My friend would always carry around multitools like the axe/bottle opener/hammer/saw thing, whereas I would have a small bag with a little saw, a real hammer, a pair of pliers, some common socket sizes and a ratchet, a box cutter and some electrical tape... he'd always be trying to use my shit if we were somewhere. I probably only spent a little more for some basic cheap tools and a bag than he did for his shitty gadgets that never worked when he needed them.

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

the axe multitool thing was like a gear heads take on the classic trappers tool or fencing tool which have about 3-5 functions and are really handy usually a hammer, prybar/nailpuller, axe and something else i forget. if you do put a lot of country fences up or trap they are a good buy if not the dedicated tools are better

[@humphrey7079]

The "cutter" on the weird mini tool is actually used for striking flint sticks.

[@yuureihaiku]

Jeff you are just too nice a guy. I could not have found anything good to say about a box full of bottle openers, seat belt cutters and pry bars. 😂

[@arteblack13]

The Readyman Lock-blocker was by far the coolest thing in this kit. You just break of on of the pieces and push it into any lock that you want to make un-openable from that side. then you just break off the excess metal. very cool piece!!

[@CJayC253]

The serrations on the shovel aren't for sawing material, they're for helping to cut through roots when you're digging.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

CJayC are roots material? Yes. Is it sharp enough to cut roots? No.

[@cutlerylover]

either way its not cutting through anything it rubs against

[@CJayC253]

It's not meant to saw through anything in the normal sense, with a regular sawing notion. It's mean to handle the small roots (NOT tree roots) in the dirt while you're digging. Just like a Lesche digging tool.

[@CJayC253]

Check out the digging tools by Lesche. They're too have serrations, but like in this case, the're used while digging, rather than actually sawing anything.

[@Nomadicsage1]

I had that shovel,broke after an hour of use

[@DanceForMe13]

Jeff digs the shovel... ;-)

[@magicshon]

i feel like that joint where it bends will be in the way of digging

[@mankiller009]

he thinks it is Super Cool.

[@chrisdiehl8387]

we need an edc subscription box. leather goods and knives and such

[@josephmelchor7661]

why not a tactical fidget spinner in this box lmao

[@TheSkater1233]

they couldn't find one with a bottle opener I guess

[@cccstudios521]

TheSkater1233 there actually is one search up the Griffin Spinner Tool lmao

[@josephmelchor7661]

cccstudios521 would have been a good fit, most of this box was trash anyways

[@pachalo]

That's in July's box.

[@clickbait5922]

Lol

[@goatinstein]

those lock blockers look like cheap "hotel keys". basically you stick the bottom half into the keyway and the hook on the end catches on the pins so it can't be removed and you can no longer fit a key in to unlock it. you use the top half to push the pins out of the way when you want to remove it. they used to be used by traveling salesmen to keep hotel maids from coming in and stealing they're merchandise.

[@chrisdiehl8387]

it almost seems like battlbox is running out of stuff to put in their boxes so they resort to flea market finds. the axe and the 2 pry bars are a freaking joke.

[@cutlerylover]

one of the prybars would have been cool, they are a great tool but not 2 of them...

[@SteveNigglechunks]

Chris Diehl CountyComm sells their "Widgy Bars" for around $10 bucks. Much better deal. Certainly a useful tool, but not worth $100 bucks. For a handle I can wrap it in some Paracord

[@chrisdiehl8387]

is there a sub box strictly for edc?

[@DanA-ow8il]

Chris Diehl take a look at never enough tactical

[@chrisdiehl8387]

Dan A I checked it out and that's a nice subscription box. I'm looking for something a little less tactical. although they have some awesome gear, I'll never use an ar15 muzzle break or a tomahawk. I need a subscription that offers flashlights, pens, wallets, knives, key chain tools and edc self defense gear. That's more my speed.

[@p2o8wer]

That “socket adapter” is what we use in the city to turn our outside water on. Thai way nobody walking by can use your water

[@d4walkaline]

Nothing says hardcore operator like a Tactical garden trowel.

[@RelaxingGhost]

Your the man Jeff. Been watching you for years now and always love your content. These unboxings are my favorite things. Take care man. Are you going to continue doing the WLC even when its done? I'm sure everyone wants to see your progress and support you. thanks for everything bro, from Ghost in Canada.

[@pickypanda]

"Urban"

[@raymondsymonds6103]

That lil grove behind the bottle opener looks to be for scraping sticks to make arrows !

