Key Review: “On a father/son fishing trip, my line got caught up in the propeller. Of course, it happened in the deepest water, furthest from the dock. When the wrenches that came with the propeller fell into the water, your tool was all we had left to do the job.
The screwdriver and pliers soon had the propeller off, cleaned, and replaced.
Thanks to your tool, our trip was safe and successful.

My son Nathan showed me his mechanical skills in his repair work, and we had fun catching and releasing some fine-looking fish on a beautiful day. The tool’s knife was very sharp and effective in trimming the line, helping to keep it weed-free and snag-free. Thank you for a superior, effective tool.” By James C., Retiree

Key Review: “I bought a second one! I took it camping with my dad, and he mentioned how nice it was, so I got him one as well. I would highly recommend it —they even have a bigger size now for all thirsty folks.

I’m pleased with my new Larq bottle! I love the sleek, simple design; it looks great in all black. I washed it upon receiving it and tested it out by leaving water in it through the weekend and letting it clean itself this morning. It had no smell or metallic taste like every other water bottle I’ve used.

The insulation works well. I will be taking it with me when I go on backpacking trips, now I will easily be able to get cold water from a lake and use the UV cleaning to drink it immediately. I love that I have a cleaning system and water bottle all in one, no more boiling or bringing multiple parts to have clean water!” By Sarah Dec
