Tactikey is a close-at-hand self-defense device

NEWS – Some of the main principles of self-defense are vigilance, self-awareness, and readiness, and having a personal protection device close at hand helps facilitate this readiness.  Tactikey was developed for just this purpose.  A simple patented device in design, build and use, it is a single piece of molded TPE plastic material weighing on 0.03 ounces.  It slides down and snaps over any “Quickset” style key on your keyring, and can be wielded between your fingers in an intuitive grip as seen above, and is ready at hand, part of your EDC, right on your keyring.  Available in four colors for $9.99, visit Tactikey.com or Amazon to order.

Pad & Quill’s new TechFolios will tame your cable chaos

NEWS – When you love gadgets and gear as much as we do, you sometimes run into problems finding the cables needed to charge those gadgets. Throwing them in the bottom of your gear bag isn’t the best habit because it’s hard to see and find them, let alone the fact that they can become damaged by kinking or becoming tangled on other items in your bag. One way around this issue is to have a dedicated pouch just for all your cables and little gear bits. I’m actually working on a roundup video of several gear pouches, and that’s why the new TechFolios from Pad & Quill caught my eye. These folios are designed especially to hold cables and small items. They are made of full-grain leather and are available in three sizes and are priced from $59.95 up to $119.95 for the Pro size. The middle-sized Classic version is available now while the other versions are coming soon. Head over the P&Q for all the details.

NEWS – I travel outside the USA for work a few times per year, and though I typically just shove my passport into my pocket, I’ve found myself wishing I had some sort of cover for my passport to protect it.  They I stumbled upon All Passport Covers and decided to investigate further.  Turns out these folks are geeks after my own heart, and carry passport covers in lots of themes, including Star Wars (It’s an older passport sir, but it checks out), Lord of the Rings (maybe one does just walk into Mordor), Marvel, Dr. Who, Transformers, and several more.  On the technical side, the covers are made from high-quality polyurethane faux-leather with gold-leaf printing, include RFID shielding, and have slots for 4+ cards and other items in addition to your passport.  Typically selling for $50.00 each, they are currently on sale for $28.95 directly from allpassportcover.com.
