Tool Pouch Loadout Setup 3.0

[@ralphdoid]

One of the more elegant and well thought out small loadouts I've seen..

​@@ralphdoid I didn't know the butane evaporates out of the BIC lighters.

[@ralphdoid]

@@unitedstatesirie7431 I suppose it could be unintentionally released if it's crowded.. but I've heard people wrap a ziptie underneath the button to keep it from being depressed..

Butane evaporates out of the zippo lighters. BIC lighters are sealed and have a much longer shelf life.

[@fastxsam]

I should have never found your page. I see the time and methodical process put into your pouch. Now I must go buy a pounch and start my own set. And since you asked, I'm an electrician and I like to carry jumpers and/or a U-shapped solid cable for shorting/trouble shooting. I keep them in a slim pouch where I have the exact same Aneng tester. Those little meters are so versatile.

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks and thanks for watching! Jumpers are a great idea.

[@rustybarrel516]

[@juskojj]

this is probably the best kit i've seen thus far!! it's interesting having the knipex plier/wrench and socket heads...

[@juskojj]

is there a reason for both the socket heads and knipex plier/wrench?

[@projectpinehills]

That’s a good question. Three reasons. 1. The Knipex Pliers wrench can act as a sort of portable vise. 2. There are recessed locations where the pliers wrench can’t reach. 3. The pliers wrench can open a lot larger than the largest socket I have. Thanks for watching!

[@juskojj]

@@projectpinehills that's what i assumed :) at least for the recessed locations

[@914Rocky]

Great video. I love that ratchet. I use a tool roll so I have larger versions of the knipex wrench and pliers. I have a Tool Check Plus which checks many of your boxes. I use one of those 7 in 1 Wera screwdrivers instead of the Klein which I have in my garage with my main set of tools. I do like that the Klein has another row of bits but the tool check plus has that covered. Great video. I also carry a Bahco folding saw and a pretty versatile K bar fixed blade. I have had to use the saw several times to deal with downed trees of all things that were blocking roads. I’m totally buying a small pry bar for my EDC roll. I also carry a truckers friend. Boy do I love that beast. I’ve used that a bunch of time when I’ve needed a heavy duty pry bar and for demo work. And it has a decent hammer head. It’s a beast and it’s always handy to have a cheap beast like on hand. Although I just looked, they aren’t so cheap anymore. Yikes. I love love love that pen. A bit pricey as plenty of lights and pens in my edc but it’s way cool. You should do an edc first aide video. I’ve got the mother of all first aide rolls in my car that I’ve spent years and years fitting out.

[@projectpinehills]

Thank you! You’ve given me a lot of good ideas that I will be checking out. I did buy another pry bar that’s in the video description now. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@olearydj]

There are a few really good and different recommendations / choices in this video. Good work.

Best EDC build out I've seen

[@projectpinehills]

Thank you and thanks for watching! 👍

[@ericb40380]

Not sure if you could fit it or have a need, but I was able to add a small hammer to mine with the Roxon H1 Rhino. I was on a quest to build the smallest, fully functional kit I could in a maxpedition mini double decker. Most multi tool hammers are trash. But I will say this one is useful. Obviously you're not framing a house with it. But for light duty tapping and prying, it absolutely does the job.

[@federer0]

Best loadout ive seen in years of youtube

[@projectpinehills]

Thank you, much appreciated. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@spencerpearson1321]

I have something similar set up in my handyman kit using a maxpedition pocket organizer (almost identical pouch). the best part is they’re $35 and constantly on Bogo mix & match since they come in a bunch of sizes. I’ve used their micro organizer for nearly 4 years as a pocket organizer/wallet.

[@projectpinehills]

That’s a nice option as well. Thanks for posting! 👍

[@jonathanlloyd919]

I feel that one thing missing from this great set of tools is a pair of standard 7WR vice grips. You absolutely need something that clamps and locks. The pliers wrench has done a good job of replacing the adjustable wrench,but nothing has made the trusty vice grip obsolete.

[@projectpinehills]

I think that's a good point and I thought about vice grips but I just don't use them that much. It's certainly something you could add though. Vice grips are one of those tools, when you need them, you need them. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@willb3018]

Nice update. Always tweaking to improve an already well thought out common sense "minimalist" load out.

