@@iiwarlordii4858 I gotta mess with it some more. Honestly the retention was the one thing holding me back from making this a staple in the carry rotation. Same on the ulti clip ✊🏽

@@iiwarlordii4858 I’ve found that my local Walmarts have the orange ones back in stock ✊🏽

@@iiwarlordii4858 there was a Swiss tech one?!?! Man I missed the boat on that one

@@NotYourGrandpasEDC aww man you’ll definitely have to find it! Same price as the Civivi box and comes with a mini bit driver, a keychain sized sharpener, and the Winzig knife. Solid little knife same quality to there wurdig which is also offered at Walmart

@@NotYourGrandpasEDC it’s called the Tragen kit

@@iiwarlordii4858 I appreciate you man! If I can find one I’ll definitely grab it for the channel. Thank you

@@NotYourGrandpasEDC you might have luck checking your clearance isle! I seen some people finding the Christmas boxes there

@@travisrose2277 not a fan? Wanting some insight, what are some of the cons to tip up?

@NotYourGrandpasEDC they seem more dangerous to carry. I don't want to slice my hand open reaching into my pocket in the event the detent fails and let's the blade come open. Tip-down is also easier and quicker to deploy, since I don't have to fiddle with it and rotate it 180° before deploying.

@valid 👍🏽 thank you

@@NotYourGrandpasEDC you're welcome. And your video was good, my critique was of the knife and nothing else. I've just watched a couple of your EDC kits from stores for $50 and liked them. I've subscribed and look forward to more content going forward.

@ thank you very much! I’m happy you like them. I will be posting another edc haul tomorrow 👍🏽

@@damianborsalino6213 man that’s awesome! Happy you were able to still find one in stock. They’re hard to come by now

@@MonumentHeatandAirLLC happy you like it! Cold steel has some solid stuff in the budget range.

@@ghudgefilms2308 thank you very much ✊🏽

@np

@@ballisticlt7452 man, talk about a deal! That’s awesome

@@RoamingOutward much appreciated! 👍🏽

@@overlandedc great perspective! The other benefits of cheap knives is that you can actually learn to sharpen for those that don’t know how without worrying about messing up your expensive blade

@@SolarKoNg8512 very well said. $10 for this knife is a steal. I’m happy that they’re finally starting to restock them.

@@griftgfx I’d have to agree. $25? Sure. $50? No way, far better options at that price point. 👍🏽

@@NotYourGrandpasEDC I keep mine in my laptop bag along with some precision bits. It's a pretty good packable needle nose light duty plier at least, but I basically never use any of the other implements anymore.

@ can’t say I blame you, mine stays in the collection only for reference at this point. I hope to see something compete with it at this size in the near future.

@@ItsMeEbby thank you 🙏🏽 and I’m happy you like yours!

@@starwarsfan7180 civivi didn’t make enough😐

@@geraldroberts4721 I couldn’t believe it myself

After Christmas they were $10 at my local Walmart. I bought all 4 to give away as gifts.

@@JohnHolt-j5f this may take you by surprise but outside of leatherman I really like mossy oak and ozark trail. Ozark Trail because I’ve had a few and they last. Mossy oak because of project farms video. The other option you have is to search the used market for a leatherman. Here recently I found a new in box leatherman signal for 80 (140 in stores)

@@MonumentHeatandAirLLC we’ll be announcing the giveaway rules as we get closer to the 1k mark! Stick around, there will be several winners 👍🏽

@@NotSponsoredJustBroke excellent question. If it’s gonna be a hard work knife I like the civivi Incindie. If we need something a little bit cheaper I would say the Placoid. Both are made with 14C28N. Very strong steel. Hope this helps sir ✊🏽

I would recommend a partially serrated blade for what you stated your work is. The only civivi i have is mini praxis. I love it for edc but i would not call it a work knife.

@@larryvincent1083 if it serves you well, nothing else matters ✊🏽 I love that Amazon puts it on sale from time to time.

@@ralphmulet very comparable! 👍🏽

@@Tusk2001 SAME! I’ve been looking for months!

It was available to order online before Christmas.

@@EvilTwinRC51 wow, I wonder why they limited it. It’s a solid knife

@@NotYourGrandpasEDC it’s like the holiday packs that kershaw releases around Christmas. Same thing with the Ozark trail and mossy oak sets. Just for the holidays and next year they will have a new set

@@AlexisDanage-pena cool little bundle here and I’m happy I was able to find some for the giveaway!

@@davidhawthorne9637 I understand your sentiment, but the point of this series is to get all five items under $50. I don’t like the flashlight choice either. Better flashlights will be shown later in time. I’ll probably even do a video where I choose the best item from each EDC bundle. At the end of the day, these aren’t my end all be all tools. These are all items I will be giving away when the series is complete.

@@geraldroberts4721 not a bad idea! Thank you sir 👍🏽

I was getting ready to type the same exact thing. I had bought the power pint and returned it due to its size. I now walk around with a leatherman signal and completely love it. Use it on a regular basis throughout my day. Although just last week my vehicle had blown a fuse that was tucked behind multiple wires and my leatherman felt like it was too big for the task. All of a sudden I was wishing I had had kept the power pint in my edc/work bag. I may dabble around next Black Friday and pick one up for the 25 dollar price tag and stick it in an altoid tin with some bits.

