To me, upgrading and modifying an EDC setup is the half the fun as you figure out what tools you like, better ways to organize or fit things into a space, or changing out tools for better ones. I like the modified swiss card. Gives me an idea to try and fit some leather stitching needles into a SAK in place of the toothpicks
I can think of several "outdoor" uses for a level. If you're trying to build any large structure like a cabin or fence it would certainly come in handy for setting posts. It's also good for getting frying pans level so your food doesn't slide to one side while it cooks. That's not to say this is a prepping video at all- its not. Just EDC
Very nice setup 👍 alot of stuff. I have a pouch I carry also in my pocket about the size of a wallet but I still carry a dedicated wallet too 😔 I need to work on it and try to combine them. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment! I pulled a lot of inspiration from altoid tin kit videos, so if you're looking for more ideas that would be a good place to turn to. Best of luck!
Thank you! I love the victorinox tweezers and scissors too much to not include it in the kit, and I'm glad I was able to replace the things that I don't find useful in the swisscard with things that could get me out of a pinch!
Leatherman is absolutely amazing!!!! I love every single one of mine!!!!!and I agree the bit set and other bits they make are absolutely great!!!! Love the skeletool!!!! There great medium duty multi tools!!!
Liking the customized swiss card idea 💡 although I'm mystified as to why you'd replace the t pick with a wooden version 🤔 I tend to use grass stalks as I wander out and about. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Glad you like the idea! The wooden toothpick is mostly for little wood repairs. Friends and family often ask me to fix things around the house. Often times the issue will be caused by screws that have stripped out the wood that the screws are screwed into, so it becomes impossible to "tighten" the screw. Sometimes, all you need is a toothpick to fill in the stripped out wood, screw the screw back in, and 90% of the time the screw will tighten up enough to fully repair whatever you're working on. Thank you for the comment!
I tried, but mini tins are a tiny bit too big for this setup because of height and width, and same with the tic tac cases that people sometimes use. The mini tuberware in the wallet is unfortunately slightly too small to fit some of the thicker leatherman bits, so a secondary mini tuberware wouldnt work either. I'll keep searching for the perfect little container, but for now the rubber band works well enough and keeps everything together
nice setup! maybe consider adding a couple of hair bands in there. I find myself using my wife's all the time. also I have a bit of heavy duty duct tape wrapped around an old used gift card, not so much that it's too thick for my EDC but enough to come in handy when needed. I like how I can tear thin strips as needed. EDC is an ever evolving process, changing as I get new ideas, like the bit bundle with the rubber band you have. I will definitely be using that! 👍😎👍
I couldnt think of a good way to store thick pieces of tape like duct/gaffer tape, but that gift card idea is flippin brilliant and I'm 100% going to give that a shot. If I do another wallet vid in the future that includes that, I'll definitely shout you out. Thank you for the ideas and comment!
Bro!!!! If you love flashlights..... get on that olight train!!!!!!!! Once you start getting a bunch of them you start getting extra charging cables and batteries!!!! Great warranty awesome customer service there are constantly trying to improve there products!!!!!!! Olight for the win!!!magnetic charging is where its at!
If you only have a "plan" to make a tension wrench that means you've never made one. Which means you've never used your lockpicking tools (I didn't see a rake or comb tool) and that whole use case is rather theoretical. Don't get me wrong, its a good idea, but its not really EDC if there's no "every day" element to a very occasional use.
Lock picking is a hobby of mine and I'm in no way claiming to be a locksmith. That being said, I've experimented with different makeshift tension wrenches and have found that bobby pins are far superior to paperclips in shape and strength, and have successfully picked my front door multiple times with a bobby pin without trouble. Also I feel like I'm playing a Fallout game with the bobby pin which adds to the cool factor. The rakes and combs are inside the victorinox swisscard where the nail file typically goes, which I explained in the video. I have a seperate set that I use for practice and work. The everyday part of the lockpicks is primarily the peace of mind it brings everyday. If someone loses their keys I'll be able to save them or myself some money and a ruined day waiting for a locksmith to show up. I'm really bad about forgetting things, so losing my keys or locking them inside my house is a constant fear thats alleviated by a bobby pin and some rakes, so that's why they stay in the wallet. Its the same with firearms to a more extreme degree. People don't carry them everyday to use them everyday- its just for peace of mind's sake.
You'll wish you had that crunch on you if you run into a really tight bolt. Needle nose pliers aren't good on tight bolts. I tried to no avail to loosen a rusted bolt on my old bike using needle nose multitool pliers. Now I'm going to change my mutitool EDC to Victorinox Swiss Champ and Knipex Cobra pliers, or 4 inch vise grip pliers from Amazon. 😁 I wish more companies made vise grip / clamp plier multitools! They're so much better than needle nose pliers.
I do like the full size pliers, and the squirt is discontinued :(. Otherwise theres a good chance there would have a squirt in there instead of the skeletool
@@wookiescookies I wholeheartedly recommend the SOG Powerpint then. Roughly the same plier size as the skeletool but more compact and also capable of using regular or leatherman bits.
@@wookiescookies the 'FISHER Space Pen' is the world's most reliable ink pen. It is reliable in extremely cold & hot weather conditions. ⚠️ It is important to also carry an incandescent flashlight. The natural or military made EMP (electrical magnetic pulse)⚡will destroy all LED flashlights and digital electronics.
@@wookiescookiesthe reason why Leatherman stopped manufacturing the SQUIRT is because the springs kept breaking. When this happens the scissors & pliers stop functioning.
Ohhh brother!!!!! AMEN 🙏 to losing things!!!!!and it always seems to be either expensive things or things that maybe have more sentimental value!!!!! Me too!!!! What seems like my whole life lmaooooo!!!!!!😅 thankfully not consistently like alot!!!! But certainly enough for me!!!! Ohhh man lol some of the things I've lost like an idiot !!!! Lol anyway great set up!!
dude, he said he just recently started doing EDC, who cares about how much wear they have, you act like it's a competition or something. EDC is an individual thing and he's got a cool little kit that works for him, that's all that matters. 🙄
This is an updated setup, so most of the tools are new. I make a living doing maintenance, so its handy to have tools in my pocket wherever I go. And just for the record, I never once said I "often use" anything in the video, so not quite sure what you're quoting there. Thank you for the comment though!
