My EDC Tool Kit Solve Most Problems On The Spot!

[@thebodybeatdownDiTi]

That's a great tool kit. 9/10 we need basics like this which makes them more important.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Most things that are not a major project can be taken care of with a kit like this. We all have different needs so a little customization will make it perfect. As an IT guy on a College Campus this meets a lot of my portable needs.

[@andrewbieger5004]

Great kit. I also have he same Max Beefy bag, but set up primarily as a gear repair kit for weekend car camping trips, so i don't need to lug tons of stuff. I will definitely invest in the two Knipex pliers wrench and channel locks. Those things are indestructible, replacing the adjustables. My kit does have some smaller sockets (up to about 9/16"), as most camping stuff doesn't require larger stuff, but heavy on bit drivers/ screw driver tips. I have noted about ten items from your list to add to my kit. As a companion kit, I keep some spare Coleman mantles, a generator for lantern, a baby O-ring kit for many of their appliances, sewing kit and some "Shoe goo" to fix tears in shoes, tents, whatever. Would definitely recommend a separate spare battery 'holster' for your lights and keep the batteries out of them until needed.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Sounds like a great kit customized to your needs. That is what is so fun about these kits. Not only are they so useful but fit our individual tasks. I have received so many great suggestions that I am going to make an updated video with the revisions.

[@bruceclyne5254]

Greetings from Alabama! Well done video from an experienced pro. Your tool selection is spot on. Disregard the trolls and keep up with your great content.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! I appreciate it a lot! There definitely are a few trolls here, but it doesn't bother me at all. The tool kit has been tweaked a good bit since I first made it and has improved quite a bit. A lot of stuff has been eliminated and a few things replaced. The number of sockets were cut in half because many of the metric ones fit imperial perfectly. It is more efficient and I am just about ready to make a video on the updated kit. It has been very handy at work and gets used all the time.

[@regionalskygirl]

My goodness! This is a fantastic little kit 😍

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! A lot of thought went into the kit. Plus it works with other tools that I keep in my office. For example a drill and impact driver.

[@glendonh3711]

Good kit! Loose the tool check since you have a better wrench and two other screw drivers along with bit case. Add a screw extractor pliers a laser distance measure, and a socket rail or two to hold the sockets you are likely to use.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I have gotten so many great suggestions from the comments. I do have a pair of vampliers for extracting screws. They work great. I should be able to fit them into the kit.

[@toolswithtim]

I made a very similar kit fir when I can't bring a full tool bag, or for trips. Same pouch, Tool check plus, and Knipex pluers. You definitely gave me some ideas!

[@LastChanceKnives]

The tool kit has really come in handy! I would love to see yours! Do you have a video on it?

[@andrej2321]

Nice little kit of a tru tradesman. Thank you for sharing. Well done. One of the best comprehensive ones out there, no BS.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! This kit has met my needs. It has had a few tweaks since I made the video to make it even better. Last night I shot a video of a smaller kit that I fits in a cargo pocket. Lately the smaller kit has been used much more than the one in this video. It will post sometime this week.

[@wcropp1]

That Schrade/Vise Grip multi-tool is awesome! Sadly, the names of those two historic companies are all that's left of them. Great kit, thanks for sharing.

[@LastChanceKnives]

It is a shame that so many great American companies have sold out to the Chinese. I have had the Schrade/Vice Grip multitool since sometime in the 1990's. I don't abuse the tool, but use it as a helping hand or when precision vice grips are needed. The vice grips on this tool are really good!

[@CompassCustomCreations]

Nice kit. I hadn't considered carrying drill bits. Certainly something to consider.

[@hulsephoto]

i disagree with the drill bits. He doesn't have anything in his kit to drive them with

[@CompassCustomCreations]

​@@hulsephoto One could certainly use a driver handle to make holes. IMHO a kit such as this isn't meant to do all and be all but rather to make things possible; in some cases affect a quick fix, in others to make a lasting fix.

[@LastChanceKnives]

You can use the screwdriver handle and a bit to make a starter hole, but the real reason for the bits is I keep a drill and impact at work, so the drill bits come in handy. Also, note that all of the driver bits and even the extension that pulls out of the stubby screwdriver are all impact rated. The kit works for me and what other supplemental tools I have handy. At first you may think that the drill bits have no purpose, but that is not the case.

