Seems to be that they will work for their intended purposes. The little push that it came in the button broke almost Immediately. I'll test it all out and be back later with another reviewThanks

This product is something that I hope I never need to use but is good to know I have tools if I need them. In a survival situation the last thing you want to do is have to craft your own tools. This product saves you time and energy and gives you peace of mind. I keep a couple cards in all of my bags and gear. They're so light and small that I don't notice them. They are exactly what they say they are.

I think these are neat. I carry one in my wallet at all times with fishing line wrapped around it. Some of the tools are gimmicky and useless but for the price it does come with some useful tools. you can pick your favorites and give the others as gifts. Haven’t had a fish on one of these hooks yet but I think they’ll hold up to smaller fish. Some people I have these to had trouble fitting them into their wallet, some cards are larger than others. But for bags, cars, ATVs etc these are a compact way to carry some hooks and other goodies.

These are very small and easy to pack. A specifically got them for that reason for a disaster preparedness bag. I can't attest to have it used anything off of these and hope I never have to but it seems to have some of the necessities for survival if ever needed. For the money it cost almost nothing for an added sense of preparedness.

Tge saws are usless unless your trying to cut half inch sticks. Using a knife works better honestly. The spear heads and Sewing needles, fish Hooks are nice to have. The metal they use is proper hardened steel and won't bend easily.Great selection to have still. Would recommend for the cheap price.

I've had a few different survival cards over the years, which I've been slowly putting to the test myself in various situations. This particular set was a nice find because it offers 2 complete sets, so I can test one and save the second for a survival situation (provided the test set works).Out of the gate, I like that these pieces are 304 stainless steel, whereas some cards from different companies can cost $10+ for a single card and are made of 301 stainless. For reference, 304SS is slightly better for corrosion resistance, but is on average able to take less stress (120psi vs 90psi). For most of these parts, you shouldn't experience that kind of stress, so the corrosion resistance is the seller between the 2 steel types.Something to note, do not expect to stuff these in your wallet. Unlike some cards, they are not sized for that sort of storage, and it's not a great place to keep them anyway. I carried a different card in my wallet for years and pretty quickly some of the pieces came bending off in a way I worried about them sticking out of my wallet and into my butt, namely the hooks. Just don't do it. It would also be nice if there was a part guide for those who aren't sure what they're looking at. To that end, I've added pictures with (handwritten) labels to everything I know for everyone else to use.As far as removing pieces from the cards, that's easy. Just bend a few times and they pop out. The knives and arrowheads aren't sharpened, as you'd expect, but the points are pretty fine, so piercing things isn't an issue. Just don't plan on whittling with the knives unless you bring a sharpening rod. Hooks come in various sizes, which will be good for different fish, and the needles seem to be alright for the most part. For the same reason as the knives, I wouldn't expect great things out of the saws, but they'd be better than nothing in a pinch. I've seen videos where they work, but the energy used to cut a branch is pretty high, and they can be unwieldy. The tweezers...don't bother. The fork is...well, it's a fork, woo!At the end of the day, if you get stuck somewhere and you have no gear aside from these cards, you'd be in better shape than without them. The reality is if you have a good knife and the skills/know-how to use it to make other tools, you're on the right path. These tools, especially the fishing gear, will make life a bit easier. Just don't plan on relying on these cards in place of real quality hooks, needles, knives, and arrows. They're meant to be a last resort, and function as such, not as core equipment.

I purchased these as an alternative to the high-priced versions they imitate, of which I don't have a set to compare. Just from their looks, I think they would be somewhat useful in an emergency or survival scenario because they certainly don't take up a lot of space (they fit in your wallet) or weight, but there are 2 main drawbacks that I see:- The steel is rather thin, making the individual tools rather easy to bend, which would limit their usefulness. However, I do realize that using a heavier gauge of steel would make them considerably heavier and nobody wants a 2 lb. wallet.- They are not sharpened. I understand the problem the manufacturer would have in detaching the tools to sharpen them, and then reattach them to the card but when you are in a survival situation is the worst time to try to sharpen a dull knife, hook, etc. I have seen some of the more expensive versions of these cards where they actually remove at least the knife and arrowheads, sharpen them, then stick the whole card on a magnetic sheet (like the fridge magnet sheets) and I think that would be a huge improvement without adding too much bilk or cost.Honestly, I like them, but I am on the fence regarding their usefulness in a real emergency or survival scenario.Update from November 2022: I may have an improvement figured out for the two issues that I and several other people have found with these cards, provided you take into account that they are not for frequent use - only for emergency or survival.For the sharpening issue, I have taken off the parts which require sharpening (knife, arrowhead, hook, for example) and sharpened them properly, then taped them to a piece of scotch tape only on one side (leves no residue when pulled off) and vacuum sealed the whole thing. Finally I trim the edges fairly close.This doesn't improve the other issue which is their thinness, but I believe you are less likely to bend them if they are sharp, than if you have to be forcing them to cut or hammering on them.Hope you find this useful. If you just add in the case a small plastic baggie with some fishing line (spectra) and sinkers, plus a small firesteel and some wetfire or similar tinder and a couple of vacuum sealed mylar blankets - now you're talking about a compact and useful little kit for not a lot of money.

Kit has many useful survival items which is nice, however did not come with a thin magnetic sheet to hold after removal which would make this that much more practical. Once removed from cutout very likely to loose as case will not prevent slide out of small hooks. Otherwise it is a good thing to add to your kit

This set is very cool even if i see it as a last resort kind of thing because of it's single use ideology. It's a bunch of cutouts so don't expect to have any cutting edge you'll have to make your own grind which isn't very complicated but should be mentioned. The pouch is nice and sturdy and everything is well made overall. keep in mind you'll need some way to sharpen your tools and you'll be just fine