[@olszewski422ify]

Here is the thing, and I know I am hella late. As a urban survival the hatchet makes sense to me. No one is walking around the city with a backpack full of tolls, but you can definitely keep that in your car an use it if you have to.

[@randyyeager]

I'm guessing the paracord goes with the pry bar

[@imnotimportant]

Exactly. Obviously says "Para Pry" on the card.. Paracord wrapped pry bar... It's to make the paracord handle on that cheapo chisel.

[@cutlerylover]

yeah my wife figured that out right away and wrapped it, came out nice and long enough cord to do...

[@alittleolder]

Big Thumbs up! The only one on youtube who isn't trying to sell the box to me.

[@peternorthrup6274]

FEMA boy. Glad your back. Here we go. Boy that shovel is cool. Use it to clean the cat litter boxes everyday. Cool. Need that bottle opener. I like the pry bar. Para cord. Good. Dont cut your little hands. Please be careful. Seeing you with a blade in your hand scares us. I like that hammerhead. My wife can use it in the garden. Only the best. She can prune her rose bushes. Another bottle opener. Cant have enough of those. Not sure what that black thing is. I will throw it in my tool box. Never no.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

That silver socket like thing is a Vampire Cross in case you encounter a vampire in the deep woods.

[@Aconitum_napellus]

Damn! I wish I had a bottle opener on my shovel, especially after I've just used it to dig a latrine.

[@Dafoodmaster]

I *knew* i saw that thing before! It's a Trucker's Friend axe, but with more allen keys and stuff in the handle. Honestly, if you took this design, disregarded the whole handle, used good materials and tweaked the design to be as balanced as a gransfors axe you'd have a great axe right there. A jack of some traits, a master of one.

[@gravedipper]

with the Ontario knife tool looks like you can switch it out as far as you can put the handles on the smaller one and the ready man tools you can use with that tactical toothbrush from the other battlebox a couple months ago

[@cbfall]

Excellent BATTLBOX video,Jeff!!!!

[@EzraLLF]

Who is going to cut there seatbelt with that big ass axe?

[@sitattle5973]

BossDog933 Who is going to even buy that axe?

[@EzraLLF]

Redfish Runner True, forgot about that lmao 😂

[@imnotimportant]

Its for cutting rope, but yeah.. not very practical on a "hatchet" anyways...

[@Mario-dq4kn]

BossDog933 mini fire fighters

[@Atomic_Robot_]

Better than nothing

[@brazenh2836]

You do you my dude Keep the super cool vids coming ; )

[@stevencrawford9164]

It's cool to see stereotypes put to rest.. the fact that a gay man can be into knives and tools , not just show tunes and antiquing... Bravo young man!

[@adammartinez1764]

the kershaw and the pack are definitely the two best things. a friend of mines had the off grid multi and I won't lie it was pretty durable and took a beating time to time, although his was not as rough looking, it has potential use still.

[@themawsjawz_9491]

(talking about the mini e-tool/shovel) "I dig it" kek

[@mukbangfanatic5649]

I like the hatchet thing you may think it's disappointing but it can come in real handy in an urban survival situation

[@anthonyromero5479]

Some cool stuff. That micro shovel is awesome,maybe it's a fish scaler not a saw?this would help get thru a survival situation,now live off land indef,prolly not but I could make do with this stuff for a few days or more.

[@svent1000]

That box should be named "junkyard"

[@twitch3851]

That axe is awesome !!! Lol and I have a shuffle I use it every now and then

[@imnotimportant]

Look, another box full of walmart junk.... what a surprise, only happens every single month

[@cutlerylover]

I disagree there have been plenty of months the gear was great and it had a really good value overall

[@elkyermartin141]

Hey, new here! I really enjoy your chill content! Fan from Philippines!

[@markviereck4547]

Had at least three bottle openers. I haven't used a bottle opener in ten years

[@Rusted1859]

nice i got a kershaw shuffle if the bottle opener digs into your hand you can take it off and just use the knife without it and keep the prybar lanyard hoop bottle opener as a keychain. i keep it as is for work since it always comes in handy but just a knife hack for you

[@clickbait5922]

Why does everything have to have a bottle opener

[@varthdader6162]

click bait for the people that drink a lot of beer lol

[@bigrayray1975]

I have had one of those Hatchet looking things for about 10 years now it's called a trucker's friend only thing mine doesn't have is the saw I think I paid $25 for mine. it comes in useful knocking ice off of the underside of the truck and prying any boards off the flatbed trailer if you have to nail them on to keep stuff from Rolling

[@channelsurferbf]

Good opportunity to practice regrinds at least. Personally, I would reshape and sharpen the Ontario breacher bar into a tanto blade.

