Look, it may be plastic and not meet certain critics standards, ISO, NSN, whatever. I am a police officer, I bought this three-pack a couple of weeks ago to carry on duty. Last week, I went to a tree fall where the victim was pinned by a limb, compound fracture to his right, tib/fib snapped off at the shin and foot dangling. The victims left leg was also pinned and had significant trauma The weight of the tree across his arteries mitigated some blood loss. I applied two of these tourniquets (one to each leg), and used my Sharpie to mark the time on the tab. The "heroes" arrived with their chain saws and litter and extricated the victim safely.
Haters can hate, that's there call. Sure maybe there is something different between these and one that costs double, but I can attest, they served their purpose brilliantly. There's no way our department-issued SWAT-Ts could have done the same because of how the victim was pinned down (I carry both) between the hard ground and the tree. We were able to thread the tourniquet under and apply it.
Look folks, it an inexpensive option and it did actually work to possibly save this poor guy from bleeding out. Thumbs up.