[@3clectic0]

This is how you do it! Great kit!

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! I still use this kit all the time. It got used the past 2 days and prevented me from having to take a ride for tools. There have been a few small tweaks, but it is mostly the same. The tool kit stays in my van since pretty much it is always where I am.

[@3clectic0]

@@LastChanceKnives I also bought the WERA toolkit it' s in my backpack all the time. On my belt I wear a leatherman. Wich gets most of the jobs done.

[@bigjsknives]

All are great tools, those Wera kits have definitely climbed in price the last few years but the seem to be great quality. With what you got there you can get a lot of work completed on the fly!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@LastChanceKnives]

Wera kits have doubled since all of the covid nonsense! They are of very high quality, but no longer worth the high price tag. If I had to make one today I would build the kit myself. A metric/imperial socket set and a selection of 1/4" bits and you have the same thing pretty cheap.

[@thedustyengineer]

Excellent kit. I'd only add a 14mm socket as it is one of the most common sizes.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! The kit has been improved a lot over the months that it has been used. One of the improvements has been the selection of sockets and there is a 14mm in there now. The changes have made a serious improvement and I am just about ready to make an updated video.

[@fialee8ca132]

Nice kit. I would recommend a thicker produce bag(s) or something similar which can double as a trash bag, a bag to hold a bunch of small parts so you don't lose anything, or can sub as a cheap glove when dealing with dirty or wet repairs. Having a disposable bag has been invaluable for me in the past. Best part is that folds easily, and can fit in the netting pocket.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I actually have some bags like that, it is a good idea. I have added disposable gloves in the kit since I need them for working with theater type lighting.

[@davidkurle5418]

Nice setup! Happy New Year, buddy!

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! The kit does come in handy several times a week!

[@NycXTool]

Great kit, that prybar (will do work) & 7" vice grips are both stand outs. Everyone has the rest of these items.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@NycX360 Thanks! The kit has changed just a little, but not much as I adjusted it to things that are encountered regularly. For example zip ties were added for cable management since I am an IT guy. Also some gaffers tape, I also am the sound and lighting tech for the college. This tape is great for holding down cables so no one trips. It sticks strong, but comes up without leaving any sticky residue behind. In a pinch it can be used as electrical tape. Also a pair of disposable gloves for those times fiberglass insulation must be moved to run a cable. There were a few other such changes get that I can't think of right now.

[@landbelowthewind]

This is a perfect collection for most works. one of the best EDC tools. just add a test pen for some electrical related works, just in case.

[@LastChanceKnives]

That is a great idea! I do quite a bit of electrical work. There is an extra screwdriver handle in the kit right now. I have plans for it, but until then, this keeps me from losing it. Once removed a test pen can occupy the space. Thanks for the idea!

[@KeepStackin.999]

My kit is similar to yours. I use the same Maxpedition Beefy. I also have the Knipex twin grip pliers, blue locktite, and superglue. I think those 3 items would complete your kit. And maybe sneak some disposable gloves and zip ties in the back zipper behind the tool check.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Every item that you suggested would be a great addition to the kit. They will be added, thanks!

[@focojeepr]

Well thought out kit. I like your ideas.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks, I will be improving the kit soon. There were a lot of good suggestions in the comments plus the time I have spent using it.

[@TorPaulin]

That's a pretty good kit. Been thinking of putting something like that together. Missing some zip-ties ;)

[@TorPaulin]

And a lamp. I just ordered the olight oclip to add to my kit.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Zip-ties have been added since the video was made. As an IT guy they come in handy for cable management.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I may add something small on the zipper pull. I always carry an 18650 or 21700 based light in my left front pocket anyway, so that's why one isn't in the kit.

[@donschweitzer3045]

Nice piece……the pry bar….never thought of it as a hammer….will definitely 👍 put it in my kit…bravo

[@LastChanceKnives]

When I found the right prybar it hit me that it will also work as a hammer! I will have a video with some revisions coming up soon as well as a small cargo pocket kit. Thanks for taking g a look!

