Exotac ripSPOOL Lightweight Bushcraft and Survival Complete Field Repair Kit and FireCord Lanyard for First Aid, Fire-Starting, Tool Creation, Fishing, and Navigation Tasks, Made in the USA

Face it, its all in one place! That's what I tell myself. Did I actually want to pay the price tag associated with this product, not really. Truth is, and im going to generalize this to the masses. You probably have duct tape, some testline, paracord and a needle laying around in your tool box, work shop or possibly in your trunk. Do you need this orange gadget ( orange was my preferred color), No, but do you want it? Yes! You do, for all of the right reasons, because it 1.consolidates all these different types of essentials and it packs it all into a 2. bic (lighter) size, gizmo called the ripspool! The name is actually fun to say because there's a cool factor associated with it! Admit it, the ripspool is a cool tool and it 3. lightens the load and its easy to carry and use, you simply can't beat the 4. practical functionality of it and its 5. multiple applications. Whether your Camping, going on a day hike, or simply going fishing. Chances are the ripspool could come in handy. 6. Its an investment, I would personally rather have it with me, than need it, and not have it. This tool will eventually pay itself off. Hope this helps, I was not endorsed or paid for my review. Exotic simply makes good, quality gear that backs a punch! Just a handymans perspective.

It's a crime what I paid for this little thing, but I wanted a general sewing/patch kit that I could use for a lot of different things, and this is the best little kit I've found. It lives in my vest pocket. It's literally some duct tape, a needle and some thread, in about as compact of a package as you can find. It's an upholstery needle, and even if it's a little large, it's easy to thread, and you can use the spool of thread as a thimble. It's an extremely well though-out kit, and it's well-made. I just wish it was a little less expensive.

Everyone that ventures outdoors needs a good fixer tool!! This fill multiple roles and multi use tools in the field are sooooo important!! Add its compacted size, weight, construction and you got a serious survival tool! Well worth the money for them just in case moments. Oh and the instructions are super easy to follow and if need be just use the tool at home to get further hands on experience.

Well made and ready to go. Great for an emergency.

I posted a vid review too, hopefully they push it through. A cool little item, very basic but definitely gonna come in handy. Lest we forget, duct tape is first aid too. I also look forward to dropping a baited hook into some otherwise inaccessible spots. It's a bit expensive, realistically but it is made in the U.S. and I bet the price will drop soon enough. Well worth it in my opinion

High Vis. Orange Duct tape with reflective strands would be perfect for this Orange (oddly described as "black" in Amazon description but the metal pictured was Orange) version. This coloration would make for great visibility in reinforcing ponchos/tarps used as shelters in survival situations as well as using "bread tie" sized strips to mark ones route when off trail in case of tracking game or having to hike further when lost or injured. Yes, its expensive for basically duct tape roll with a needle holder...but its very well made; and your great great grandkids may be using it someday on Mars, so put the cost in that perspective! There is more room for needles/folded over trap wire in the center; and one could put hooks under the outermost roll of Duct tape then roll fishing line over the duct tape to further extend its usefulness! ExoTac-offer a Black/Black tape, a Orange/Orange w. reflective strand tape; and a Grey/Grey version to make life simple and for customers to know what they are getting, please.

Clever solution. Useful for field repair of gear.

I love this for my bug out bags! Light and compact, great for travel. Amazing product, worth the price.

Caro per quello che offre il prodotto Con in più il sovraprezzo dei diritti doganali

Purchased this item for inclusion in an EDC kit. It includes about 1.3 metres of 50 mm wide cloth tape, and a sewing needle and suitably strong thread, all contained in a compact storage unit. It is great for the intended use. Would make an excellent hiking or camping accessory. Highly recommended.

Ho acquistato molti prodotti di Exotac e sono tutti di ottima qualità con materiali eccellenti e design raffinato. Sono un pò costosi. Purtroppo l'ultimo acquisto, il kit di riparazione, è arrivato con l'ago interno mancante

Item as described, arrived promptly. 5 star

The construction itself is pretty good but the rope cant hold to the body properly just don't take the plastic wrap of the cord If you don't use IT but still pretty cool
