GRIPsher – The Formidable Compact Multi-Tool On Kickstarter

Thursday, October 13th, 2016

gripsher

The GRIPsher is a compact multitool “dreamt up by an Army Veteran, refined by an MIT engineer, and brought to life with common sense”. The creators of GRIPsher have designed the tool with a variety of functions, including, but not limited to:

  • Pliers
  • Wire Cutters
  • Phillips head and flat head drivers
  • Material thickness gauge
  • Adjustable hex bolt wrench
  • Heavy duty knife
  • Perhaps the most interesting feature of the GRIPsher is the glow-in-the-dark jaws on the bottom of the tool. Dubbed the HEXGRIP system, the jaws serve as a fully adjustable way to secure hex nuts, bolts, and bits.

    Additionally, the GRIPsher team is hosting a special program called Tools For Troops. For every GRIPsher black model supported, a version of the GRIPsher with black HEXGRIP jaws will be donated to a military service member; this is the only way to get a GRIPsher with black jaws.

    The Wildland Scout Pack is intended for bushcraft enthusiast but worth checking out for pretty much anyone.  I like the combination of modern and traditional construction.

    Now on Kickstarter – The Pretzel Pillow

    Monday, May 23rd, 2016


    It looks like some form of restraint but the Pretzel Pillow is designed to offer comfortable sleep while sitting.  It supports your head, neck and arms.  Think airline seat where access to the armrest is nonexistent thanks to your rotund seat mate.

    Pure Hydration – Sentinel InLine Individual Water Purification Device

    Wednesday, April 20th, 2016

    Sentinel InLine

    Pure Hydration is a company owned and founded by Jon Grant, who has been involved with both the Marine Corps and Army Individual Water Purification programs. Pure Hydration’s latest product, the Sentinel InLine, was developed specifically for military application as an inline filtration system for use with military personnel in the field. It has to be noted that the Sentinel is currently in the prototype stage, although it has passed independent NSF P248 testing, and Pure Hydration is seeking funding through Kickstarter for further testing and refinement of the Sentinel.

    Pure Hydration products feature purifiers which utilize a non-woven, tortuous path depth filter media, with up to 400 layers of pores between high surface area sub-micron fibers. The fibers remove negatively charged sub-micron particles through electroadhesion and electro adsorption, while larger particles are caught within the fiber matrix. Powdered carbon and silver ion components within the filter media further neutralize a broad spectrum of contaminants, allowing water to pass through the filter, clean and safe to drink. The filters have been tested as blocking the following media and pathogens:

  • 99.99997% removal of Bacteria (Cholera, E. coli, Salmonella typhi, etc.)
  • 99.999% removal of Viruses (Hepititis A, Norovirus, Polio, etc.)
  • 99.993% removal of Parasitic pathogens (Cryptosporidium, Giardia, etc.)
  • Also provides protection against such as heavy metals (Cadmium, Chromium, Mercury, etc.) and other inorganic compounds, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs – Benzine, Chloroform, 1,1-1,2 – Dichloroethane, MTBE, etc.)

    PACE Lid Kickstarter Reboot

    Monday, February 15th, 2016

      
    Last month, we told you about the crowdfunding project, PACE Lid by designer Chris Way. Before the project was completed, Chris found an investor to help defray the costs of the mold so he relaunched on Kickstarter.

    I still like the project and have once again backed it. PACE stands for Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency.  That’s exactly what this patent pending lid, for wide mouth Nalgene, MSR, and Klean Canteen bottles, is designed for. It’s a storage option for a wide variety of items including first-aid, survival and spare keys.
