Question about the Quantum Eye II passive carbon monoxide disposal spot monitor.

Answer: The less expensive spot monitors show only safe (yellow) and dangerous (dark) carbon monoxide conditions. As a former private pilot, I had one of the single yellow spot monitors stuck to the instrument panel. I did not know there was any other kind. When the spot turned dark, you'd best have an airfield in sight. Carbon monoxide effects one's ability to think straight. I heard a story from an FBO (Fixed Base Operator) in Minnesota about an experienced pilot whose muffler was leaking CO into the cockpit and needed help from the FBO to find the field and land the plane. He was lucky he didn't pass out first!

The Quantum Eye II has three colors, yellow for safe, green for caution or ventilate and dark blue for evacuate. Once out of the carbon monoxide, the sensor will regenerate. Sensor life is about 18 months. Obviously, this is not for the color blind pilot.

We also sell these to forklift drivers in warehouses, truck drivers and home owners who want an extra safety device say on their refrigerator.

A better choice are the 9Volt RV or Marine units. Unfortunately, at this time, Costar/Quantum is manufacturing only 12V units. The standard home 9Volt battery units are not made for high temperatures or high humidity. There are 12V RV units available. However, for aviation use, you need to get an FAA approval to mount permanently any non-aviation approved device in an airplane.

Thanks for your question. Fly safely.

Sincerely, Barbara

On-line reviews are quite positive. Our sales reflect these positive reviews. We recommend that your sister check with her physician. If her physician agrees, then definitely buy some for her. Chemo and radiation for cancer extend over weeks so we recommend you purchase a case of twelve 16 oz. bottles.  We also sell Case of 8 ounce bottles and single bottles in the 12 oz. size.

Question about the Breakout Safety Tool Super Value BK-350

Answer: The BreakOut escape tools come in several models. All are black. Some have LED lights. All can easily slip over your sun visor for easy access in the event of an auto accident or, in the case of the LED units, when you need a map or emergency light. Regardless of the model, each units has two seat belt cutter blades and a two headed unit for glass breaking.

Only the BreakOut, some models, has an LED light.  The LifeHammer should be permanently mounted in your vehicle within easy reach of the driver and front seat passenger. It is similar to the BreakOut tool as breaking the window requires the user to strike the window with some force using one of the two breaker heads. The Res-Q-Me goes where you go as it fits on your keychain. The Res-Q-Me has a spring loaded head with a force of 12 lbs or less to break out a window.. The BreakOut can be clipped onto either or both of the sun visors on a car, truck or RV.

The BreakOut is Made in USA, the Res-Q-Me is Made in USA and the LifeHammer is Made in the Netherlands.

BreakOut Models Include:

• Breakout Safety Tool Standard BK-101 which has 2 stainless steel blades for cutting seat belts, 2 stainless steel breaker points for emergency entry or exit, sun visor clips for fast and easy acquisition and has a totally ambidextrous internal finger grasp for maximum impact.
• Breakout Safety Tool Standard BK-202. This unit also has two rare earth magnets so it can be attached to metal rather than just over a visor.
• Breakout Safety Tool Standard BK-303 All the features except the magnets plus 1 LED light.
• Breakout Safety Tool Super Value BK-350 which has the two magnets plus 1 LED light.
• Breakout Safety Tool Standard BK-404 No Magnets, Has 3 LED lights.
• Breakout Safety Tool Deluxe BK-505 2 Magnets, 3 LEDs

So all are black, can slide over the sun visor, have two stainless steel cutting blades for seat belts, two stainless steel breaker points for entry or exit and a hand grip that works for right or left handed persons.

We recommend the units with magnets and LED's for those who do more rural travel where lights may be needed to change a tire, etc.

These units also can be personalized for giveaways with quantity pricing available.

Thanks you for your question.

Sincerely, Barbara
