I think you could use a flashlight,a small coil of copper wire and nano cord of kevlar.

Great video! Chiming in a little late, but I think a great inclusion would be a contractor trash bag, folded to fit in that large back pocket. It's not a sexy item, but you can used for lots of different situations in different ways. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Great toolkit. 👍 I'll carry some additional stuff (small pieces): • 3×3 rubber pad (from tyre tube) - helps grip pipe/rounded stuff without marring • sandpaper • rags • nitrile gloves • mini WD40/mineral oil (repack in eyedrop bottle) Small pieces for small EDC toolkit. There are many instances where these items helped when away from big toolbox.

Very comprehensive. The big pry bar takes up so much space IMO. The BID AND FixIt together are probably excessive and your mileage may vary. Personally I would put in either the WERA Tool Check + which has sockets! Or the HB ICON ratchet set and add some sockets. I would however add 1. Thin 10mm magnets - very handy 2. Heat shrink tubing 3. Small tape measure 4. Some rubber tubing to cut as required 5. Zip ties 6. Precision screwdriver 7. Some form of shop cloth 8. A simple voltage tester 9. Small strips of VHB tape 10. A small nylon toothbrush 11. T-Shank saw bits to cut whatever. Although I have yet to find a decent compact holder (other than what's on my Leatherman Surge) and finally 12. A long nosed pencil/marker.

Those solder seals are very underrated imho. I used them to connect up a glow plug control module in a very tight spot where my soldering iron would have struggled to get. Been years and it's held up perfectly well. I like that it's waterproof too.

I think this covers most areas so I don't have anything to add. I think my suggestions are more to get alternatives to something-- that you currently have. So it's a longshot. I have multiple multiple screwdrivers like you do. But I'd say my main, true main is the Wera Tool-Check Plus. I like them so much I"m actually considering a second one for my car as well, even though the garage is just outside. But imo it's far better than the other EDC screwdrivers I have (I have the Bit Inline, Big Idea Design EDS2, Topo screwdriver, James Cache River, Victorinox L shape) The Wera Tool check Plus is just so awesome. Also the screwdriver is just so much more natural to use and it's what I reach for. It has everything. You basically don't need another screwdriver, you're covered on bits and covered on sockets. And yes, the Fixit Sticks have you already covered. But imo the Wera Tool Check Plus is just what I naturally use over everything I have. As for the Cheat Key, I'd remove it and put it in a Bugout bag instead. In that Bugout, you put it in your car and that includes things like tire inflator, tire repair, self-jumping batteries like the NOCO, poncho, reflective gear, first aid, food and water for 72 hours, basically everything recommended in Vehicle EDC Reddit. Basically the 'key' doesn't belong in an everyday carry set. It's more of an 'oh shit' item. For the Bic, see if you can half the size. Make it a Bic Mini. For the Pry Bar, no one can win on preference, but imo you can get one that has similar function but smaller real estate. For the razor knife, if you want to cut your space down, check out the ceramic Slice cutter. Amazing cutter but thumbsized. Lastly while completely and entirely subjective, check out the small tool roll by QEES. Unlike most other tool rolls, these are smaller and have 5 slots with zippers. Super handy. It allows you to later mentally associate each slot with something.

I like to carry a few alcohol prep pads for cleaning up a surface prior to gluing or taping. Also, you touch on it with the extreme notes, but I like having a Rite-in-the-Rain notepad dedicated to my tool kit-I even keep the first page of that notepad as a “Things to Modify” page for the toolkit so when I’m out doing stuff and think, “dang, wish I had X” I’ve got a specific place to make that note. I will definitely be looking into a Fix-It-Stick

Seems like you stuffed that tool roll to the maximum level😂

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite EDC channels.

I switched to the torch style butane lighters a few years back. Some are tiny. The flame is much more useful and wind proof. But Bic still takes it for durability.

The telescoping magnet is clutch! It's saved me sooo many times!

Small vial of baking soda. Many many uses. Dying battery corrosion, antacid, adhesive aggregate, etc. One full sized real driver with tips is better than toys and maybes. Stick of graphite. Many many uses.

