    They started putting bottle openers on lights? We're doomed!
    Lights were the only thing free of bottle openers...

    This is a solid pickup, I'm still a little blown away it came from Ace. I find something here and there at my local Ace but would've never thought I could find everything to put together a complete edc.
    Good job again.

      @NotYourGrandpasEDC As you were making your selections, I was seeing alot of cool stuff my Ace doesn't carry. I could only assume what a person could put together with a higher budget. For those that think your flashlight selection doesn't have enough lumens, my edc flaslight has 45 lumens (I think) and it's plenty for bumbling around the house in the morning and finding the lock on my truck while half asleep. That pen you chose is now on my radar too.
      Solid content, thanks for sharing.

    60 lumens for a flashlight isn't bad. I served in the Marine Corps 2000-2004, and I carried a SureFire that produced 65 lumens with 2 CR123 batteries. Outdated by today's standards, but it was high tech at the time.

      @NotYourGrandpasEDC I carried a SureFire Z2 Combat. It was advertised as being issued to the FBI. As purchased, it gave 65 lumens with a 60 minute run time. But the reflector could be replaced with a high output bulb that pushed 120 lumens with a 20 minute run time.

    I dont know if you have any in your area, but I've found that Ross (Yes, Ross Dress for Less) has a little tool section. I have come across basically everything on your list for these videos, but its mostly luck of the draw to see what each store has.
    Every now and then, you can find name brand stuff that is put on discount due to rebranding or whatever it may be. I've seen Klein Tools, Stanley, and Irwin. Its become my new place to peruse every now and then.
    I think if you get a chance, it would be cool to see what you can find. That would be a curveball to this video series for sure
