Turboflame Original GX7, is essential for any outdoor enthusiast’s survival kit. It has a heavy duty metal alloy body with rubberised finish.

It's jet-like precision flame reaches temperatures of up to 1300c and has a continuous flame lock that makes it a handy pocket blow-torch which can withstand up to 10 minutes of continuous use. The very large gas reservoir allows this lighter to carry enough fuel for up to 850 short ignitions or total burn time of 17 minutes (maximum allowable continuous burn time 10 minutes).  

The rubber safety cap detaches from the lighter body to avoid cap overheating during continuous flame use. When using the continuous flame lock you can hold the lighter in one hand and reach tight spots such as gas pilot lights and lanterns.

Turboflame ‘clean burn’ technology means it can also melt synthetic material without depositing black carbon, so outdoor equipment can be quick fixed without discolouration. Outdoor enthusiasts include Turboflame in their emergency kits to melt p-tex, seal micro - cracks in boards and canoes, cut and seal PARA rope and blast rust from metal. Turboflame work up to 3000 M (10,000 ft) altitude and don’t ‘self-combust’ at high altitudes.

D-Splicer Soft Fid - Strong and easy to use splcing fid for ropes.

When rope splicing it can be very difficult to pull through a rope. Even a D-Splicer pulling fid will not always do the job as more strength needs to be applied and/or there is not enough space. 

A Softfid is another great innovation by D-Splicer - simple and effective! You just pull through the thin Dyneema rope and then clamp the rope into the white cover. By pulling the Softfid, the cover will tighten itself around the rope.

Available in three sizes:

• S4 - Small 4-8mm 
• S8 - Medium 8-12mm
• S12 - Large 12-18mm