[@TtheFG]

Out of curiosity, do the scales fit both chisel-pry-bar-not-knife things?

[@bobhatesrainbows]

I've never seen one of those etools not break after the third use or so. I've yet to see one of the old wwii ones in use so I'll not lump those in with the rest, but give me a short shovel any day.

[@brunomarques5906]

Thought of getting the SOG shovel for a camping trip...how does it work?

[@inkedskindeep9941]

At first glance that ontario knife looks interchangeable with the other blade but its not. Great video. Let me know if youve got a antler handle fixed blade you wanna get rid of. Ive got a bunch of knives id trade ya.

[@OnAirVoice]

At least you got the Kershaw, EDC Gear Review's box was missing that item.

[@macro820]

Yes Jeff, we dig the shovel

[@starboy3735]

Jeff I might be goingto Pennsylvania this summer because my dads from there. Hoping to see gettysburg and philly

[@Avxes]

on the BB website it says the para cord is the pry bar to wrap the handle.

[@kvlt22]

Disappointment? Wait till you open that kershaw. My shuffle does not lock and came as dull as that chisel

[@joeblow502]

finally people seeing in these boxes what the rest of us have seen since day 1

[@reaver414]

and theres a frickin compass in the shovel handle! nice

[@j.s.3753]

5:26 Jeff (referring to shovel): "I dig it"

[@sterlingwulfrblx3439]

how many times have you pried on something and the pry bar just doesnt lift quite enough so you grab a second bar to hold it in place while you reposition the bar to get more purchase on the material

[@PhilandGina]

that bar looks like they forgot to attach a handle to it or it might fit the other bar if you take the handle off that

[@llsh0ckwav3ll93]

I have the Kershaw Shuffle it’s my everyday carry it’s a great knife you don’t have to worry to much about.

[@WilliamFrazier1488]

That is one of the nicest boxes I have seen so far.(i got no audio lol) So I dont know how well you liked it, have to watch it again tommorow lol.

[@MrDDiRusso]

He digs his little shovel!

[@dominiclucero9312]

The small one looks as if it could be used to replace the longer one if broken

[@davidw9605]

you should do a review on the EDC pocket tool

[@redneckdipper7170]

the off the grid axe would in my mind be great for a firefighter

[@camr9433]

lock pick set, handcuffs, flashlight, can opener, collapsible bottle....all these items would be useful in an urban survival/civil unrest situation

[@thewolfofwokest7521]

lol...Handcuffs? hahahah wtf

[@timothyspearman9347]

How much do these boxes cost? I see a few prices.

[@UKEDC]

Looks like a load of left over clearance buys stuck in a box. In all honest would you have actually purchased any of those items if you had seen them first? Good idea initially but quality seems to have petered out. JMHO

[@mattbehindthewheel6901]

I believe there was a compass in the base of the ET.

[@1388DBR0WN]

I have that same shovel. I got mine 3 or 4 years ago for Christmas

[@michaelmageefilms]

I love my Kershaw Shuffle with teal handle and blackwashed blade.

[@jaytrock3217]

For an urban scribal kit. I think the only thing good out is the siphon. Could had thrown a SERE kit in there or some lock picking.

[@bananamanpb]

wow that bag looked sweet, other than that i think the only things id like is the pump and the kershaw

[@jiamiah9756]

Zero tolerance 0452 or the Dpx H.E.S.T. 2.0? really am stuck between the 2 very good knives.

[@Bobster709]

Battlbox needs to be "axed"

[@ronaross1]

I agree with you, most of the items in the box were very low quality and limited usability. Thanks!

[@nicholasfurnari8691]

I like the concept of the subscription-boxes. But I'd end up giving most of the stuff away as gifts, stocking-stuffers at Christmas, etc.

[@ellidigorga8780]

What kind of knife are these? They don’t seem to be sharp and they don’t have a pointed tip 🤔 For what do you use them ?

[@firstgoinpostal]

Not only was the axe not sharp. There's no way you would be able to use the meter wrench part to turn the water on or off inside the tight confines of most meter boxes(Unless you use the camp shovel to dig a big hole around it). I can't see how those wrench/socket holes could be usable for most tasks needing a wrench either.

[@weatheredeyec12177]

Super cool. "I like it."

