We told you. White light in an even flood-like pattern for $30 is a real deal. Includes a magnet for hands-free use.

But did you know that for a limited time you can get one FREE with qualifying orders?

Just place an order for $200 or more. Then, just ask us at the time of order placement for us to toss in a FREE BattleWHITE and we’ll do it!

Otherwise, if you get your order and there’s no free light…and you call and complain, “Where’s my dog gone light?” then we have to go back in, issue a new order, get a box, type a label and put it on the FEDEX truck…and then charge you probably $10 in freight.

Place your order today!

Dave Ives, CSCSA Retired, the well-known inventor of the Stati-Lift product recently sent us this reminder to pass on.

Paraphrased a bit from Dave’s words: “I often ask CSI officers how they would get a dust print off a newspaper or other surface in your typical B&E scene…without exception, no one can offer a solution. Regular tape lifts won’t work. Neither will fingerprint powder readily work. I demonstrate the use of the Stati-Lift product, and they are amazed. Especially when you hit it with some oblique lighting.”

“I point out that a possible alternative is a $900 electrostatic lifter. For most Departments, this is not a viable option. Stati-Lift is an inexpensive, easy and effective method.”

We agree. To give you the basic Google explanation, Stati-Lift is simply two sheets of foil film that when peeled apart, create static electricity. When placed down on a suspect surface, and smoothed out, it will attract the miniscule dust particles of a shoe print. Then, put the two film sheets back together. If you can’t visualize any dust pattern lift, try hitting it with some oblique light. The BattleWHITE would be one option.

We think that more often than not, you will be pleasantly surprised. And you’ll be saving a dog gone boatload!

Yes, Dave will be receiving a FREE Tracker t-shirt for his little reminder how to use his product.

If you have a little tip or reminder on how to best use a Lynn Peavey product, send us an email! If published, we will send you the same!

We guess that you could go to the hardware store, and pick up a brush that says “better” or “best.” Dip it in our Powder In The Ruff cinnamon and vanilla fingerprint powder and see what develops.

We think you’ll see pretty quick why we push our individually hand-made Fiber Dusters. But it’s the treatment the filaments get that set ours apart. Treated with a lubricity compound, ours create less friction with the evidence surface, yielding up to 40% better development. Plus if you want to, we treat it with a water-resistant coating.

Not interested? Go ahead and just order off the prison menu. Water, beans and vitamin-fortified mashed potatoes.

Who would have thought one of our most recent products, the Roll-N-Seal Kraft Evidence Bag closure was born from a barf bag on an airplane. The comments and emails are all almost unanimous…” Great product…wish it was around years ago…saves me a ton of time taping…etc.”

Simply fill the bag, roll the top down, and seal!

And drove to the AAFS show several weeks ago in Denver, Colorado. Show was great. Afterwards, it got interesting.

Drove way up into the snowy mountains by myself. Took a 60lb pack, snowshoes and my down sleeping bag, but no tent. I planned on finding a spot to dig a snow cave and spend the night. What could go wrong?

First challenge out of the gate, I couldn’t lift the heavy pack. So, I managed to hoist it on the tailgate, backed into it, and slipped in that way. Probably should have quit right there.

Snowshoeing for a couple of hours, I quickly gained altitude. I had this monkey on my back that I couldn’t remove, so I rested every 20 minutes or so, leaning over clutching my knees. Just lingering long enough to drink some water and stay well-hydrated. Google says people die of dehydration in the wilderness before starvation.

Looking at my Timex watch, I did some quick math and felt the familiar pang in my gut. I needed to start looking for a place to dig my snow cave. 1 person needs about 5-6 hours to dig a decent snow cave. I soon settled on a spot and started digging. And digging. And digging. If you are careful, you can cut perfectly square blocks of snow with a regular hand saw. Pretty cool.

All the while, I tried to stay super hydrated.

Three or four hours into the dig, I discovered I could have found a better spot than I did. The sun was fading fast and the bitter cold was creeping in. I wasn’t about to put that 60lb monkey on my back again, so I decided to make do. I had to carve a sleeping area with almost no head room, and as it turned out, 12” too short.

I managed to stuff my sleeping bag in the little hole in the mountainside. Yes, I remembered to cut a small airway in the roof with a ski pole so I wouldn’t suffocate myself.

It took me about 15 minutes to squeeze into the cave. Once in there, I was determined not to come out until morning. An empty screw-cap 32oz water bottle was by my side for relieving myself. Remember, I was super hydrated. The bottle had this little internal cap I inadvertently forgot to remove. The warmth that I was feeling was not from the bottle walls. I knew it wasn’t me bleeding, so it had to be my worst nightmare. I had now to deal with a wet sleeping bag in 10-degree weather. Fear of surviving did cross my mind.

Enough said. I did not forget to remove the internal cap the next time, or the next, the next or the next.

God was watching over me though.

I am sure He was watching in amazement, wondering why I put myself through such situations…and do it time after time. Am I the only one doing crazy stuff?

Cartridge Casing Collector – Here is a great little tool that will come in handy collecting brass casings found at a shooting scene. Best thing is, it picks up the casing while preserving the touch DNA and fingerprinting processes. Developed and manufactured by a guy who is an active Crime Scene Technician.

Help us make another millionaire…order tons…and he will be on his way to riches! Details here.

Out of the hundreds of thousands of Peavey fingerprint kits out there, we got one where the latch “malfunctioned.” Actually, the latch worked too well. Once closed, it wouldn’t open.

Greg Ebeling (nearly 40 years in) took the complaint call. He went back in production and tested a latch for himself. Go ahead, call him a wimp, but he had difficulty opening them by hand.

As it turned out, the case of the malfunctioning latch was solved. The latch can be opened by simply using a ball-point pen under the latch. After a few cycles the latch worked much better.

At least we know that the latch is not too loose. Then we’d all have some real problems!