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍

[@Rick40years]

A micro socket set works great. Includes common sockets, torx bits, screw driver heads. Also a small vice grips has many uses. My edc bag is used for enduro dirt biking. So lot of survival stuff.

[@projectpinehills]

Yeah I’ve thought about having locking pliers. That would be a good one to add. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@projectpinehills]

Thank you and thanks for watching! 👍

[@sociopathmercenary]

Thanks for the loadout videos! I have a basic system where I have a few of the bucket buddies. One each for general maintenance, electrical, plumbing and drywall/masonry. Also a clear tote or two for consumables and bigger stuff... Electrical, plumbing, painting, drywall, PPE, etc. I'm working to put together a tool backpack and a smaller kit for my motorcycle. This is definitely helpful. I've tried a couple different tool rolls but I haven't really liked the organization options there.

[@projectpinehills]

I’m glad it was helpful. I like how you have those job specific buckets. That’s a good approach.

[@ParkerBinion]

Awesome pouch! For scissors, maybe add the Klein 2100 electrician snips? For something smaller, the the Roxon M3 is the best folding scissors on the market. Unless you work on pretty rare bolt sizes, you can save some space on the sockets. The most common bolts are M5, M6, M7, M8, 3/8", 5/16" and 1/4". The following metric sockets fit all of those: 8, 10, 11, 13, 14. Your Makita metric set has all of those except the 14. The simplest thing would be to add a Klein 13/14 flip socket to the 13 hole in your seven-piece Makita metric set. To save even more space, you could cut off the 6 and the 7 holes, leaving you with the exact five sockets needed for the most common bolts: 8, 10, 11, 12, 13/14. 12 is pretty rare, and just along for the ride here. Klein also sells an 8/10 flip socket. So you could cut off the 8 hole and reduce that down to a four piece socket set that covers most situations: 10/8, 11, 12, 13/14.

[@projectpinehills]

I like those scissors and the reducing the socket count. I’m going to follow up on that. Thanks for posting! 👍

[@calebbyler4360]

I absolutely love it ❤ the tools are not micro and extremely useful The only thing I would add if there was room is the Knipex bolt cutters 😢 I just don’t see a Way to fit them in there they’re about a half inch longer than the cobras and the pliers wrench best tool loadout I’ve seen yet for the size and I’ve pretty much seen them all. I’m addicted to videos like this nice work man. Epic you’re a legend. 😊

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks, I hope you subscribed! lol I've used this tool pouch even when I have larger tool bags to ensure it has what it needs for typical jobs. Yeah Knipex Cobolts would be nice. I'll check and see if they fit. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@everythingnerd7168]

One of the best if not the best I’ve seen. The only thing I think is missing is a small simple multimeter that I could not do without. A nice to have that is missing is a stripper/crimper.

[@projectpinehills]

You saw the multimeter in the video? Strippers would be nice. Maybe better to have those than the snap-on long nose pliers.

[@everythingnerd7168]

@@projectpinehills My mistake! I missed that meter the first time through. That thing is pretty cool. Tough call between strippers and long nose. I find myself using strippers more often personally but long nose would probably be more generally useful

[@knghtbrd]

That's a fairly capable set of tools. Appreciate that you didn't just decide you needed to completely go nuts with all the "EDC fad" products necessarily. You've got the Knipex tools-but they're in a tool pouch and they genuinely are very useful tools if you have a use for them. But I also see you're using stuff from Klein and relatively cheap (but very effective) Makita sockets. The only thing that sounds gimmicky to me is the Olight pen, but actually it's probably a good idea in poor lighting. Just about everything else was … it fits, it's a useful tool, and it's good value for the money. Sounds like a win to me!

[@projectpinehills]

I was trying to make this practical, something that you would want to use. It would be interesting to see new small tool pouches that have vertical tool storage that close come out in the market. Thanks for posting!

[@mrhalfstep]

This is pretty well thought out. I don't think you need anything other than maybe a 6 or 7 inch mill smooth flat file. Same thing in round, triangle and knife shapes would open up a whole world of metal, wood and plastic shaping options in a small form factor, if you have the skills as well and expect to need to do some of that type work. I find that a cheap 2" "C" clamp fits in a kit like this nicely and makes a serviceable "vise" in a pinch. A small Vise Grip is almost as handy. Thanks for sharing your content.

