25 Keychain Tools: Leatherman, Spyderco, Exotac Firesteel, Lighters, Carabiners, Pry Tools and More

[@michaelselby6102]

I watch a lot of EDC channels but this one is my new favorite. I added a couple of new tools, which really surprised me; I rarely add anything to my EDC. Thanks!

[@mikealba1235]

Thank you dude! That was an excellent review and I love your cadence. You are fast but smooth and leave out a lot of extraneous “speak” that isn’t necessary. Well done.

[@TheLimhammett]

Finally! A perfect video for my needs! Thank you for making this!

[@samsum3738]

I own the sak classic . Great little multi tool . In the 6 years i have carried it , i must have used it a thousand times or more .

[@rickyhurtt5568]

I've got a shard I've been carrying for years. Handy little tool for what it is

[@DanielELnabbout]

coming back to your videos after 5 years

[@SoCalPatriot81]

looking forward to the flashlight keychain video.

[@stevebean1234]

Gerber Shard is perhaps one of the best value items I've ever bought.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Cool throughout the years I think I had most of them I have to go through my keychain carry again thanks bud

[@l.nassah6728]

I like the Viva and the Olight carabineer too. Great video

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Yeah I like both of those as well actually. I love the little blade.

[@arctodussimus6198]

I bought a Numyth Tohil Lighter at the Blade Show in 2015. Still carry it today. I’m on the second wick, and countless flints. It’s gone months without being used, and has never failed to work.

[@mattconklin4026]

I like that ticked off ! I gatta get one, I'm always out in the woods here in WNC with my dog, luckily ticks aren't that bad, compared to living in NJ where ticks were everywhere

[@krrubby]

The Gerber clutch, I’d definitely recommend the knife on it. It was the first multi-tool I got for Christmas at 4 years old from my dad. Cut nearly half my finger off a day later and had to get 7 stitches. It’s a good tool!

Outstanding Video.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks.

[@kaizoebara]

I've been carrying a Leatherman Squirt PS4 in the old version w/o scissors and it has never let me down. The chisel ground knife blade is great for sharpening pencils without having to dirty up your main knife.

[@OutsideTheTargetDemographic]

They got inside an AR15 grip perfectly.

[@toddcarr.]

Cool vid. I Keep a Gerber dime in my pocket attached to a mini flashlight, my keychain carabiner has a small knife built into it. Never leave home without them.

[@aaqe92837]

Great video 💯

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks Ahmed.

[@ZAZAP]

Great video bro.

[@danielsevell5732]

I highly recommend the fenix e03r as an edc keychain light. I use it even when I have a larger light available, that's how good it is!

[@DiggingtheJive]

I carry a Victorinox Manager on my keychain. It’s like the Classic SD but adds a pen and cap lifter/Phillips screwdriver (with magnetised tip). I also carry a Leatherman Squirt PS4 in my purse.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for sharing this.

[@OutsideTheTargetDemographic]

I have both too. Manager on my personal and work keys, Squirt fits inside an AR15 grip for field work.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

That gerber shard saved me going hungry at work once the ring pull on my canned tuna pulled off so I managed to grip the little nub on the can with the shards V and pull the lid open

[@garymorton6877]

Leatherman Squirt - on my keys for years now. Goes everywhere, does everything.

[@charlescollier7217]

Thanks, Tim. I have the Shard and the NanoStriker on my keychain - the Shard comes in pretty handy every now and then. I used to carry the SwissTech Utilikey as well, but nixed it a good while back. I carry less on my keychain now, because I have been carrying a SAK all the time on a belt pouch and put my keychain light there.

[@paulchakola7372]

I was not aware of the existence of the Spyderco Bug, I am now aware and stoked.

[@horiyosi3309]

Cold steel micro reckon. Also I might not like Gerber but the zip one is a pretty useful little blade.

[@bayraktar219]

Nite ize has a lot of useful stuff

[@keysersoze503]

Good video! You covered a lot of options in a short time.

[@Maximooforyou]

Love the Gerber shard. Found another you tube video showing you how to put paracord on it...obviously not a long length but a nice piece should you need it with the added bonus that it makes it nicer to grip if using it to pry.

[@marko11kram]

The Kershaw Cinder is also a nice keychain knife

[@colorpagan]

Very cool stuff. I didn't know that there was that much stuff out there. I have some of the knifes.

[@vancej.5686]

I can’t find the Minute Key online! Damn. Really like the looks of that one. Useful.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Lowe’s. I can send you a link.

[@vancej.5686]

Awesome! I tried checking their site but couldn’t find it. A link would be great, thank you so much!

[@Heizenberg32]

The Cinch-a-lot I had was a much larger version. I put my travel mug in the "cinch" end and a larger carabineer on the other. I would attach to my tool bag or (when my hands were full) right onto a belt loop.

