I think you could use a flashlight,a small coil of copper wire and nano cord of kevlar.
The last 2 for sure..I carry 2 flashlights on me and one in car..so that's why I skip it..I do want to fit the LVD 2 as a flashlight/current detector.
Thin solid core coated wire.
There's quite a few brands of cheap snap off blade knives in metal.
Really small cable ties can't be replaced by Velcro.
A jet flame lighter can be used to solder wires.
@@maxlvledc what flashlight you like for a hot guy working on his car in the dark at the races?
@Jermaine Smith I would say needs both a flood and spot with magnetic tail...only one that comes to mind is the Lumintop E05C, one of the best pocket lights I knowm
@@maxlvledc thanks
Great video! Chiming in a little late, but I think a great inclusion would be a contractor trash bag, folded to fit in that large back pocket. It's not a sexy item, but you can used for lots of different situations in different ways. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Ooooo, a clear one..good call!!
Seems like you stuffed that tool roll to the maximum level😂
Great toolkit. 👍
I'll carry some additional stuff (small pieces):
• 3×3 rubber pad (from tyre tube) - helps grip pipe/rounded stuff without marring
• sandpaper
• rags
• nitrile gloves
• mini WD40/mineral oil (repack in eyedrop bottle)
Small pieces for small EDC toolkit. There are many instances where these items helped when away from big toolbox.
i can't go 24 hours without nitrile gloves in my trade. great call.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite EDC channels.
Very comprehensive. The big pry bar takes up so much space IMO. The BID AND FixIt together are probably excessive and your mileage may vary.
Personally I would put in either the WERA Tool Check + which has sockets! Or the HB ICON ratchet set and add some sockets.
I would however add
1. Thin 10mm magnets - very handy
2. Heat shrink tubing
3. Small tape measure
4. Some rubber tubing to cut as required
5. Zip ties
6. Precision screwdriver
7. Some form of shop cloth
8. A simple voltage tester
9. Small strips of VHB tape
10. A small nylon toothbrush
11. T-Shank saw bits to cut whatever. Although I have yet to find a decent compact holder (other than what's on my Leatherman Surge)
and finally
12. A long nosed pencil/marker.
do i have the saw that u need. multiple options include outdoorwerk sawtool, blue spruce woodworks jigsaw handle, renegade outdoors microlight saw, donau elektroniks M208 - Profiline hand saw or donau electroniks MWH60 - Profiline, JAPANESE BOARD SAW by sunflag bn-200n or AX BRAIN.
@@ashsmall8103 These all seem to be saw options. I didn't notice any compact handle option for the T-Shank blades. Am I mistaken?
@@madsmix all of em use t shank. the japanese board saws may use u shank and t shank
Wow! Great list.
tool check is deceptively large and heavy, you mays as well bring your toolbag at a certain point, and he's already there imo. but a small abrasive brush and zipties are definitely mainstays of ultralight handiman pouch
I think this covers most areas so I don't have anything to add. I think my suggestions are more to get alternatives to something-- that you currently have. So it's a longshot. I have multiple multiple screwdrivers like you do. But I'd say my main, true main is the Wera Tool-Check Plus. I like them so much I"m actually considering a second one for my car as well, even though the garage is just outside. But imo it's far better than the other EDC screwdrivers I have (I have the Bit Inline, Big Idea Design EDS2, Topo screwdriver, James Cache River, Victorinox L shape) The Wera Tool check Plus is just so awesome. Also the screwdriver is just so much more natural to use and it's what I reach for. It has everything. You basically don't need another screwdriver, you're covered on bits and covered on sockets. And yes, the Fixit Sticks have you already covered. But imo the Wera Tool Check Plus is just what I naturally use over everything I have. As for the Cheat Key, I'd remove it and put it in a Bugout bag instead. In that Bugout, you put it in your car and that includes things like tire inflator, tire repair, self-jumping batteries like the NOCO, poncho, reflective gear, first aid, food and water for 72 hours, basically everything recommended in Vehicle EDC Reddit. Basically the 'key' doesn't belong in an everyday carry set. It's more of an 'oh shit' item. For the Bic, see if you can half the size. Make it a Bic Mini. For the Pry Bar, no one can win on preference, but imo you can get one that has similar function but smaller real estate. For the razor knife, if you want to cut your space down, check out the ceramic Slice cutter. Amazing cutter but thumbsized. Lastly while completely and entirely subjective, check out the small tool roll by QEES. Unlike most other tool rolls, these are smaller and have 5 slots with zippers. Super handy. It allows you to later mentally associate each slot with something.
