I install and repair servers in racks every day, all day.
On my hip is a Swisstool X, Olight baton on a magnet belt-loop carrier, and a discontinued Benchmade OTF in S30V.
Those three items get used the most so they're on my belt and they disappear until a polo shirt.
In my Eberlestock $99 bag I have my laptop, a pouch with a bunch of serial cables (for configuring routers, switches, and servers), and a clothing "cube" with a mesh top for other various cables and tools like electric screwdriver, USB-powered soldering iron, various TORX wrenches (hard drive carriers & CPUs), and a small ratcheting driver & bit set.
I can walk into any datacenter on the planet with that and pretty much install or repair any server or switch hardware with it, and all of it has been tested over time across 3 different continents both in and out of combat zones.
$66 for a pouch is insane
Mighty pouch + easily cost 55 dollars if you can even find one.
@@MouseCIick also a rip off
at least someone said it
What you said about using the strop across the blade... makes sense.
The pliers wrench are absolutely awesome! I work in industrial ag and use my pliers wrench more than any other tool! They’re so versatile and easy to use. I definitely need the little guys for my range bag.
I have them in a few sizes and I always reach for them over a wrench first because they work so well and are way faster than hunting for the right size wrench. They don't always work, but when they do, they're amazing
They’re also thin, and good for tight spaces! They make a great present for anyone too. I made an edc kit for my in laws and they’re an essential piece for them.
i just added an extra flashlight to my backpack kit. i updated my old mini mag light with a new bulb and lithium batteries. i use it in conjunction with the o light arcfield uv i carry everyday. It's just nice to have a battery run flashlight with lots of range.
Good stuff man!
Can't go wrong with a Mag. Can't imagine dropping a Arkham. 😬
Guess if I had to choose one I'd prefer the Arkham but who knows what it COULD go through in a life or d€@πh situation.
Maybe check out the Wera Tool-Check Plus, seems like more functionality in a slightly larger form factor than the Fix It Sticks
Nice kit! I like to have two different sets of bit drivers too. Can come in handy sometimes.
I keep my leatherman wave with the bit kit and ratchet driver in mine. Otherwise pretty similar items to yours.
I also put a flashlight in mine, in case i dont have one in my pocket. Also included a bandana/shop rag and some micro fiber cloths.
From one Taylor to another, awesome video!🙌🏻
I've been rocking the Victorinox Deluxe Tinker as my multi tool. Need to put together a tool kit
Small vice grips is very beneficial.
Just ordered a pair for my edc. Surprising how often I could do with them.
The only things I would add is a couple of different band aids and an antiseptic wipe. ✌️
Love it, I'd throw a couple band aids in as I'm always cutting or banging up my knuckles and fingers. Also as an architect I have a micro notebook from Pico pens as I gotta sketch or draw something on the fly. Oh, and some random length para cord.
Thank you
What was the utility blade holder?
Where did you find micarta scales for the Arc? That is a must!
Nice bag. For me, my Nutsac Double Admin goes in every backpack or satchel. And yes, I feel the pain of overstuffing.
Nutsac makes some great bags and pouches, too, for sure!
$113 for a compact pick set is a little absurd, but that is the most comprehensive compact pick set that I've seen.
I know it seems a bit silly, but it is really one of the most well thought out kits I've seen, and it's made here in America by the same people who were making the Covert Industries tools before they started outsourcing to another country
Thanks Taylor. Great gear options and review!
Have you tried out pipe vise- mini-edc
Great kit! Fingernail clippers is always a must for me in all my kits. Carry on!
Agreed! I keep a little grooming kit in one of my Pocket Safes in my Bum Bag
I’ve never really understood this, I cut my fingernails with the scissors on my multitool and they turn out fine, i cant imagine carrying clippers around daily when there’s alternatives (that most people carry) that do the job fine
Nothing beats clippers. You probably have finger nails that look like a wild dog has chewed them.
@@rickys7435 judging by how you think I’d cut them it seems fitting you carry around your little pedicure kit
😂 careful your insecurities are showing! 😂
Take a look at the Pipe Vise Micro 5
Hey Ben, That video Taylor Martin did of you at the show was great. 😂
Fun stuff!
