30 Awesome MINI EDC Items (Everyday Carry)

[@resipsaloquitur854]

As a gadget and gear junkie, you've just cost me a pretty penny. Great items with great presentations. Well done, and thanks Jon!

[@donaldstrader7241]

It did not cost me much, I already have most of the CountyComm items he exhibited. LOL.

[@georgecrosby2549]

I really appreciate all the specs, especially the weights. You'd be surprised how many gear heads forget to include the weight, or just say "it weighs nothing"

[@JonGadget]

good to know - thank you

[@ToolTechGeek]

I second that. When you see a product advertised it’s hard to get a feel of the weight. If it’s specified sometimes they use the weight with packaging, which for smaller gadgets can be significantly different than the product itself.

[@B-RaDD]

[@FreyGrimrod]

Fully agreed as a gram weenie myself who spreadsheets weight savings vs $$$.

[@CompassCustomCreations]

WOW! Awesome ideas here. Those mini pry bars are definitely going to find a way into one of my kits. You can never underestimate the need for a whistle when traveling outdoors, it's an essential survival item.

[@JonGadget]

Glad you like them!

[@robertmcdonald8342]

That's what shopping is. You hear what's out there, think of what you can use, and resolve the along with the cost.

[@trepuseker]

30 items in 20 minutes! I like that you honour small items very much in fact i was just searching for a good way to add a needle and thread in my edc so your presentation just came at the right time 🙂 But still, rushing through 30 items in 20 minutes contradicts somehow the valuing of little details of small gear. You could easily spend 10 minutes on each of those items talking about material, where it was made (and under what circumstances if that information is available) how to include it in your edc, compare it to other options, talk about function, look, feel, smell or even acoustics. Long story short: you leave me here with a lot to discover in the new to me manufactures and resellers. Thanks for bringing together this collection.

[@JonGadget]

No worries , it's always a balance when it comes to detail. This one is more about product discovery 👍

[@thepunisher9698]

Dude, you dont need 10min on every item, that's definitely an exaggeration, and alot of ppl like many items in a reasonably lengthed video, focusing only on the main points of the items. The little details are for separate vids usually

[@MrJed_s]

Great video, managed to get through it without an immediate urge to buy something, i guess that means my mini EDC is almost complete 😂

[@jamesragsdale3069]

Oh wow, youtube finally recommended me something good.

[@marrki1000]

U have the best edc products selection. Love your channel

[@ethan073]

I’m a mini EDC guy. I carry Victorinox Manager multitool w pen, RovyVon A3 flashlight, and Knipex Cobra XS pliers. I use all of them nearly every day & love all 3.

[@albertobarbosa5960]

What do you use the pliers everyday on?

[@jm329]

I can’t think of anything I would carry that I would need everyday apart from my keys or phone.

[@nicktw8688]

You sound fun. 😂​@@jm329

[@largewoodenbadger7195]

I’ve had the smallest of those pry bars on my key ring for about 12 years. Use it to pop tape on boxes at work where I’m not supposed to carry a knife. It’s got a nice patina now too!!

[@Antti_Nannimus]

That is a very nice LARGE collection of mostly very small, carry-able/portable, high-quality, useful, and interesting EDC items. Probably nobody needs it all, but also probably everybody could get good use from much of it at times. I'm old now though, so I get sticker-shock at the prices of almost everything. Your videos are the BEST on this topic, and I'm amazed at your resourcefulness, objectivity, and helpful content. There should be some kind of prize awarded for it.

[@JonGadget]

Thanks for the really kind comment - I lot of work goes into these, and so much appreciated

[@KaWouter_]

Very happy to see the type of lighter I suggested a few months ago. I'm still using mine more frequent than I thought. There are even smaller versions with a flat bottom.

[@DarioYael]

John gadget is a legend

[@Swimdeep]

Great items! The Altoids tin would be better if they had added a waterproof seal on the lid. 🌿

[@JonGadget]

Yes I agree

[@Thepotatothatchokedamber]

I wonder if adding a rubber grommet just under where the lid latches would help this?

[@HolyPire]

Well another 20 min gone for stuff I want but don't need 🤣 still love the show! Keep going!

[@JonGadget]

Sorry! More to come 😊

[@verdigrisgaming7891]

This guy is the best!!

[@lucyalderman422]

For the most part the lenses of a pair of glasses is the most important part of the glasses so protecting them is important

[@thedeaderer8791]

Surpirse vasectomy 😂thats a great name for a band

[@JonGadget]

😊

[@claireklein9398]

Love these minis! More minis for travel too?!