Just discovered your channel. Now I’m getting obsessed with tools.
I like to carry a few alcohol prep pads for cleaning up a surface prior to gluing or taping.
Also, you touch on it with the extreme notes, but I like having a Rite-in-the-Rain notepad dedicated to my tool kit-I even keep the first page of that notepad as a “Things to Modify” page for the toolkit so when I’m out doing stuff and think, “dang, wish I had X” I’ve got a specific place to make that note.
I will definitely be looking into a Fix-It-Stick
Those solder seals are very underrated imho. I used them to connect up a glow plug control module in a very tight spot where my soldering iron would have struggled to get. Been years and it's held up perfectly well. I like that it's waterproof too.
no doubt, they look to be superior to heat shrink and not that much more bulky. rejoining wires is why i had to learn to solder and good grief small jobs should be such a hassle as to break out the iron.
I agree with you, sometimes I change my tool kit weekly because it can always be better!
The telescoping magnet is clutch! It's saved me sooo many times!
This is a perfect example of "I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it"
Dominic, great video as always! You produce such great content. I do have a few inputs you might consider. First, I am not to savy with the fixit stick setup but I have been rocking the ICON 1/4" Rachet Set (Harbor Freight) with the small Makita socket sets they sell at Home Depot. I believe the thickness of the ICON set is about the same as the Fixit Stick holder and it gives you loads of bits, T-Driver capabilities, rachet, and extension among other things. I also as a backup I rock a Klein Super Screwdriver which is the combination of two Klein drivers (14-in-1 adjustable with bit storage in the handle and their flipsocket extension). Secondly, a small precision driver with bit storage in handle (Hoto or Klein) would do wonders. The above options might add a little bulk but more functionality and bits in my opinion. Third, DeWalt has a great small 9' tape measurer. A Voltage Tester is always welcome and finally I always rock a Work Sharp Field Sharpener.
I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed with these styles of tool kits! We have A LOT of the same gear! I'm definitely getting those bolt cutters and a magnet pen.
One stroke of genius I've had is a sheet of rubber, it comes in SO handy when you need extra grip. Maybe I should make a video of my one...
Such a good idea!
The guy who makes that pry tool makes a Hank with rubber dots on it for grip, I think. I picked it up recently but it hasn't arrived yet. Also got his kevlar one for camping. I can clean my glasses with one side and pick up a hot pot with the other.
I'd add a few plastic spudgers. Titanium prybars are great until you're trying to take apart a piece of electronics that's clipped together which would get marred by metal implements. Plus often you'll undo one clip, leave the spudger in place, reach for another, and work your way around whatever you're opening that way. They're relatively small and light and shouldn't add too much bulk.
A jewlers loupe. They come in pretty compact sizes these days and if you have a phone clamp in your car, then you would have a makeshift magnification table to use some of your finer implements 👍🏾
I would add a small spool of micro cord, 6 ft tape measure and a few zip ties. I always add a couple of bandaids to my tool kits
Bandaids!! Good call!
I think you did a great job! I love tool kits and have been putting g together one of my own, and you gave me some ideas.
A few things I would recommend: some ranger bands can be helpful and very versatile. A magnifying or fresnel lens if you need to do some close up work. And maybe some sand paper? You have the files though which might do the trick. I got some small sharpening sheets from Grim Workshop which are basically credit card sized pieces of sandpaper in different grits. Just a couple random ideas.
