I don't think that specific tools or kit are just developed for Special Forces team. They usually just go shopping at the local outdoor sports shop, fishing tackle shop or gardening centre hoping to find what they are looking for in green or olive drab. wink

Too often folks get taken in by the 'Special Forces' marketing hype.