Appreciate the support 👊🏻
@@BestDamnEDC always man! 🔧
Did you include anything to use the utility blades with? You've got the holder but can't really use them that way.
I always have one in my pocket
Oh that makes sense!
Great Video and Channel! Any possibility of maybe doing a product review of our Firestarter?
You should definitely pick up that gold ratchet. They have at Harbor freight.
😅
It's cheaper last time I was in.
I would add some bandaids, antiseptic wipes and Neosporin.
Where can i get that utility blade holder for extra blades!?
It's from Magnus but he hasn't made them in a long while. I want to say I spent like $115 or so on this thing thinking it was an actual utility knife but it's just a blade holder 😅 magnusx.com/search?type=product&q=Utility
RAE GEAR make a great leatherman bit kit and driver holder 👌👌
This is great. I'm going to present an opinion only, not saying anyone else is wrong or that I am absolutely right in any way...
I have to go with a carpenter pencil instead of the mechanical one. I can buy one, cut it in half and either carry two with me (in case I lose one)
Or
I have one in each of two different places.
And I could buy a WHOLE BUNCH for what the mechanical pencil costs. Sharpening it? Isn't it in an EDC kit with blades anyway? Plus, throw a sheet of sandpaper in an EDC kit and you don't even have to have a blade to sharpen it... So you have a solution for airline travel. AND they write on write in the rain paper.
I've replaced carabiners with 550 cord shackles. They do the same thing, weigh less, cost less, aren't conductive, and are flexible so they can get out of the way.
Also, did I miss the light somewhere?
Bladeville sends it's regards.
Good to see you in here again 😂
Any mechanic knows the cobras are the best pliers for almost everything ever made I love the wrench pliers too if I could only have ones it’s cobras they do bolts screw heads and pipe different shaped fittings etc
When you say "use" do you mean, show to camera? Not trying to be critical, just want a little clarity
I think he has too many tools to actually use any one tool enough.
I mean, a leading question like that is inherently critical. But, yes, I use my gear pretty regularly.
Ok. Thx. I like to watch your videos to see new gear and get ideas for my own EDC. I wouldn't mind if you would actually review the gear from time to time. Hope you have the bestest day 👍🏻
@@wobblybrute For the last 9 months, we've been a little limited in what we can shoot for a number of reasons, and we just moved into a new space. But the plan moving forward is a lot more about how and why we use certain tools over just what we carry. That's the plan at least haha
Appreciate the support 👊🏻
Super solid kit love your videos 🤙🏽
Glad you like them! 🤘🏻
Can we get a full video on alcohol wipes
man worksharp needs to bring that sharpener back. Its exactly what I have been looking for.
😏
I may have snagged one of the last ones out there after this video but if you are suggesting you are bringing them back I could always use a few more ;) @@BestDamnEDC
It's not the same thing but it won't cost nearly as much either 👀
@@BestDamnEDC even better!
Loving the new hoodie…. Will that be dropping soon?
It's actually a really, really old hoodie I didn't know I had until we moved offices 😅
Well…. Can we get a re launch of the really old hoodie 😂 us UK people love a hoodie 😂😂
A pair of nitrile gloves (the disposable tough ones) in the alcohol wipes pouch would be cool
Some great stuff here - but I made it nearly $600 for the pouch and everthing in it - plus $260 for the Leatherman Arc. That's around $850 for this set up... That's crazy money. could you do one for $100-150???
Did you say what leatherman that is?
Great edc wuth small footprint.. hey, just laugh of my 2 problem: 1)black hoodie with most of black/dark tools, if saw with smatrphone are not so clear (need at least a 10 tablet or pc monitor), 2) the cameraman give me deadache with continium zoom in/out and the move camera like drunk people!
Super set up. For the measuring tape I would maybe go from 3 ft to 6 ft. I like the Milwaukee 6.5 with inches / cm scales.
Good call!
