Tourniquets, 4-Pack Single-Handed Spinning Tourniquet, Reinforced Windlass Rod, Combat Medical First Aid Application, Emergency Rescue Rapid Bleeding Control Equipment

I recently went shooting with a LEO friend. He turned me on to the idea and I can't believe I didn't think of it myself. Ya never know when this might come in REAL handy. Stuff happens - be prepared.

Recently returned another brand and ordered more of these after comparing them side by side. This windlass remains stiff when torque applied, and buckle has no flex to it. I have not used this to save a limb yet, but have purchased from multiple other suppliers in the past and these offer a noticeable quality for the price.

Great for the value and used one several times in training. Good for one hand operation.

The material looks good (nylon in the descriptions),the velcro sticks very well,I tried it on my thigh and it totally stops the blood flow,although I don’t want to use it,but it’s better to keep one in the first aid kit.

Very easy to use, made of strong material and I would recommend these as a must have in any tram kit!

They seem to be of good quality, but will have to let yal know after I have used one.

The siz3s are not the standard size, so if you put them in a kydex tourniquet holder, they will not fit. Very upsetting, but I didn't unpack them until I was past the return window. Now I'm not sure if they'll even work correctly.

I'm happy with these for the price point. I'm going to keep one in each car because that is the most likely place I would foresee needed one and my car is always with me. That said on a fundamental level I see plenty of peppers (and I tend to be one), adding these to their go bags, which is awesome. I might do the same. However just to be clear, a tourniquet is only there to get you to advanced care. If you use one, there is a high probability your are also loosing the limb, but its better than bleeding out and loosing your life. Its not like when stuff hits the fan and you apply a tourniquet in the field that all of a sudden you are going to make it. Without advanced medical care all you did was slow down your demise.A few minor issues I found.1. They are not pre-looped out of the bag. In other words you need to thread them through the loop, which is perfect for a leg, but if you had to one-handed apply it to an arm, you'll want to make make it into a large loop ahead of time so you can slip it over and then pull the strap tight with your good hand. In this configuration if you need to apply it to a leg, you will probably want to undo it. But its easier to undo it with two hands than to put it together with one hand to apply to an arm. I also found how to thread it slightly confusing (no fault of the product - its actually simple), so I can only imagine if I'm applying to myself how clear my mental state would be while my blood is gushing. Having it preloaded makes figuring it out easier in future.2. I think the straps are a little wide, though I don't have a real comparison.3. The white velcro time band that is designed to keep the buckle from coming undone actually gets in the way. If you have the tourniquet on tight enough to stop blood flow, then its most likely not popping out of the buckle.That said I do think they will work if the time ever comes. There are probably better quality ones on the market, but you'll pay a premium for them over these. I'm happy to have a 4 pack and will distribute them into my vehicles first aid kits.