Sand paper is a great idea.
Great kit. I love the roll.
I keep q tips in a zip lock bag so they don’t fray or get dirty.
Throw a couple bandaids in the altoid tin. With all those sharp tools you may need one.
I switched to the torch style butane lighters a few years back. Some are tiny. The flame is much more useful and wind proof. But Bic still takes it for durability.
strongly strongly appreciate that you've sorted the hyperlinks for us. only notes, needle nose pliers. The forceps are good to have but theyre not robust like the Knipex. the needle nose vice isnt really meant for just grabbing and manipulating because the screw controls the mouth. you've given me great ideas and I really love the channel, keep up the great work
To not quote a line from Jaws,
we’re going to need a bigger bag!
Nice kit!
A headlamp, an extension mirror,
a butane torch, & a bottle opener.
That’s my two cents worth.
Keep your smiles on!
Great kit will be adding some of this to my kit, never figured out a great way to carry a sewing kit! I will add black and khaki buttons.
Hey there!
First things first: many - many thanks.
Your approach (and implementation for that matter), is solid and inspiring.
Suggestion: store some toothpicks alongside the q-tips.
For one, you do not want to get things messy with regards to other tools, if a need arises for detailed glue application.
Secondly, q-tips won’t help at all with glue, unless you apply big chunks.
Toothpicks, will serve you a ton.
Moreover, toothpicks can help you clean off dirt from tricky parts whenever you do not wish to damage a surface.
That’s all off the top of my head.
Again, great vid and keep updating it (and let us know too).
Cheers.
George from Greece.
Your bag is very well organized and you have tools I have not seen before. I am just starting a tool kit. The item I am looking for is a mini socket set. Then it will be the Knipex 2 plier set with pouch. I think it is a great tool kit. You may want a multi tool with can opener and scissors just a thought.
Great start.
I would eliminate:
The star tool ( you could toss it in with your spare tire)
The metal box( you’re packing air)those small parts will be fine in the zippered pouch.
The lockpicks
The very expensive bit bar- plenty of torque with the fixit stix t handle.
The fixit stix plastic parts holder
The mini bolt cutter
On the fence about the long nose vise-grip and hemostat forceps.
Add:
Stream light stylus pro led light or compact headlamp
6” adjustable wrench
Small coil of steel wire
Makita 1/4 sockets in the vinyl holders. SAE and metric.
Good ideas!
Small vial of baking soda. Many many uses. Dying battery corrosion, antacid, adhesive aggregate, etc.
One full sized real driver with tips is better than toys and maybes. Stick of graphite. Many many uses.
Great idea. Doesn’t baking soda help build mass when used with super glue?
I like your channel - my EDC carry case is a welding rod holder because they are tough and waterproof - they don’t fit everything and you do have to dump it out but it is waterproof.
absolutely fabulous kit, I personally carry always a piece of sandpaper in mine, has multiple purposes, from sharpening blades to grinding metal parts or wood :)
You should consider getting reusable silicon ear swabs. They are all relatively cheap, but a lot of them come with different shaped ends that are useful for applying glues and putties and such. That's a very nice kit. My only other suggestion would be to add some cordage.
both are great ideas!
Check out the dark shift lockpick set from sparrows. The tools are all flat, but the full size picks really make a difference compared to card picks like you have. The monkeys paw pick is also great to add if you do single pin picking. And there are 2 or 3 expansions to the dark shift set now that have a few extra tools like wafer jigglers (get me into my file cabinet when I inevitably lose the key) and a couple bypass tools.
SIlver Fox Tools if a good place to check out. Love the custom pry bar man, super cool.
I would add a flat earth magnet 🧲 to hold lose items in place (screws/nails) and a set of disposable gloves.
15:10 I've found so many uses for forceps it blows my mind. I have a pair in my gunsmithing tools (I use them mostly to hold roll pins in ways my starter punches can't), my IT tool bag for work, you name it. I agree, super super handy.
