@@TheWillem I work in logistics so I don't really need to carry a ton at work - it's really just my phone, a nice pen, and my swiss army knife. These are also things I like to have on me alongside a couple of other "urban EDC" essentials when I'm off work. I do carry these extra items in a small pouch. I like watching EDC videos like yours as I'm always finding new ways to improve my kit. I strive to keep it reasonable so I only carry a handful of items I hope I don't have to use - like plasters and painkillers that are small enough for it to be silly to not have them with you. I might make a video of my kit eventually but English isn't my native tongue so I'd have to work up my courage a bit before you'll catch me speaking it in front of a camera.

Very nice kit. I really like the printed socket holder and the cardboard saw scabbard. But you probably only need 2 saws - the wood one in the Leatherman and the longer metallic one. You can switch out one of the others for an emory board and a small file/round file I think. I'd add a small amount of thin/strong cordage. And a magnet (numerous trouble-shooting benefits). a small amount of wire for repairs, a little heat shrink tuning and a bic lighter. Your Olight is great --- but do you need so much size and power? Switch to a smaller one. Perhaps you can add a pin vise and some micro drill bits with the regained volume? Some clips or forceps to use as a microvise? If anything, you may have too many bits -- you have a lot of bits! I would also switch your tweezers for a non-magnetic brass pair, add a small wooden pusher tool (like those used in manicure or whittle a chopstick) because its nice to have something dielectric too. And a small tube of cyanoacrylate glue. Maybe a little sugru? These are just ideas because your EDC kit has inspired me. Overall an excellent job!

@@TheWillem Sorry to hijack this a bit, but if you are in a workshop, and i suppose the students should become engineers there, i would collect old (ikea) allen wrenches and let them make the bit they need with files. (The first time i needed a triangle bit this is exactely what i did. Takes a few minutes.) In my country there are 2 ways of becomming an engineer, one is by attending an engineering school (usually 5 years from age 14-19) or by studying at a university. Biggest difference between the two is the practical education that is missing on university. And that often shows later in working situations. So every practical experience i'd say is helpfull for future engineers. I went to such a school and even though my field was electronics (from electricity on atomic level to radar) the first year, we almost entirely spent our workshop time with metal working like filing, operating lathes, milling machines ect. (no CNC)

I put together a EDC pouch but mine has 2 compartments. It's more for bicycle, Motorcycle, home repairs or for simple away from home. 1 side has guaze pads, medical tape, bandais, and hand wipes, that can be used for cleaning out cuts, or cleaning a dirty tool, to store it back in the tool side of the pouch. The tool side has, 5inch Knipex cobra, 6inch Knipex pliers wrench, Milwaukee fastback 6 in 1utility knife, 24 double sided Wiha bits, leatherman extension, leatherman ratchet extension, ACEBEAM Pokelit AA, Olight Open mini, and a Knifeless Rebar, with Bit adapter. I have a Olight IR2 Pro and a Victorinox Rambler on a locking carabiner at all times on my belt lupe. I am always getting cuts or blisters that bleed, or a callous comes off or cracks from plumbing or all the jack of all trade side jobs I do, that I always carried bandages in my wallet, but instead of just 1 bandage, I can now carry a few, plus tape, and cleaning wipes, to help decrease infections. 1 cut was really red last year and it had to be cut open and stitched last year, so now I carry this. Plus I always have tools on me, when I go to look at a property, but I normally have a tool bag and sometimes power tools on me, depending on the job. About a month ago, I was able to help someone crying outside, because a plumber turned the house water off. The bathroom facet had bad shut off valves and they were leaking. The faucet needed to be replaced as well. Her quote was ridiculously high. I ran to the store with her to get some shut off valves and replaced the valves and turned her water on. She was so happy. I just gave her my number and she gave me a hug and I continued on my bicycle ride. The tools I had in my EDC pouch helped her. That's why I carry it in my backpack that I have a water bag thing with a straw in it. I know that I didn't fix her entire issue, but she was able to wash her dishes, use her shower, wash clothes, and everything else that she was talking about that she could do. I never got a call to come do the work but she said that she was in between jobs, so, I might still get the call to make some money to replace the facet. The shutoff valves were easy and it was payment enough, to see her so happy. I fixed a few things at my Aunts house as well. I never understood why people carried EDC, until now. It all started with a Victorinox SD classic, on my Keychain, to cut shrink wrapped pallets open and taped boxes open at work. I was a over the road semi driver, and that knife was amazing. I upgraded to the Victorinox Rambler, then carried a Olight IR2 Pro. I am hooked now. 😅

Hi Willem, thank you so much for this video. Finally someone with sense. If there is just one thing I would add, it is the indispensable FERM SGM 1006 gas soldering gun / blow torch / McGuyver-tool.

