The isotope is very weak and you’d have to break the vial inside of your lungs for it to have any effect on you, the glass stops almost all of the decay and whatever isn’t caught by that is stopped by the air outside of it. Plus, the case is strong enough that you’d have a hard time breaking it.
@ Michael Warren. You are 100% correct. The only time tritium in this use poses a health risk is if the vial breaks. Also, this thing is so small I don't see you breaking a car window with it. Just a dumb design choice. A reviewer on their website says he broke the tube in his just dropping his keys 3 feet to the floor.
You can replace the vial when the time comes, the top screws off. I own two of these. I should also add that do at your own risk I'm not responsible if you break your trit tube.
Love my glow rhino glow fob..far better quality than the tec accessories fob which I've owned for years. Plus it's a motown company, what's cooler than that?
Yea definitely a really cool product. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on tec accessories, i see they are one of the only other tritium keychain sellers on Amazon.
Hey I made a new channel dedicated to EDC clips a few days ago it would be great to have your feedback on that channel as well... Going to be sharing a lot of new EDC stuff there in the coming weeks! bit.ly/SubscribetoEDCClips
Hey! Would this be safe to wear as a pendant on a necklace (24/7)?? It wouldnt affect my body/skin/health in any way right? I dont think it gives off enough radiation but I could use more opinions.
I just watched a video and trituim emits 0.0008 of radiation (i could be wrong on the number but it emits very very little) which couldnt harm you in anyway so yes safe too wear
Very cool but seems to be lacking on practical application. If having problems finding my keys, low light levels don’t usually have anything to do with it. Now if this actually produced enough light to allow you to faintly see items at say 2ft, I’d feel it has some practical application. Pitch black fumbling with keys in the rain to unlock a deadbolt that you know is there but just can’t hit easily with a key... that’s $40 investment that’s functionally practical. Right now, this gets put on my future gift list for my spoiled nephew. I’m past “cool” for the sake of “cool”.
Tritium is very practical when you need something to glow that doesnt normally get exposed to enough light to charge up, such as a zipper pull on the inside of a bag.
It does produce enough light to easily see items at 2 feet or even 20 feet. I can easily see my keys hanging on the key hook across the living room 20 feet away.
@@N3wbMa5t3r - thanks for feedback. Will it illuminate an object that is 5 feet away from you? Will it provide enough light to see the keyhole in pitch black? If yes, than there is some level of practical value besides being a glow in the dark zipper pull or key “finder”.
$40 bucks a piece is pretty steep. Maybe tritium is very expense? I'd buy 3 of these if the price was lower. Just out of curiosity I would like to see a demonstration of glass breaking with something this small. Good quick video, nice job.
Yeah The tritium definitely is the reason why it's so expensive. This is another option you might consider that's a little cheaper but it doesn't have a glass breaker tip - amzn.to/2YkjELT
@@UrbanSurvivor Thanks for the follow up. I just checked the link you provided. That is less expensive but I want the tritium that never needs to be charged and lasts for years. The Rhino looks like a well made product. I'm not sure how big an issue this would be but the glass breaker tip would prevent the fob from being able to be set upright on a flat surface allowing the fob to function as a mini lantern. Keep up the good work, I'm now Subscribed.
@@JAMaxeRestoration Theres a photo at 0:26 showing it standing on its tail. Should be fine as long as you dont bump it lol. Glad to have you onboard as a sub thanks a lot.
Yes, it wouldn’t hurt you though the container. But if it breaks, if your breathing it in in a closed bathroom with no ventilation then maybe it could cause a problem. But 99% of the time, you’d be okay
Love tritium fobs. Love the look of this one. Love the price.
But I'd never, EVER use an encapsulated vial of radioactive gas as a glass breaker 😝

@@ratgamer4778 that’s not true, it can raise your risk for cancer if it breaks close to you in an enclosed unventilated space
@@christianmccauley7340 you gotta admit you kinda gotta try for it to have any effect
@@christianmccauley7340 it would dissipate into the surrounding air. It can’t even penetrate dead skin matter on your body.

Neat. Not quite wish list, more dream list. Thank you for showing it to us. Stay safe and stay warm
Haha yes this is definitely a pricy item but cool nonetheless. Thanks for watching.
Thanks US! That is a very interesting Tritium Fob! Pricy for a FOB but cool, indeed!
Hey thanks for watching Greg! It's a bit on the pricy side but that's typically what tritium goes for. Pretty cool though!
Would like to see the glass breaker in action as it’s such a short length to punch in to a window.

How big tritium vial is fit into it?
@@gergoonodi7437 I think it's 3x22.5mm
Correction: 3mmx15mm I encountered some stubborn red thread locker on the titanium version
@@Danielo197 Thanks for quick answer. I planning to change colors so it’s seems fine.
@@gergoonodi7437 yea no worries friend

thanks for the excellent review, these are really great ...thinking about getting this and their prybar too !

I hope so because the sights I use on all my guns are tritium. I carry appendix so I’d have some serious ball cancer.
Is the glow rhino titanium vial replaceable? Thanks for the reply.

Thankyou for your informational video I enjoy other peoples take on survival kits
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it
Is it bright enough to illuminate a map?
The link doesn’t work anymore 😢
Very nice👌
I need one !
link doesn't work
the amazon link 40's for me
What does edc stand for?
Everyday carry
Hello! You mentioned that Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is it safe to use is as an EDC?
Yes, it wouldn’t hurt you though the container. But if it breaks, if your breathing it in in a closed bathroom with no ventilation then maybe it could cause a problem. But 99% of the time, you’d be okay
That glass breaker is almost as silly as tritium on a pry bar.
They are so expensive here in India…..I really wish if I you could help me out here🤭
Im not sure but maybe aliexpress has some cheaper options!
link no longer works
Cool
Too big for a knife ?