Cool kit. Maybe some 4mm bits + 4mm extender to use with your 4mm bit adapter. Adds very little space and weight and are great for recessed screws.
Good stuff, one mod. Ditch the bondic glue (messy and not accurate and replace it with some type of 5 minute putty epoxy. JB weld for black and other brands for white)
This is a really unique and interesting kit you're putting together. It's not quite "survival" but you do have some instances of that shown. However, you do have some emergency sewing, grim lockpick cards, universal key, etc. It's also not "tech" or "urban" so you don't have battery bank, charger cable, precision screwdrivers etc. It's not "industrial maintenance/automotive", so you won't have things like a socket set or wire strippers. But you do have some heavy-hitter tools like the cobras and locking pliers. You also don't have a large knife, flashlight, or any of the normal EDC stuff because well, you already have that on your person.
You've created a scenario that is both vague and specific at the same time, I think. So, it's quite difficult to suggest what to include or exclude. Maybe a deeper understanding of what this kit is actually for would help. What purpose does this kit serve? Should it be separate kits?
Your dead on...truly I Havn't constructed it with purpose
So true, and so challenging - Prefer to think it is a hybrid kit. I am in the same situation and leaning to have separate mini or medium size kits to amalgamate into a backpack BOB.
Some epoxy putty, and a different lighter, the scripto hybrid lighter is refillable and will save your fingers since the flame is away from the ignition button, and I dunno... A handcuffs key maybe? Great tool kit BTW!
I feel like you could remove the larger tools, get a nylon tool bag, put this organizer inside that tool bag and then just let the large wrenches and pliers sit in the main compartment just unsecured, they really dont need to be so secure in that pouch, then you can pack 3 or 4 more lighters in other pockets of the overall tool bag.
I always carry a universal key like the one you showed, never got in trouble for using it...then again i am an industrial automation engineer we get those for free with brands from different companies as promo items. its on my keychain usually.
This was interesting for sure thank you very much
How to improove your pack?: Remove some things, you want to keep only the neccecitys!
-That big ol star wrench? How often have you actually used that... that seems like a complete waste and dangerous in the wrong juristictions. Use pliers instead!
-Toss the Forcecepts, Keep the tweezers, you have that magnetic wand!
-Are you an electrician? If not, then leave those solder seals at home.
-Why the everloving F do you have 2 bit kits? Choose eighter the dewalt or the fancy shmancy titanium one.
-Why do you have 5 sets of specific pliers? One small set of pipe wrench and your multitool, if it takes more than that, you need a PROPPER TOOL KIT!!!
-Carbide scribe is a waste. You have blades of good steel, use the tip to scribe.
-You dont need an extra Extendo utility blade, you allready have a knife, Multitool or utility knife.
You have 3 types of Adhesive with you... toss the UV Resin, superglue is practically the same.
My tool kit:
Ducktape ~5m
5 Small Zipties
Multitool (Victoinox Handyman/Cybertool M/Leatherman Wave+bits)
Victorinox oil (food save)
Victorinox Ceramic sharpening stick with a small piece of leahter glued on for stropping
Small flashlight, Small Lighter, Small Pen/Pencil
Bankline #36~ 10m
Small acid brush for cleaning.
Doggy Bags (For garbage or emergency water protection)
Ouchie Boo-Boo bandaid + Ibuprofen kit.
I have never in my life needed anything more on the go. in the timesi did, i sure as fuck would want the Propper tool. a real Pipe wrench, a real Crowbar, real Hammer.
Have a real tool kit in your car. Don't worry about lugging all the what ifs around, keep only with you what you REALLY need on a regular basis.
For sockets, you should look into the small socket sets Makita makes, they are 1/4 drive, they have both metric and SAE sizes, they come in a compact holder, I have 2 of each set to work against each other if need be, they are great sockets. Makita E-01694 and Makita E-01703.