I'd add a few plastic spudgers. Titanium prybars are great until you're trying to take apart a piece of electronics that's clipped together which would get marred by metal implements. Plus often you'll undo one clip, leave the spudger in place, reach for another, and work your way around whatever you're opening that way. They're relatively small and light and shouldn't add too much bulk.

I would add a small spool of micro cord, 6 ft tape measure and a few zip ties. I always add a couple of bandaids to my tool kits

In my opinion, you need a small set of 1/4 inch sockets and a calico cloth to allow you to put all the tools in use on the cloth

This is an infinite rabbit hole. It's possible we all need to get better at narrowing down what is really needed...but where's the fun in that? Here's some ideas to extend/diversify capabilities: - Small tea light: like lighter but frees up a hand when doing heat-stuff, wax is also a lubricant and can drip onto things as sealant - Repair materials: assorted diameters of wire for quick fixes, silicone self-adhesive tape for insulation/waterproofing, polycaprolactone "friendly plastic" in a small sheet (melts in hot water, can form/cast into repair patches, handles and even crude tool bits) - mixed liquids in small dropper bottles or heat-sealed straws: solvents (contact cleaner, adhesive remover, acetone, 99% isopropanol for things acetone will damage), disinfectants (iodine, bactine, liquid band aid), 2-part epoxy. - Adhesive aids: baking soda as accelerator/thickener for CA glue, cyanoacrylate debonder gives you an "undo" button for that glue and some sort of fibrous wicking backing for adhesive, like fibreglass or denim; makes a sort of composite patch. Use above solvents for surface prep and removing debonder. - Chunk of magic eraser foam - (when used with solvents) best way to remove marker, residual adhesive or sticky films from aging plastic. - Instruments (can't fix what you can't see!): some kind of magnifier (Fresnel, loupe or something like Carson micromini with UV and white light built in), compact multi-meter (UNI-T UT120C), magenetic viewing film, in-line USB volt/amp/watt meter. - Sewing kit needs a regbuild: Swap some of those threads with upholstery weight ones for heavy repairs, add a needle threader or two, small seam ripper and maybe a thimble (even if just a plastic one) and maybe a monocular loupe. - Wax/cotton ear plugs: fire starter, plug leaks, protect hearing (you'll thank me when you're older!) - Strips of mixed grit sand paper (sharpening, replace those files when wrapped around squewers) - Workspace/dump pouch/folding tray: where you keep all the bits while you're in the middle of using them

Great start. I would eliminate: The star tool ( you could toss it in with your spare tire) The metal box( you’re packing air)those small parts will be fine in the zippered pouch. The lockpicks The very expensive bit bar- plenty of torque with the fixit stix t handle. The fixit stix plastic parts holder The mini bolt cutter On the fence about the long nose vise-grip and hemostat forceps. Add: Stream light stylus pro led light or compact headlamp 6” adjustable wrench Small coil of steel wire Makita 1/4 sockets in the vinyl holders. SAE and metric.

I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed with these styles of tool kits! We have A LOT of the same gear! I'm definitely getting those bolt cutters and a magnet pen. One stroke of genius I've had is a sheet of rubber, it comes in SO handy when you need extra grip. Maybe I should make a video of my one...

strongly strongly appreciate that you've sorted the hyperlinks for us. only notes, needle nose pliers. The forceps are good to have but theyre not robust like the Knipex. the needle nose vice isnt really meant for just grabbing and manipulating because the screw controls the mouth. you've given me great ideas and I really love the channel, keep up the great work

Dominic, great video as always! You produce such great content. I do have a few inputs you might consider. First, I am not to savy with the fixit stick setup but I have been rocking the ICON 1/4" Rachet Set (Harbor Freight) with the small Makita socket sets they sell at Home Depot. I believe the thickness of the ICON set is about the same as the Fixit Stick holder and it gives you loads of bits, T-Driver capabilities, rachet, and extension among other things. I also as a backup I rock a Klein Super Screwdriver which is the combination of two Klein drivers (14-in-1 adjustable with bit storage in the handle and their flipsocket extension). Secondly, a small precision driver with bit storage in handle (Hoto or Klein) would do wonders. The above options might add a little bulk but more functionality and bits in my opinion. Third, DeWalt has a great small 9' tape measurer. A Voltage Tester is always welcome and finally I always rock a Work Sharp Field Sharpener.