Me too, I just bought a couple more. I haven't found any tapes with both. Comes in so handy. Very light as well.
I would add some electrical tape... I can't tell you how many times it's come in handy
Best Damn EDC [Taylor Martin], Subscribed because your videos are always awesome!
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy the content 👊🏻
Can it really be called EDC if it's not carried on your person in your pocket or on your belt ?
A lot of people put kits together that have to go in a backpack...etc or is barely usable because it's perfectly packed in an altoids tin.
To me EDC has to be easy and comfortable to carry on your person, if it's in your vehicle or off body in a backpack it's not EDC.
Maybe that's just because I'm a blue collar guy who doesn't have a desk or backpack or anything like that and needs the things I carry to be on my person at all times.
Idea for a video, total up the cost of your edc, your toolkit and the contents of your bag, excluding laptops cameras etc and then do complete system for 25% or 50% of the total
Interesting concept!
I got 570$ rounding down and leaving some stuff out, so prob between 350 and 450 to build a version of this from scratch.
Where can we find that small black box you use for the bits ?
Nice but expensive for edc. I prefer a more budget friendly kit for this. More quality gear in a daypack.
I thought this was a Jay and Silent Bob promotion
Opa . Salve, salve. Vamos estudar. E lembro q na wallet Unisat tem tanto BRC20 qt Runas.
Love Knipex tools. I've spent WAY to much on their pliers/wrenches and specialty pliers, but my great-grandkids will be using them someday.
Nice video.
Did you cut a "REAL" Penny or a FAKE Penny? The fakes are easier to cut.
Would love to see some of this stuff being used in a everyday scenario, ive said it before , most of the items i own are scratched or worn, yet every video on RUclips channels always show pristine items.
Sorry, I'll zoom in further for you next time, boss. A video of me just using tools to use tools sounds like watching paint dry, but you keep asking ...
Some of us use thing a lot and dont have many scratches on it. I love my lights so much i use them only in a pocket without other stuff and im the only one that uses them.
No Ranger Bands? 😮
Do you prefer Gorilla Tape for that purpose?
I tend to use zip ties and tape more, yes
@@BestDamnEDC Right on. Thanks for the reply and all the quality content👊🏻
Is this a merse?
I dont know if you would even want to do something like this, but it would be super cool if you sold these entire premade kits on Carry Commission. I think they'd sell like wildfire.
It sounds really nice in theory but in practice it's a lot of coordination and a bit of a logistical nightmare. And there are some wholesale companies that forbid you from selling their products in "kits." That's not to say we won't or wouldn't, but it's a bit of a process for sure
This kit for example would be like $500 lol
@@kwiknikk I literally talked about how much it cost at the end of the video. It's half that...
@@BestDamnEDC well that makes me look silly now doesn't it. (I thought for a sec the arc was in it hehe)
@@BestDamnEDC Not that it really matters, but even if you ignore the small things like the zip ties/alcohol pads, very expensive pencil and not even getting into the items inside the pouch you're at $300 before tax lol. But I get it, it's a very cool kit and meant to give people ideas and I love the video. I just don't think it's realistic to sell them as kits like you said.
It’s pronounced knipex not knipex
Alright, Hermione 🪄
Hmm
What happened to Mod in a box?
nice pouch
Thanks, it’s a collaboration between Carry Commission and Blue Ridge Overland
I have been working on a similar concept, but instead of supplementing the multitool, I wanted to replace it. The idea has been shelved for now, unfortunately.
Knipex first before all else! Unless you need something else then use that.
They pronounce Las Vegas, Las Wegas, I'll pronounce it nypex.
What can you do with those tiny tools. Can you rebuild a car engine, or wire a house.
Odd jobs that come up often, unlike rebuilding a car or wiring a house... For big jobs, like any sensible person, I have a shop full of tools.
Hot damn.
Appreciate you watching 👊🏻
Besides the Knipex, I don’t like any of these other items.
Congrats
So you dont use plumbing pliers but you’ll use electrician scissors?
Erggh rage, fight about this in the comments
(Joke)
Kinpex is a German Company. Withe a K.
