Bug Out Bag Companion: Knipex to Release 6″ CoBolt Cutters

The Knipex CoBolt Cutters article in our series, The EDC Tool Roll, continues to be one of the most viewed articles in that group. Read it here: The EDC Tool Roll: Knipex CoBolt Cutters

I guess the idea of a tool that is essentially a hand held set of compound bolt cutters is attractive to a lot of prepared citizens. Previously, the CoBolt Cutters were only available in 8″ and 10″ lengths but that is about to change. Knipex has announced that they will release a 6 1/4″ Mini CoBolt.

The Mini CoBolt Cutters will likely give up some leverage to the larger 8″ and 10″ models. It will take some testing to see if these can serve as a more compact option that are still suitable for bug out bag tasks.

RE Factor Tactical VS-17 Marking Panel

RE Factor Tactical calls their new VS-17 Marking Panel “the next evolution of the signal panel”. The 18″x11″, double-sided panel has a yellow side with a silk screened American Flag and an orange side with loop field for attaching IR patches.

It can be attached to a variety of surfaces and gear items with removable bungees at each corner and sewn in rare earth magnets at each corner. The magnets are strong enough to allow the panel to be affixed to a vehicle moving at speeds of up to 55 MPH.

The VS-17 Marking Panel includes a stuff sack for storage.
