Patriot3 Jetboots Approved For Military Use By The US DoD

Friday, November 22nd, 2013

Jetboots

After several years of extensive testing and development, Patriot3’s Jetboots have received AMU Certification by the US Department of Defense.

The Jetboots Diver Propulsion System, J-DPS is a unique, patented (US Patent 6,823,813) hands-free diver propulsion system designed specifically for the military and commercial diver.

Already adopted by NATO forces for combat swimmer applications, J-DPS is virtually silent. Unlike other propulsion devices, it is hands free and allows the diver to accomplish other tasks.

J-DPS makes finning a thing of the past. With a range in excess of two miles traditional fins are relegated to controlling attitude and direction. J-DPS allows a diver to arrive fresh at a target as well as extending the life of an open circuit rig through lower exertion.

Contact Patriot3 at info@Patriot3.com for pricing and availability.

SAR Global Tool Tactical Titanium Pocket Comb/Cutter

Friday, August 23rd, 2013

Spencer A Reiter is a retired Army NCO who produces some really cool stuff. He now offers a couple of different comb designs. While I am sure that they were developed to handle his beard, I see that they can be used for a wide variety of applications. The description on the site is simple yet gets the point across. The standard pocket comb with a tungsten carbide enhanced cutting notch. Great for opening packages, cutting cord etc.
