Little FYI: DO NOT SEPARATE YOUR GRANDPARENT'S ZIPPO JACKET FROM IT'S ORIGINAL INSERT!!! DO NOT!!! Repeat: DO NOT SEPARATE YOUR GRANDPARENT'S ZIPPO JACKET FROM IT'S ORIGINAL INSERT!!! Please keep those together. They both could have the same manufacturing date numbers and they keep value if they match. If they don't you should check their manufacturing dates to see how vintage they are. If they are from the same era you might still be able to conserve most of the vintage value since they don't necessarily always match precisely. That said, Zippos are very popular in some places more than others. I would suggest asking at a bar or rest stop for a lost and found and getting a free jacket from that. Love the design. I am totally getting that tool insert. Thanks for the content!!! 😁👍

I will say, there is one note I want to mention regarding the fancy box cutter - the action it uses for deployment makes it what is known as a gravity knife, and gravity knives are typically lumped in with switchblades in a lot of laws, which _could_ make that knife in particular illegal in some areas due to its mechanism despite its purpose of being a utility knife. Fantastic video, though! Very well edited, and the audio design was top-notch!

As much as I love multi-bit screwdrivers, the intended use needs to be considered. I do a lot of electrical work which often requires accessing screws that are in recesses. Standard 1" long bits won't reach. My go-to multi-bit is the Wiha slimline. Expensive, but the best I have come up with so far. The Milwaukee fastback 6-in-1 lives in my pocket at work.

@@riggerjeff I guess as long as they call them "features" then no prob, it's calling them "tools" that's the stretch. Like with your example, the 7-in-1 is saying 7 features in one tool. That's a bit different from multitools as they are specifically a combination of multiple different tools, not just one tool with many features/accessories. Plenty of outliers and grey areas of course.

The Milwaukee Fastback is the best utility knife evA!! In my work, measuring a space quickly is best done with a Bosch laser tape measure. Fast. Accurate. Easy. I know there are apps and scanners that will take a full room view and have their purpose, but these scanners have a ton of information I don’t need. I’ve been diagraming and measuring structures for so long that there is still not a scanner/app that can beat me, especially when you factor in the setup and download time.
@1steelcobraАй бұрын
That "fancy" ratcheting driver looks nice, but I guarantee it's kind of bad on two areas that are pretty critical for a ratcheting driver: how much you have to turn it to set the next ratchet points, and how much backdrag it has. Most ratcheting screwdrivers use a cog and pawl setup with pretty fine teeth, though the backdrag can vary. At that price you could buy both the regular and stubby LTT ratcheting drivers. Fiskars makes an even better folding utility knife. It was basically the only one in Project Farm's tests that survived.

In the utility knife realm, unless I’m sailing or (boat) rigging, my EDC knife is a Maker Knife by Giacco Whatever/Placed Atoms, equipped with a ceramic blade. I lost track of it for an extended period - I’d set it down in a seldom used drawer of my camera cabinet…and closed the drawer. I was heartbroken to have lost it, and overjoyed when it turned up. All of the substitutes I tried in the interim did the job, but none filled the role as elegantly.

For general use I would go with the FastBack. I just used it today. I have seen the "cool" one, but if I needed to EDC it, I would go with the $25 Olight Otacle U1 Carbon Fiber Small Folding Tool. I have carried it a lot, comfortable and fast to deploy with its rail or bar lock. The Otacle U1 is also good for trips if one suddenly has to carry it through TSA, just dispose of the blade, and get a new utility blade later. One caution, make sure the retention screw can be turned by hand. I liked it so much I bought a spare and found I had to carefully use a small pair of Knipex Cobra pliers to turn it. Once turned a couple of times it was fine for hand turning. Easy at home, not so much if you are trying to catch a flight. Maybe it had loctite, was over tightened, had some grit from manufacturing, whatever. It just reinforced the principle of always know and check your equipment first before depending on it.

I’ve added that little O knife to my wishlist. I edc a Maker Knife, and have a handful of fastbacks and alternatives in various tool boxes. The O looks like a nice edc alternative for travel. I fly carry-on with an “empty” utility knife. Acquiring blades at my destination. Never had the tool body confiscated - but there has been some negotiation at times. I need a tool I can walk away from if I’m at risk of missing my flight. That’s not the case with the “unobtainium” Maker Knife. I’m also a fan of the mini cobra by Knipex. So much so that I crafted a leather pocket slip for carrying mine. A match to the Maker Knife’s pancake holster.