[@kydd666]

"Wow, i've never seen one that small" #ThatsWhatSheSaid

[@llsh0ckwav3ll93]

Are you any good with throwing knives?

[@brunomarques5906]

The Off Grid Tool needs a sheath before you chop a figure...looks very functional minus the sheath.

[@rostklinge]

I really like the axe, the big prybar and the knife. Everthing else is not my thing. Except for the knife I wouldn't pay the retail prices.

[@Jesses001]

I have that exact trenching tool. I got it about 25 years ago. It even came with the same crappy bag, ha. The bag is garbage and will be dead soon enough, but the tool is fine. Served me well. Try to keep the threads clear of dirt though. That hatchet....thing might be cool with a little work. That grind is bad, ha. Seriously, someone took an angle grinder too it. If the handle is as horribly uncomfortable as it looks, you should consider taking it off and making a new handle for it. You might loss the saw, but lets face it. That saw does not look like it would work well anyway. Then of course you need to make a sheath. A lot of work to get that thing to be a useful tool.

[@LinXx]

I saw that comment on you saying supercool. It was supercool.

[@gregghrebenak5825]

That other other pry bar has an extra blade. That is what the other blade you think is a separate Jimmy had. Look at the holes in it bro. You just need a torx of allen key to switch it out. Good luck man.

[@gregghrebenak5825]

Bar not bad.

[@doobydoo88]

Think that ontario knife is for splitting wood wen your camping etc

[@redbengal2864]

I was really looking forward to this box because I've been itching to build a get home bag for my truck. The axe is just... dumb. And mine is dull as hell (some come with no edge apparently). Two pry bars is just silly. The pack isn't bad, but it's too small for a lot of purposes. I didn't hate the box, but didn't like it as much as I thought I would.

[@williamdrake6711]

well at least the Advanced Box ( which included everything that you actually liked ) value covered the cost of the whole box....

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

how are you supposed to use a pry bar that size... It's too small to get any leverage. Unless you only open paint cans

[@JoeDurobot]

*A review of that "hatchet" with a cutting test would be hilarous btw Jeff!* *Like you said the grind is horrible and the handle looks painful to use.* *I don't think you could take down even a tiny tree with that garbage product!* *Bad month indeed.I hope you get those boxes for free for review purpose.*

[@zachwhite1457]

The first knife you pulled out I got in Texas

[@WilliamFrazier1488]

How could we do a trade for that OKC froe looking blade blank?

[@drainoman35]

Those are lock killers. Do not try it on an important lock. You won't be able to get it out unless you have a locksmith drill it out.

[@dalecarpenter8359]

I was wondering .you got some good stuff in other boxes .i was thinking if i got the battle boxes deal it would be like this box . I already have the shovel .

[@user-596]

Civil unrest here we are three years later

[@MrOmarhamidoo]

Super cool video ;)

[@BobPlank_KK4DIV]

The trenching tool and the kershaw knive are the only ones I'd be interested in. Or, maybe even the small pry bar. Most of the stuff looks "Gimmicky"...especially the multitool hatchet. Advertised it can do so much, but in reality it's junk. Spend $25 to $150 for a box of stuff that maybe of which you'll use a few items (one or two)? I'd save my money and get something I could use. Not saying that Battlebox isn't a cool idea. It is...but I'm afraid I'd not like most of what I got.

[@looseballs1966]

I see a major trend of companies rushing to get the next gimic item to market in hopes to land the next sucker and reel them in, the dolar signs are blinding them, instead of making actuall usable quality items it's push the garbage gimic.

[@-Sun1111-]

Hey Jeff could you do a review on the Benchmade 530 Pardue pleaseee

[@SnowfogOutdoorsbushcraft]

I totally agree Jeff. 2 breaching tools? How bout a decent multi tool. No sheaths for any of the larger tools. My biggest complaint is who makes an axe tool thingy with 1040 or 1045 HC steel? That's way to soft of a steel in my opinion. I'm disappointed as well. Atb. Diane

[@calemorris3334]

Hello from new zealand. Yea the box was a bit disappointing considering you are paying for things you don't necessarily want, i would use the $25 pry tool though to save my knife. Thanks for the video and the quality at least. 👍

[@ForgefaneCreations]

Cale Morris at that rate, may as well buy a chisel

[@calemorris3334]

ForgefaneCreations yeh true but i like the option to sharpen the long edge and the slim size of it

[@AlCasa52]

Super Cool!!!

[@timothywhite9989]

I use to work at a power washing company that + hex tool is a water key it turns on hoeses at companies