@ the Altoid can with bits may be the way to go. I’m happy you get use of out the signal but I’m sorry to hear about your rough experience. Hopefully down the line leatherman brings back a small keychain multi tool

@@michaelbonanno9491 I understand it’s different for everyone. So I kept it down to the things I carry daily. I know this doesn’t fit everyone’s needs, in the first video to the series. I explained that it’s trying to possibly replace some of my things that I carry daily. Or at least seeing what else is out there at a competitive price. The multi tool is for the pliers everything else to me is a bonus and redundant. I think cheap flashlights are a good idea and I’ll be reviewing some of those shortly. The multitool has the bits, but if I’m being honest, I don’t think they’re as substantial as a regular screwdriver. I get that some people will need pry bars, tape measures and other objects I don’t use daily. I figured this would be a cool way to show alternatives to my carry.

@@michaelbonanno9491 and perhaps I should’ve reemphasize some of this at the beginning of this video like I did in the Walmart one

@@christophwilhelm6431 agreed. It would be nice to see one in an updated steel.

@@NotYourGrandpasEDC The justification is it's small and it can't be used that hard, but the real reason is profit margin.... no matter how small it is it serves no purpose when the edges fold over.

5cr and paper thin implements. They're barely tools.

@@tx.tactical3165 I agree

@@Rankin-z4n thank you very much 🙏🏽

I am a big fan of Budget EDC gear. I have been a mechanic for 40+ years. So I know good deals and bad deals

@ well then I’m happy you found my channel! I love budget gear and reviewing it✊🏽 and please know that I always appreciate the comments and support

@@Rezigunn 100% agreed. If people can find it around or under that $30 mark then I can recommend it otherwise there’s better options.

@josephbrown2583 haha I guess they several multiple purposes. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@beaglemit that’s not a bad idea! I think I’ll make a video for that one down the road! Just as cool and more probable of getting some use.

@@Robert-wt5jw I think you’re right I got confused with the sling bag! Thank you very much, going forward I will correct that

@@EddietheApe everyone knows Adamantium is the only way to go😂 my wife’s philosophy on buying knives is to get ones she thinks look cool and when I think about it, that’s probably the most valid reason there is ✊🏽😂

@@FrugalShave someone else had commented that they found them on Amazon for $10. At that price point we’d be better off going with a full-size utility folder.

@@mattalorian13 i’ll be picking up one of these for the channel! Thank you for the I sight. You’re dropping gems left and right out here✊🏽

LOL I have owned one for Years and never noticed.

@@mattalorian13 you may have just taught us all something new. I can’t find that as a use in the description of the product online so you may have discovered a new use for the tool. Thank you ✊🏽

@NotYourGrandpasEDC Glad to help. You could make a little YT Short displaying the extra feature. Not sure why they don't advertise it on the packaging or the product page

@ I definitely will when I get home. Thank you ✊🏽

@@calebfletcher2229 thank you sir✊🏽 same here. Hopefully in a few weeks so that we can get this giveaway going

@@SometimesDIY I feel like buck has been working with those low end steels for so long that they have a good grasp on maximizing their capabilities. Nothing wrong with 440✊🏽

Anything can get sharp in 5 minutes if you have the right equipment, and don't care how many likes your edge gets from internet strangers. Hell, even without the right tools... My work knife is S90V and I can take it from a completely rounded edge to scrape shaving sharp with sandpaper, in about 90 seconds.

I like many of the different steels and use different one for certain uses or conditions. Of the 3 characteristics of knife steels, I'm least concerned with corosion resistance as it's the only one I can mitigate (oil). D2 for my everyday knives that I beat the hell out of and not hesitate to use for almost anything. 154CM, S30V, S35VN and Magnacut for regular edc stuff where I only use my knives for knife stuff, lol. Looking forward to reading comments on this topic, cool to see other folks takes on this subject. Great content as usual, thanks for sharing.

@ thank you as always Gerald ✊🏽 i’m like you when it comes to having my favorites. In fact, our lists are almost identical. I hope we get some more comments on this as well.

@@carolinagirl3110 thank you very much ✊🏽

@@Rezigunn thank you very much! In all honesty I feel the same way when it comes to buying in store. I’m happy you enjoy these ✊🏽

​@@NotYourGrandpasEDC now I do think that once you run out of box stores you should do something along the lines of combining which tools from which stores to have the best overall kit for that 50 dollar budget

@ that would be tough! I like the idea but I have noticed that some of these great finds end up taking the majority of the budget like the Gordon multi tool did here. But I think I will show who had the best item for each individual category before mailing them off in the giveaway

@@PineSap it’s a bad habit I need to break. While I am working inside of a large metal tray here, I notice I tend to do that on all packages. While I do feel more control over the blade, it isn’t good practice. Thank you, I’ll work on it going forward.

@@NotYourGrandpasEDC Its not the worst habit to have, its mainly taught to kids as they don't have great motor control. I tend to hold the blade in a reverse grip with my thumb and cut up and to the right

@@va9249 great question and absolutely not. I believe there are diminishing returns after that $100-$150 mark. For Utility purposes I like knives right around the $50 price point.

@@starwarsfan7180 thank you 🙏🏽
