It really does look like a better mousetrap.
I can see a two-part epoxy putty working, under reasonable conditions. A 55 gal drum getting hit by a forklift, and you have some props at hand to jam the putty in place.... not bad, perhaps.
But, as anybody who is familiar with Murphy knows.... road wrecks often happen under pretty miserable conditions. The design looks like something that should work well in the field - simple and compact, but it addresses the compression issue.
We've all likely seen designs that look good, but weren't executed well. Given that the founder was both a LEO and Fireman, I expect that he knows what kind of quality and reliability is needed, to sell into the emergency response market.
I know a guy who owns a heavy towing company - I'm going to make sure that he knows about this.
I wanted to post on here, for everybody, but especially for the Volunteer Fire Departments. In a remote area, this could make the difference between a small leak, and emptying a whole tank.
If I was an O/O, I'd want one for my own truck. If you had a minor accident in an out of the way place, this could make the difference between driving out, and waiting for a heavy tow (or anybody) to show up.
Rgds, D.
