I've got a small suggestion... You've been doing these various complete carry vids for a while, but from what I can tell, you guys don't actually pocket the carry to see how it all fits together. I'd suggest carrying the loadout for a week or so to see if you get any additional insights rather than a strictly product overview. Just my 2 cents. Cheers boys.

Id really like to see you look at key solutions that involve a car key with its fob and everything. I normally only carry a single plain metal key, then a car key with its larger plastic base and the separate fob. I haven't found anything other than just a old fashioned normal keybring that really works for that type of setup.

It don't have to be so bloated. You have a phone with you, you have a flashlight. You have a multi tool, you have a knife. If you buy a Victorinox and add the plus scales you even have a pen. Add a EDC pouch as a wallet and key holder and you should be well under 100 bucks and can maybe add a cheap small power bank for your phone. - your phone - zero bucks (Flashlight) - cheap mini power bank with cord 10-15$ (ever had you phone dead with no charger in reach?) - Victorinox Compact (Pen, Knife, Multitool) 50$ - EDC pouch with key holder as in Alpaka Zip Pouch 25$ (add a key ring 1$) - Optional: Pliers as in Nextool Mini Flagship 15-30$
If you want a no smudge pen for lefty’s I HIGHLY recommend Zennyth pens. About $8 for a 5 pack. 0.05 tip gel pens.

Powerpint pliers are fine, but the knife and tools are not good as they are too small. A good Phillips 2 is key for me, and I am not a huge fan of the leatherman flat bits, but they are a minimum. $200 I am getting a bond and a pocket clip, a jetsetter, a Rovyvon A3, whatever pen I find at my house 😂, whatever key ring I have, and spend the rest on a nice wallet and cheap knife. For the most part, I don’t carry a separate knife which I know is heresy, but arc/curl/P2 or even bond is enough knife for me. If I want to go lighter, I leave the multitool at home and carry one of my benchmades (make fun of me for spending too much money😂).
