Survival Hax Tactical LED pen

This tactical pen by Survival is a handy item to have in your EDC (every day carry). It is sturdy and well-made, without being heavy or cumbersome. We have a couple other tactical pens in our household but this one stands out, and for a good reason. It has an LED light on one end! Honestly I didn't expect a whole lot of such a tiny light, but it is surprisingly bright and effective. While it would be great for uses such as illuminating a lock on a door or a car, I must admit I have been using it for unexpected reasons. Who figured my tactical pen would help me figure out what stitch I was on while crocheting with black yarn? A fiber arts disaster was diverted when I activated the light with a small twist. There is of course a glass breaker on the pen. Unlike our other tac pens, I wasn't sure how I would feel about the placement of the glass breaker since it is actually part of the pen cap. As I have used it though, I have grown used to it. It is a bit awkward at first, since you can either twist the cap onto the top of the pen (where the LED light is located), or you can simply leave it off while you are writing. I choose the latter, since I have issues with my hands; putting the cap on the end makes the pen quite tall and a bit ridiculous looking, but who cares about looks with a tool that's meant for potentially life-saving purposes like breaking glass? The pen itself writes beautifully, satisfying even my pen-snob requirements. (Is there a term for people who adore and are addicted to pens? Maybe it's just an English teacher thing.) It is smooth and flows perfectly. The clip is toward the top of the pen, not on the cap. I securely clip the pen to my pants without worry. I was provided this tactical pen at discount for testing purposes. https://www.amazon.com/Tactical-LED-Pen-Glassbreaker-Starter/dp/B06XK4N55V/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1493702079&sr=8-7&keywords=Tactical+LED+Pen+4+in #survivalhax
