    Anybody used any of their stuff? Ordered a winch drum attachment eye from them to fix my broken rope. Grabbed a couple soft shackles while I was there. Seem to be high quality, quick shipping as well........

    Not a fan of companies that use buzzwords in their name.

    $25 for a 30,000lb soft shackle seems too good...

    i don’t particularly care for the name either, but they had what I needed. $8 drum connection tab looks like it’ll fill the bill. And, it’s “tactical”! LoL!

    I found them searching for a way to fix my broke/cut synthetic rope. Had a crimped end on it initially.

    I'm very skeptical of their prices for the merchandise. Either they're making $0 margin forgoing a markup, or the goods are suspect.

    Unfortunately, I'm only in the market for tactical overlander gear.

    But I'm definitely leaning towards a "tactical" bright pink winch rope.

    Since they don't seem to say where their products are made, I have to assume they're just basic chinesium.

    Yep, but it’s extremely rare and getting rarer daily. Heck it’s almost extinct.

    What is the magical stuff. Why, it’s the common sense that usually allows you to avoid the tactical option.

    Does that cover "normal" landmines, or just ambushes and IEDs?

    They've been around a long time, the silly name name didn't age well. They designed the thing Factor 55 copied to start their business.

    It looks pretty legitimate to me. They’ve got good information on the website, nothing that looks or sounds gimmicky. Nice find :thumbsup:

    Shout out to TRE. Ive got a thing I'm working on this weekend and have been taking my chances too long rolling with basically no kit. I emailed TRE on Sunday night seeing if getting my hands on one of their kits before then was feasible... They hit me right back, i sent the order and the kit is at my house today. Great service! I know logistics are messed up now and companies are short on help and inventory.

    I'm no expert, but 1st impressions the gear looks legit. I dig the strings on the soft shackles that let you loosen them after use and the tow ropes have a nice cover on them. Def better than MIC stuff I saw first hand at HF and Tractor Supply. The grammatical errors alone of the Amazon knock-off stuff scared me away from that.

    I'll report back after my Hi-Lift / tree felling adventures are over.
