We were recently given the opportunity to review and compare a few different models of Fenix brand LED flashlights. We reviewed the Fenix; TK10, L2D, PD30 and PD20. These are mid priced, high quality lights that push a lot of light from standard size batteries. Three of these lights use the common CR123 size battery, one uses AA size batteries. We looked at three lights with 5 separate functions and beam intensities. One of these Fenix lights (the TK10) is a tactical design with two brightness intensity options and a less complicated interface. All of these lights include replacement parts and other accessories in the package when you buy them.

Our first impression of the Victorinox Rescue Tool is a good one. This is a very solid well made folding tool. The first thing you notice is the color. This is designed as an emergency tool, so its bright yellow (StayGlow) handles really stand out keeping this tool from becoming lost if dropped, The bright red and yellow sheath is also hard to miss. For more low key applications there is a black version available. The Victorinox RescueTool fits well in the hand and three of the most important blades are one hand opening and closing even with gloves. This could be a good all around knife. The specialized blades are still useful in other applications. For an EMT or Paramedic this would be a must have tool in my opinion. For a first aid kit or emergency bag this is also a great tool for the money.

This is another of my all time favorite knives. This one is about 20 years old and is in fine working shape wwith plenty of life left in it. I would be worried that Victorinox would go out of business making knives that last a lifetime, but they make so many styles we end up buying more than one, some of us have many more than one.. This one features the following tools: Large and small blades, Can opener with small screwdriver, Bottle opener with large screwdriver and wire stripper, Reamer with sewing eye, Keyring, Toothpick, Tweezers, Corkscrew, Scissors, Wood saw. Now they also have a Hook, this one is an old one before they added that tool. It is 3-1/2 inches closed. All the blades and tools are Stainless steel. And the red composition handle has the Boy Scouts of America logo

Here are two BattleLab Escape & Evasion Bags side by side to compare and contrast. The BattleLab bag in tan seems to be made of better material and looks like it will last longer with heavy use. The Blackhawk version is a bit less sturdy and seems to be sewn together with less skill. Little things like the strap being shorter, lack of full velcro strips on pocket flaps, thickness of materials used all make the Blackhawk bag (in black) less value and less durable with heavy use

We had a chance to take a few pictures of this modified utility pouch that is being used as a dump pouch for empty magazines durring shooting drills and firearms training classes. Inside the top of the pouch are 8 elastic loops for shotgun shells (or something that size) and there was one narrow pocket at the front of the main pouch. The pouch has modified to hold the flap back against the back to keep the pouch open for quick access. It has been further modified by adding some side pockets to keep small items at hand as well
