Unfortunately, its too big to fit on my belt amongst my ever growing set of belt accessories, but still, it looks fun.

Perhaps over my shoulder, then.

My belt really is getting a bit crowded. So far it has 2 phones, a knife (for work), torch, keychain, and a watch/penlight.

And am I the only one who thought that powered grappling hooks were, well, already invented and in regular use by dark ops type people?

Mine has a knife, a watch, and something heavy and black made of metal that can go bang about seventeen times.

No, I had always imagined them using something like this during normal operations.

Yeah, I find the computers work much better if I unpack them with a knife rather then shooting the box lid open :)

I always figured they were real, just not used that often. Odd.

I thought they had been invented already, too.
