq shape coming in around 4.25"L x 2.5"W x 1.25"D. A single zipper is used for the main opening then a hole on the other end gives a clean opening for 2 pieces of 550 cord. A keyring is included for a connection point and it prevents the pouch from losing the cord.

COUNTY COMM A&P Aircraft Mechanic's Key Rings

Details
Category: Admin-Intel
Created: Thursday, 06 December 2007 03:55


These rings weren't exactly tools so I decided to toss them here in the admin area. They are made from stainless aviation cable with brass screws and barrels, yet still priced quite affordably. The original intent is to be used as beefy keychain replacements, but also work great to keep tools and other items together. Operation is simple in which the user routes the cable through the items and screws the ends together. Unscrew to release. I only show the 6" version, but there is a 12" version available as well. A bonus cool feature is that the screw end design allows multiple rings to be used together to make larger ones. Simple, useful, and affordable; makes these rings hard to pass up.

COUNTY COMM 10X21 SPY MONOCULAR

6.5 degree field of view, made by NcSTAR

Picked this lil guy up for viewing targets on the range and to generally see things further away on trips since I don't have a super zoom lens on my camera. Since it is so small I can toss it in my pocket or most gear with no hassle. Stores flat and is turned 90 degrees to make it ready to use (aka view things right side up). The red end points to what you want to see and clear end goes to your eye. The eyepiece is turned to adjust focus. It appears things need to be at least around 25 feet away to be focusable. I don't know why, but I thought I had to hold it a certain way to be right side up at first.