[@JonGadget]

Yep - will come 👍

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

This video was microtastic!!!😂💜💜💜

[@clarkrp1960]

Just picked up four of the items presented. Thanks!

[@JonGadget]

No problem 👍

[@verdigrisgaming7891]

Heyy they are average!!!😤

[@ryankanters4385]

With good character 🥹

[@sbalget]

You... You mean big... Right? 🥹

[@dbbeck90]

I’d say slightly above average even.

[@1drpiperdee]

Below average

[@manwiththeredface7821]

What really matters is how you use it.

[@geoffcampbell7846]

Some good kit there Jon, thank you. I find the transport costs for stuff from America can seriously affect the price of some of the gear out there, so I wonder if a similar UK exercise might be of interest? Mind you, given the state of our economy, I wonder if it would be perhaps a pointless exercise. Still, a great vlog. Cheers. 👋

[@philvallee645]

Another great vid Jon thanks so much. The Dyneema thread, pry bars and tins caught my eye in particular, as you say great additions to my kits! All the best

[@JonGadget]

Thanks Phil, yes, some good stuff 👍

[@Miclantechupi]

No offence, but 50 quid says that there is some thick (or malicious) plod who would absolutely say that is a fixed blade knife and if they couldn't get you on that, they would just go for the backup idiocy of a sharp object in a public place.

[@martingreen2018]

Good Evening Jon, Happy New year. So much for my no new stuff January! Heading over to Amazon the minute I've finished the video. Thank you for the great content and ideas.

[@JonGadget]

Your welcome Martin 😊

[@Youdonthave2konw123]

as a woman, I really had to laugh at the amigo clip. here we are hoping for a pocket big enough to hold basically anything at all, while the men have jeans pockets so big they need a clip to not loose their gear in those pockets! :')

[@Thepotatothatchokedamber]

I feel like a few of us gals should come together and figure out how to design usable and affordable women’s pants. It is some BS in this day and age that women’s clothing designers think we don’t want some sort of functionality to our clothing.

[@michaelfuxeklint4909]

Something I can recommend for your key chain is Spyderco Ladybug (~5 cm and 16 grams) 👍👍

[@ncmartinez_his]

The Lensrappa looks like something you could make easily if you have the material (perhaps denim?) and the sewing skills.

[@ssos4540]

Nice video. I already have a few of these items which I like a lot. I use to carry a RovyVon but switched to a Mateminco CSF-04.

[@ericdano]

Rovyvon A3 is amazing. I've been using one for 6 months now and it's extremely bright.

[@JonGadget]

really good 👍

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

LOVE me some County Com titanium bits and bobs sooo much edc goodies over there!!✊️🔥✌️💚

[@JonGadget]

Definitely 👍

[@barrydonelan4284]

Great video. So many useful items in one place. Thank you.

[@lesliekawiti]

This is the perfect video for me. I just got myself the new microblad x p&co collab and will probably get the large tin with the insert.

[@JonGadget]

Great 👍

[@lymskiUK]

It feels like some clever marketing types have cleverly discovered through research that in the market of cool little gadgets for people like us, the ideal rrp is $30 😅

[@donbaron4821]

We really want to see your camper van Jon

[@Aiedael]

Great Vid, I like the tins with the deviders. The Glow in the dark is a great feature :D

[@JonGadget]

Glad you like them!

[@DKBoerner]

Nice combination of items, great show!

[@toms.7913]

Nice job collecting some very useful and unique items.

[@FluidRat]

I'm gonna be real...most of the survival/tactical stuff that gets made for EDC comes with clips for attaching to your pockets, I'm not sure what use the CF Amigo clip would get. Probably better served on a bag or something, Iunno

[@swav5280]

Amigo clip gets a thumbs up. I have one of the other metal ones which hangs my flashlight, but the little flare on the end kept catching on things, like taking my jacket off and (luckily) seeing my RovyVon flying away... The Amigo keeps my light a little deeper in the pocket and the exterior clip doesn't catch on things. I appreciate the longer outside clip, too, that's easier to grab when I need it. Great job on these videos Mr. Gadget!

[@thomaswilkie1168]

"The Pill XL" should have called it the suppository and the Maratac Mini LEP Cosmos is just a rebranded Lumintop Antman LEP

[@thepunisher9698]

Love the video Jon! 😊 gave me new stuff to look at😁 and most of it was decent price too! A bonus lol

[@JonGadget]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@tpobrienjr]

Amazing stuff, enough to equip James Bond for another few decades!

