I have these all over the place!
Great quality TQs. I have them in my vehicles, house, work shed portable kits, etc. This is a wonderful company that I can trust to sell legit medical equipment. I would never purchase stop the bleed equipment from Amazon. I love Amazon, but not for this gear.

Cat gen 7
It’s looks and feels well made at a good price. As for using it I hope I never have to give a review on how it works. Stay safe ??

The essential produce I hope I never need.
I'd give it 5 stars but I've never used a tourniquet in a true emergency, just training (military and civilian). That said, in training this the CAT Gen 7 is always the easiest to employ quickly and correctly. So, it's a solid 4 stars for me and I hope I never have to give it one more star from personal experience.

This or the SOF-T
You can't go wrong with a CAT or SOF-T. 4 stars because I'm carrying either one and both perform when they need to.

Great quick shipping and fantastic customer service. Realized I had purchased multiple knockoffs from Amazon so I decided to go with a reputable store like dark angel. Did not disappoint

Counterfeit TQs are a big issue these days, which is why I only buy them from Dark Angel. I picked up some orange this time around and couldn't be happier