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for the feedback, some good suggestions. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@tandjstrick1289]

I have a similar loadout in my EDC pouch...but I have some redundancy. I also have noted some items you have that I am going to replace my items with. This was very well thought out and I can honestly say I am proud of my loadout as well, now, given that I see some similarities! Well done, Sir - i am a new sub now also after this video and multiple on the Klein tools you have done - which I am a fan.

I usually have a few releasable cable ties secured to rings, zipper pulls, or loops.

[@projectpinehills]

Good idea. Thanks for posting! 👍

[@whiteb0rd]

Very Nice. You mentioned wire, I'd suggest 24" or more of bare or insulated copper wire (some old romex core), formed into a shape to fit around the outside of the back pockets, plus some safety wire prepared and stored the same way on the other side. I like a set of small needlenose vicegrips (with a wirecutter!), a 6" curved and straight hemostat, some superglue, and a few bandaids. Also, I'd recommend wrapping a couple of feet of quality duct tape around your lighter, and a few feet of paracord. You can add some additional paracord as cobra-knot tied over the handle like a military-style bracelet. A stainless pocket ruler/depth gauge/straightedge takes almost no space, and while we're at it, cut down a pair of chopsticks to fit for lunch, and fine, insulated manipulation.

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for the feedback, you have a lot of good ideas I will be exploring. Thanks for watching!

[@whiteb0rd]

@@projectpinehills The cool thing about the vicegrips, hemostats, superglue and paracord is they do double-duty as first aid items. If you have a really bad bleed, the vicegrips can function as a large hemostat, superglue can close a clean cut nicely, paracord can make a sling or a tourniquet, duct tape can hold a dressing in place, etc.

[@projectpinehills]

Good point, I didn’t think about that.

[@michaelmartin2262]

I did something similar to this but I used the Vanquest FTIM 6X9 ($40). The way the pouch opens makes it perfect for pulling out tools up to 7inch but I did have two 8inch in there as well. So I also wanted to hold a impact driver and got a small tactical sling bag for $20 and attached the FTIM to the front. Works perfect, it holds up to 6 10in or less and has pouch space for impact or whatever. Everything is about 15Ibs normally, up to 20 if I am adding impact or filling it up.

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for posting. I have thought about using the Vanquest FTIM, I like the way it opens. I’m going to check it out.

[@applausen2188]

I also keep an assortment of different types/sizes of screws, bolts and nuts and washers. It’s in a small zip lock bag. It’s always handy to have something to secure different things so also some steel wire and some different components for small electronics. So basically some items that most of the tools in the bag can use:)

[@projectpinehills]

That’s a great idea. I could think of a couple ideas of what to store them in. Thanks for posting! 👍

Not a bad set up. If you find it a bit bulky to carry, I'd recommend a veto pro pac mb with a sling strap. It's easy to carry and you swing it round to access tools without taking it off. You'd probably want to add a tool roll though to keep items a little more organised. I prefer slight smaller tools that fit in my pockets, mostly for quick repair, or a least removing covers and diagnosing faults before going back for spares and my tool box. Over 18 years on the tools I've constantly tweaked my set up, as I add to it, then try to reduce it down to the essentials, refining it. My current work day EDC is: - Amprobe DM78C pocket meter with A7 notepad refill in the case - Open O'pen Pro Titanium - Facom R1PICO 1/4″ Drive Flexi Ratchet Set Keys: - Knipex Small Control Cabinet Key 00 11 02 - Carbocage Keycage Key organiser - Nite Ize S-Biner Micro Maxpedition Micro containing: - Knipex Cobra 125mm chrome - Knipex Pliers Wrench 125mm chrome - Leatherman Skeletool KBX pocket knife - Knipex 110mm diagonal side cutters - Asahi Lightool 8 x 10 wrench - Ashi Lightool 10 x 13 wrench (custom) - Teng 4in power grip long nose pliers - Klein Tools 4 in 1 pocket Screwdriver 32614 - Snap-on 5” straight mini pocket pry bar PBMS5 - Moore and Wright 70mm Miniature Vernier Caliper - Yato flat diamond need file (cut down to fit) - ABUS Titalium 30mm padlock - 100mm stainless cable ties x 2 - 100mm cable ties x 6 - M3 tap case with 2 x 500mA, 1A and 2A fuses - Festo 6mm inline connector and blank - Wago inline connector - 200mm of insulated wire - Electrical insulation tape on flat card Currently testing - Tsunoda MNK-100 mini side cutters (Alternative to Knipex 110 cutters) - Vessel 220 USB +plus electric screwdriver