In my opinion, you need a small set of 1/4 inch sockets and a calico cloth to allow you to put all the tools in use on the cloth
I always put an O ring or zip tie (shock cord too) under the button when I carry a bic lighter. I've seen too many guys pull one out with no butane to chance it.
Cool stuff!
Perhaps with those loose spreader sticks & q-tips I like using small part’s zip-lock bags it’ll keep things not only tighty but keep them clean you just never know 😎
How about a segment on micro drivers?
Wiha, Picquic teeny turner, Klein, and a few others.
I think you may find the teeny turner handy as I do.
good to have a "weird solutions" kit like this...
Kool kit.!
6" wide jaw adjustable wrench and remove one of the knipex. silver grease pencil instead of the scribe. 6' tape measure instead of 6"rule.
Add an impact metric nut setter kit. Can use it with your other tools and it's acts as a compact socket set.
I would suggest adding some pre cut lenghts of self amalgamating tape. Doesn't have a ton of uses, but when you need it, it's awesome and doesn't take up a lot of space.
Hex fit drill bits they fit in your screw driver and you’d be surprised how often you need to make a hole a little bigger or just put a small pilot hole into wood
Yep, my kit has two. One tiny, one larger.
Pretty solid👍 Might check out a Rohnson Jetlite lighter to replace the bick as it's also small and compact but it's butane refillable and has a precise flame and use design to use like a mini torch for your heating tasks. It's nice when you need to hold heat on something in wind for some time. Oh and I'd be interested to see a review of your preffered edc sized glues and lubricants with brand specivity in terms of what's worked for you in your experience on surfaces and temps.
That Ronson butane has damn near saved my life. No matches etc. But had an old Ronson in my bag. Fire lit, cold gone. I keep one in all my go bags now
That's a great kit. Covers most bases and situations.
Have you made any changes to it since this video?
Hi Dominic, nice kit it could use more tools I think, lol
Jokes aside, the biggest issue in a kit for me has been Tool Visibility!
If the tool is out of sight, it's out of mind.
To remedy this, I switched over to Cocoon 10" x 15" grid-it organizers.
Each grid is for a specific purpose (modular works for me ).
Tools could be grouped on a grid:
1. Either by size
2. or by project type
3. or frequency of use
4. or someother method that you find best
I mix & match each of these modules or grids by linking them with the provided loop using one of those aircraft cable keyrings.
Lastly, I use clear plastic containers to store these grids/modules.
no jokes, I buy them by the dozen! 🤣
I need to look into this!!
@@maxlvledc fyi, there is a premium option called the Reef (made in the US) by a company called Step22 gear. It's more heavy-duty but doesn't have many size options. Btw you should consider partnering with them, they sell cool shit 👍🏽
Trauma shears instead of the friskers. Much stronger and cuts more. Leatherman makes a great folding pair.
Pen magnet I have one that lifts 10 Lbs. I modified by taking off the back and pen clip. I filled the hole with that steel epoxy and put in a screw eye. That way I can extend the reach at least down by attaching cordage.
Ti EDC Wrench . Yes I know extensive but acuminates many sizes of nuts. Check it out.
For the teflon tape. Take it off the roll and wrap it around something like the file case.
The Knives bolt cutters! I have been looking for a small set for bug out/urban survival for cutting barbed wire. I assume this would be strong enough. 😊
As cool as it is take out the bit bar you don't need it with the fix it Stix, get rid of the bulky plastic fix it Stix case and put them where the bit bar was. Get some clear drinking straws, melt one end shut and fill them with screw bits. cut to length then fold over and rubber band the other end.
Put your q-tips in a zip lock bag, keeps out moisture and more sanitary if you have to use it on your bod
Be sure to take some sand paper and clean up the rough edged on your lock picks, the will work better. Good idea with the bolt & nut
The are all great ideas!
@@maxlvledc no problem, where did you get the roll from?