[@IvIidnight]

Going to have to get me one of those stubby Klein Screwdrivers.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Klein makes those screwdrivers in a few different versions. I also have a full size one that also includes sockets for use as a nut driver in addition to driver bits. The extension is longer but still removable, and impact rated.

[@IvIidnight]

@@LastChanceKnives As an ex-sparkie, I love me some Klein! Good to know, thanks. 🙂

[@ralphnye664]

That pretty much seems to be a close to a complete compact kit 😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! The kit has turned out to be a car kit. It is too heavy and bulky to leave in my backpack. I made another kit that is much smaller with just the basics. It is small enough and light enough to stay in my backpack so it is always handy. Look for a video soon.

[@Largepapa2]

You can get the milwaukee fastback box cutter with driver bit and get rid of the extra screwdriver and the knife and make it one. You can get rid of the extra ratchet and replace with with the knipex Twingrip. The Milwaukee inkzall is better than the sharpie. The malco eagle can replace that vice grip for better function and the other tools are redundant. Would switch pencil to a Pica-dry.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Those are all very good ideas for upgrading the tool kit. I put it together from tools that I already had, which means that there is room for improvement over time. I will take a few of your suggestions. One thing that will stay is the screwdriver. All of the bits are impact rated. It can even be used as an extention. I use an impact quite a bit.

[@miked7666]

Best kit so far

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! I have been tweaking the kit a little and it is even better now. I'll be making an update video in a couple of weeks.

Nice kit. I keep some duct tape wrapped around a plastic card and some electrical tape around a Bic lighter. I like that Estwing pry bar. It's too long for my handy kit, but would be a great addition to my truck roll.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@@brianclevenger5521 I have electrical tape wraped around a keychain prybar. It is very handy to have. The next step up for me is gaffers tape. As an IT, Sound, and Lighting guy it is a big step up from Duct tape. Gaffers sticks well but doesn't leave any residue or stickiness behind when pulled up. I need to make an updated video of this kit since it has been tweeked over time. It also may seem like a few items are missing but they are part of my edc. The two compliment each other.

[@ozyrob1]

All nice quality tools.

Great kit. Perhaps an Allen key set could be added?

[@LastChanceKnives]

@BobMcneely Thanks for checking it out! There are Allen bits in the kit, both metric and imperial. I don't think I went through every bit in the kit when I made the video. I have made quite a few improvements and need to make an updated video.

What’s your imperial socket/socket rail brand?

[@LastChanceKnives]

I found a 1/4" rachet set on sale at Harbor Freight. The socket holder is from Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0845YYDFF/ I cut it in half and made two short rails out of it. I would recommend doing the same and skipping the Tool Check Kit. When I bought mine it was just over $30 so it was a good deal. Today the kit is crazy expensive and I can no longer recommend it.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Now your talkin that’s a man’s kit…… I also made a kit like that when I used to do a lot of four wheelin….. great selection of tools Ken…. Thanks for the look Happy New Year be safe out there 😊

It saves me so many trips back to the office to get tools at work. I was off this week and had to come up with a few things to make videos on. I put a safe in my office and keep most of my knives there. It works out better for me since I can make a video or two early in the morning or at lunch time. Have a Happy New Year!

[@googleuser6635]

The Tool Check Plus is either metric or Freedom units. Also is missing sizes I need. Less expensive to build better. I thought of drill bits, but have never missed them. I carry a lot, but every item must constantly earn its place.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@@googleuser6635 when I bought the tool check plus years ago I picked it up for $35. At that price it's a steel, but for what they are going for now it's not worth. It is better to make your own kit.

[@1Barsamian]

His Stanley ratchet is a 3/8, however, the wera sockets in his kit, are 1/4 inch drive. Good luck with that scenario

[@LastChanceKnives]

@1Barsamian Nice try, it is a 1/4" ratchet and works perfectly with all the sockets. It's really funny how many people are negative about this tool kit video. On the other hand, there has been 50 times as much constructional criticism, which is something that I appreciate. It has made this kit even better!

awesome video and kit, that tool check plus is going for around 90 dollars these days its a shame.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@tacocow5815 Wow! You are right about the price. I just checked. I bought my Tool Check Plus several years before covid and paid $35 for it. At that price it was a great deal, but at today's price I cannot recomend it. I am due to post a revised version as the kit has been "tuned " over time. I'll add an alternative option to the Tool Check.

