FAQ

The left handed smoke shifter is the quintessential piece of scouting equipment.  Useful in a variety of scouting tasks, no scouter should be without one.  Though quality of production has lacked somewhat in recent years, there are still those who produce left handed smoke shifters according to the traditional methods.  While these methods do not produce the quantity of left handed smoke shifters that the more modern methods do, the quality is of a much higher and useful standard.  Due to this greater quality, the traditionally produced left handed smoke shifter is quite a bit more expensive than a mass produced one, but worth every penny.  If you choose to purchase one of the lesser quality left handed smoke shifters, I would recommend purchasing a backup.  These low quality units are known to break down at the most inconvenient times.
