I bought mine at either Target or Staples, if that helps. They are labelled as "28mm Trombones" which is I think French for "paper clip with rounded ends". In Europe and other countries they come in alternate shapes I guess.

I dunno how many guitar picks I'd include into a "survival" kit, but I'd want a couple! I might forego the disposable plastic case opener pry tools and just go for a metal shim like an iSesame clone. The case openers are supposed to avoid marring the plastic but in a survival situation I'm more worried about getting the thing open without destroying the snaps so I don't have to waste resources like tape or glue closing them back up. A few scratches I don't care about. I'd probably aim for fewer do-more bits. Do I really need Gamebit driver capacity? Maybe? Probably not. TicTac bit storage would give you more room in that box for other tools on the driver side which might be worthwhile. Also, there are double-ended 4mm bits-but they don't fit most 4mm drivers, same way that the double-ended quarter inch Wiha bits don't, with similar workarounds.

I mean, I'm relatively sure the FBI probably knows that the scales come off a Victorinox knife. But this is actually seriously useful for "forget it until you need it" storage of documents. If you always have your Victorinox Companion with you (and you should anywhere you're legally permitted to), you'll have those files in a fairly robust form factor. What I'd use it for? ONE (of several) copies of my critical personal information. Medical records, insurance documents, photo evidence to go along with the insurance showing products, receipts, etc. Copies of digital photos I'd selected as "don't want to lose these ever", crypto key revocations generated in advance, that sort of thing. Emphasis on several copies. If my home burns to the ground or is destroyed by flood, earthquake, volcanic eruption, alien invasion, whatever … if I wasn't home, I'd have those documents and photos. Sure, at least one of the copies I'd absolutely have in an encrypted file stored "in the cloud", and of course I have those files at home. But that's three copies in potentially three locations using three different mediums. Can something destroy all three copies at once? YES! But that's far less likely to happen. And why not just keep it in my little microSD wallet card, since I absolutely have one of those? Because I recycle those microSD cards and their contents all the time. They're disposable and disposed of regularly, and sometimes when you're protecting your emergency resources secreted upon your person, you're protecting them from your own poor choices in the moment. I can pry the scales off my SAK with the scale removal tool (read: "toothpick"), but I don't. Just like a piece of Rite-in-the-Rain paper with phone numbers on it is a good thing to keep inside your phone case. You take your phone out of its case how often?
@naka-YAYA-plaza2 ай бұрын
Just a small suggestion. When measuring with the app, keep the phone flat and follow the ruler. The phone was way crooked and didn’t evenly follow the ruler. Just measured my tape measure AND ruler exactly at 12 inches. Definitely not worthless sir 👎

A way to store Vaseline is to make a mini grease gun by using a syringe. Take a needle less syringe of any size from 1 ml on up and melt the Vaseline so it's very liquid. Pull up the liquid and let it cool. I usually use at least a 3 ml syringe.
@MeZillch2 ай бұрын
Boy, lots of commenters freaked out that this kit contains a vial of white powder and now you want to add a syringe?! Ha ha, just kidding. I guess that would be a good way to carry Vaseline. Thanks. (I mostly travel by car so TSA inspection is not on my mind much.)
@momkatmax2 ай бұрын
@MeZillch It obviously would be too large for the tin. This is just a general tip to keep it handy in a tool kit. I know back in the 70s, kids claimed to mainline peanut butter, but it would be rather tricky to do that or Vaseline.

Like I mention at 0:29 you'll likely need two Torx 8 bit drivers to loosen it up for that flip open effect. For home use it works great but for pocket carry I later decided I liked it a bit stiffer so it wouldn't open up on its own in my pocket.

the mirror is an interesting idea but I think the blade itself is reflective enough to use as a signal mirror
@MeZillch4 ай бұрын
Thanks for your post. Admittedly little flexible mirrors are low quality but also not so hot are knife blades, even if they seem "mirror finish". What's important is not just the shiny sparkly aspect of a signaling mirror but also its DEAD flatness. Here's a test but please do it carefully because it involves holding the blade up close to your eye SO BE CAREFUL. Shine up the blade so it is nice and clean, as "mirror-like" as possible, and then hold it up close to your eye to use it as a rear-view mirror to look at objects 20 feet away or more. Notice how unlike a real mirror the images are very blurry? This proves the reflection of the sun off that surface will be diffuse and dim after about 20 feet as well, and will therefore be dim when attempting to flash a rescuer far away.

I just found thay if you barely open it, the same way you do, you can just use momentum and flip open with a jerking motion.
@MeZillch4 ай бұрын
True, that kind of works, but my method is not just "open it with one hand"; it is "open it with one hand directly into the in-use, scissor action grip (hand-powered open/close grip position)", in order to immediately put it into action without needing to let go of the work held in your other hand. All the methods I tried previously (to swing it open like a knife as you've mentioned) also tended to bash the back of my fingers/knuckles when it swung around and strikes the back of my hand. If it works for you though without this backlash, kudos.