No tarp? 😂
I carry a pocket tarp in my back pocket
I love how defensive you are about every piece of gear, because we all know how ruthless the comment section is. Also love the gear thats there because they're from friends or because you had it and it's genuinely what you like and use
Russian, извини что на русском, если будет желание то добавь в набор ещё 3 предмета, 1) pry bar 4-5inch , 2) телескопический магнит и 3) на сам мультитул можно прикрепить два маленьких неодимовых магнитов они очень помогут когда придётся откручивать болтик и гайки
The edc space on social media is a weird one… on camera everyone is talking about how useful the clearly never used tools are….
But I enjoy watching these vids and collecting the shiny stuff…
i'm clearly not doing enough, because i don't know if i need a pouch like this...maybe i need a pouch like this
Knipex - I used to think it was just nipex, since that's what it would be in American English (e.g.: knife) but yes, it is KA-nip-ex!
Also, yea those are SNIPS, not scissors! (lol)
Oh and that little adjustable wrench, unless it is branded as such, is NOT a Crescent wrench! Crescent is a brand of tools, not a type of tool!
Great stuff as always, brother!
It is a Crescent brand wrench. Thanks for watching!

First you say in the ad that you forgot about your subscription and then you say that you never forget about your subscriptions and that you’ve been using rocket money for years
That particular subscription is an annual one for Geoguessr. Most are monthly and I don't check Rocket Money religiously. I check it every few months to make sure I'm not paying for something I don't want to. It's not that deep
@@BestDamnEDC Appreciate your reply. Sorry if I sounded rude. Have a great day.
King? King of what, dirty hits? Clowns?
Dude gets in his car and drives 1.7 miles to work in a city…every day. Literally NEVER needs, anything he just showed you..”do I lock pick all the time “?.. just get a pocket knife. It’s okay. We won’t be mad.

Mr Martin, you appear to be getting a bit salty with your fan base. This is not a good look on you. A good video though. I have the CC edc pouch and like it a lot. You are right it’s unusual size is a plus.
Ribbing back is being salty? Just having a laugh, man
lol being salty where??? The man is responding back in a funny to way some comments people say. That’s not being salty, that’s interacting, showing he reads the comments and remembers what his followers say and having fun with it. I think the way he acts is a great look! That’s why his channel keeps growing. If it wasn’t a good look, it would be shrinking. Don’t be weak bud. Watch and enjoy, educate yourself!
@@BestDamnEDChow dare you?
I know this is a nest of snakes to bring up but would Knipex be pronounced "Ny-Pex" like Knife or Knight? Seems like a silly debate. However Nike isn't said right, technically we should be spelling that one Nikey, like Mikey. The British say it right for how it's written. I am not a languagologist so who am I to say but just a thought (thawt?) ....... English is a silly language hahahahaha
It's German...
@@BestDamnEDC fair point…
@@BestDamnEDC OK, I asked my wife (she speaks German) and she informed me I was wrong because in German they would pronounce the K and the N in that word. Their word for Knight is "Knecht" and they would say the K and N sound in that word unlike English. So I must apologize, I was incorrect but I have been learned haha.
SOS😢
This company sucks. They are always sold out and their customer service is 💩
Snuck in a commercial at the beginning. I hate that! Thumbs down for you. Sorry.
NICE💯‼️
I had my hand on my wallet until I discovered the one thing i need. An organizer bag with belt loops. So close!
😂 sorry
@@BestDamnEDC Maybe an option in the future?
I don't know of one off the top of my head, but it's something I've mentioned to Jayberry of Tuff Possum before
@@BestDamnEDCWell, I would be interested. I currently own a Helikon Tex Bushcraft Line SERE belt bag. It has some organization but also space to drop stuff in. I am always looking for a belt bag more suited to today's EDC. Hope springs eternal! Perhaps you share this with Jayberry. Thanks for the consideration.
As someone who works in aviation hydraulics, Knipex adjustable wrenches were one of the first things recommended to me, and it’s possibly the tool i regret buying the least.
Hot damn.
You know it 🫡
