My EDC kits have arrived and I would like to provide some feedback for future drops. The mini pry bar and tweezers are quite nice. The whistle takes a little bit of practice to get a reasonable tone at first. The problem is the split ring. The whistle can not attach to the ring provided so the photograph is misleading. The diameter is spec'ed as 0.98 inches (25 mm) but the ring received is 27 mm inner diameter and 32 mm outer. It is also too thick for the whistle lanyard hole. I may be wrong be it looks like a steel ring. I got three rings and they are all off spec.
SkyRhoThanks for the feedback, I'll pass it along to the vendor and make sure the split rings get squared away for the next drop. If you are unsatisfied please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team SkyRho.

You can expect an update from us by the end of the day Pacific Time on 9/1 .
If it falls out, when you don't need it and when you see it... Then you might be able to glue it back in. Since Countycomm are great folks, why didn't they glue it in?
FearlessleaderAgreed, they should have a better quality control over this if it does fall out. I guess that's the price you pay, for the price you pay (if that makes sense).
pyratYes, there is a plastic insert in the end of it. Some have claimed it falls out, but if it does, it should be no problem to put a couple of drops of super glue on it and put it back in. I have not received mine yet, (ordered from a drop just finished), so I have no "hands-on" experience with it yet.
franknessIt's over 100 decibels. To Compare; the Ultimate Survival Jet Whistle is 122db, and the Storm all weather Whistle (which claims it is the loudest in the world) is 133db. This is apparently on the verge of human tolerance.