[@olaf_dreyer]

Great kit. One question: Why keep the two Wera screw driver handles? (In the Tool check and the one with the rapidaptor)

[@LastChanceKnives]

The second screwdriver handle is only in the kit right now so that I don't loose it. I am making a much smaller kit and it will probably go in that one. It will be a pocketable kit.

[@onikwa]

Nice, this is basically the kit I've been putting together in my head! Especially running the 180mm sized knipex pliers, anything shorter just sucks to use and fails to do a lot of stuff imo. A couple things though: is the tool check plus even worth it it a kit like this? Especially with how expensive it is now i don't think so. I would swap it for two rails of sockets, a bit rail with whatever you need, and delete the extra plastic space, mini screwdriver and ratchet they since are redundant. I would replace all that with the longest 1/4 square extension that fits in the bag and probably something else useful too.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I do need a 1/4" extension. Today, I would not recommend the Tool Check Kit. It is too expensive right now. It was much cheaper when I bought it. The larger ratchet is in the kit for when a lot of torque needs to be applied. I don't trust the little one in the Tool Check for stubborn fasteners. The extra small screwdriver handle will make its way into a smaller cargo pocket kit. For now there is room and this way I don't lose it!

[@KeepStackin.999]

If you look at the icon ratchet set at HF it takes the place of a tool check, all you need is the sockets.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@@KeepStackin.999 I'll take a look at the Icon set. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@LastChanceKnives Yessir, I am in the same boat, finally. 🙂

[@Baureo]

The ratchet on the tool check is rated to 65Nm (!) and the tool check itself is also available with imperial sockets and keys.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I look at the tool check rachet as more of a bit driver and have a much heavier duty rachet in the kit. When I bought the tool check years ago it was in the $30 price range , which was a great deal. It is a metric kit so that's why I added imperial sockets and customized the driver bit loadout. I still am using the kit today with a few improvements. It is my go to kit for the type of jobs that I do at work.

[@jacobmanalang8162]

solid kit bruther. making me finally spend the $80 bucks on the wera.i know i can go to harbor freight for something similar but ive been watching it also and the price is not going down but i stilll want those sockets. i should do the same with the knipex. i have the vise grip. i also dumped leatherman and went for a sog multiplier so im aall distorted

[@LastChanceKnives]

The Sog should work nicely. I like how they have gears for extra power. I always have a Leatherman P4 on my belt. The Tool Check kit was $35 when I bought it years ago! Today I recommend putting your own together, but it does hold so much stuff neatly in a small package! It's good but the price has skyrocketed.

Also the screwdriver has a removable extension and bits which are all impact rated.

[@cj0204]

I like the idea of carrying the extra sockets. Usually the Wera imperial set is a little cheaper.

[@LastChanceKnives]

The Tool Check kit is way over priced today. I remember paying $35 for it. I would recommend piecing your own set together at the current prices. A 1/4" socket set from Harbor Freight and a couple socket holders would be a good and economical start.

[@hobbes3]

[@LastChanceKnives]

It took me a few days to get the tool bag and a scale together. The weight is 5 pounds 10 ounces. The kit has ended up staying in my van and only carried when it will be used so the weight isn't an issue. Since then I have also put together a much smaller kit that fits in a cargo pocket. It has seen the most use between the two kits because of the size and weight.

IDK what you are talking about when you say that the Wera tool check climbed in price? 3 Camels says it started at $135 in 2020 and averaged ~$100 for the next year, then it dropped to ~$80 for the next two years only became $29 once in Aug of 2023. This one drop was most likely a single vendor clearance event in which if they didn't sell them, Amazon would have taken ownership as per the terms of the Amazon Arbitrage agreement. As for your kit: Not really an item recommendation as such, more like a mod. If you cut a square hole (dremel) in your socket rail on one end (through the rubbery end cap too) the size of the ratchet drive anvil you can store it with the sockets. On the other end of the socket rail, use a section of bungee cord or an elastic hair tie to secure the ratchet from moving off center.

