E&E Compass Button
The new E&E Compass Button by Shomer-Tec was inspired by the escape & evasion compasses developed by the Americans and British during WWII. They were issued to Allied airmen and commandos. These specialized escape compasses were small, had minimal markings, and provided gross magnetic north indication. They were designed to avoid being detected and confiscated if captured. Now – 80 years later – we’ve brought the escape compass to a new level of covertness. Recently developed for certain elite US units that operate in dangerous areas around the world, this new update increases escape and survival odds in situations where other direction-finding tools will not be an option.
The E&E Compass Button avoids detection and confiscation by captors since it remains hidden in plain sight. It looks like and functions as a regular button, and is un-recognizable as a compass. It can be substituted for one of the buttons on your existing clothing or just sewn into a garment as a spare button. To deploy, simply remove the button and then pull out its titanium gimble pin. With the pin pointing upward, place the button with its bottom (flat) side down onto the pin (there’s a hidden 5th hole to put the pin into in the center of the bottom side). The button will then self orient and after a few seconds the small dimple on the top of the button will indicate magnetic north.
Always be prepared – sew one of these into your clothing so you’ll always have a direction-finding tool available when you most need it. Diameter: 3/4”. Thickness: 3/16”. Weight: 0.07 oz. Button material: Plastic. Made in USA. Available in 3 colors: black, tan and dark green.

By agreeing to these Terms, you hereby certify that you are eligible to receive locksmithing devices through the mail pursuant to 39 U.S.C. Section 3002a (a) because one or more of the following terms describe either you or your business:
1. a lock manufacturer or distributor.
2. a bona fide locksmith*.
3. a bona fide repossessor.
4. a motor vehicle manufacturer or dealer.
5. sworn commissioned law enforcement officer.
These Terms were made to induce vendor to send one or more locksmithing devices as defined in 39 U.S.C. Section 3002a (b) to you through the mail and it is expressly understood that vendor will be relying upon your agreeing to these Terms contained herein in filling the undersigned’s order.
*The statute does not define the term “locksmith”. Webster’s Third New International Dictionary defines a locksmith as follows: “a worker who makes or repairs locks.” It is the position of vendor that the term “locksmith” may be deemed to include an individual or organization, a reasonable and substantial portion of whose job description includes the activities normally associated with a locksmith as that term is defined, for example, but not by way of limitation, the security or maintenance department of a hospital, tow truck operator, and so forth.
