Chem lights look cheap until you add up a year of training. Here's the simple math, so you can take it to whoever signs off on the budget.

The numbers we use

• Chem light: about $1.42 each in bulk, used once.
• Tacstix: $450 for 100, or $4.50 each, reused. Lifetime warranty for typical wear and tear.

Cost per marker, by number of drops

Drops	Chem lights	One Tacstix
1	$1.42	$4.50
3	$4.26	$4.50
4	$5.68	$4.50
10	$14.20	$4.50
25	$35.50	$4.50
50	$71.00	$4.50

A Tacstix pays for itself by the fourth drop. Every drop after that is savings.

For a full team

One Tacstix 100 Count covers a team of 8–10 operators.

Drops per marker	Chem lights replaced	Chem light cost	Tacstix cost	Saved
5	500	$710	$450	$260
10	1,000	$1,420	$450	$970
25	2,500	$3,550	$450	$3,100
50	5,000	$7,100	$450	$6,650

Run your own numbers

1. Count how many chem lights your team uses in a training day.
2. Multiply by your training days per year.
3. Multiply by $1.42, or your actual price.

That's your yearly chem light spend. Compare it with a one-time Tacstix order sized to your team: 100 for 8–10 operators, 200 for 18–20, 400 for 38–40.

The cost you don't see

When every drop costs money, people hold back in training. The founder saw it on his own SWAT team. Tacstix remove that hesitation, so your team trains the habit you want on the real call.