[@LastChanceKnives]

All I know is that when I bought the set 4 or 5 years ago it was a lot cheaper. Every year or so I check the price on Amazon and it keeps going up. I have not looked into the complete history just brief snapshots in time. For example right now the kits range from $83-$112 on Amazon. That is too much money! If they drop like you suggested then buy it ASAP!

so you got three driver handles? 3-4 pliars? all that doubled up weight! all looks remarkably clean and unused also....?

[@LastChanceKnives]

One of the drivers has been removed. It was mainly in there because it fit and so that I wouldn't loose it. The other drivers all have there purpose. The Klien is the main driver and the bits and extension are impact rated which is great because I use an impact driver a lot. The Fix-It-Sticks can be taken apart and used as an extension for a driver or the ratchet. Each piece has it's place. There will be an upcoming revision of the kit to pare it down some and increase it's capabilities. The tools are not new. but I take care of them and don't abuse them. Since they are mostly used for IT work they are not in an environment to get dirty.

[@metricdeep8856]

It's like looking at my own kit...lol. I have a 1/4" extension and no stubby screwdriver.

My pencil kept breaking so I chucked it and I only have a Sharpie...that has become a Stubbie.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I am glad you mentioned a 1/4" extention, I need to add one. I had fix it sticks in the kit before and it could be used a a screwdriver or taken apart and used as an extension. I replaced it with the Klien screwdriver but didn't add an extension yet. These are handy kits!

Thanks! Someone else also suggested supper glue. I already got some and added it to the kit. It is something that I do use about twice a month. There are several other updates, so I will make a new video in a few weeks.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@indianprepper2478 I have a small Maxpedition Slingpack that goes to work with me everyday. I keep a fixed blade in it, so one is always handy. I do carry a Leatherman and a good stout folder on me all the time. I make my own fixed blades and sheaths.

Even as an American electrician, i only carry Metric sockets. I despise having both, it’s redundant imo.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I hear that! I wish we would just have one standard and stick to it.

We did, before those pesky metric fasteners started being used by the auto mfgs 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[@LastChanceKnives]

@scubasteve7946 Don't get me started on vehicles! Years ago I had to change the spark plugs on a Buik Regal. The power steering pump had to be moved to access one of the plugs, which was bad enough. The bracket had 3 bolts, 2 of them standard and the 3rd metric! Very irritating!

What is the purpose of the flag moral patch? Why not a patch that states the purpose of the kit for quick identification?

[@LastChanceKnives]

@kbcee The purpose ot the flag moral patch is simply that I love my country! Even though things are not going the way they should right now, we'll leave it at that for now. The kit doesn't need identification for me since it is the only black bag like it that I have. I do have an identification patch on my first aid kit. That is an important one for me or anyone else to be able to identify.

Holy redundancy batman.

The Tool-Check Plus is around 100 Usd in Sweden😑

[@LastChanceKnives]

The Tool Check kit has gone nuts here too and I can no longer recommend it. Use a socket holder like I did. I bought a cheap bar type socket holder and cut it to fit. Less than half of the bar was used so two of them can be made. Just buy a cheap 1/4" socket set and make your own kit, skip the Tool Check! When I bought mine way back before covid it cost $35 US.

[@dahlmasen3084]

@@LastChanceKnives Yeah I’m looking into making a EDC tool kit and I’ve always wanted the Tool-Check Plus but I think I’ll be going for a good quality ratchet and screwdriver instead

[@davidpaul7707]

Everything in that kit looks very useful, I'm not sure whether the knipex stuff is worth the money, kinda like a write in the rain note book, or space pen that everyone puts in their kits, you added a pencil thats a smart use of money, otherwise useful stuff in your kit

[@LastChanceKnives]

The Knipex are worth the money if you frequently use this type of tool. They grip better and do not slip which means that you do not damage the fastener that you are working on. I would say that between the pliers and the pliers wrench it's the pliers wrench that I use most often. They are much better than an adjustable. The write in the rain stuff is not worth the money unless you find yourself in a wet environment quite often. Years ago on my channel I made a video on converting a very cheap pen to a write in the rain one. A quick mod allows it to accept the refills which are available cheap. I like the cartridges because they are pressurized and will write with the pen upside down.