[@longviewstud26]

Excellent video. Thank you

[@danduane1413]

Great video. IMHO, I would have added the Leatherman Micra

[@michelroubos8440]

Great video, nice options. I've the gerber Shard, the Vic Classic and a Fenix E01 flashlight on my keychain, love them all but the Shard is genius

[@darthblade2016]

I have my main keys in a KeyBar, but i have had a Leatherman Brewzer on my keys for over 10 years and it has come in handy so many times. I also like the Tec accessories glow tube and the Olight i1R 2.

[@PlanetG-jd7fe]

2 years old, but still a good video.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks man - working on a new one soon.

[@dhruvgalaiya8766]

Hi. The Carabiner that you are showing at 5:07 is in fact a Munkees Carabiner. Have one exactly like that but in black.

[@FAngus-ly8lk]

I've had a Leatherman Squirt PS4 on my keychain for more than a year. It's just an ideal compact pocket tool. Most of the time I don't notice I'm carrying it. I'm never without my keys, so I'm never without a useful blade, scissors, pliers, a couple of little screwdrivers and a nailfile. It's small, but rugged and well-made, and it saves me from having to carry a larger pocketknife or tool. Lately a lens keeps popping out of my glasses (I'm overdue for a new pair), and the PS4 has been quite handy as a repair tool.

[@debbiekerr3989]

I really enjoyed your video, and my must have is the squint I'm never without it. I also have the rescue me tool, and I bought one for my nephew. They are a great option for anyone.

[@michaelcariello6233]

Exotac needs to make a case for the mini bic to put on key chain.

[@PrepperRuss]

Love that Olight Multitool Carabiner Keychain but cant find it anywhere. If you ever dig it up again, please let me know where to buy one. Cheers!

[@dianasimon2060]

Bottle openers not needed any more. Replace with something more functional.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

You know 90% of the time I agree with you and then this past week I needed one multiple times.

[@corycg9624]

Got to have at least one small pair of locking pliers locking pliers are really handy.

[@matthewbrown6163]

I carry the tiny Victorinox knife Classic SD & have used it often to fix sunglasses, adjust camera lenses & even fix electronics.

[@sierraecho884]

The Gerber Dime tool is the best keychain tool in my opinion.

[@jjackflash8907]

An 8 to 10 inch lanyard on your keys makes your keys a very effective flail, a stike to the face with a bunch of keys really works well.

[@tidge879]

I've got one of the leatherman styles, and the spring on the scissors has broken 3 times. The weird thing is that it's never been when I was using the tool, but when I've taken it out of my pocket I've noticed that the spring has snapped. No idea why, but it keeps happening!

[@michaelrossi3707]

Yup. Me too

[@brimstone33]

Me too. Pulled it out and the spring was broken. Sent it back for repair the first time, Leatherman decided to return the "electrician" version. After going through three of them I switched to the Gerber Dime.

[@Heizenberg32]

@@brimstone33 I carry the Style most days, but switch it out for the Dime occasionally. The only time I had to contact the manufacturer of either tool was for the same reason: Lost tweezers. Leatherman gave me the option to ship in the whole tool for a warranty claim, or to buy replacement tweezers out-of-pocket. Needing to mail them the tool just so they could pop in a set of tweezers was pretty silly. It was my own fault for losing the tweezers, so I will credit them for at least having options for me. But I never bothered to follow through. Gerber never replied to me. A new set of tweezers just showed up in the mail a couple of weeks later! So, I will give the win to Gerber's customer service over Leatherman's, in this instance

[@halosrusty]

@@brimstone33 how do you find the Gerber Dime

[@rudithedog7534]

Nice informative article, just wondering how many keys do you have

[@caivsivlivs]

haha i had utilikey in my mind when i started watching this vid and was hoping it'd co me up

[@tacticalceo685]

Great video as always keep them coming sir .

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for checking it out.

[@ThatImmo]

I bought CRKT Eat'N Spork on a whim when buying my EDC utility pouch, because I had those "yogurt thoughts" ;) Haven't tested it out in the field, but your short review convinced me I did the right thing getting it.

[@flowerfire7]

Good

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for watching

[@laurabrown8886]

Wonder if cutting a notch in a plastic teaspoon would work on ticks same as the tick remover.

[@b.z.5383]

Great video! Do you have any other suggestions for good quality carribeaners to attach to my belt loops and hold my edc keychain tools?

[@CRSMSN]

S biner has a lot of good smaller stuff

[@c3corvettel-824]

Bone Tactical has great options as well.

[@ephemeralnihilist]

Love my bone breaker micro

[@coopers1716]

The v-shape carved out of the tip of pry-tools is for getting under nail heads- picture the backend of a carpenter's hammer.

[@mickyashey9818]

THE NITE IZE BRAND IS WHAT GOT ME INTO EDC STUFF SINCE THEY HAVE SOOOO MANY GOOD THINGS, but I wanted to mention there’s ALSO A BIGGER CINCH-Strap which I use for water bottles it’s GREAT!!! Also that NO NAME carabiner tool, what you called PRY SECTION is actually a SPOKE WRENCH...

