## Description

The ripSPOOL is a lightweight complete field repair kit that can also be used for multiple survival and bushcraft task to include: first aid, fire starting, fishing and navigation. The ripSPOOL was the brainchild of Daniel at Battlbox and Rob at Exotac. We focused on creating something unique, useful and sexy without compromise. It started out as an easy way to carry duct tape and evolved into a comprehensive field repair kit. U.S Patent No. D859,960

Review: Great gadget, strong thread, but I would love to have some refill capabilities (extra thread, extra tape). High quality, highly recommend as backup for travel!
Review: Was a bit disappointed with the item. It is made well, but not thought through - does not look field-tested. My major frustrations are: *There is only one needle* There is a lot of space in the screw, but there is very little chance to fit more than one needle well. The nub itself is rather large, but has only a tiny hole, only enough for one needle. If that one needle grows legs or has its ear broken, you are SOL. *Thread holding* There is nothing worse than to put this in your pack, rattle up the mountain and find the damn string uncoiled in your backpack... So now you are stuck putting that thread back on the spool. There is no "clip" or "hold" for the string to easily secure it from not unspinning in-motion. I've tried to pinch it with the screw-on that hold the needle, but no such luck, since the thread and screw are opposites and the thread gets undone with the last twists to secure the block. Other then that the item was nicely light and comfortable to carry, which was a surprising bonus. Tape looks like a good quality, but time will tell how much it degrades in the elements while being carried around. Needle is sturdy too. You can "fix" the issue with the thread holding by removing it and putting it back on the spool the other way, so it secures in the main screw, but who has time for that.

## Features

- Over 60 feet (18M) of 30lb test synthetic braided line to be used for re-stitching gear, creating tools or as an improvised fishing kit
- The over 50in. (127cm) of repair tape can be used for patching holes, as an improvised bandage, creating bush-crafting tools or even as tinder
- #16 Sail Needle The sail needle is retained by an o-ring in the line spool so it can be used as an improvised awl / thimble. Pull it out, attach thread and reinsert for sewing.
- The included lanyard has an inner (red) core that can be pulled out and used as tinder. It burns like a candle wick and can be lit with any of our ferrocerium firestarters as well as our nanoSPARK