A jewlers loupe. They come in pretty compact sizes these days and if you have a phone clamp in your car, then you would have a makeshift magnification table to use some of your finer implements 👍🏾

I agree with you, sometimes I change my tool kit weekly because it can always be better!

Great kit. I love the roll. I keep q tips in a zip lock bag so they don’t fray or get dirty. Throw a couple bandaids in the altoid tin. With all those sharp tools you may need one.

I think you did a great job! I love tool kits and have been putting g together one of my own, and you gave me some ideas. A few things I would recommend: some ranger bands can be helpful and very versatile. A magnifying or fresnel lens if you need to do some close up work. And maybe some sand paper? You have the files though which might do the trick. I got some small sharpening sheets from Grim Workshop which are basically credit card sized pieces of sandpaper in different grits. Just a couple random ideas.

How to improove your pack?: Remove some things, you want to keep only the neccecitys! -That big ol star wrench? How often have you actually used that... that seems like a complete waste and dangerous in the wrong juristictions. Use pliers instead! -Toss the Forcecepts, Keep the tweezers, you have that magnetic wand! -Are you an electrician? If not, then leave those solder seals at home. -Why the everloving F do you have 2 bit kits? Choose eighter the dewalt or the fancy shmancy titanium one. -Why do you have 5 sets of specific pliers? One small set of pipe wrench and your multitool, if it takes more than that, you need a PROPPER TOOL KIT!!! -Carbide scribe is a waste. You have blades of good steel, use the tip to scribe. -You dont need an extra Extendo utility blade, you allready have a knife, Multitool or utility knife. You have 3 types of Adhesive with you... toss the UV Resin, superglue is practically the same. My tool kit: Ducktape ~5m 5 Small Zipties Multitool (Victoinox Handyman/Cybertool M/Leatherman Wave+bits) Victorinox oil (food save) Victorinox Ceramic sharpening stick with a small piece of leahter glued on for stropping Small flashlight, Small Lighter, Small Pen/Pencil Bankline #36~ 10m Small acid brush for cleaning. Doggy Bags (For garbage or emergency water protection) Ouchie Boo-Boo bandaid + Ibuprofen kit. I have never in my life needed anything more on the go. in the timesi did, i sure as fuck would want the Propper tool. a real Pipe wrench, a real Crowbar, real Hammer. Have a real tool kit in your car. Don't worry about lugging all the what ifs around, keep only with you what you REALLY need on a regular basis.

Your bag is very well organized and you have tools I have not seen before. I am just starting a tool kit. The item I am looking for is a mini socket set. Then it will be the Knipex 2 plier set with pouch. I think it is a great tool kit. You may want a multi tool with can opener and scissors just a thought.

Just discovered your channel. Now I’m getting obsessed with tools.

This is a really unique and interesting kit you're putting together. It's not quite "survival" but you do have some instances of that shown. However, you do have some emergency sewing, grim lockpick cards, universal key, etc. It's also not "tech" or "urban" so you don't have battery bank, charger cable, precision screwdrivers etc. It's not "industrial maintenance/automotive", so you won't have things like a socket set or wire strippers. But you do have some heavy-hitter tools like the cobras and locking pliers. You also don't have a large knife, flashlight, or any of the normal EDC stuff because well, you already have that on your person. You've created a scenario that is both vague and specific at the same time, I think. So, it's quite difficult to suggest what to include or exclude. Maybe a deeper understanding of what this kit is actually for would help. What purpose does this kit serve? Should it be separate kits?

I always carry a universal key like the one you showed, never got in trouble for using it...then again i am an industrial automation engineer we get those for free with brands from different companies as promo items. its on my keychain usually.