[@generalbubba435]

After some use you’ll find that most of their stuff is just a gimmick. Wait till you use one of the sbiners & it fails this simple task and you loose your keys or whatever you were hanging on it. I found the best biners come from the hardware store & are weight rated. With these your keys etc won’t accidentally fall off.

[@joevincenttitular7564]

Can the carabiner at 5:00 be use to cut loose threads?

[@luc1ferblack]

true utility in the uk do some cool stuff very similar. they do a nice slim knife and a mini rechargeable torch and a stupid strong black carabineer that i should have kept

[@40belowful]

have you ever seen the leatherman style ? its a cool keychain tool

[@suem3980]

Thanks for your recommendations. I have a Gerber mullet which is like the shard, I think. Also, I have a nite ize doohickey which is compact yet useful.

I’ve had my spiderco bug for about 6 years ok my keychain now, it’s only come off for sharpening, 100% gets my recommendation

[@DudesIn101]

I've never had a magnet be too strong,,,,but the only part I would worry about is getting it too close to my wallet and messin with the credit cards....thanks for the vids Tim

[@firekracker92]

That magnet you didn't like is something I've been searching for, for a while. While it may not work for keys there's plenty of other uses. What's the brand? Also, the boker minibar is an incredible pry bar, scraper, bottle opener, and all around useful tool as well. I think it ran me $40 when I got it but it is the most used tool on my edc, besides my daily knife carry.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

I got the little magnet at Lowe’s I believe

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

And thanks for the update on the mini prybar

[@firekracker92]

@@EverydayTacticalVids I found it. It's called a magnetpal and they come in multiple colors as well as one or three packs. thanks!

[@mackjones7688]

I found this neodymium magnet at Wal Mart too in the key section for $5.00. While it's obviously too powerful to keep in your pocket. I keep it around to make a retrieval tool to pick up metal items dropped. Keep it around to test metals if you scrap metals. You can also use it to remove the security devices from clothing if you happen to have some one forget to remove one. Obviously you can use it to securely hang a key from a metal surface. You can use it to hang a flashlight overhead. I recommend it. Just use common sense.

[@harrydrury4734]

I think all have a place . nice for trauma kit.

[@0mfgeeze]

13:29 does anyone know the name / where i can buy from. Thanks

[@DamionJR4923]

I have a gerber schard and a SAK classic on my keys. The leatherman squirt weighs too much and I dislike the scissors and the chisel ground knife blade.

[@backrowbrighton]

I have the same on my keys and agree with what you say about the Squirt.

[@nathanpayne3611]

Thanks for the reviews! Several great ideas. I use the Key|Smart system for organization & compactness. Doesn't work well with adding items like these. However if I ever start carrying a small EDC bag I think I'd consider adding some of these to it.

[@jaceflatley2843]

You should do a reveiw on the dime gerber multi tool very nice and incredibly compact, i recomend it

[@maiolino66]

The Shard originally showed up at the SHOT as a promo gift to media at the Gerber booth. I am not sure but Ii think they were so well received they decided to sell them.

Playing one-up, I have a NukAlert radiological detector that can be cliped to a keyring. About the size of 2 Zippos side by side (weighs about the same as one), has a 10-year battery and is always on. And it's certified.

No lights? I carry either an Olight i1E or an Olight i1R on my key chain. I used to carry a Fenix E11 which was also a great light but would come on or loose the light head too often. All of them are great backup lights to a primary edc light.

[@suecharnock9369]

Resqme - absolutely should be on everyones key chain. Used it on double glazing and worked a treat when had to get into an old persons house in an emergency (one pane at a time of course!). If you dont have this on your car keys, you're missing a trick!

Gerber Shard should've had a HEX hole (not round), to use hex bits. Why they did not think of this simple implementation is quite astounding to me.

[@bigee01]

I use the Kershaw PT-1. Great little pry bar, and it has a plate on it for better grip for those of us with sweaty hands. LOL Great reviews!

[@proteus404]

I would recommend a pill container, mine is big enough to have 2-3 pills of anti-histamine, asipirin, acid reflux meds, and a rolled up $20. Might not be for everyone but I have a keychain nail clipper which is great I can't stand having a hang nail being able to take care of it on the go is very convenient, I also have the Victorinox Swiss Army Compact which is a great knife for edc.

[@jimbojet8728]

Every tool here is absolutely essential for EDC. I have a couple of the little Leatherman’s, SAK’s , niteize etc. I have a small torch or two too. Still short a few items, the algorithms will sort that out now, I’m sure. Thanks for a great vid

Many late-model vehicles have laminated glass on side windows, which won't yield to tools designed to break them. You can find out the lamination clearly by looking at it above when door is open...

[@willb3018]

Great video. Thanks. I have a couple of key rings. Both have the Olight i3E EOS . One has the Swiss Army classic you showed. The other has the Swiss Army Executive. The Executive gives you similar functionality, a longer blade but not much added weight. I love the Leatherman Squirt as well. I use tiny Nite Ize S biners to attach these items to the key ring to facilitate swapping out one of the knives for the Squirt.
