For an additional comment; What I do is always have my car key and house key separated. I keep my car key clipped to my belt loop with a "Nite Ize S-Binder" the S- design allows for the removal of the key, without the removal of the binder from the loop. Basically, I keep my car key by itself, and "attached" to my pants. I have found other attachment methods just get in the way, and add too much bulk. I also use an 2 orbit keys: One for my house keys, work keys, po box key, and their muti-tool which is okay at opening tape on packages, and can be used as a flat head screw driver (it has other tools, but these are the most usefull in my use-case.) The other orbit key lives in my edc bag and has a flash drive, and other long term keys that I don't use everyday like for a safe, tool chest, etc. That way I know where all my keys are, and I use the color bans for color coding them as well. For me, the most important thing about EDC is finding the right tray to set your items on. That way it is grab and go in one spot. Have a landing spot in your home where your wallet, phone, keys, pen/change, and knife land everyday. {also eye glasses, watch, lighter, power bank, etc.} • My brain doesn't function well in the morning, so anything that is just grab and go is better.

I like the S-Biner design, but the very weak spring clip makes it unreliable. I lost some good gear when I used one to attach to a belt loop. If they ever make one with a good strong (? and lockable) spring clip, happy days; but until then no way hose.

After accruing my on-body EDC setup for a few years and through quite a few Kickstarters, I lent my EDC pocket organizer to a colleague while at a trade show because he needed a screwdriver. I should’ve just pulled out my multi tool, but I gave the whole pocket organizer to him. Long story short, he left it on our counter that was open to attendees, and someone most likely stole it. That set up was valued at about $300-350. I’ve been using my back up set since and have basically given up using expensive EDC. Still have some expensive items, but they’re not part of my EDC.

As I expected prior to watching the collab videos, I like yours the most. You almost always have an explanation why you chose a specific item and go into the details. But that's also why I'm quite surprised by your choice for the multitool. The Skeletool has a one-hand-action, locking blade. And as you state yourself, you do have a good reason to carry this kind of multitools. This is an EDC pack, so do you really _always_ have a good expalanation for carrying this tool with you? One that would be accepted under all circumstances by the police? Why didn't you go for something less controversial? Like the Leatherman Bond, or the Knifeless Rebar? The few extra grams wouldn't bother me, in exchange for not having to argue with legal forces, honestly.

Especially the combo Cybertool + Knippex is much superior to the Skeletool in my opinion, because you have tools that can counteract on a screw for example and the Knippex are the best pliers I know.

Hello there! What a fantastic rally! I watched all 6 videos and I am surprised to see I have only two same items in my EDC pack with Jon Gadget (vix. compact and skeletool CX), but no similarities between the remaining gear Gurus. It’s also partly because some items you have are not available in my country or are way too expensive because of the tax regime. I myself carry a Victorinox Compact, a Leatherman Skeletool CX (a bir switched with a carbide glass breaker), a Leatherman No4 prying tool as a key organizer (simply clinging sounds don’t bother me), a Nebo Torchy, a very simple leather card holder and my Suunto 9 Titanium Baro.

In Sweden the knife law is even more restrictive than in the UK. Unless you carry a SAK, they all ways get a pass, if you don't try to take them to school or night clubs (obviously). So your edc is a no-brainer for me. I have a compact myself that I changed the scales on, that helped me to get over the fact that the alox models look much nicer. In addition to this have a manager with a small key torch. I only have one house key and a car key so that's not problem. One credit card and a driver's license in a detachable iPhone wallet and a tag for work.

I typically enjoy your reviews because they are very practical and honest, but this set, as mentioned, does seem a bit redundant, and more based on 'over the top quality of the goods' instead of practical use. The flashlight for instance, is a clear step down in function and weight. The skeletool and pen also seem fairly redundant. I get where your going, but I don't feel like those items give you the most bang for your limited pocket space. The firestarting material (while not taking up any space) also seems more 'prepper' than EDC practical
@JonGadget2 жыл бұрын
I appreciate the honest feedback. I am waiting for the 8x USB-C to arrive to potentially restore the points you mention but I have to say the A2 is very nice and looks more premium (which I appreciate is not necessarily a reason to swap) but it is also very robust and a bit smaller and the pocket clip with magnet is a great improvement (and can be switch round to attached to a baseball cap peak) - so it does have practical benefits too. Skeletool is best 'proper' multitool for EDC backed up with a Vic - but I only carry this when needing it - not everyday. The pen I use more than I thought day to day but I don't have to carry this as I have the emergency ones. The fire starter is more preppy - but it takes no space and weight and it's nice to have it there - you never know.....

Interesting video, I've almost developed my complete pocket carry, so far it's weighing in quite a lot, although there is quite a lot of things with it. Although a fair amount of redundancy as well. You'll likely recognise many of the things I have and the approach I've taken.

It's very satisfying exploring the perfect carry
@k.hussain3602 жыл бұрын
@@JonGadget yeah it's certainly a rabbit hole. I remember exploring EDC Pocket carry back in the early 2010s and there wasn't a huge range information available mostly from the US. Whereas today there is so much more information and channels like yours which help guys like me make some informed decisions.

You have like 3 pens & 2 blades, w/ multiple screwdrivers. in your edc. I like your carry & presentation.

Feel the same with the orbit key, love the design just doesn't work for me. I do have their multi tool on my key ring though, bottle opener works great(so many bottle openers on multi tools don't) opens boxes easily and a good enough screw driver in a pinch, plus it's not something I have to worry about taking off at the airport.

Love the skeletool, i add a washer under the blade so it doesn’t lock and becomes UK legal.

I never put my Orbitkey key holder and the Lexus remote in a bag; its always in my pocket. If my bag is stolen, I can always get back to the car and get home.

The solution for my two cars, is that I had two house keys cut and put one each on the keyring for each car. In your case of course, that would also necessitate two airtags.