I'd like to see you use the solder seal on a video. (Got the County Comm pry bar, Knipex Cobolt Cutters, Knipex 5" Plier Wrench, the Knipex Cobra/micro, the Universal Key, and a magnetic extension device, as well).
Some good quality pipe cleaners (such that you can find in a smoke shop) would be a good addition, or an alternative to the Q tips. They can hold up to more heavy duty use than Q tips
Mirror. Preferably one that can be used at a distance. Funtak, aka poster adhesive. Handy for sticking somethings in place temporarily. Seam ripper. Surprisingly useful when you want to separate stiched goods without causing damage. Also can be used as a cocktail fork. :D Cross-locking tweezers.
Omg..a mirror on a stick..your sooo genius!
Couple zip ties, super glue and JB weld (the fast setting one) in a bag with a little piece of cardboard to mix the JB weld on (using your wooden sticks)
Really enjoyed the video.
I just received this tool roll today, as I liked the look of it in the video, so I ordered it via the link. The roll I received does not have the long pocket along the length of the roll inside the mesh zipper pocket.
Pretty disappointed by that. I was hoping to replace my Maxpedition Chubby organizer and the lack of this pocket disqualifies the tool roll for this purpose.
I would put in several saw blades wood and metal and a handle ,add a loose magnet also,small c clamp, and add a locking crescent wrench with the large jaws. add pipe thread, yellow and white. also a few shrink tubes I carry a 10 foot cloth measuring tape . add some 100 pound bank line , 50 feet add a good small flashlight , charging plug with usb and micro,
an xacto knife is also great when you need one
A Victorinox cybertool 29 will do more than you might imagine. I won't leave the house without mine in my pocket or vehicle. You can take a MacBook down to pieces or tighten a door hinge, knob, drawer etc with real tips and relevant sizes not to mention all the other tools like the best folding scissors for their size. Happy hunting!
Space saving: personally I'd get a smaller sewing kit, the repair items in the tin could be put in a soft shelled pouch, no big idea but bar, you're set with the fix it sticks, speaking of which, I would store them separately and not on the bit holder, maybe use your small wiha bits that you got for your Ozark multitool, that's what I would do for space saving, you'd prolly get the pouch closed easier, as far as missing items? It's pretty comprehensive, the only things I'd add are favorites I always use like some small zip ties, twisty ties, thin ranger bands and some tarred bank line. Possibly heat shrink tubing too, I know you got your seals, but I just use heat shrink for all kinds of stuff.
Oh! And I just realized! You can replace both the fiskars and the clamp if you use your Dr. Slicks, I think they tested better than the fiskars too
Everything in this set is not isolated. Therefore, at least electrically insulating gloves should be. Be sure to have a long PH2 bit, but others will not interfere. The bit extension will not get everywhere - it may simply not go through, but a long bit will get it. Small screwdrivers - without them it is sometimes impossible to change the battery, tighten the glasses, and do such precise work. that black organizer set, where the bits are, should be removed by simply putting the bits and the ratchet handle in a ziplock bag, this will save weight and dimensions. while eliminating duplication - it only adds dimensions and weight. It is worth putting one or two sticks of a chemical light source - although they are disposable, they can be stored longer than batteries.
Wow!! These ideas are rock solid! Thank you!
you can cut down on your weight and bulk by replacing your scribe with a simple mini sharpie. it marks metal just fine. and everyrthing else for that matter.
Dos ideas a mi parecer que te servirían:
- Pichi X2 Pry bar: barra de palanca que combina ademas una excelente llave inglesa y una hoja de bisturí desmontable. Toda de titanio, por supuesto
- Encendedor catalitico. Este tipo de encendedores tienen la posibilidad de regular la llama desde una muy suave hasta otra que es mas parecida a un soplete, con la ventaja de que son recargables con butano y que no se recalientan tan rapido como los encendedores BIC comunes
Con esto creo que estarías reduciendo algo de peso y espacio en el pouch. Espero que te sirva
I'll have to look up the lighter option, I was able to translate 👍
I always carry that utility key for emergency access to water spigots that have a security valves
I know you already have a hammer but I keep a handle less Nupla hammer in my car kit. A bit hard to find but they are still out there.
