exceeded my expectations. The first thing I noticed was its durability; the materials used feel sturdy and reliable, which is crucial for a product designed to apply pressure in emergency situations. I actually compared the CAT from North American Rescue (currently 30+ dollars) against this tourniquet to see what difference ((besides price) there is between the two. I will say that whilst the NA tourniquet may look a little cleaner, both of them are very similar in nature and performance. I stress tested both on a large PVC pipe to see if they failed prior to warping or breaking the PVC and neither disappointed. The tourniquet's design is similar to other tourniquet brands and easy to use, even for individuals with minimal medical knowledge. The instructions provided were fairly clear and concise, ensuring proper application every time. Additionally, the Velcro straps allowed for a secure and adjustable fit around various limb sizes with almost no give. Furthermore, the compact size of the tourniquet makes it easy to carry in a pocket, backpack, or medical bag, ensuring it's readily available when needed most. Overall, I highly recommend this Tourniquet for its quality construction, ease of use, and life-saving capabilities. It's a must-have for anyone serious about emergency preparedness and first aid. Also last but not least……the price is extremely competitive in comparison to other manufacturers.

I use these tourniquets to teach Trauma First Aid, Control the Bleed and Emergency First Aid Fundamentals classes (I'm a USCCA instructor). I needed to get a large quantity of tourniquets for teaching and found these to be a bargain. I require that my students correctly apply a tourniquet (in simulation, not full-compression) to both and arm and a leg so they can get the experience in how to use a CAT style tourniquet. They have held up well in training classes and we have not broken one or seen one come apart. Having said that, we have only used them in training. The photo shows the training kits that my students use in class.

Thankfully I haven't had to use it so my review is based on handling it and practicing applying it. I gave it a 4 because of the directions. The directions are difficult to follow because English isn't the person who wrote the directions first language. They use the words "adhesive tape" when they mean Velcro. There are other words that require some thinking about before following the directions. In the end you can figure it out, but if I were the company I'd pay someone to rewrite the directions to be more clear. They are in English so they are obviously directed at those who live where that is the language. You definitely need to take it out of the package and practice applying the tourniquet before you need it. Following those directions under duress would be difficult. Having said that, it appears well made and looks like it will do the job when needed. I like the fact its self-contained. Everything you need is attached and ready to go. The small size makes it easy to carry in a smaller first aid kit.

I pray to god I don’t need to use them but ease of use is very simple and work very well

If you need a good torque to carry on duty. Tbs is it. I would recommend this product. I carry when armed. Good quality low cost and you get so many.

Good price. On e of these cost more than all 4 of these together. So not much thought has to go there

A must have for my car and hiking bag.

It will save your life if you need it.
