Get The LT, The Handcrank Is Calling!

February 14th, 2018

The K-Tor Power Box reminds me of the G-76 handcrank generators we had when I was in the Army. The story goes that when the XO on an SFOD-A was a Lieutenant, it was his job to crank the generator to power the team’s radios. Once the XO position was converted to a 180A Warrant Officer spot, the tradition mysteriously ended.

Size Folded: 12 in by 5.5 in by 3.5 in, weight 4 lbs 11 oz, power output 120 volts DC 20 watts. It has a standard three-print plug making it compatible with most portable electronics chargers like cell phones, tablets, digital cameras, etc.

They also offer a 10W 120V DC @2Hz generator which is smaller in size.

Unique ARs – Unique Grip

February 13th, 2018

We’ve sure been seeing a lot of AR pistol grips lately.

The Unique Grip conforms to a person’s hand with polymer plates that ergonomically move a little side-to-side and front-to-back. It holds the formation of the person’s hand with a UV protected silicon tube.

The silicon helps the plates form a person’s hand whether it’s left or right and locks down into the receiver with a steel grade bolt. The bolt tightens into the lower receiver to hold the custom formation.
