I love this money clip. Its strong and durable and has a jeep grill on the back side. Use it to hold an id and credit card when on the trails and want to travel light. (Cards and money stay in place)

Got it from KickStarter and now become my daily writing instrument. great built quality for writing and as survival tools. Aluminium Black with MG-Core fire starter (just in case i needed to start a fire, although unlikely since i can use the lighter, but hey it's still cool)

Except no imitations, this is the coolest and most badass pen ever! The bolt action is smooth and well engineered and the wistle works well. I haven’t tried out the glass breaker but it looks like it would certainly get the job done. The pen itself writes really smooth and has a nice weight to it and feels really solid in your hand. I bought myself two and now am going to get more for birthdays and xmas gifts this year. My kids kept “borrowing” mine, so I got them their own too. Great product at a great price!

Love the pen, it's lightweight with a solid feel. I haven't tried the glass breaker yet, but the whistle works well. Bolt action is smooth, and fun to play with. I carry in my pocket with no leaks, use the pen for sketching and daily use.. and the ink works well, which is a nice bonus. I would recommend to other designers for sketching if you like the feel of a larger barrel pen.

I like the unibody design and the bolt action is extremly smooth and fun to play with. It comes with a built in whistle which i treied and loved. I tested the glass breaker and it is hard enough to scratch glass. I got the kurled black aluminum version and it feels great to write with. I would reccomend to anyone looking for a high quality pen.

The GP 1945 pen has a solid mechanical feel and minimalist design that appeals to the engineer in me, but I can see it being appreciated by anyone who enjoy well-built products that give you tactile enjoyment. The weight of it feels nice in your hand, and the bolt-action actuator is a pleasure to flick back and forth. The extra features like the whistle and window-breaker adds to the interest, evidenced by the reaction I got from my teenage kids. Oh, and the pen itself is very nice too - smooth and easy to write with. I received one as a gift and then bought one to give to a friend. Sure, you may not normally buy a pen for this price, but it's not just any other pen - it's a well-crafted object to enjoy spending time with.

Exceeded my expectations. It’s now part of my EDC. I’m very happy with it.

This is a very well made pen. I’ve been carrying it for about 2 weeks now and I really like it. Other tactical pens try and cram way to many features into a design, but this one really hits a good balance. It does everything they say that it does. I work construction, so anything I carry every day lives a hard life! So far there isn’t a scratch on the thing, looks brand new! If you’re looking for quality in a sleek design then this is the pen for you.

This is an awesome pen that I always carry in my car now. There's always a need for a reliable pen in your car, and this one can break a window in case you're trapped. Also, the whistle is nice to have just in case. The action is really fun to fidget with and the construction is strong enough to where I don't believe it'll ever break under normal use.

I have been using the GPCA wallet for two years. I was a little skeptical originally about the all metal construction for a wallet. My skepticism was mostly centered around how many cards it can hold given it\'s low and un-expandable volume. After two years of daily use, I found the silicone band could easily hold 6 cards stacked on one side without any issues. There\'s a display card on the other side for an ID. So I have a total of 7 cards, more than enough as an EDC item. The silicone band hasn\'t shown any wear and tear yet. It still holds the cards snug. I was also surprised to find how useful the lanyard clip is. I could clip in my house keys and clip to my belt loop or any other bags and accessories. It\'s convenient all around.

FAQ

What is the GPCA™ Carabiner X GRIP?

An oversized 5-inch carabiner with a Dual-Zone gate: one zone to clip in, one to grip. It works as a heavy-duty carry handle or a dog leash handle. It has a bottle opener and the Secret Capsule, in 420 stainless steel or Grade 5 titanium.

X GRIP, PRO X KEY, PRO or LITE: which one?

X GRIP: oversized 5" frame with a Grip Zone, bottle opener, no blade or drivers. PRO X KEY: the flagship, with box cutter, drivers, ruler and an integrated key module for up to 3 keys. PRO: box cutter, Phillips and flathead drivers and a pry edge. LITE: unibody 420 steel with a box cutter, bottle opener and pry edge. The PRO, PRO X KEY and LITE are about 4.13" × 2.1" × 0.6".

Can I use it as a dog leash handle?

Yes. Clip the GPCA Dog Leash to the Grip Zone, then clip the X GRIP to your belt, a post or a tree for hands-free tethering. It is the only GPCA carabiner with a dedicated Grip Zone, which makes it comfortable to hold as a handle.

How much weight is it rated for?

200 lb static load (steel and titanium), enough to restrain large breeds during normal walking and tethering. It is an everyday-carry tool, not rated for climbing, rappelling, fall arrest or extreme force.

What materials and finishes are available?

420 stainless steel, polished with a light brush on both sides, or Grade 5 titanium with a matte finish that is impervious to salt and sweat corrosion.

How much does it weigh?

About 5.1 oz (145 g) in 420 stainless steel and about 2.5 oz (71 g) in Grade 5 titanium.

What tools does it have?

A bottle opener and the Secret Capsule in the gate. It has no box cutter and no screwdrivers: it is grip-focused.

Is it TSA-compliant?

Yes. The X GRIP has no blade module, so it is TSA-ready out of the box for U.S. carry-on. Other countries have different rules.

What is the Secret Capsule?

A hidden compartment inside the barrel of the screw gate. Unscrew the knurled locking ring all the way up (past the unlock point) to reveal it. It fits a small flint, a rolled bill or emergency medication.

Can I add a key module or a Red Ring?

The Red Ring fits the X GRIP (Red Ring editions include both rings). The Carabiner Key Module Addon does not fit the X GRIP; it is for the LITE, PRO and PRO X.

What warranty does it have?

Lifetime warranty.