Hey there! First things first: many - many thanks. Your approach (and implementation for that matter), is solid and inspiring. Suggestion: store some toothpicks alongside the q-tips. For one, you do not want to get things messy with regards to other tools, if a need arises for detailed glue application. Secondly, q-tips won’t help at all with glue, unless you apply big chunks. Toothpicks, will serve you a ton. Moreover, toothpicks can help you clean off dirt from tricky parts whenever you do not wish to damage a surface. That’s all off the top of my head. Again, great vid and keep updating it (and let us know too). Cheers. George from Greece.

To not quote a line from Jaws, we’re going to need a bigger bag! Nice kit! A headlamp, an extension mirror, a butane torch, & a bottle opener. That’s my two cents worth. Keep your smiles on!

I like your channel - my EDC carry case is a welding rod holder because they are tough and waterproof - they don’t fit everything and you do have to dump it out but it is waterproof.

You should consider getting reusable silicon ear swabs. They are all relatively cheap, but a lot of them come with different shaped ends that are useful for applying glues and putties and such. That's a very nice kit. My only other suggestion would be to add some cordage.

Some epoxy putty, and a different lighter, the scripto hybrid lighter is refillable and will save your fingers since the flame is away from the ignition button, and I dunno... A handcuffs key maybe? Great tool kit BTW!

Great kit will be adding some of this to my kit, never figured out a great way to carry a sewing kit! I will add black and khaki buttons.

Good stuff, one mod. Ditch the bondic glue (messy and not accurate and replace it with some type of 5 minute putty epoxy. JB weld for black and other brands for white)

I feel like you could remove the larger tools, get a nylon tool bag, put this organizer inside that tool bag and then just let the large wrenches and pliers sit in the main compartment just unsecured, they really dont need to be so secure in that pouch, then you can pack 3 or 4 more lighters in other pockets of the overall tool bag.

I always put an O ring or zip tie (shock cord too) under the button when I carry a bic lighter. I've seen too many guys pull one out with no butane to chance it.

I would add a flat earth magnet 🧲 to hold lose items in place (screws/nails) and a set of disposable gloves.

15:10 I've found so many uses for forceps it blows my mind. I have a pair in my gunsmithing tools (I use them mostly to hold roll pins in ways my starter punches can't), my IT tool bag for work, you name it. I agree, super super handy.

Check out the dark shift lockpick set from sparrows. The tools are all flat, but the full size picks really make a difference compared to card picks like you have. The monkeys paw pick is also great to add if you do single pin picking. And there are 2 or 3 expansions to the dark shift set now that have a few extra tools like wafer jigglers (get me into my file cabinet when I inevitably lose the key) and a couple bypass tools.

6" wide jaw adjustable wrench and remove one of the knipex. silver grease pencil instead of the scribe. 6' tape measure instead of 6"rule.

This is a perfect example of "I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it"

Hex fit drill bits they fit in your screw driver and you’d be surprised how often you need to make a hole a little bigger or just put a small pilot hole into wood

Hi Dominic, nice kit it could use more tools I think, lol Jokes aside, the biggest issue in a kit for me has been Tool Visibility! If the tool is out of sight, it's out of mind. To remedy this, I switched over to Cocoon 10" x 15" grid-it organizers. Each grid is for a specific purpose (modular works for me ). Tools could be grouped on a grid: 1. Either by size 2. or by project type 3. or frequency of use 4. or someother method that you find best I mix & match each of these modules or grids by linking them with the provided loop using one of those aircraft cable keyrings. Lastly, I use clear plastic containers to store these grids/modules. no jokes, I buy them by the dozen! 🤣

As cool as it is take out the bit bar you don't need it with the fix it Stix, get rid of the bulky plastic fix it Stix case and put them where the bit bar was. Get some clear drinking straws, melt one end shut and fill them with screw bits. cut to length then fold over and rubber band the other end. Put your q-tips in a zip lock bag, keeps out moisture and more sanitary if you have to use it on your bod Be sure to take some sand paper and clean up the rough edged on your lock picks, the will work better. Good idea with the bolt & nut

Cool kit. Maybe some 4mm bits + 4mm extender to use with your 4mm bit adapter. Adds very little space and weight and are great for recessed screws.

