SUREfire SHOCK TUBE STARTER:

The SUREfire Exploder generates a discharge right inside the shock tube, initiating with great reliability

Existing methods of initiation rely upon explosive primer systems which are often unreliable and inconvenient to use. The Surefire Exploder generates a discharge right inside the shock tube, initiating with great reliability.

When in use, the open end of the shock tube lead-in line is inserted into the initiation tip of the unit with the central electrode inserted into the shock tube.

Advantages:

High Reliability
Low Consumables – No Primers – thousands of shots on one small, 9 volt alkaline battery
No Clouds of Lead and No Ejection of High Velocity Particles
Comfortable Pocket Size and Very Light Weight
