Notice everything looks new. I keep a 3” ruler and a condom in my wallet, a keychain Swiss Army knife on my keys and a leatherman rebar in my pocket. ‘
A replacement for the Victorinox bit ratchet could be a Prestacycle or Topeak bit ratchet. In the States, a couple other brands like the Power Torque bit ratchet sold at O'Reilly Auto Parts can be found. The Icon Bit ratchet from Harbor Freight might be preferred by some. You've got a good bit of kit there! Thanks for sharing!
Hi there, Thanks very much for the suggestions for the ratchet driver replacement, I've been thinking about replacing it for a while but still can't bring myself to replace it yet, I just had a look at your suggestions and they all look perfect. Cheers
It's the biggest toolkit ever! Big like & thanks for a good ideas! Only 1 think no like (no problem) a nano spiderco knives, no its not good. But how you made a little holder, the greatest! Thanks for all ideas!
Hi there, Thanks for your kind words, I've made lots of improvements since this video. I agree about the SpyderCo, it's not a super useful tool but it comes in handy at times. Cheers
@@AS-lm2yv I would recommend it if you need something even more compact than a Bic mini but if you have that little bit of extra space then the Bics are excellent
Looks like a glorified change purse, just trying to wrap my head around these micro "EDC" pouches and 1" flashlights... 😂To each his own but just don't seem comfortable or practical for any kind of rapid deployment... I guess if you want something to put chapstick, nail clippers and a tiny useless knife in they are cool...? 🤣You can make a "cool" lanyard! and get super cool patches!😆
Hi there, Thanks very much for watching, pleased you got some insight from the video even if it's to tell you that these kinds of things aren't for you. Cheers
Hi there, it looks like it's unfortunately out of stock at the moment but here's the product: countycomm.com/products/zipper-key-pouch-by-maratac Thanks
Interesting pocket pack. I would replace the sewing kit with a seam reaper which normally comes with a plastic cap into which you can easily store 2 or 3 needles pre-threaded. For sewing in the field, pre-threading is key, otherwise you also need to carry a threader. A seam ripper is very handy for cutting threads and has an interesting shape which can be useful in DIY situations. I would ditch the lighter for a book or two of matches. I would also add an alcohol prep pad or two and a couple of band-aids and a small tube of Neosporin and you have a very useful boo-boo kit, most of which happen when attempting to DIY with inadequate pocket tools. A small tube of Krazy Glue will add to your DIY fix it abilities and double as first aid in the event of a cut which requires closure.
Hey Carlos, I got a Ozark Trail, "wave" For like $45.00 and have had zero issues, you can use ¼" bits in it, an the Klien type too! It may be right for your needs, an is a great tool! Hope all is well your way!
Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I've actually now swapped the pen at the beginning for a Sharpie and a ball point and I've added a glue stick at the back. Cheers
Thanks very much, there is only the tiny little Spyder Co and the Utility knife, they do the job for my needs, I no longer carry the blade in the utility knife though due to UK law. Cheers
Hi there, Thanks for the kind comment, the keychain screw driver is going through some iterations to try and iron out some issues at the moment but I do hope to make them available at some point. I can't give much of a time line at the moment unfortunately.
Love the items. For the charger cable can I suggest a Rolling Square XL. It can charge everything and has all the connections without anything loose and a great and I think smaller form factor.
Hi there, Thanks very much for the suggestion, I really like the look of it but i think it may be a touch too big to fit, I'll check it out some more though. Cheers
Interesting to see a lot of people make small kits for pocket carry. Amazing how much stuff still fits. Though it might be a bit larger, I much prefer the inCharge cable.
I had that exact lighter - I found over time that it leaked gas, and since I didn't use it very often was basically always empty on the rare occasions that I needed it. I probably refilled it more often than I used it! I've replaced it with a peanut lighter. The o-ring in it stops the fuel from leaking out and it's even smaller (though thicker). a BIC would work just as well, as every EDC channel under the sun will tell you!
Thanks very much for your message, I'm a big advocate for Bic lighters but unfortunately the Bic Mini I originally had took up too much space (it's nearly double the width) so I had to find an alternative, I've found the Honest lighter to be pretty reliable for the last few months that I've had it.
This is a genius kit. A lot of people know how to fit small items in but not in a way that's useful or effective. Your kit actually is leagues above those 'Altoid tin' kits in that everything has a use and practicality. You also make a really great point about the Leatherman bits. It's so true. If you lost one bit, you're SOL. I personally shifted away from Leatherman bits as well because they get mangled pretty easily (compared to Wiha or Wera bits), they also don't have as much force because it's half the size (they just don't feel as locked in), and it's actually pretty cumbersome to take each bit out and use on a clunky multitool when it's much easier to use a driver instead. I love how you did that cork thing. It's just so next level. And the way you labeled everything is just so eloquent. Also the WD40 idea seems so damn genius as well but I'll admit I'm scared to try that. :P
Hi there, Thanks very much for your kind message, I've moved putting my kit together and I get plenty of use out of it, I've made a lot of changes since this video so I'll probably upload a new one soon. The WD40 is still holding up ok so far 😂 Cheers
Hi there, unfortunately I bought it from my local hardware store a fair while ago and it doesn't have any branding on the case, I have seen similar things online under the brand 'Miady' though, hope that helps.
Knipex pliers are my most used tool at work working on chemical tankers. When you adjust them just right they work like a ratchet and make the job very quick and the angled teeth get the same grip as the old fashioned pipe wrenches. I've put cheater bars on my larger ones and put a ton of torque on them and I've still not had any break. I have that mini knipex plier and I never thought of adding it to my edc but I definitely will now. Nice kit you have put together!
I love hearing about gear being put to proper use, I can't say I've put mine up to a proper test but I can tell they'd be able to handle anything, cheers for watching.
Hi there, I have tried that before but unfortunately it's so tightly packed that it wouldn't close properly, I have since found a solution for duck tape which is wrapping it around a spool attached to the handle. Cheers
Hi there, thanks very much. The little tin is off eBay and should come up if you search 'slide top tin', I added the lettering with an old vinyl cutting machine, similar to a cricut. Cheers