Trauma shears instead of the friskers. Much stronger and cuts more. Leatherman makes a great folding pair. Pen magnet I have one that lifts 10 Lbs. I modified by taking off the back and pen clip. I filled the hole with that steel epoxy and put in a screw eye. That way I can extend the reach at least down by attaching cordage. Ti EDC Wrench . Yes I know extensive but acuminates many sizes of nuts. Check it out. For the teflon tape. Take it off the roll and wrap it around something like the file case.

Dos ideas a mi parecer que te servirían: - Pichi X2 Pry bar: barra de palanca que combina ademas una excelente llave inglesa y una hoja de bisturí desmontable. Toda de titanio, por supuesto - Encendedor catalitico. Este tipo de encendedores tienen la posibilidad de regular la llama desde una muy suave hasta otra que es mas parecida a un soplete, con la ventaja de que son recargables con butano y que no se recalientan tan rapido como los encendedores BIC comunes Con esto creo que estarías reduciendo algo de peso y espacio en el pouch. Espero que te sirva

SIlver Fox Tools if a good place to check out. Love the custom pry bar man, super cool.

I would put in several saw blades wood and metal and a handle ,add a loose magnet also,small c clamp, and add a locking crescent wrench with the large jaws. add pipe thread, yellow and white. also a few shrink tubes I carry a 10 foot cloth measuring tape . add some 100 pound bank line , 50 feet add a good small flashlight , charging plug with usb and micro,

Add an impact metric nut setter kit. Can use it with your other tools and it's acts as a compact socket set.

Mirror. Preferably one that can be used at a distance. Funtak, aka poster adhesive. Handy for sticking somethings in place temporarily. Seam ripper. Surprisingly useful when you want to separate stiched goods without causing damage. Also can be used as a cocktail fork. :D Cross-locking tweezers.

you can cut down on your weight and bulk by replacing your scribe with a simple mini sharpie. it marks metal just fine. and everyrthing else for that matter.

Everything in this set is not isolated. Therefore, at least electrically insulating gloves should be. Be sure to have a long PH2 bit, but others will not interfere. The bit extension will not get everywhere - it may simply not go through, but a long bit will get it. Small screwdrivers - without them it is sometimes impossible to change the battery, tighten the glasses, and do such precise work. that black organizer set, where the bits are, should be removed by simply putting the bits and the ratchet handle in a ziplock bag, this will save weight and dimensions. while eliminating duplication - it only adds dimensions and weight. It is worth putting one or two sticks of a chemical light source - although they are disposable, they can be stored longer than batteries.

Perhaps with those loose spreader sticks & q-tips I like using small part’s zip-lock bags it’ll keep things not only tighty but keep them clean you just never know 😎

absolutely fabulous kit, I personally carry always a piece of sandpaper in mine, has multiple purposes, from sharpening blades to grinding metal parts or wood :)

A Victorinox cybertool 29 will do more than you might imagine. I won't leave the house without mine in my pocket or vehicle. You can take a MacBook down to pieces or tighten a door hinge, knob, drawer etc with real tips and relevant sizes not to mention all the other tools like the best folding scissors for their size. Happy hunting!

How about a segment on micro drivers? Wiha, Picquic teeny turner, Klein, and a few others. I think you may find the teeny turner handy as I do.