[@lewiskelly14]

RovyVon are good but certainly not the best until they add a battery indicator

[@denisewade2638]

Jon, I love your videos I lost my first microblade thanks for sharing info on the microblade XL

[@JonGadget]

Sorry to hear that, XL is a nice option.

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Nice video Jon, I found a couple things very interesting, like the fishing and sewing cards, and the thread dispencer. JT

[@JonGadget]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MrDkgio]

Omg I thought for a second that he said “my caravan” luckily for his credibility he actually said campervan 😎 Caravan are a slippery slope, only slightly better than being a Morris dancer

[@JonGadget]

I agree - however, I did own an Airstream for a few years 😬

[@MrDkgio]

@@JonGadget honourable exception to the rule, the only cool caravan. 👍

[@battube44tqs]

8:45 the forbidden dental floss...

[@ucitymetalhead]

I bought a lot of that dyneema thread and string and keep it in my sewing kit which I have had to use to patch up pants more than I'd like to admit.

[@kathleensmith370]

Nice items to choose from

[@sameeralazawee7524]

All very good and nice >>>>>>>> Thank you .

[@JonGadget]

Many thanks!!

[@teutatix]

thank you thank you thank you 🙏

[@MacSharps73]

That 4” bar has been fantastic. Found myself using it several times a week. Very handy.

[@jaqian]

What do you use it for?

[@MacSharps73]

@@jaqian I’ve used it on removing nails to doing vehicle unlocks. Opening cans with a pull tabs…yesterday I used it to readjust the alignment on a car quarter panel in order to put a new retention pin in. It’s been handy for numerous tasks.

[@mrblackkai]

I saw that belt clip, was afraid its joint would eventually break. Instead I went for a titanium belt loop, attached a titanium D-Shackle.

[@LightDoe]

Some interesting items! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@sandy_knight]

That Dyneema dispenser needs to be paired with a sewing kit. Dyneema is really weak when knotted (It doesn't handle shear forces very well) so if you want it to support any significant tension it should be looped and stitched instead, that's how its used on kites and paragliders at least...

[@zzzetsulive]

...thanks for promoting county comm they deserve the extra business and are great dudes, but now all the shit i want is sold out ;-; been buying from them for a few years now and ive havent seen them this sold out for a while

[@winstonsmiths2449]

3:00, RovyVon does make the best small lights! I have the A5 Gen 4 luminous body version. Seems to cost more than you think a small light like a RovyVon is, but they are well worth it. Very functional, USB C charging with internal battery.

[@bayshark7o7]

Love county comm gear ⚙️ ❤😊

[@checkm8606]

Hi, could you use the metric system or at least put a text on screan if you use the imperial system.. would be great:)

[@jaqian]

Agreed

[@colinbrown4008]

Great video Jon

[@mowgli2071]

5:50 no Split Pea lighter? (Half the size of a normal peanut lighter)

[@mfinresearch6462]

Thanks!! I remember hearing about this site about a year ago but couldn't remember what it was. This is going to be an expensive video for me LOL!!

[@AlliWiltshire]

Great video despite now costing me more money! 😅. Looking forward to 2024 revised versions of all your kits 😊

[@JonGadget]

😬 Yes, kits will be updated over the year 👍

[@alejandracartwright8923]

I love tiny EDC items but I can’t wrap my head around the idea of somebody thinking that 14 needles and 12 buttons is the appropriate amount to carry on one’s person at all times. Seems a bit overkill.

[@Traderjoe]

I think so too, unless it’s in a kit that a whole family could use. If they put two buttons and 2 needles, there would be someone complaining about why not 3?

[@C0BALTWARRI0R19]

@13:14 Lol when my dad would buy a new pocket knife he would give me his old one. Every blade had the tip broken off every time from him trying to use the blade as a pry bar.

[@tonykennedy8592]

EDC has gone from carrying essentials and minimalist preparation to an entire industry aimed a braggarts and incompetent magpies who are distracted by shiny but pointless trinkets.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

That microblade is crazy expensive imho. you can get a full Victorinox blade for that price.....

[@JonGadget]

Yes!

[@CoreyMason-r8g]

Awesome episode ❗🔥💯🏆👍

[@JonGadget]

Thank you 👍

[@PatDennis-vr7qs]

Jon, thank you so much for your videos. There are very helpful and very informative I love all the gear that you feature. I love your EDC Altoids tin kits. And I have bought some of the things that you have mentioned. Things such as the Rovivon flashlights, the tombow air press pen. Brilliant gear, brilliant job, keep up the good work. Crow from across the pond, Tennessee USA

[@TheWinstn60]

I was on an Air Boat once in the Everglades and it broke down and the radio didn't work! so they used a whistle and it worked they found use. Very very useful thing to carry

[@JonGadget]

good to hear

[@simplejones4364]

thanks, very cool. if I close my eyes it becomes Anthony Hopkins speaking.

