IFAK Trauma Kits, Tourniquets & First Aid
An IFAK (individual first aid kit) is built around stopping severe bleeding: a tourniquet, pressure bandage, gauze and trauma shears. Keep one in your vehicle, range bag or pack, and learn how to use it with a Stop the Bleed class.
What goes in an IFAK?
A tourniquet, compressed gauze, a pressure bandage, trauma shears, gloves and tape. Many kits add chest seals and a rescue blanket.
How do I use a windlass tourniquet?
Place it 2-3 inches above the wound, pull the strap tight, twist the windlass until bleeding stops, lock it, and note the time. Get training - a Stop the Bleed course takes about an hour.
Buying guide
Choosing the right protection for the job
Protective gear only works if it fits and you keep it on. Choose work gloves by the hazard: cut-resistant gloves for sheet metal and glass, nitrile-coated gloves for grip in oil and wet conditions, and leather for heat and abrasion.
For eyes, look for safety glasses marked ANSI Z87.1 or Z87+ for impact protection. For ears, compare the NRR (Noise Reduction Rating): anything above 85 dB, like power saws and grinders, calls for plugs or muffs.
Read the cut level
ANSI A1-A9 rates cut resistance. A4 and above suits sheet metal, glass and blades.
Look for Z87+
The plus sign means the lenses passed high-velocity impact testing.
Double up when it is loud
Plugs under earmuffs add protection for chainsaws and very loud equipment.
Common questions
What cut level do I need for work gloves?
A2-A3 for general handling, A4-A6 for sheet metal and glass, A7 and up for heavy blades and metal stamping.
What does ANSI Z87.1 mean on safety glasses?
It is the US standard for eye and face protection. Z87+ lenses passed the high-impact test.
What NRR do I need?
Most power tools run at 90-105 dB. An NRR of 25-33 brings that into a safer range; double up for chainsaws.