I would add tin snips. Still legit thou

[@LastChanceKnives]

I do use tin snips. I have a couple pair at home and keep a pair in my office for fabricating things out of sheet metal. Most of the time that involves something like cutting up the cover from an old PC to make a mount for a component in an audio equipment rack, or other similar type things. I don't use them enough to warrant adding snips to the kit. Plus when snips are needed usually other larger tools are ae well. The thing that is so great about these kits is that they can be customized to our individual needs. This one is set up mainly for common tasks that I come across at work. Lately I have been leaving it in my car so it is always close by if a tool is needed.

[@82sjmc]

80 bucks is the new 40.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I don't recommend the Tool Check kit, it's way overpriced today! When I originally bought it a few years before covid it was a good deal. A cheap Harbor Freight 1/4" socket set and a socket holder cut down to fit is all you need.

[@egbluesuede1220]

Love to see an IT repair use that duct tape! LOL.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Well when they drop a riser on a monitor cable and cut the speaker wire in half right before a concert, the tape makes for a quick temporary repair. I use duct tape all the time for audio work since in my position I am responsible for the sound and lighting at a college. I am over all of the tech at the college. Just because it is not useful to you doesn't mean nobody else needs an item.

[@egbluesuede1220]

I was kidding of course. I carry 5 kinds of tape in my kit for various fixes. Doesn't take up much room

[@thomascook1640]

if you work on computers you defiantly need to have a little harbor freight pick or a paper clip....you know why.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@@thomascook1640 I keep a paper clip in my wallet. It is needed often enough that I never want to be without one. So many times a simple reset fixes a device. My multitool also has a micro screwdriver that will serve the same purpose. Electrical tape is kept wrapped around a keychain prybar. I don't just do IT but also sound and lightimg for a college so for me gaffers tape is a big step up from duct tape. I have to make a new video on the kit since it has been upgraded and also go over how it works with my edc. A few items seem to be missing but they are on my person.

[@KuSQ3N]

I feel like you can take away alot of tools. You have 2x of alot of them

[@LastChanceKnives]

@KuSQ3N Over time the tool kit has been refined. I'll probably make a video on version 2 in the future. Some of the redundancy is necessary. Many fasteners that I deal with have to be held on both sides. I also work on knives and need two drivers and two of each torx bit for the pivots. That said over time I have been able to make the kit a lot more efficient.

[@zzzetsulive]

im seeing 3, maybe 4 bit drivers, too many.

[@LastChanceKnives]

There are 3 drivers that were in the kit. One of them is no longer in it. It was there so that I didn't loose it since there was room. I do need 2 drivers as one of the things I do is knife maintenance. Quite a few knife pivots require a driver on each side to loosen.

We had something years ago it was called a toolbox

[@LastChanceKnives]

Still have a toolbox, rolling toolbox, tool bags...... but it is not always needed and not always close by. A small portable kit takes care of most of what I need on a daily basis at work. Why carry 10 times more than what is needed? For an occasional bigger job, which I know of in advance I will bring the proper tools.

[@podocrypto6072]

@@LastChanceKnives I don't have to. You know there have been dozens of the same vids on the same exact tool sets put out, that you can just follow them and put out the exact same content with the same tools, just like all the other lemmings are doing, like you don't have any experience on your own and need to copy someone's content, thinking that no one on the planet hasn't seen those yet and you shilling it like you were the only one that came up with that combo from scratch and long term experience. So it's like a bunch of dogs running in the same circle chasing each other's tail, ad nauseum. I really don't understand why youtube has so many copy cats out there spinning the same shit, but another person doing it, like it's specifically unique to you and where no one else has done that before. Anyway, I'm digressing. Someone in that group will eventually see someone think outside of the box, using real long term experience and show something that drops the jaw of most of you guys.

You have way too many repeats in your tool kit. Cut it down to just having one of each type of tool and you’ll save space and weight in your EDC bag.

I have already been working on an updated version of the tool kit. I also need to better explain a few of the choices and slim it down a bit. Some of them probably don't make sense to everyone since they are specific to the work that I do.
