All too handy bottles of alcohol, credit cards and late night web surfing really don't mix.

IN this particular instance I decided to check out the Stealth Angel Survival Kit, which claims to have over 1000 uses.

https://www.stealthangelsurvival.com/products/compact-tactical-kit

I am more than a little skeptical about it, but I thought for $20 I would give it a shot to see just how bad it is.  I mean, I have the Fauxton (I bought I think 30 of them for $10), I have the idiotic "multitool card" and the whistle is the same whistle I got for my Nephew Survival Packs at Christmas, so I know first hand that most of it (if not all) is junk, but I was still curious.

I'll report back when it arrives, but in the meantime I thought you all might appreciate a laugh at it's "$69.99 Regular Price."

It's a $20 joke, but absolutely not a 70 joke....  :facepalm:

I got that style of flashlight for 4 euro.  :D

Maybe it is already here and it is so stealthy I don't know.....

But until it reveals itself I am going to have to say no, it is not here.










Or is it.....  :ahhh

But I am doing tactical room entries every time to go to the washroom to make sure I am not taken unaware.

I have opened it, and.... I am speechless.  This set has a capability far beyond that of ANY multitool I own, have seen or used.

I am uploading the pics now... I will post them and details when the shock wears off....

I'd say I was wrong, and that all of you should go out and order this set ASAP, but frankly, while I have the highest of opinions regarding MTO members, I don't believe for a moment that any of you could truly understand what you are getting into....

The kit starts off with a plastic box, with plastic hinge on one side and clips on the other three.  I can't imagine these hinges will hold for too many openings/closings, but with clips on three sides, it might still be useful after they break.  At least until the clips break off too.   :facepalm:



Open the box and you find the following:



1x Firestarter & one piece multitool
1x Whistle
1x Fauxton light
1x Tactical flashlight
1x Compass
1x Tactical pen
1x Multitool card

Where to start?



The Firestarter kciks off a good spark, but don't Tell Megan because I fired it off in the house and she tends to drown on such things.  It's hard to screw that one up, so power to them on that one.



The one piece multitool is phenomenally special in ways that I was not expecting.  It has a 1/4" driver and a cutout on the end, supposedly for use on the fire steel, but I have no idea how well that works as I used the Sync II on it instead.  You see, this small one piece tool is like none other- on one side it has a small ruler that goes from 0 to 50mm, and on the other it has a ruler that measures from 0 to 5km.



Yup, you read that right, 5 kilometers.  For those of you that don't know how big a kilometer is, it is roughly about three miles.  On  small tool that fits in your pocket or on your keys.  How does it do this?  Simple.... the 5km ruler is 1:100,000 scale, so all you need to do is measure something with it and multiply it by 100,000 and you have exactly the size you need.   :facepalm:



Just take a moment to absorb that a little.... take your time, I'll wait.......



Ready?



Ok, let's move on then.



Next up we have the whistle, which is exactly the same whistle that I got for my nephews for Christmas- they are functional but are also super cheap.  I think they cost me about $1 each.  Nothing special there, but it works.



Ditto for the Fauxton Light.  Like the billions of copies before it, and the billions of copies to come, it is cheap, bright and functional.  And cheap. 



Then there's the flashlight- it's a small LED tactical light with the impact bezel and a bright orange clicky tail cap and pocket clip.  Totally ninja approved, except that I have no idea whether it works or not since there was no battery included with it, and I am not sure what batteries it takes.  I am guessing it's CR123, but 'll have to dig some batteries out and check- since they also included no documentation to let you know what batteries it should take.



Then there's the compass.



See anything wrong?



I don't think I'd be wanting to trust my well being, or that of anyone I care about to this thing, since it seems to have varying opinions as to which way North is.  Maybe I'm just being old fashioned, in this modern day of gathering multiple viewpoints, but this is just not a quality I appreciate in a compass.  After all, between this compass' vague directions and the amazing distance measurements of the multitool, one could find themselves wishing they'd taken that left turn in Albuquerque.   :facepalm:



If you should find yourself in the wrong place as a result of these wonderful included navigational aids, you may want to write someone a nasty note-and this is where the Stealth Angel kit may come in handy. Not only can you use the tactical pen to write them a nasty note, you can also save on postage by using the glass breaker to deliver the note to their desk without needing a stamp.  But, being as cheap as it is, I would stick to thin glass with this thing as it is just as likely to shatter itself as the glass.



Last but not least (least would be quite an accomplishment with a kit like this) is the multitool card.



This one is well documented here on the forum in various places.



All in all I don't see this thing as being worth $10, let alone the $20 this particular idiot sunk into it.  Instead, get yourself a nice Otter Box and add in a few of your own items, such as, oh, I dunno, a compass that actually knows what direction is north?  You'll thank me for it if you ever need to use it....

Like dks said, AA batteries. I have a bunch of flashlights in exactly that style(-branding) and they take AA. There must be a factory making these by the million, very decent throw and brightness for 4 euros.  :D
They go by Cree Zoomable on the bay.
Example: http://m.ebay.com/itm/Tactical-Cree-T6-Zoomable-5000LM-LED-3-Modes-Police-Flashlight-Torch-Lamp-Light-/331715495984?hash=item4d3bc8c830%3Ag%3AVewAAOSwa-dWotnp&_trkparms=pageci%253Aa13a8725-1323-11e7-983a-74dbd1807402%257Cparentrq%253A113e335e15b0a787395a2a71fff36db0%257Ciid%253A5

And why will megan drown if you use the fire starter in the house?  :ahhh

I'll try AA.  It looks too wide for AA bit too long f9r CR123.

If it's AA it might be ok.  You know.... if it works.   :facepalm:
