I use the Milwaukee fastback every day at work (construction). After a little break in period you can fling it open and close so easily you don't realize it anymore. It's honestly replaced my pocket knife for 95% of my daily uses. I've had the same one for the last few years and the biggest issue is needing to tighten the clip once so it doesn't come off my belt. I use a slightly thicker version that can carry an additional 4 blades in storage and has a notch on the back of the handle so you can cut twine without having to open the blade up at all. Maybe adds half an inch of width bulk if you are worried about that sort of thing.
I figured this would be the case with the opening, it definitely got easier the more I broke it in. Almost got the version with the notch, definitely seems useful and I love the idea of extra blade storage, especially for construction work. Thanks for the insights and support!
So considering the AirPods talk, you should make a pnw playlist that matches the vibe of exploring out your way. And share it with us! I’d love an episode on what you’re listening to!
I actually had one I maintained and posted in my videos years ago, that would be really fun to bring back! I’ll start saving some songs and see where it goes, thanks for the support!
The hook on your Swiss Army is traditionally for crocheting. Same goes for the poking tool, that has a sewing hole in order to perform repairs, or other needle work. As someone who's camped before, you're forced to repair tears in materials for your tent, kot, shoes, patches, etc. , and it assists in those repairs in a pinch. The crochet hook is very large for usual uses, but that's so it can have multiple purposes as you've described. Those Army Knives are utility tools you'd have to otherwise carry repair kits for, and those tools allow you to craft new gear or repair stuff before your mission is over.
Crocheting definitely makes sense. I knew about the awl/poker, but the combo definitely adds some clarity. Appreciate the insights on this one!
Actually, I did some research and it seems the hook is actually purposed originally for dislocating cartridges for firearms, and was later placed in designs (like a handle) to be for holding stringed packages. That's originally what it was designed for, but I've always seen people in the field or people who camp use it for crocheting in a pinch, so they don't have to carry additional kits, since every bit of weight counts. Apologies for being stupid@@joshfenn
The fastback with the screwdriver has been my favorite around the house/garden tool. 🙂
They’re very hard to find in the wild. I was lucky to find one and I absolutely love it
I’ll have to keep an eye out for it! Seems like they make a ton of variants when I was looking into it
@@joshfenn the fastback 1505. It’s by far the best utility knife
Great set of recommendations. I filed down the parcel hook for use as a small pry bar . I love my anker 3-1 .
The 3 in 1 is solid! Always impressed with Anker, sponsored or not. Pry bar mod sounds really interesting too! Probably wouldn’t be too much trouble to do either
The Super Tinker is one of my favourites but you might also want to check out the Climber. Exact same tool set expect it swaps the Philips head for the classic corkscrew. Even if you don’t need it to open wine it has a few advantages. It allows you to fit the micro screwdriver which as a glasses wearer could be handy. You can also put some tinder in there to go with the fero rod you mentioned. Aside from that it can be good for undoing tight knots. The hook on the back is traditionally a parcel hook, so you’d use it of you had a stack of newspapers or a parcel tied with string to carry them more comfortably. Some people use it the same way to carry groceries. I used it most recently when our bath panel got pushed in slightly. The gap was too small to get a finger in but that hook worked a treat.
Great tips with the corkscrew version, love these ideas. I had figured since I wouldn’t need the wine opener it would be better to swap but the tinder idea to match the ferro rod sounds really great.
@@joshfenn Yeah, the Philips head is nice to have but not sure if you know but the tip of the can opener can be used as one in a pinch. Works quite well.
I feel you on the water. I’m from a city that has been voted best tasting tap water from Forbes on multiple occasions. You take it for granted until you go somewhere else and fill up your water bottle and immediately pour it out after taking a sip. I never understood why people paid for bottled water until I started frequently traveling to Texas.
So true! Michigan water wasn’t great, but always tolerable in most cities. Moving out to Portland and getting used to our water has really spoiled me though, whenever I travel it’s always so disappointing haha. The filter bottles have been working pretty well for me though!
Enjoyed this list! Some great picks
Thanks so much!
Another excellent video. Since you're into utility blades as of late, I recommend Exceed Designs TiRant Razer V3. It's the most useful item I EDC in my pocket. Im definitely interested in the Anker charger. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words and the rec! Definitely making a note to check out the TiRant.
Something budget I've added to my EDC recently is a pen. I am still not on the edc notebook club, but I carry a pen mostly to fidget and for the occasional form. The Papermate InkJoy gel 0.7 retractable goes for 8 ish dollars for a pack of four, and they are really nice. It sates my need for a writing/fidget/pointing instrument without breaking the bank.
I go back and forth with pens myself too, I carry one on occasion but they don’t always leave my home office. I’ll have to try this one out though, my go-to budget pen has been the uniball jetstream for quite a few years
Great video. You should test the RFID blocking in the wallet. Maybe next time you fill up or stay in a hotel. My wife had her card "borrowed" wirelessly using an RFID blocking wallet. We have since moved to a card that emits a blocking signal. I tried that out and it worked well.
RFID testing would be a great addition to my process! Always tough with these sorts of things to know if they’re actually true or not. Love the idea of a proper signal blocking card though, I’ll have to check into that as well
Good deal on the sling-adding any kind of waterproofing or extra ruggedness tends to raise the cost. Its shocking that the Super Tinker is so cheap! Its nice to have that many tools for camping. The Armbar Trade has more features than I would expect for that pricepoint, definitely gonna have to look at the current Armbar versions.
So glad you enjoyed all of it! Totally agree on everything you said, I had a blast sourcing and testing everything for this one
Check out the pocket clip add on that you can pick up for the Swiss Army knife, it’s about 20 bucks and really is a nice touch for edc. Thanks!
That looks perfect. Definitely making a note, thanks for the rec!
I believe that poker on the Victorinox knife is an awl used for hole making and sjodding, and the hook is for knots. Undoing or tightening lacing. (Think skates)
I knew for the awl, but skate/boot laces with the hook makes total sense. Thanks for letting me know!
I just bought the same sojos sunglasses because the article one x mission is sold out on huckberry. Are the glasses about the same size? I’m hoping the article ones are a little bigger. Keep up the good work. Love this channel!
They’re pretty close in size from what I can tell, don’t have the measurements on hand but they look the same (for sizing) at a glance.
i've seen some youtubers using the Hook Tool as a holder for Saw-Blades.
Haven’t heard that one before! Seems like most folks are mentioning boot and skate laces, saw blade is interesting though
I carry a Climber SAK and just used my parcel hook to fish charging cables and wires through the holes in the back of new furniture.
That’s a great idea! Definitely keeping it in mind, I’m always trying to rework my setups and cable management
Ive got the fast back 6 in 1 great tool
I’ll have to grab another sometime! Tons of variants from what I can tell
Have you looked into the Victorinox Swiss Cards? I don't like any bulk in my pockets and this solved that issue for me. I have the Lite variety and love it.
I have! Been a while since I’ve talked about them but I love mine. Kind of forgot it was victorinox actually since it’s such a departure from the usual SAK’s
@@joshfenn That's a great example of innovating while keeping the DNA of your heritage intact. Great channel, Josh.
Thank you!
Great suggestions, as usual!
I have a Dewalt folding knife similar the Milwaukee you featured.
Herschel makes some great wallets and the lower price is a win for sure.
Anker products are usually always a great pick, I use many at home.
Keep in mind "on a budget' does not mean 'cheap'.
Totally agree on the budget vs cheap debate! I’ve always been a big advocate for inventing in quality to be frugal and save money and hassle in the long term, always nice when the ‘right’ choice happens to be inexpensive as well.
Appreciate the support on this one!
I love the super tinker
It’s been great!
Any suggestions on over ear headphones for gym use? Any suggestions on mp3 players thatre bluetooth capable and usbc rechargeable plugged? Trying to cut down on variety of plugs since I just got an ipad mini that has usbc! But I dont like to stream music, off my phone, and sometimes I am so remote in my hijet or hiace, I cant stream anything hahaha. I need to learn how to emulate so I can take n64, ps1, ps2, gamecube, and other classic games when I am on one of my props which has no internet or anything haha. I usually run an n64 my daughter got for me new in box from a gaming thrift store in japan, and I play golden eye, and other old games haha. She got me an snes, but I havent gotten any games yet. But everyones telling me to do emulation so I can have variety when I am on my prop for weeks at a time.
My summer carry right now are as follows:
evergoods mhp in their brown color, dark angel medical kit, extra tq, some extra packing etc booboo stuff, an anker power bank, a 65watt charger brick, cheap skullcandy usbc headphones sync to a sandisk bluetooth mp3 player. Doesnt use usbc, uses an older micro usb? user interface is tedious. I was using an older samsung s7 with a 500fb microsd for music before, but it wont hold a charge anymore haha. tethered usbc fenix light thats red colored meant for a keychain i think just got and tossed onto there. I have a small pad that can be left out with my battery bank to charge it, but takes all day. I keep a small bible in there. food bar, lolipops, gum, sunblock, handsanitizer, dusk mask, and earplugs, a guy I met at a knife show in texas gifted me a titanium zippo with a mountain, trees, sun, called pdw, and has an electric insert? Its usbc was from a shop in hong kong. cable is a high watt for got whom from on amazon... able to charge my ipad very quickly. I keep mechx gloves, thick neon green gloves, doggie poop bags, a trash bag cause I clean random trails and parkways when I see they are filthy, I got a cheap (prob mfr in same factory as hydroflask) 20oz hydro flask looking bottle from ross for 3.99 vs 25 at rei. Lastly, a write in rain notebook and pen, orange, love high vis. Have a leatherman surge on my belt, also an old rat cutlery co rat 3 Ive had I think for 15-20 years? I cant remember... I also keep a 44mag colt on my hip around my property, and a 44mag henry x lever rfl in my hijet or the acty or etc trucks. Recently though my kids have had me using a 10mm for my wandering protecting haha. More capacity they say.
I use a 2000L coast headlamp I got on clearance at home depot before for 12, I think it was originally 70 bucks? I cant remember, but I also got their TX22R, the big light, 5000L which sits on my trucks dash. Trying to save money so went away from mac, snap on, etc.
For my kei trucks been building them dedicated on trail tool kits, went to harbor freight, and have to say, complete metric stuff, everything, didnt break the bank! M12 Milwaukee seems to be the ticket for my portable power tool needs for those! Need to wait for black friday sales!
Love all the detail with everything, thanks so much for sharing!
I don’t really know of any mp3 players these days, it’s been quite a few years since I looked into the category. I also spend a lot of time away from internet and cell service and usually just download directly to my phone, but I can see the appeal of a dedicated player too.
For headphones, I have mostly used earbuds for quite a while, but really enjoyed the Sony XM4’s when I tested them. They have the newer XM5 but the price can be steep. If you’re okay with open back wired headphones I have the sennheiser HD6XX. Incredible sound and value but not great for travel with the wires, they live at my desk for editing audio. Haven’t tried the over ear soundcore headphones but their speakers and earbuds have both been great - might be worth checking into.
Hope this helps!
Glad you're in the Victorinox club!
Me too!
Milwaukee fast back is Amazing!!!
For sure!
I carry a victorinox compact along with knipex pliers daily. I have moderate nerve damage in my hands from injuries over the years so during hockey season I use the parcel hook on the compact to help tighten or loosen skate laces.
Someone else mentioned using it for boot laces too, I hadn’t thought of that!
Now please do something similar with clothes because I think you have good style. Thanks!
I’ve made quite a few wardrobe/apparel videos this year! RUclips doesn’t seem to want to pick them up though, definitely have more planned for this year
I always thought the hook was for tightening boot laces 🤷🏼♀️
Great idea too! I didn’t find a ton of info for it online but figured between the group we’d have some fun use cases.
Oh, I love that water bottle. I got one myself.
It’s so nice! Hoping they make a UV cap/design for this form factor soon, I alternate between the two and it’d be nice to have all the features with this newer design
@@joshfenn oh yeah, that would be great
When it comes to best value sunglasses: hawkers!
Making a note to check them out, thanks for the rec!
@@joshfenn wow, did not expect you to actually read that comment. as we are speaking, i have also a recommendation for very underrated anc in ear headphones:
libratone air+ 3. they have excellent sound quality, very good anc and are by far the most comfortable for me to wear. and the design is right on top!
Making a note of those as well, the design looks great. Appreciate the recommendations!
Super Tinker is the GOAT
Definitely see why everyone loves it, great for the price too
hey josh, a long time ago maybe 2 years ago you made a video about unique edc gear. I felt like it was filled with gear that wasn’t unique and pretty standard. I remember you took my criticism really well and said you’d try to improve. I’ve loved your last few videos! I 100% see you listening more to your comments and really see you engaging more with what we ask to see so I appreciate that and am really thankful to have you posting videos consistently thanks for dropping this video you put me onto a few things!
Glad to hear this! Always happy to take actual feedback and criticism (not trolling) and I’m always doing my best to source fun gear and make the videos better and better. Happy to know you’re enjoying them more, thanks for the support!
About the knife. U don't know how to open it.
Probably
@@joshfennflick it hard. If you keep your hands tight and stop your wrist fast it’ll flick right open
You don't know how to spell you
cant believe you are recommending a racist company like north face. smh
Haven’t heard anything, what happened with north face?
