Ahh...yes. I've seen both, and the stryker unit is far better built. I'm surprised that it's really only ferno and stryker. I guess those two companies pretty much run the marketplace.

2) Use JB Learning online. It's a small fee, but the questions are hard and similar to the NREMT test. Once you can pass these tests over and over, you know your stuff.