The only things I have on my tool list misssing from yours are a toothbrush, titanium drill bits, drill guide, knipex twin grips and cobolt cutters, carpenters pencil and a mirror. I realize these cant all fit in the vanquest. This helps me understand how compact this set up can be. I do love the milwaukee 48-22-5506 tape measure and the railer magmat minis though. Also the wiha microbit adapter 75802. I am waiting for the icon long nose slip joint pliers in 7". The 10" snapon ones from your review look a biit mega for my needs.

Nice to see some useful full size tools in this EDC compared to the many not so useful micro tools you see in most other EDCs. Not much duplication which is great too! I would definitely check out Titan pry bars in place of the one you listed. It doesn't have the multi functions but if you need to actually pry you won't have to fear it breaking. They also have quite a sharp edge on the one side if you needed a metal scraper in some instances. I was surprised at their quality. You have me thinking on that plastic razor scraper its an interesting piece. I can't imagine this getting much better if you did a 4.0 and I can see the specific items tailored to your needs so you can tell it's been used. Definitely appreciate the links. I will certainly be grabbing up a couple of these for my kit. Subbed. Thanks!

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for the feedback. The Titian pry bars are a great suggestion, I've added them to the video description. They are flatter and 7 1/4" and definitely would work. Thanks for subbing, very much appreciated!

My EDC is a 12 drawer Craftsman toolbox. Yup. Put backpack straps on it and voila......ready to tear down a V8 engine at any moment. I've included a full set of Roybi 18+ power tools with 6 batteries and 2 solar chargers.

[@projectpinehills]

Sounds perfect. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@MarzNet256]

Cool. You should checkout a 4140 pry tool. It's very compact, strong and comes to a very thin edge. Also, a set of 1/4" hex drive nut setters is another affordable compact option for hex head fasteners.

[@projectpinehills]

I’ll check it out. Thanks for watching!

[@chuckdeez810]

love this thoughtful load out - especially with the vertical orientation - I wanted to size up on the Vanquest, but the larger ones for whatever reason have the right side go horizontal. If you were to swap out the Klein for a ratcheting handle which one would you pick? The new Klein 32500HDRT seems great, but you lose the bit storage in the handle, as well as the adjustable length shank which I like as well. The Wera seems like a good option for that then?

[@projectpinehills]

If you want ratcheting and bit storage in the handle, Wera. Thanks for watching!

[@chuckdeez810]

@@projectpinehills I assume you went with the Klein bc the ratcheting would be taken care of with the VIM tool? Thanks!

[@projectpinehills]

@chuckdeez810 went with it because the shaft collapses and it has bit storage in the handle. I think the PB Swiss pocket insider is also a great option. I want a screwdriver that I can quickly put into use.

My local hardware store has started carrying 3 packs of single use superglue - .5g. I added 3 to my (very similar to yours) pouch.

[@projectpinehills]

That’s a good idea. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@michaeldriscoll6976]

Thank you, good sir! Your videos are very well done! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and opinions quite a bit, and youve turned me on to some great tools! For That Japanese ratcheting ball end screwdriver you recently reviewed has become my current favorite. I love that thing!

[@projectpinehills]

@@michaeldriscoll6976 That’s awesome, Much appreciated!

[@oldironguy]

The 180 on the Knipex tools is the overall length ie, 180 mm or 180 Millemeters.

[@projectpinehills]

That’s right. Thanks for watching!

[@dnbstreamer]

you bring your tools to Electric Daisy Carnival?

[@projectpinehills]

I may, have you attended before?

[@dnbstreamer]

no I havent, it's just everytime I see a video of EDC i think of the music festival...and I was bored so I decided to make the bad joke lol@@projectpinehills

[@projectpinehills]

@dnbstreamer ha, that makes sense! Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching! 😁

[@Alexzac87296]

I thought you didn’t like the 14 in 1 screwdriver from what I last saw in your review of it.

