Rhino Rescue (North American Rescue CAT style) tourniquet test. UNBELIEVABLE alternative

Quick video testing the much more affordable and strong AF North American Rescue CAT tourniquet knockoff by Rhino Rescue.
I’ve heard people say all kinds of horrible things about any brand tourniquet other than NAR....but they are $30/ea.
These are less than a quarter of that and seem to be just as strong, if not stronger.

That stool had no pulse after half-turn, that's impressive! =)

[@gusjeazer]

I've tried one or two of those, they worked. Felt very similar to CAT TQ's and SAM TQ's I was trained on. I am very impressed by their products

[@jesseharper7172]

I’ve been a medic for 17 years, and I teach quite a bit and teach people the same thing. Don’t buy CAT knock offs. However, that’s not the same thing as buying different models. And while similar to a cat, the rhino seems to be something different.

[@gusjeazer]

Yes, they are a real company, they supply medical gear to certain countries in the Chinese sphere of influence if I'm not mistaken.

[@RockSpiders]

Well is the rhino any good?

[@dragonsofthunder]

Right!!!??? ​@@RockSpiders

[@Nuka445]

@@dragonsofthunderyes, rhino rescue has the same quality as North American rescue and they are a credited company.

[@jameslooker4791]

They sell a version with an aluminum windless for about the same price too.

[@jims512]

Glad to find a test video on an object comparable my arms.

[@caineespinoza160]

I'm glad to see they are pretty strong. I work with alot of different saws and stuff like that in my line of work plus I EDC so my wife got me the 4 pack to keep in the truck and my work trailer. This makes me feel a little more confident that they will do what they were intended for if I ever need one.

[@gusjeazer]

I tested 2, worked well.

[@Gearedfilm57]

Thanks I've been wondering about them for about 6 months now and just never pulled the trigger on it

[@elrondmcbong467]

Ok that's great. Probably not certified and thus nothing for officials but still a great alternative for everyone without a 700 billion budget. Would be worth to buy a bunch of them to test, if the quality is consistent.

[@aesthetic8780]

What? They are obviously certified. Do you even know anything about rhino rescue? The name is not a coincidence. It's a very big company in Asia and Europe. Everything, even the little bandages are certified.

[@gratefuldylan8222]

I ordered their aluminum one and they sent me this one, a couple chest seals and a pouch to carry it instead. I didn't bother getting my order fixed but I'm glad to see this one work so well. I didn't want to test it out and possibly damage it before I really needed it as reusing it can increase the chance of it braking. I'd still rather have bought one from USA then China though as I had no idea this was a chinese company till I got an email from them in chinese after I ordered. Just glad this one works well.

[@gusjeazer]

I've also tested 2 of them, they were able to stop blood flow easily and weren't deformed or damaged (still be careful reusing TQ's you have used). Felt similar to known brand TQ's.

[@BillyBob-bd1hj]

But, it hasn't been blessed by the magical elves working at the NAR factory.

[@ethanslifka3904]

I love this XD

[@RockSpiders]

They haven't payed the NAR toll to the gatekeeper trolls!😂😂😂

[@p9tty]

great video, straight forward and to the point!

[@RockSpiders]

What alot of peolpe don't get is North American TQs are insanely expensive And yes it's lifesaving equipment, but it's expensive to the point that if I have to buy one I cannot afford it (I'm not from the US and the exchange rate makes this INSANELY expensive) People saying "Don't buy anythinh that isn't from **insert brand here**, because anything else will get you killed" are the same kind of people who would tell you that any AR that is not a Daniel Defense isn't any good and will get you killed. Thanks for the test. Was good to see what this TQ is capable of

[@jims512]

@RockSpiders Correct. I see where the caution comes from ultimately it’s a value judgement that you have to individually make

[@Flyerwithoutwings-lw8jl]

If u want to mix an AR which supposed to fire rounds accurately and without malfunctions with a tourniquet which supposed to stop artery bleeding then u r not persuasive enough for me

[@Flyerwithoutwings-lw8jl]

And most of dudes who don’t recommend people to buy knockoffs never said knockoffs would get them killed 100%, they just don’t want to take their chance on that just to save 20 dollars

[@sectech221]

I use these and have 0 complaints. I’ve also tried to break them with no success. However, I agree with the instructors when it comes to cheap Chinese knockoffs. Those will get you killed. Great video man!

[@beararmstactical7343]

thanks dude!!

[@SurvivalCheck101]

I've tested the Amazon knock off so they say & the Temu ones and they actually work. Of course I tested them on myself not wood but we are a humans & extremely soft to the touch! They are not meant for wood.

[@kevinc9416]

More testing please!!!!

[@Devildogbaran]

You proved exactly why I dont use anything else but NAR at the 50 second mark.

[@JohnSmith-ww8cs]

Lol. He fed the buckle wrong. The tq is fine.

[@ZakCiotti]

I could see the f-word coming. lol Thanks for sacrificing yourself for the review!

[@carlvonfuckwits2934]

Thats NAR shilling though.

[@B_r_u_c_e]

Thank you.

[@teddygramsgg4780]

The grizzly hills supply tqs are a better choice if you’re looking for an alternative

[@domxem5551]

Do you feel as if you failed because you could not break it? 😅

[@Thatcoolwhiteguy]

Looks like it works 😂

[@wcresponder]

The other company's that are legit should send cease and desist letters to that trauma class provider... If they choose to continue spouting lies ...when scorch earth policy in court on them. CAT is not the best.

[@mycatsballs8195]

Yea no. Better pay 30$ than lose a life

[@lamonticus583]

Based on what?

[@thedude828]

​@@lamonticus583 right they seem like they can hold up and do the job plus for 35$ you get 4 instead of 1 I just ordered some I have cat gen 7s too but for the price you can't beat it

[@gusjeazer]

Everyone to his own. I've tested 2 of these and they felt very similar to CAT and SAM. If anything, they felt sturdier than a CAT TQ. You get at least 4 for the price of one other TQ. They also sell IFAKs with other stuff. They are legit.

[@RockSpiders]

NAR has an army contract if I'm not mistaken so buying one means you're going to be paying government prices. Just a fact of life. Doesn't mean that they make the only product that works

[@jessiejames5762]

Nothing wrong with the Rhino TQ. This guy is a (*&E# and this test is ok at best. He should have applied it more towards the corner of the bench so he could really wrench it, seems like this "test" was to see if the windlass would break. There is more to testing a TQ than this, he also failed to pull up on the windlass before starting to apply turns. Looks like he is just a youtube commando throwing useless info on to get followers and/or views. There is equipment to test TQ's, same stuff that can be used for training also...not a bench from the breakfast table.

[@ronaldhitchcock4356]

You will never know the capabilities with you doing it to a stool. Unless you're trying to torture test it. There is zero give unlike human limbs, but from what I'm seeing this is holding up just fine. Unlike the Chinese ones from Amazon lol.
