Fire Talon Multi-tool Review

I am always of a preparedness mindset. I prefer to have my emergency car kit, 72 hour kits recommended by FEMA, and always stocked up with first aid supplies. One thing I always love to have handy is one of those "leatherman" type tools that has everything in it.


In the picture below I have my old "tool" on the left that I got a couple years ago -- it has a canvas carrying case and stated that it is made of stainless steel. Well, it has rusted, and was hard to open (you can't see very well in the picture) but it is very light weight and not usable if I can't get the different tools open!

On the right hand side you see the Fire Talon multi-tool. Now this thing is hefty in comparison to the small rusted one I had before. It has a stainless steel knife blade, scissors, wire strippers, a can opener, both a Phillips and flat-head screwdriver, even an LED light, and pliers.


It comes with a nice rubber handle that doesn't slip. And I can bet that it won't ever rust!




I am keeping this one in my truck -- in the glove compartment.

When closed, this tool measures 4 in. long and weighs 9.8 oz. It would be nice to have one for your

The Fire Talon Multi-Tool comes with a 1-yr warranty, so you know you'll have everything you need right at your fingertips.

3 in One LED Emergency Flashlight

I LOVE the peace that being prepared brings me. I remember back in 2010 when my husband and I were packing to go to Panama for a trip, I stuck an LED light in my purse and he shook his head, laughing at me.

We flew into Panama City then took a cab from the International airport (Tocumen) to the Albrook airport, clear across the city, to catch a regional flight to Chiriqui province. Once we arrived, the lady at the resort we were staying at, came to pick us up in her battered old truck. Sure enough, the truck broke down in the dark, on a road that had no street lights, and not many people driving by.


What came in handy? My LED flashlight! HA! We were able to use the light from the flashlight shining in the engine compartment and somehow were able to fix the problem so we could arrive to our destination.

I always keep a first aid kit, and other preparedness items in my car, and with me when traveling. NutraSilver is another thing I bring with me everywhere because it helps with illness from food poisoning to Dengue Fever, to influenza and even purifying water.

So, I was thrilled when I received this LED Emergency Flashlight


This flashlight is small in size, can easily fit in your car door or glove compartment. It is extremely bright and offers a red flashing strobe, a side light (super bright) and a front light. It is powered by 3 AAA batteries.

I love that it has a magnetic base. When I first got it I stuck it to my refrigerator!

Since I am adding this to my emergency car kit, I am hoping that the bulbs really do last for more than 100,000 hours as it states, and I will only need to replace batteries as needed.
