Wise Men Company Pill Bug Tool Roll

The Wise Men Company’s Pill Bug Tool Roll is an EDC-sized tool roll with tactical sensibilities. It is constructed from 500D nylon and features 9 pockets of various sizes. The Pill Bug can be opened and lays flat to present all your tools like any other tool roll. It also folds in half and can then be rolled into a tight bundle which is secured with shock cord.

If you have followed The EDC Tool Roll series on JTT, you haven’t seen many true tool rolls because most are larger than is necessary for the types of tools profiled. The Pill Bug however, is sized specifically for EDC so it might be a solid option for those looking to carry tools from that series.

First Ever Sale at Gearward

Gearward is hosting their first ever sale and its a doozy. They are offering 25% off everything with no coupon code necessary.

I personally use several of their products. Their Ranger Bands are more robust than homemade, inner tube bands and are great for sling retention, gear management, and even emergency fire starting. Their Compact Survival Cord offerings are my favorite way to carry emergency cordage. The FireBox and Fire Cord waterproof emergency tinders work very well for me. Even the slick new HemiSERE Titanium Lapel Knife is on sale.

These items have never been on sale before, so it might be a good time to stock up. Gearward.com

Wndsn Pocket Quadrant Telemeter

We’ve showed you Wndsn’s pocket calculators before. These trigonometry based tools allow the user to calculate distance, angles, and more with the need for electronics or electricity… none… at all. Their newest tool, the Pocket Quadrant Telemeter, is likely their most ambitious tool yet.

The basic function of this tool is to determine distance based on known object size but it can do a lot more than that. In fact, it has about 50 different known uses and the math involved is flexible enough that people are still finding ways to use it. The Pocket Quadrant Telemeter comes with an acrylic card etched with graphics that contain all the baked in trig functions, a dyneema cord, a tungsten carbide plumb weight, and a sleeve.

It also includes a printed cheat sheet for using Wndsn Telemeters and a digital copy of their comprehensive guide to telemeters. These instructional items are a must if you plan on even scratching the surface of what these tools can do.

Check out the Wndsn Pocket Quadrant Telemeter at WNDSN.com and learn more in their blog post.