Good suggestion! The thing is that this kit is packed tight and I won't be able to put even a compact soldering iron in there. In most cases of soldering, you only need to connect wires together (typical thing that happens). I think it is sufficient to only keep some tin and some shrink tubes in this kit (there is some room for that). My lighter will act as a soldering iron in that case (tin has a low melting temp). For fine soldering work I prefer my TS100 iron and a workpiece holder.

I love that bit/socket holder. About the sockets - I see you included sizes from 5mm - 12mm. There are nine sockets in total, so I'm interested in which sizes you chose, since at least one of them must be a half size. Also, have you found these sizes to cover most of your needs in the field? I have found that 13mm seems to be one of the more common sizes I have encountered, but I suppose it all depends on the field in which you work.

I bought a range of sockets including the 13 mm. I included a cross key (for < 5 mm sockets). The update video shows the changes I made to this kit to this day.

I lost the file already, I am sorry. I measured every tool that I wanted in the holder and substracted 1 mm in diameter for a tight fit.

Very good set! On my opinion only lighter is missing, but maybe you just have it in your pocket))) I'm always keeping a semitransparent Clipper in a similar tool kit. And of course I recently added to my kit the Leatherman ratchet extender.

I completely agree on the missing lighter (perfect for shrink tubes). I ordered a compact lighter at Aliexpress (70 mm x 35 mm x 8 mm) which would perfectly fit in the same pocket of one of the bit holders. Unfortunately it never arrived after months of waiting... But I just keep one in my pocket every day!

I hate all the survivalist and combat BS that people put in their EDC kits. I used to carry a Leatherman Skeletool with me because all I wanted was a good solid pair of pliers, a bit driver, and a knife. It's a fantastic tool, however; I ended up having to toss it and re-buy it several times because whenever I traveled, they would make me get rid of it. Even when I drove to New York, security at the Statue of Liberty ferry tour made me toss my pocket knife. Now, what I want is a solid pair of pliers, a bit driver, and a *utility knife* so I can just toss the cheap blade if I forget. The saw blade attachment on the Surge is awesome! I also wish the Skeletool had replaceable wire cutters, though I wouldn't carry replacements. I'd just replace them as they wore out. I can't imagine many situations where I'd *need* to replace a blade right that moment. I feel like EDC is a game of diminishing returns. Knives are super useful almost daily. Usually a utility knife will do. Pliers are almost but not quite as useful as knives. A medium sized Philips-head screw driver is quite useful. A flat head is also quite nice. Tweezers? OK. Scissors? I've never run into a situation where a dinky pair of scissors was that much better than a knife. A simple first-aid kit is nice, I keep one in my car, but most of the other stuff is excessive as EDC. You really need a socket wrench with an assortment of sockets every day? You really need multiple lengths and types of saw blades every day? You really need a full set of 1/4" hex bits and another set of 4mm hex bits? You don't need to carry spare set of wire cutter blades, just replace them as needed. If you're going to go through a pair of wire cutter blades in situ, then you'll probably want a bespoke tool. I'd swap some of that out with a tube of super-glue, a bit of para-cord, a small spool of wire, and maybe a pen and note pad.

The SOG Powerlock is a better multitool for engineers. It's more versatile, can be used in more configurations and is more adaptable and customisable than the Leatherman, and it has compound leverage. It also connects to standard 1/4" hex screwdriver bits and 1/4" square drive sockets easily. It also does not rely on springs to operate as the Leatherman design does, which is a weakness in my opinion. I was an IT engineer until a few years ago and have tried many multitools over the years, including Leatherman, Gerber, SOG and others. The SOG Powerlock is definitely the best. I have no connection to SOG tools other than being a happy customer.
