There are a lot of great tourniquets on the market but their size can make them awkward or difficult to carry, especially in a daily or concealed fashion directly on your person.
The Everyday Carry Tourniquet (ETQ™) is compact, roughly the size of a small multi-tool, and fits comfortably into your pocket making it easy to have on you at all times.
Another version, The Everyday Carry Tourniquet - Wide (ETQ-W™) is only half an inch wider than the standard ETQ so it’s still compact, and around 35% smaller than the industry standard TQ.
The SnakeStaff EDC Tourniquet is a versatile and reliable solution for emergency situations. Its non-water-absorbent design makes it ideal for maritime operations, while its compact size allows for discreet carry.
The non-slip rigid windlass and wire gate lock ensure secure application, and the easy-to-read directions make it suitable for use under stress. Made with Mil-Spec 4088 webbing and UV-rated polymer, it's durable and compatible with both K9s and children.
Features:
Carabiner windlass lock: Windlasses that are bumped and unwind in transport have proven deadly. Our patent pending locking carabiner gate holds the windlass securely in place.
Textured Windlass: If you’re using a TQ, there will be slippery blood . . . a lot of it. Our textured windlass helps you get a grip in a life and death situation.
Chemlight: The included chemlight breaks upon application so first responders can see where TQ is applied at night.
Instructions: Simplified instructions are printed right on the TQ for those that don’t have medical experience or are in shock. A scannable QR code takes you to a step-by-step video tutorial. Watch here.
Heavy-duty construction: Our product is manufactured in the U.S.A. with the utmost quality materials, making it durable and long lasting. In addition to our exhaustive testing in extreme conditions, we ran over the ETQ with a 6,500 pound dually and then immediately applied it and it still performed perfectly!

Water repellent: Unlike other TQ’s, the ETQ™ absorbs a minimal amount of water or sweat.
Specs:
Folded Size: Comparable to a G19 magazine. It fits in handgun mag pouches and kydex carriers.
Note on TQ width: The ETQ™ measures 37.5” long by 1” wide (The ETQ Wide is 1.5"). Many people believe the gold standard TQ is wider than it actually is. However, if you closely examine one, you’ll see that it’s only a 1” piece of webbing doing the constricting. Try it for yourself. Constrict your TQ across a foam roller and leave it for 30 minutes. Come back and measure the imprints. You’ll notice the width only measures 1”. A 1” functional width gets the job done and has been trusted for years.
If you’d still prefer a wider tourniquet, you can purchase our ETQ WIDE™
