Thanks for pointing this out. I was a Rescue Task Force instructor, teaching fire & police departments how to rescue victims during an active shooter situation. The tourniquet issue you discussed was a big problem, and we were sure to pass on the info to the agencies we taught. The NAR CAT tourniquets you recommend are the standard carried by most agencies in the Chicagoland area. We tested several tourniquets and compared several retailers. We found that even if you think you're buying a good tourniquet, some suppliers (usually selling via Amazon) will send you a counterfeit product that will fail. We've had the tension bar crack, Velcro fail to stick, and failure of the tension strap as you demonstrated. You're not going to find a quality tourniquet for under $20 - $25. Fortunately, the chance of you needing one is low, and you don't need dozens. So, spend the $ up front for a good one. If you want a "practice" tourniquet, then buy a cheap one. Lastly, North American Rescue has a few good videos showing how to use a tourniquet and other products. We show these to the medics and officers during the RTF classes. I highly recommend watching them. Thanks, again, for posting this video!
@@baeronwheels3922 More than likely, they probably source from the same place as North American Rescue or use theirs. You can always email and ask. It they make quality gear.
SWAT medic here and this is just my opinion. The majority of constriction pressure should come from tightening the strap. The windlass rod is only meant to be twisted once or twice for additional compression. The minimal amount of fabric/material attached to the rod will not allow 7 rotations, as demonstrated in this video, and should not be expected to withstand this amount shear force. Tourniquet application failure is most likely due to improper application tactics.
I saw in another video showing that in a real CAT, the thin strap kinda adjust when you pull on the main strap. and on a Chinese (fake) CAT the thin strap doesn't adjust so you have to twist alot more
@@tatatillo4314Nope. I applied a tourniquet on myself that I bought from Tacticon Armament to see if they worked. It only took 2 and a half, half turns of the windlass to get occlusion. Because I applied it correctly and pulled the tourniquet good and tight before turning the windlass. This chump got nearly 8 turns and never got occlusion and snapped the strap because he applied it wrong. I wouldn’t trust this chump in an emergency.
It’s failing because it’s not to be turned until failure. You pre-tension when putting it on and only turn it a handful of times. Said so by a US Army combat medic… 👍🏻
Good work on that James! They are the most user friendly and easiest to deploy. I carry a SOF Tourniquet as part of my EDC as they tend to ride in a pocket more easily and are multi-use rated. Not that I ever plan on using the same TQ more than once.
As a Marine who is trained in TCCC if you have to turn it more than 1.5 times you didnt pull the strap through the loop hard enough. These are windless tourniquets and they fail when improperly used. The one seen here are in Marine corp IFACS they work.
Agree, get real ones! Also, the pre tension is key, shouldn't need more than 1 -1,½ turn. The Tourniquet should be considered a one time use, get an extra if you want to test/train with it. Stay safe.
@@MagicPrepper just kidding, but its a good point you make, everyone needs to practice and you tighten it till you cant feel a pulse, then its on correctly! Like we say, " pain is the patients problem", not to be calous but the medic has to be focused and exceute their job in a calm manner, not get emotional.
@@MagicPrepper Well you did... And you helped Primary Arms mail order division. And my credit card company!!! (me kicking rocks while wearing sad face....)
DO NOT cheap out on life saving equipment. BUT when u apply a tourniquet most of the pressure should be given when u pull the strap tight. The windless shouldn’t require more than 1 or 2 turns. Id love to see if it works better then? But I think even if it does I still just recommend the cat 7
8 turns and a break. 1-2 turns max for occlusion if the slack was removed properly. I agree the Chinese ones are knockoffs, and unfortunately I have a few from before watching this.
People have. Looks to be functional but perhaps not as polished as the NAR CAT. Some small wrinkles in stitching, maybe harder to apply one handed some people say. But they can take the torque to function.
I think the reason why people go for these is that CAT tourniquets are priced ludicrously for what they are. And you can justify it all you want but for a product that has basically no RnD (the concept have been around for 20+ years) and cost basically nothing to produce en mass, they should not cost 30 usd each. If people are opting for a counterfeit Chinese item instead of the original then it’s too expensive. It’s price gouging simple as that.
Go ahead and trust your wife to fake products and justify it all you want like I said, it’s your life if you think it’s worth it to bleed out over 20 bucks be my freaking guest
They are a good deal …. If you bought them to teach with! They’re great for “stop the bleed” classes because if they break, it doesn’t matter. And they’re cheap enough you don’t feel bad using them up. Never ever practice with a tourniquet meant for that worst day
Downside of teaching with these is, people will not recognize a faulty tourniquet when they get to use them in a life or death situation. The fact that it can be twisted this many times (a proper CAT tourniquet is effective at 1 or 1,5 spins) tells us it's crap. In a situation where every second counts, there should be no confusion over the effectiveness of the tourniquet.
In fairness, even some of the legitimate (older) models need to be cycled out of service. I've personally had an (older) CAT III break on me, during a training class. Big honking windlasses, non-negotiable.
@@MagicPrepper In defense of the CAT III... It was repetitively used in classes. It wasn't fresh. That being said, I've got a strong preference for the metal windlass of the Sof-T

