Dog Tag Sized Pocket Multi­Tool with Ferro Rod Striker

PDW’s popular dog tag sized pocket tool returns in a second variation with an expanded field craft capability and made in S35VN. This variation features their proprietary Strikeback™ tool function which is designed to strike ferrocerium rods to create a shower of sparks in fire making. This pocket tool is as versatile as it could be with the available real estate of a dog tag profile. This Dog Tag Tool variant features PDW’s proprietary “universal” wrench which fits both standard and metric hardware, a low profile bottle cap lifter, ¼” bit driver, battery bay driver, Strikeback™, crisp precise CNC mill work, jimping, and a durable multi­stage industrial finish. The PDW Enhanced Dog Tag Tool with Strikeback™ is a feature rich compact pocket tool for EDC and the field.

The Enhanced Dog Tag Tool with Strikeback™ uses the premium blade alloy of S35VN. It also includes a MILSPEC stainless steel ball chain so the tool can be worn around the neck. The key ring hole allows use with a split ring and attached to a key ring or lanyard. The Enhanced Dog Tag Tool with Strikeback™ will be an evergreen product for Prometheus Design Werx.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“When we set out to create and design our first pocket tool, we focused on a size and silhouette that most of us recognized in America, the US Military Dog Tag. Not only is this a familiar profile, but from a design perspective it already met some basic criteria for compactness (dimensions and size) relative to usability, i.e. ergonomics. We then proceeded to create the design and functional requirements of all that could be fit within these dimensions. We pursued a higher standard in manufacturing by precision milling this pocket tool instead of taking mass production shortcuts of stamping and heavy tumbling. Our outcome is far more refined, crisp, and precise. The addition of our proprietary Strikeback™ tool was a logical progression in the additional functionality for this
pocket tool. Our choice of S35VN was a decision of using one of the finest stainless blade alloys
currently available. Small, and discreet, this stands tall when it comes to function, features and is indispensable when you need it.”

The PDW Enhanced Dog Tag Tool with Strikeback will be available for purchase on Thursday, April 28, 2016 @ 1300 PST via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

ZeroBravo Alpha Belt

ABS1_L_9

Made in the USA.

What does that mean to you? To some manufacturers it means buying materials or extrusions overseas and finish machining parts in the US, or even having parts made overseas and assembling them in the US.

To ZeroBravo it means sourcing materials that are made in the US and then using those materials to make the best products money can buy! Only when a US made option is not available will we look elsewhere, as is the case with the Austrian made AustriAlpin buckles. All sewing and materials are Berry Compliant and the Dark Coyote Brown conforms to AR670-1.
