<- Back to the "TOOLS" page
A handy axe for camping and yard work. The forged steel head has a flattened back that's useful for hammering and pounding, and the entire tool is well balanced and fits even small hands easily. Features a cushioned, non-slip grip, is 13" long and weighs 1 lb., 11 oz.
A multi-use item that you won't want to be without, this super lightweight magnifier not only lets you read small print and maps with ease, it's also great for seeing tiny splinters, and even starting fires! Hold it about 4" above an object to magnify it, or use it to concentrate sunlight into a super-hot beam that easily starts a fire. To start a fire, just hold the lens between the sun and your tinder... you'll see a very bright circle of light. Move the lens to aim and adjust this intense beam of light until it's about the size of a dime... this is extremely simple and can light a fire in seconds! (Please use caution, this light beam can easily and quickly burn skin, clothing and gear!) Measures 7" x 10", is flexible and nearly impossible to break.
Military spec parachute cord won't stretch. Contains seven twisted strands inside a tough nylon covering, 550 lb. test. Greatest all-purpose rope around! Olive drab color, 50 foot length. MADE IN THE USA! Excellent for practicing knot-tying skills too, since it's very smooth and easy to tie and untie (refer to your Book of Outdoor Knots). Carry it in your car, pack, bike, boat, or tackle box...very light in weight (3 oz.), takes up little room, but could be a lifesaver!
The Saber Cut Saw has a 24" patented chain blade with bidirectional cutting teeth, making for fast, smooth cuts. The 1" nylon web loop handles are securely bartacked to special metal swivels to help prevent blade twisting and binding, and the webbing makes it comfortable to use. This baby is SHARP, and it REALLY cuts fast and with minimal effort! Teeth can be re-sharpened, just like on a regular chain saw. Comes in a durable injection-molded case that floats, and the case has a strap to hang on belt or pack. Weight of the saw & case combined is only 6 ounces, and the case is 6.25" wide x 3" long. MANY USES... pruning around the yard & garden, cutting underwater snags, cutting firewood while camping or hiking, field-dressing meat when hunting, clearing downed limbs after a storm. MADE IN THE USA!
This is one of those things you need, but pray that you'll never have to use. The S.O.S. is made to allow you to break out the window glass and cut the seat belt if trapped inside your car. Has two sharp nickel-plated carbon points on the hammer end...just hit the inside of the glass with one and the glass will shatter, allowing you to get to safety if your car goes off into a creek or river, or your vehicle gets swept up in floodwaters and you can't get the door open. In emergencies like this or in crashes, seat belts sometimes become jammed or you can't find the release. A built-in, razor sharp stainless steel safety cutter in the base of the handle allows you to easily cut the seat belt so you can escape. Has a built-in flashlight with a bright beam, too, so you can see what you're doing (flashlight requires two "AA" batteries, not included). The S.O.S. even has a flashing red LED light, so if you're parked in a bad neighborhood you can turn it on, making thieves think that your car's alarm is armed and ready. Has large glow-in-the-dark spots on the hammer itself and on the easily attached mounting bracket, even the flashlight switch glows so it's easy to find! Excellent for automobile owners, over-the-road truckers, emergency personnel, and pilots. And while it was never designed for this purpose, everyone who looks at the S.O.S. has commented that it's sharp points would make a great defensive weapon if you were being attacked. A "must-have" for all vehicles and planes; bracket mounts easily with velcro or screws (included) onto dash, carpet, or door. Compare the S.O.S. Hammer to it's competitor, the "LifeHammer ™"; while both will do the job of cutting seat belts and breaking window glass, the S.O.S. has larger glow-in-the-dark spots, the S.O.S. Hammer has a built-in flashlight whereas the "Life Hammer ™" doesn't, and the price is MUCH lower!
