The Gen 2 ETQ™ builds on the proven Gen 1 design with input from military, EMS, law enforcement, and civilian users. It retains a compact form while introducing three patent-pending upgrades — Power Curve™, Tri-Grip Windlass™, and Power Ring™ — for safer, easier application. Additional improvements include a straighter body, stronger band, enlarged carabiner lock, and new blue trainer models. The chemlight was removed for better durability and cost-efficiency. A QR-coded instruction guide supports untrained responders.
