Z1 NASA Escape Tool on eBay

What I meant was.... remember the astronaut that drove cross country in a diaper to kidnap another astronaut? NASA's response to 'What do you do if an astronaut loses it in space?' 'Tape them up with Duct Tape.'

Posted by a space geek.

Seems to go along with the sci-fi goffiness of this site.

Just wondering, are the 'NASA Escape Tools' intended for getting out of the Duct Tape?

Ha! I was wondering when we would revive this thread (although it wasn't quite dead yet.).

I wanted to mention I had just purchased those EXACT SAME shears at my LDS yesterday

The funniest part.. You can actually see in his pics where he had ripped off the little 'Scuba Max' sticker. Someone should tell them to stick that thing on there a bit better.

And yes they are made in China. :shocked2:

Oooh, a fast knife? I need one of those for when I'm battling evil henchmen underwater.

Edit: Oh, I just checked the auction and it's only for the DiveRite harness. Nuts.

As an aside, note all the Voit/SwimMaster gear, Bond's backpack, the tanks, the masks, Bond's regulator, badguy's fins.

But I'm sure he's using his trusty Eagle Z1 Knife!

I suspect that it's a Voit knife, given the other product placements. But Eagle Z1 would be glad to Photoshop it into their own.
