It's official- Raker Ring Tool from CRKT!
on: January 18, 2013, 09:10:42 PM
I just had a look at the CRKT site to see if they had the Raker Ring Tool listed, and indeed they do:

http://www.crkt.com/KERT-Emergency-Rescue-Tool

they call it the KERT (Key Ring Emergency Tool, which you think would be the KRET  :think:) but the important part is, our good buddy Ray done hit the bigtime!

Even better, as I understand it, he's got a few in his hands, and Travis, Ray and I are putting together a chance for folks here to get their greedy little paws on one!  :D

Film at 11, stay tuned for details!

Further down the page they call it " K.E.R.T.™ (Keyring Emergency Rescue Tool). "  so I guess they are a little confused themselves.

But whatever you call it...  nice little piece of kit.   :gimme:

For those that don't know Ray, he's been a member and supporter of this site and EDCSource for some time now, and he did a series of MTO edition Ring Tools.



He's also offered a number of knives and tools over the past few years for giveaways and other events.  He truly is an MTO member even if he doesn't have a huge post count!

It's extremely great to see one of us make it to the next level!

Congratulations Ray!  You deserve it!

I just finished up a web page for the K.E.R.T.  It is at http://www.rakerknives.com/CRKT-KERT.htm, I do think that Grant and Travis are working on a group buy and  may be able to offer them to you in the store.
 For those members that want to suport the store here, they should be available in a week or so. So have patience.  I will have to ship them to Travis and he will need to get it listed there.
I  don't post much, as a matter of fact, the last 3 years I haven't been on hardly any web sites except Facebook.  That is mostly to keep up with the kids and a few close friends and knife makers. :)
I do want all to know that Grant is the one that got me an appointment with Mr. Flagg of CRKT.  He also had faith in the Ring Tool and hopefully, with the exposure of the KERT through CRKT, the world will know how the simple tool on a key ring can be used every day and could possibly help cut you out of a wreck. 
I have had only one person tell me that he used the tool to help save his friends life when he had to cut his seat belt to get him out of a truck that rolled over.  Made my day.

Thanks, Scrappy.  And a Big Thanks to the many customers and friends I have accumulated on here.  I think the store will probably have them for sale by this week end.  You will be the first customers for it.  Makes me feel good to know that this web site has first dibs on purchasing a new product on the market.  You all deserve it.
Thanks to all of you, it  made it this far.

Travis is going to kill me for doing this, buuuut.......

The first run of about 50 Ring Tools are going to be delivered to him any time now, so if you want one you better move quick and send him a PM demanding that your name be added to the list!

It really is a great tool to have easily accessible at work. A lot of crates at work have flat head fasteners, and pallets will come in with nylon strapping so the ring tool works great for those tasks!

Also, if I ever happen to roll the forklift and can't get the buckle undone, it's nice to know this is around my neck! I've had close calls before with some of the massive crates we have, and the almost constant high winds at the airport.

I don't think I've ever seen someone use a seatbelt on a forklift before. I assumed they were only for show!

Lol, it usually is, unless I'm lifting something that acts like a giant sail, then I'll wear it.

That is too funny because I almost lost my job once for not wearing my seatbelt on a fork lift. The rule was, if it had a belt we wore it. But several of the fork lifts didn't have seat belts. I got busted on one that had it, but I wasn't wearing it.

If someone really wants to quote safety then you should point out that if you need to wear seatbelts in a forklift then you should also be required to wear a full helmet and not just a hard hat.  After all, if it falls over sideways then your arse is firmly planted in the seat meaning your unprotected head is going right into the ground.  At least if you aren't belted in you have a decent enough chance of absorbing some of the impact with your shoulder hip and side when it falls.

Don't ask how I know these things...

The first batch of CRKT Ray Kirk K.E.R.T. tools from Ray were waiting when I got home last night.  I have just listed some of them at EDCSource.com:

http://www.edcsource.com/CRKT-Ray-Kirk-Designed-KERT,name,114968,auction_id,auction_details

Thanks to Ray and his friendship with Multitool.org, we have the tools before CRKT shows them as available on their site.