Off this topic but I want civilians to realize that if they are bugging in and have their domain protected as good as they can, the Marauders and zombies will eventually be able to overrun and kill you in your house. It can be good for you to guard in your domain but in worst case scenario, please, locate a couple of sniper positions around your domain and guard your domain from that point where you can shoot them as they go in or out trying to steal your supplies. That is your best chance to save your life and still be able to use your supplies. Also, as all artillery soldiers know, shoot and move, shoot and move. Once you fire from one location your chances of being recognized are strong. Move to your next firing point. Your house is a red LZ for zombies and desperate Marauders. They will be making bad decisions trying to go into your storage zone. Kill them from a point outside of that zone. Leave bodies for others to see that was not a good idea to go there. This training that I'm sharing with you is for ultimate extreme scenario. Tough survival for you but with extreme scenarios it may be your only chance to live and still use what you have prepared for for so long. God save your soul
Actually it depends on the manufacture. Most of the cheap ones come from horrible manufacturers however there are quality manufacturers in China that produce high quality reliable tourniquets. It’s extremely ignorant and lazy to label all cheap tourniquets as “Chinese made” when the fault is in the company and manufacturer. Do better and do your research.
The best tourniquets is your t-shirts. It does not need a lot of pressure to constricts your major artery. Overtighten the tourniquet can also cause necrosis on the tissues because it constricts the O2 flows to those parts of the limb. A lot of battlefields amputation because of loss of O2 to the tissues due to prolonged of overtighten tourniquets. The pressure applied must be sufficient to stop the hemorraghe but still let enough oxygen to preserve part of the uninjured tissues. There is a reason you need to write the time tourniquet being applied so doctors or medics knows how long it has been that the tissues below the tourniquet is being deprives of O2. All and all use this saying, “Too tight will died, to loose will burst.”
Great video. I'm saving this to share any time some dude starts whining "don't tell me what to do, I bought these for Ukraine and they were a great deal!"... People keep sending this shit even after being told they're ineffective.
Sort of. Although this one was me literally just practicing putting on a tourniquet and it broke. Kind of like using a dysfunctional magazine for the range but not for protection. I'd rather just not have it and ensure it never gets mixed up.
In the police academy we had to use these for a tq application relay thing we did. They had 22 of them and EVERY SINGLE ONE broke. I used to think they probably were good enough but that really changed my opinion on them.
I still have the tourniquet from my blow out kit issued to me in Baghdad. Picked up some that don’t have the twist feature as backup. Gotta be ready, people.
Damn. I honestly really owe you for this video. I did the same thing, went and bought the Chinese knock off and even tested mine but it didn't fail. I assumed it was okay. I'm very thankful for this video my amazon special is going right in the trash and I have 2 CAT tourniquets on the way.
I heard the first use it doesn’t snap, it’s the second on…but, Magic’s snapped from the get go. Their trash and I bet on purpose too. Glad you got the CAT’s…
@@cbass2755 I was just thinking that! Totally on purpose. Planned obsolescence for military gear made in china. China also makes components in Raytheon and Lockheed missiles. I bet they have a kill switch for it all
Sure, they might be generic, however you’re also using them wrong. (Read other comments from people who appear to have more credentials). Do you want a belt or a cheap tourniquet if you had to choose?
Bear independent! Great products! Its great someone with as many followers as you pit the truth out there. Americans need to manufacture more goods. After this you should worry about anything from china.
maybe I missed you saying of that cat is brand new but once you used it you cant reuse it again thats why maybe it breaks on people arm they try doing these few times even on practicing and they will break
I use the CAT for my primary TQs and self-aid staged for 1 handed use I also incorporate the SWAT-T (stretch, wrap, and tuck) TQs because they are multi use and can be used for compression in various applications as well as a TQ as intended. They serve multiple roles very well
Omg! Horrible! Can you imagine using that, doing everything right only to have that snap like that…Omg…it is catastrophic! The adrenaline going thru you to save a life is incredible, and to have equipment failure thru no fault of your own is devastating!!
North american rescue's tourniquets are also made in china. If you apply it correctly you dont need to put 5 rotations on the windlass. I cant find info on where the tacmed is made but it does appear to be very high quality so ill take that recommendation and buy a few.
I got a cheap one, and definitely returning it. but I did go tight all the way with the velcro strap 1st, and then a two turn with the windlass no problem. But the time strap velcro and velcro that attach to the windlass holder was glued and it was just badly done to were its just peeling off
Thank you so much, for warning us about those... I'm hoping to replace every last individual EVERYTHING, that I have "onboard"; that was "Made in China"... Too much of inferior quality!!!
If you are looking for quality, American made tourniquet options, then I suggest:
North American Rescue C-A-T or
TACMED Solutions SOF Toruniquets

60 billion plus dollars sent over to Ukraine and they couldnt send legit tourniquets? We need the money here!
Omg! Horrible! Can you imagine using that, doing everything right only to have that snap like that…Omg…it is catastrophic! The adrenaline going thru you to save a life is incredible, and to have equipment failure thru no fault of your own is devastating!!

Most people will die with a good TQ also because they won’t have a doctor to take them off,to care for the wound or antibiotics.
I've seen skinny medic use them he was talking about them so how do you know which ones are fake
North american rescue's tourniquets are also made in china. If you apply it correctly you dont need to put 5 rotations on the windlass. I cant find info on where the tacmed is made but it does appear to be very high quality so ill take that recommendation and buy a few.
Your hair is so kick ass looking, in my opinion. Unique grey pattern.
I got a cheap one, and definitely returning it. but I did go tight all the way with the velcro strap 1st, and then a two turn with the windlass no problem. But the time strap velcro and velcro that attach to the windlass holder was glued and it was just badly done to were its just peeling off
Bro rizzed me up with that pose at the beginning there. 🥵
Thank you so much, for warning us about those... I'm hoping to replace every last individual EVERYTHING, that I have "onboard"; that was "Made in China"... Too much of inferior quality!!!

I'm wondering if they can be rendered safe. Maybe through extra stitching or something
Same with the RATs, not a good deal
Happy I watched this 😮
How many times do they recommend that you turn them after pulling the strap tight?
imagine buying anything except computers from china