I like it because it not only has a steel face but also a softer face on the other end. Actually used it a few times when I don’t have room to swing a normal hammer.
For your kit you may not like how much space it takes. But maybe pick the lightest weight.
If you can’t find one maybe get a regular hammer and remove the handle?
Great kit, I would honestly just choose one pair of pliers to drastically reduce weight.
The cheat key is a nice one, although a bit bulky and heavy, I would keep it in the car.
Also I wonder if you really use so many bits.
And I pesronally wouldn't want the police to check my bag in any scenario, carrying both a
small crowbar and lockpicking tools :p
A knife and a saw would definitely be in there for me, even if it's just a Victorinox camper
( but I suppose you would have something like that in your pocket?).
Anyway, with these changes I bet it would be light enough to be a belt pouch.
Any thoughts?
Tape measure, maybe wrapping the Teflon tape around the scribe handle or file handle so you can keep it small. I added recently a hot glue stick, and one of those gator grip sockets. Cheesy I know, but I want to see if it’ll work with different sized nuts or just something threaded beyond finger tight like say a wing nut. That second bit set with the t driver, where can I find that
a small t shank saw. if u wanna go mega premium outdoorwerk sawtool, if fixed is ok renegade outdoors microlight saw or similar to the file tool donau elektroniks m208 profiline saw
You can take either some duct tape or any kind of tape that you prefer and use it to wrap up the little wood sticks. That way you have a little bit more tape and it holds all of the wood pieces together in one place. Just a quick thought
Another thing that you could add is emery boards normally used for finger nail filing. Adam Savage loves the Emery boards and keeps them in most of his tool kits. The Emory boards or stick can have different sanding grits cost almost nothing and take very little room. You can use the diamond files for the sanding too but if you use the Emory sticks your files won't get clogged up with dust.
I'm a bicycle type so the lack of pressure guage and tools kinda hurts. Countless times I'll be at a gas station and their guages will be bust then I loan mine to people in line for the compressor. I live where 15 psi makes the difference in winter between traction or slip so I consider it a necessary everyday item. Mine comes with a ruler markings too.
hoto persision screwdrivers pretty good
For the two knipex plier wrenches, what is the difference between the two? When and for what purposes would you use either over the other and which is more versatile? If you could only carry one, which would it be?
I just started the video, but my first suggestion is to get rid of this giveaway carabiner and get a climbing proof carabiner, this would help in situations you need to rely on a carabener. And if you use one with e. g. screw to secure, you will also not loose your stuff.
Good point.
You can add a gator grip socket. Multiple sizes from 1 socket and wrench...
It's really big..but maybe.
That's a pretty comprehensive kit. You might be better served by the Wera Tool Check Plus, although the weight and size might be an issue and gives you socket capability. Alternatively Bahco do a small socket set as well. I would also suggest getting some precision drivers in there, given you wear glasses, at the very least having some to repair them in the event of a screw popping out might help, admittedly I haven't come across a decent compact set with the 4mm hex, have some cheap Banggood Daniyu ones with a bespoke fitting which have been very handy. Maybe look at the Heroclip instead of the carabiner you have, the you might find the added functionality beneficial. Whilst I like certain aspects (the magnetic pick up tool, definitely adding one of those to mine) there are things in there that I don't think would work for me. I bought those fiskar scissors after you tested them, those things are surprisingly capable for the size and price.
Hero clip is a really good idea.
@@maxlvledc I have one, and it's a good piece of kit. I think I'll buy a smaller one.
The wera tool check kit is one of my favorite tools I ever bought. I used it constantly for the first few months of moving into my house with my 12v impact.
@@commentsonthetube14 yeah I think it's a very good kit, whether it's right for a EDC tool kit is a whole different question, one I hope to have an answer to in the near future.
