Hi EDC people, these beads are popular in different communities and look very cool; I have a couple. My only suggestion to consider is that the replaceable 3 x 23mm vial in green is a great standard in case you want to change colors. Also, the TEC Accessories Triple that had been on Massdrop before, when equipped with green vials from a good source (I get mine from the UK), results in a pretty conspicuous marker, which is what I am going for. Frequently, I put multiple bags under an airline seat in front of me or in a seat pocket and a brighter indicator reminds you to "take me alaong."
I designed and make the technical entry ti beads. I am very happy they are voted the best, thanks! I am however not surprised. There is an incredible amount of know how and work that goes into making them. I would be very happy to do a massdrop. It is preferable for me to make and ship 1000 pieces in one go. I am a busy guy with a few projects but I love designing and making things and the process around that. The bead is tried and tested. I want to make a robot to put them together. Organise a mass buy and I will do it. I will make a video and show the process. Anodising is also no problem. Choose your colour... Where from here? Cheers, St.john Goldfingle - Fein Mekanik.
having personally bought from this craftsman his beads are top notch. H3(tritium) comes in 9 colors, green(brightest), deep blue(also bright), light blue, pink, purple, red, orange, yellow, white. Personally, I use them on knife lanyards, necklaces, wallet lanyard, keys, flashlights, my kids backpack has one! I have a gunsafe and a few bags have colored beads so if the lights go out I can reach in and know exactly which gobag I'm getting. If your wearing a vest some green tritium on your back might mean you don't get shot by mistake.
i voted for the "apocalypse" (what appears to be) hex sided 6 rod beads..... unfortunately all these links are dead... have very limited information. for a tactical sense i am interested as using as a more permanent tool for emergency systematic entry... colors can be a great indicator for room clearing among other things....
a couple questions though....
can we order 6 sided solid color beads?
what colors are available?
how much?
