Pen Launcher Kit ~ Distress Signaling Flares

I fired over a large swollen creek during recent flooding mainly because it created a large safe place to test. The range was decent and while smaller than a flare pistol very bright and noticeable. Should work well for distress signal. Downside packaging is not durable for boat storage, get a small water proof container. Also it’s like A shot gun primer in back of flare round be careful handling it can fall out. All in all impressed with product and price.

I fly a lot during the summer so this kit is amazing to have. Every time I purchased this kit it arrived at least two days early and the flares work very well during testing. I’m very disappointed that this kit is no longer available because it is pure quality and honestly should be promoted.

Compact and well built launcher !

Purchased this as an emergency signal flare for my (small) boat. No idea if USCG approved, but it should do the job if it works as advertised (flare height of 20 - 30 meters [65 to 98 feet]). It comes with 12 small flare cartridges in 3 colors - green, orange and red. I'll probably give it a test with a green one, as green flares aren't commonly used for emergencies/distress signaling. (FWIW, International Code of Signals, Chapter 4 - a green flare generally means "affirmative" or "This is the best place to land" [a small boat]).Edit: No, not USCG approved, so it's not going to get you through a boat inspection.

For the price, you can't beat it. It comes with a box of 15 flares; 5 flares of each color, red, green and yellow. The flare goes up about 100ft and burns out before it hits the ground. I just wish these were still available because I'd by 10 more!

Works greatI was going to buy again but price went up 8.00

This is a great product great when a person goes fishing hunting or hiking.

Good price, average altitude. Ok deal
