I saw a lot of interesting gear at Modern Day Marine but the OM27-S from SERE Industries stuck out for a couple of reasons. First off, is the obvious; it’s a multi-functional tool, but creator Tim Langan is also a Marine Corps Veteran and based the design on need. Items built fulfill an operational need always garner my attention. Langan says, in addition to its use a tool, the OM27-S can also be used for fitness applications. Those of you who participated, may recognize the tool from type US Army’s 2016 Advanced Warfighting Experiment.
The OM27-S consists of the OS-100 Operational MultiPurpose Support Bar which serves as the tool’s shaft, OG-1 MultiPurpose Survival Tool which resembles the spearhead, M5 MultiPurpose Utility Handle which looks like a hammerhead, CCW-101 Cervical Counterweight and MutiPurpose Shovel which is the hexagonal item, and the Tactical Survival Bag/Field Litter-Splint.
The SERE OM27-S Survival Tool is a one-of-a-kind hybrid multi-functioning tactical tool designed for infinite combinations of use and brings the individual a system of over 50 solutions for a variety of operational applications in multiple threat environments in 7.7 pounds.
There’s a lot of capability here. I’m going to try to purchase one to enhance the BII for my Pinzgauer. The SERE Industries OM27-S is available for unit and agency purchase through Federal Resources.

Some good stuff there. Gotta wonder about what I assume is Velcro for the counterweight/shovel head attachment, how is that going to hold up with mud? I would like to see a more conventional shovel head. I do like the thought of a multipurpose counterweight, but batteries,strobes……..
I gotta say, I’ve never seen a tool pick up leaves, or hammer into dirt quite as well as this tool did.
Neat tool, though the video really needs some cheerful western music.
Needs more “function show”
Is this going to be available online for purchase ? And ship to Australia ?
SSD, who makes that awesome multicam case in that top pic? is it for the tools? because that case looks bitching for a SBR!
It’s for the tools.