[@projectpinehills]

That was the original version, Klein addressed the issues. I have a Klein 20-in-1 video that talks about it. Thanks for watching!

[@Alexzac87296]

@@projectpinehills ohh okay I see that makes sense! Great content as always!

What is the brand of that small meter?

[@projectpinehills]

The multimeter is the ANENG A3008. Here is a link to it: amzn.to/3rfOgj7 I have a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqGZdZpriL55b80si=T_6b3yDpS7o5ouux

[@davidmcgee2126]

So your vim ratchet looks exactly like the icon you took the bits from. Why use it over the icon?

[@projectpinehills]

The icon would work just as well or you could use Railer bits instead of icon. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@brandonhackler9624]

What auto meter are you using?

Looks good the only thing I would do different is add some wire strippers

That would he helpful. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@Chromed121]

Do you use these tools ? Wish I could keep my tools that clean .

[@projectpinehills]

The pouch is new, as are the tools. Thanks for watching!

[@egbluesuede1220]

It's almost scary the similarities between your bag and mine. Same pouch, and many of the same tools including brands! A few differences.....I carry a pen sized precision oiler to lube things when needed, some cheap small diamond files, a pin vise and drill bits up to 1/8" (for pilot holes or small drilling tasks). I love that Snap On needle nose pliers, but in mine I carry a 4" vise grip with needle nose tips. Thought that would double to hold things when combined with other tools.

[@projectpinehills]

That's interesting they are so similar. I always like to hear other ideas. I all our ideas. I'll have to check the items you mentioned. I like the locking long nose pliers idea. Thanks for watching!

[@DevinReissing]

What’s the estimated cost for this load out?

[@projectpinehills]

I’d need to add the total up with the links in the description.

[@steve197232]

Excellent!

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks and thanks for watching! 👍

[@JohnW118]

Suggest you look at Knipex TwinGrip pliers (82 01 200) for your kit. They are 8" but if they fit would be a good complement to your Snap-On slip joint pliers. If you've ever had to grab a nut or bolt straight-on there is nothing like the TwinGrip pliers (I've owned Vampliers but they were not comparable in performance).

[@projectpinehills]

I do like the Knopex TwinGrips. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@picnicsinspace198]

LOve it :) I bought the bag, I like it. I think I need to get a pair of those snap on needle nose or similar tool. I also have the Vim ratchet you showed, and I love it. For awhile it was sold out. What size neo magnet did you use in your bag?

[@projectpinehills]

I have a link in the description. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@markhines]

I’m just curious what you all use all these tools on. I’m a finance dork and am down the rabbit hole of EDC kits. This is a very impressive build out, but I’d never use it. What on earth do the rest of you do with this stuff? Truly curious.

[@projectpinehills]

Well either fix stuff or assemble things or you don’t. Maintenance is what they are used for. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@drewmueller3913]

Whats "EDC?EDCM" mean? Should have some fuses in there.

That’s Vanquest “Everyday Carry Maximizer.” Thanks for posting.

[@EffTwoFiddy]

third and final loadout.... lol... you clearly know what you're doing, but since you obviously love tools as much as i do, you have to know that it's eternally evolving. sub'd

[@projectpinehills]

Ha, thanks for subscribing! Thats true, always evolving but I was thinking this would be the last video of that setup. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@sandy_knight]

The final version! Does that mean you're about to retire? 😜 (A loadout that's stopped evolving is like a tree that's stopped growing)

[@projectpinehills]

😁Haha, I had the same thought. I’ve already had some changes I will try from the comments. No it means it will probably be the final video on the subject. Thanks for watching!

[@se8asti4ns57]

Nice kit... but i think it would be better with an SAK in it. 😅

[@projectpinehills]

How big a knife?

[@se8asti4ns57]

@@projectpinehills Maybe the Victorinox Ranger because you have a lot of handy tools(for precision) în a small package. The most usefull that I don't see în your kit would be: Scissors, Tweesers, File(for wood, metal, nails etc), saw(very good for wood or plastic), large blade(for the things that you can't cut with your utility blade), Reamer(punch) and the other tools that come with it. A lot of good tools packed în a small space with the Victorinox...but maybe you have it în your pocket😁 Just my opinion. Anyways, cool kit!!!