[@InimitaPaul]

I have the Rovyvon A4 Ti but I won’t be buying another when the battery dies, non replaceable batteries is unforgivable. I should have done my due diligence when I bought it but the choice to sell them that way is down to them.

[@lancelubin727]

Thank you SO much. I might have made the same mistake

[@doubledecker1094]

Woo hoo, new video!

[@JonGadget]

😊

[@mariusmarius4832]

Sweet.

[@manwiththeredface7821]

I didn't give much importance to keychain whistles until I watched the movie Prisoners...

[@JonGadget]

I need to check that out...

[@engineeredlifeform]

That LensRappa, , just needs a lycra wrap to go around the arms to stop them from getting snagged. Wouldn't add much weight.

[@biffbuffington4393]

Oh dude! I totally needed this channel! Thank you KZbin Algorithm gods! : ) :)

[@darthrevanakc]

Jon, which pocket clip do you prefer ultimately? The key smart out this carbon fiber clip? Love your channel!

[@simonteppett8435]

The shipping cost from the American websites is prohibitive. Why not also give UK and European links

[@jaqian]

I've never bought from USA, shipping is ridiculous

[@microMobilidade]

Hey Jon have you seen the Earthling EDC pocket rack? I would like your opinion on it for these kind of small kits. Thanks!

[@Yunqu3]

Is there a glasses case like for glasses clip on (slim factor for a fanny pack)

[@4140ajj]

That's right Jon, it's not the size that counts, it's how you use it. And who would want an unsightly large bulge in their trousers? (from too large EDC things being carried, of course...)

[@JonGadget]

😁

[@LuisMercadoorg]

Any alternatives for the County Comm’s big tin? It has been sold out for months in their website.

[@XXhite]

3:49 you can get a basically the same mini flashlight on temu that also comes with floodlights, and red and blue lights for 2:50$. The only difference is the shell is plastic instead of aluminum. And if you pay 5.00$ it comes with a UV blacklight on it as well. I'm just saying you can basically get all of these things from temu for less than 5$ most of the time 🤣💯💯💯💯💯

[@1deleware]

Nice job nice stuff 👍

[@COSMALofficial]

the pill blades seem kind of silly to me, i dont think id ever use that and id rather carry something more useful and accessible like a 58mm SAK or leatherman squirt.

[@ronhess3013]

I miss the music intro to the videos 🤷‍♂️

[@Rick-gb5jj]

Surprise vasectomy made me laugh. 😊

[@craciunu]

Hi! I have a very useful small Victorinox Rambler (58mm) tool. I was thinking of making it "flight-ready", by removing the blade. Is there anything I could replace it with? ...Something like a "cuticle pusher" or an "orange peeler" might fit where the blade is? Thanks!

[@alantaggart51]

It's all great gear but you pay for the weight id rather have a bit extra than the price depends on what you need etc

[@JonGadget]

yes 👍

[@ChristianRuiz-up3ju]

Do an EDC kit for under 100$

[@JonGadget]

thanks for suggestion

[@montyv3909]

Love it

[@rydmerlin]

So I bought the Aircard having seen it here on your channel. I'd say the current generation with all the fancy looks isn't very functional as a wallet finder since it doesn't support Nearby as well the sound being awfully low in volume. It didn't help me locate my Ridge the other day despite being in a quiet area. I hope to see the newer generation have louder volume as well as nearby.

[@JonGadget]

A lot depends on what it is stored in - I seem to remember it is louder than an AirTag - yes, on Apple have direction finder but I have not needed it yet as can hear it when close

[@lindastansbury2067]

A great collection of very handy, affordable and unique items to have, even though one might not anticipate needing them. I appreciate how thorough your descriptions are. I love gadgets and tools and will have to watch this video a couple more times so I can be selective and not buy one of everything.

[@sandymilne224]

Great finds on these items. Well done!

[@JonGadget]

Thanks - great to know

[@XXhite]

1:22 or you could go to temu, and buy basically the same thing but made of brass and a screw on top for between 75. Cents, and 1.50$ you could buy 15-20 of them for the same price 🤣🤣🤣💯

[@rubenluisgoncalvesdegoncal4183]