You can take either some duct tape or any kind of tape that you prefer and use it to wrap up the little wood sticks. That way you have a little bit more tape and it holds all of the wood pieces together in one place. Just a quick thought

That's a pretty comprehensive kit. You might be better served by the Wera Tool Check Plus, although the weight and size might be an issue and gives you socket capability. Alternatively Bahco do a small socket set as well. I would also suggest getting some precision drivers in there, given you wear glasses, at the very least having some to repair them in the event of a screw popping out might help, admittedly I haven't come across a decent compact set with the 4mm hex, have some cheap Banggood Daniyu ones with a bespoke fitting which have been very handy. Maybe look at the Heroclip instead of the carabiner you have, the you might find the added functionality beneficial. Whilst I like certain aspects (the magnetic pick up tool, definitely adding one of those to mine) there are things in there that I don't think would work for me. I bought those fiskar scissors after you tested them, those things are surprisingly capable for the size and price.

a small t shank saw. if u wanna go mega premium outdoorwerk sawtool, if fixed is ok renegade outdoors microlight saw or similar to the file tool donau elektroniks m208 profiline saw

I always carry that utility key for emergency access to water spigots that have a security valves

I just started the video, but my first suggestion is to get rid of this giveaway carabiner and get a climbing proof carabiner, this would help in situations you need to rely on a carabener. And if you use one with e. g. screw to secure, you will also not loose your stuff.

I'm a bicycle type so the lack of pressure guage and tools kinda hurts. Countless times I'll be at a gas station and their guages will be bust then I loan mine to people in line for the compressor. I live where 15 psi makes the difference in winter between traction or slip so I consider it a necessary everyday item. Mine comes with a ruler markings too.

I would suggest adding some pre cut lenghts of self amalgamating tape. Doesn't have a ton of uses, but when you need it, it's awesome and doesn't take up a lot of space.

Space saving: personally I'd get a smaller sewing kit, the repair items in the tin could be put in a soft shelled pouch, no big idea but bar, you're set with the fix it sticks, speaking of which, I would store them separately and not on the bit holder, maybe use your small wiha bits that you got for your Ozark multitool, that's what I would do for space saving, you'd prolly get the pouch closed easier, as far as missing items? It's pretty comprehensive, the only things I'd add are favorites I always use like some small zip ties, twisty ties, thin ranger bands and some tarred bank line. Possibly heat shrink tubing too, I know you got your seals, but I just use heat shrink for all kinds of stuff.

Pretty solid👍 Might check out a Rohnson Jetlite lighter to replace the bick as it's also small and compact but it's butane refillable and has a precise flame and use design to use like a mini torch for your heating tasks. It's nice when you need to hold heat on something in wind for some time. Oh and I'd be interested to see a review of your preffered edc sized glues and lubricants with brand specivity in terms of what's worked for you in your experience on surfaces and temps.

Couple zip ties, super glue and JB weld (the fast setting one) in a bag with a little piece of cardboard to mix the JB weld on (using your wooden sticks)

A very inspiring video. I have a lot of suggestions but don't take them as criticism because I really like your set. Add Leatherman Surge, remove the wire cutter and all pliers except the Knipex Cobra. Take out a small crowbar (many things can easily replace it). Leave only one rounded file from the set of files (you will have the one in Leatherman). Take out all the bits and add those from Leatherman. Add a ratchet screwdriver from Leatherman. Add extra long and possibly narrow bit versions: PH1, PH2 and slotted 1/8 (for deep seat screws). Throw out your sewing kit and instead get some high-quality leather or denim threads and roll up the colors you actually need. Add a small spool of one very strong thread. Add 5m of 1mm copper wire. Add more tape. Add instant glue. Add cosmetic tweezers with a wide tip. Add t-shank blades for metal and wood. Add alcohol swabs. Add 5ml plastic (HDPE) vials of acetone and gasoline. Add/replace your lighter with a high quality incandescent lighter. Add a pen. Add a notebook or some rite in rain sheets. Add a pencil. Add a high-quality USB cable with adapters for USB-C, USB micro and lightning. Add a USB-A/USB-C flash drive. Add a non-contact voltage tester. Add a vial of magnesia. Add a vial of baby powder. Add more tape and pieces of high-quality double-sided tape. Add two-component adhesive. Add a piece of thicker fabric and a small package of transparent shoe glue (if you soak the fabric and the hole in the clothes / bag with it in moderation, you will get a very strong patch). Add an old credit card. Did I mention the tape? Add real lockpicks and throw out the ones you have. Add 5m of nylon cord.

