Video was pretty thin on HOW to tell fakes, and reasons why fakes are bad. Is it the Velcro? the windlass? The tightening band? Need more meat to the info.
Pretty thin on why it's fake and how to tell a fake one. I like the posts but this was not really clear and precise. I'm a former SF Medic.
so.. you made me watch a 5 min video and still didnt explain how to spot a fake or why its not good to use a fake..
I still don’t know why the knock off is inferior or unsafe. Do they break, stretch, too short, too long, bad “Velcro”, flexible rod, weak windlass, weak buckle? What is it about it? You don’t really say that much about quality. Please no “my friend had a Chinese one and... do some testing, show results. I’m interested in knowing and I’m sure a lot more people are as well. Thank you skinny dude.
I've read several paramedics unaware of carrying counterfeit CAT in the fields, and the windlass snapped while trying to stop the bleeding. There should be strict laws on counterfeiting medical products as this is a device that decides life and death.
FYI I broke one of the fakes applying it to a manikin!
sadly I have had issues with real CATs as well. The volunteer department I use to work for got a few dozen CATs from the local military base so we know they were real. Long story short we had 3 break on us in the next year (and we only used a few that year so it was like a 15-25% fail rate) so the medical director went so far as to prohibit the use of them by the department and we went back to the SOFT-T
There are actually ads for the cheap knockoffs under your video.
Could you review recon medical cat tourniquet
These are the videos that I like on youtube. Very genuine, right to the point and none of the crazy clickbait graphics. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
The problem here is two-fold. One - it is becoming increasingly difficult to identify a "fake" on Amazon. The seller states they are real, legitimate CAT tourniquets. The seller also changes on the same posting depending on stock. You could buy a real CAT today from Amazon and tomorrow the seller would be different and it would be a fake.
Good thing I watched this before buying a set of 3 for $15. Thank you!!
I'm glad that I came across your channel. It's very educational and informative! I went through my two IFAKs and one of the two was a fake. I'm glad I came across it before I actually depended on it!
I'm very glad I came across this video before I bought a tourniquet to wear while I conceal carry!! Very good to know the difference!! Thanks brother!!
Wow thank you so much, I bought a CAT Gen 7 off amazon for my personal jump bag (I’m an EMT) and after watching this video, I noticed that both the time stamp and back plate were off. I then applied it to my arm and got 4 good turns out of it. I now keep it to educate my squad on fake TQs and immediately bought a new one from NAR. Thank you so much for the info, you definitely just saved someone’s life!
May sound crazy, but you can enhance the quality of a cheap tourniquet by simply laminating the windlass with multiple layers of resin. I have done this and tested it for durability. It's almost as good as a steel windlass. Although I do have NAR, and Recon TQs, having some extras as backup is always ideal.
I work at a hospital and i had to do some continuing education stuff today and these tourniquets were one of the modules. I have never seen these before today and then this video shows up on my RUclips. They are reading my mind!
Love it mate thanks for making a video like this when you doing a job or going out to have fun and you get put in that situation where you gonna help someone out you want to know that you've got the best of the best equipment
