The JAWS OF LIFE: A series of handcrafted, precision-cut pieces will come together to create a first response tool capable of chewing through metal like a can opener. At the scene of an accident, a natural disaster, or in the combat zone, the Jaws of Life can cut through just about anything to gain access to a victim – and pluck them from the jaws of death. On September 12, 2001, one day after the tragic attacks on the Trade Center in New York, two marines sifted through the rubble at Ground Zero and they heard cries for help. Using the Jaws of Life, rescuers were able to cut through concrete and metal girders and reach two Port Authority cops who were buried 30 feet under the concourse and pull them out alive.

And it’s going to take 1600 man-hours, several months, and 1 million dollars to get this battle tank back into fighting form. It’s worth every penny. The M1 Abrams Battle Tank is the US Military’s top gun. Since it rolled onto the battlefield in 1991 it’s been the toughest, fastest, smartest fighting machine on the ground. After 5 – 10 years of service, these 8 million dollar tanks get battle wary. And kitted with current technology and innovative add-ons, these rebuilt M1’s will be better than new. On February 24, 1991, at the height of the Gulf War, US tanks and armored vehicles raced east from Saudi Arabia into Iraq in a daring flank maneuver later nicknamed the “Hail Mary.” In what has been dubbed the last great Tank Battle of the 20th Century, US forces, spearheaded by the M1 Abrams, engaged with Saddam’s tanks. The outcome was an overwhelming US victory. The WATCH: This military watch doesn’t just glow in the dark. Made in Switzerland, the Traser H3’s hands and indicators are charged by a chemical reaction that will glow day and night, 24/7 for at least 10 years.