@@k.hussain360 it's a little big for me to EDC. I keep it in a tool box. It's like my larger version of this. I bring it when I need to fix something. But I don't keep it in the car or carry it. My everyday backpack kit is pretty barebones. And my car tools are more focused on fixing the car if there's an issue I can handle myself.
I think it would be cool to compare what you have in your kit to the full-size versions of each thing. Will the size and weight justify the utility? Perhaps lager versions excel in more than the compact varieties? probably not but I think it would be cool to see
Ditch all the 1/4 driver section of the kit and replace it with the icon kit. Remove the case and use standard bit sleeves to store the bits. This will reduce the size and still offered the capabilities of what you have in a much smaller package.
Hmm, you may be right
get a 10' tape measure, you can get a tiny one. Also some legit scissors like C. K Tools 492001 Electrician's Scissors, 10-Inch OAL Stainless Steel
To improve... I feel like I wouldn't double up on screwdrivers. Maybe I'd swap the locking pliers for a Leatherman crunch. Though it's not adding utility so much as compactness. Maybe throw in a jigsaw blade or two with the crunch. I'd probably drop the wire cutters unless you have a strong reason to need them with your job or life generally. They're cool, but they're big and multi tool wire cutters can cut through a chain link fence fine. And most wire I've dealt with regularly. Engineer makes a monkey wrench with thin jaws. It's not as convenient as the pliers wrench, but it's smaller with probably better leverage. Those solder and seal connectors take up a lot of space, but if you use them regularly, go for it. There's a company called pockit that makes a really small Bluetooth multimeter that works great. If you do a lot of auto electronics. I think it's only good up to 30 volts or so though. They have a pro model that goes up to a thousand volts, but it's a lot larger. It's still pretty compact relative to its capability though. Easily half the size of my normal multimeter. There are a number of really compact measuring tapes. And better lockpicks for not much extra size. I'd carry a SIM tool. Though the paperclips are probably fine. A small headlamp like the Nitecore nu25 with shock cord mod would add a lot of utility. As would a small screwdriver set like the HOTO screwdriver set.
I guess it kind of depends on what you do in your day to day. I work in tech so I tend to need small tools. I EDC a Leatherman style PS and it's all I need for pliers most of the time. Small multimeter, a USB c breakout board, small and normal screwdrivers. That does it for me usually. Letterman wave if I have space or am not flying.
Writing/marking utensil, zip ties, heat shrink and or Hacksaw?
Your timing is impecable! I was thinking about getting a Lochby Tool Roll and this video was just what I needed.
Do you think a Leatherman P4 would fit into any of the elastic straps?
Hmm, yes but would stretch it too much imo
Thank you for your quick response.
I’ll would add some latex gloves and some alcohol based cleanex whipes.
i'm one of those people who keep nitrile gloves on me great for clearing poisonous brush or using less skin safe chemicals can also be used to store things in as they are waterproof
I suggest a nylon black stick. Great for a lot of things and especially on stuff you don’t want to mar or scratch.
Is it like the pry I have but plastic?
@@maxlvledc Search for "spudger kits." These days, they are handy. Non-marring. They can scrape. They can pry open plastic fasteners, and probe in recesses.
Replace the Wescott ruler with the Knafs Co. ruler/angle finder?
You forgot the kitchen sink... :)))
Good job, nice ideas! Do you think you could add a 2nd kit with additional items to complement the 1st & carry them both as a larger chunk with 2 carabiners?
Maybe downgrade this one and complement it...you may be on to something...🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@maxlvledc Cool! glad to have helped!
Don t worry it was interesting ❤
The scribe is superfluous in that kit. The diamond files can also double as scribes. Maybe replace the scribe with a sharpie?
Hmm, never thought of that.
Can you post a link to the electronics pry bar?
Mini sharpie? Glue stick? Grim Works cordage dogtag? Cool video. Thanks.
Careful with how long you keep that uv resin glue in there, some of those will expire and harden up in the tube.
