When you put this tool in the skilled and steady hands of a combat engineer, the first thing he''ll probably say is something like this: How the devil did I ever get along without this? It''s a fair question when you consider the compact versatility of the D.E.T.
The hearty stainless steel is coated with a black, non-reflective coating that''ll never produce a give-away glint while working in the sun. Our patented one-handed opening plier mechanism can be a lifesaver in the field, whether you''re under the gun or not.
Unique to the D.E.T., a punch for C4 explosives and a blasting cap crimper. Then there''s the pure, can-do functionality of the premium RemGrit® blade for severing cable. The ballistic NylonNylon Material:
A heavy-duty woven nylon fabric originally developed for use in bullet proof vests and personal body armor. Offers great durability in a lightweight sheath. A method for carrying a knife, tool, light, etc., on your belt, pack or anywhere a strap is. Sheaths are made of ballistic nylon, leather, kydex and various other materials. Sheaths usually come with a Velcro or snap closure. |

I’m an EOD guy on my way into my second Iraq tour, not a combat engineer. I think its wonderful that someone made crimpers a part of their multitool array. Only a few complaints to address. The first is the crimp needs to be better, maybe a water tight dual crimp, that’s the only reason i use my other crimpers more often, they dual crimp for a water tight "seal." Second shorten the tip on the C-4 punch, it should be a short tip/cone, what happens is the long hole that’s left by the tip of the punch leaves to much room for Murphy. The cap will only go so far and then your still left with another 1/4" of air gap and no explosive continuity. Last is just a preference more than an improvement, and that is to make the whole thing out of a non-magnetic material, if possible. Don’t get me wrong with all of this, I use your product regularly, for more than just the crimpers and its held up wonderfully, but if you implemented these changes and made a new product, say an EOD product, I don’t doubt it would be the new standard issue for most EOD units worldwide. And one last thing, it should be an EOD pitched tool, because lets face it, comparing EOD to combat engineers is like comparing hot wheels to monster trucks, but hey, every body needs someone to look up too right? Thanks for your time, and I hope you consider my suggestions. Take care.-EOD GUY

I'm a Combat Engineer that is almost finnished with my third tour in Iraq. Keep your wonderful product the same! This tool has been around for some years now and mine has never failed me! I do not know how well any of my missions would have gone without it. Don't change the crimpers and dont change the punch, C4 and its components are easily worked with with this tool."Murphy" and his crew can take a hike when I have this product in hand. Keep it your standard stainless steel with its non- reflective coating. This is a rough and tumble environment, if EOD cant hang... You'll find the Engineers up front with the Infantry!