For sockets, you should look into the small socket sets Makita makes, they are 1/4 drive, they have both metric and SAE sizes, they come in a compact holder, I have 2 of each set to work against each other if need be, they are great sockets. Makita E-01694 and Makita E-01703.

i'm one of those people who keep nitrile gloves on me great for clearing poisonous brush or using less skin safe chemicals can also be used to store things in as they are waterproof

The Knives bolt cutters! I have been looking for a small set for bug out/urban survival for cutting barbed wire. I assume this would be strong enough. 😊

Ditch all the 1/4 driver section of the kit and replace it with the icon kit. Remove the case and use standard bit sleeves to store the bits. This will reduce the size and still offered the capabilities of what you have in a much smaller package.

That's a great kit. Covers most bases and situations. Have you made any changes to it since this video?

Great kit, I would honestly just choose one pair of pliers to drastically reduce weight. The cheat key is a nice one, although a bit bulky and heavy, I would keep it in the car. Also I wonder if you really use so many bits. And I pesronally wouldn't want the police to check my bag in any scenario, carrying both a small crowbar and lockpicking tools :p A knife and a saw would definitely be in there for me, even if it's just a Victorinox camper ( but I suppose you would have something like that in your pocket?). Anyway, with these changes I bet it would be light enough to be a belt pouch. Any thoughts?

get a 10' tape measure, you can get a tiny one. Also some legit scissors like C. K Tools 492001 Electrician's Scissors, 10-Inch OAL Stainless Steel

Really enjoyed the video. I just received this tool roll today, as I liked the look of it in the video, so I ordered it via the link. The roll I received does not have the long pocket along the length of the roll inside the mesh zipper pocket. Pretty disappointed by that. I was hoping to replace my Maxpedition Chubby organizer and the lack of this pocket disqualifies the tool roll for this purpose.

what is the job the cobra does that the pliers wrench does not? IMO its just only adding edge case ease of use rather than adding functionality. it would be much more usefully replaced with those backwards opening plier things that spread stuff apart. also redesign the big pry bar to grab the rear arm of the pliers wrench so that it can extend the lever and thus strenght. pliers wrench is self tightening so you dont need to grab both arms also. you cannot cut wood or metal with anything in this kid. its a big enough kit to fit sawzaal blades that latch into the big pry bar with an additional redesign.

continuity tester?

I suggest a nylon black stick. Great for a lot of things and especially on stuff you don’t want to mar or scratch.

Tape measure, maybe wrapping the Teflon tape around the scribe handle or file handle so you can keep it small. I added recently a hot glue stick, and one of those gator grip sockets. Cheesy I know, but I want to see if it’ll work with different sized nuts or just something threaded beyond finger tight like say a wing nut. That second bit set with the t driver, where can I find that

That thread kit is pretty big, if it is an emergency, will you really care what colour of thread you are using? a space saver could be to just have one dark colour and one light colour. Just a thought. Sweet video, I really enjoyed it.

You can add a gator grip socket. Multiple sizes from 1 socket and wrench...

I think it would be cool to compare what you have in your kit to the full-size versions of each thing. Will the size and weight justify the utility? Perhaps lager versions excel in more than the compact varieties? probably not but I think it would be cool to see

The scribe is superfluous in that kit. The diamond files can also double as scribes. Maybe replace the scribe with a sharpie?

I’ll would add some latex gloves and some alcohol based cleanex whipes.

hoto persision screwdrivers pretty good

Ah, I did not realise that the zipper pouch on the Lochby tool kit goes all the way to the other side - I thought it was just the mesh section.

You forgot the kitchen sink... :))) Good job, nice ideas! Do you think you could add a 2nd kit with additional items to complement the 1st & carry them both as a larger chunk with 2 carabiners?

Some good quality pipe cleaners (such that you can find in a smoke shop) would be a good addition, or an alternative to the Q tips. They can hold up to more heavy duty use than Q tips

Black electrical tape uses black adhesive. Colored tapes use clear adhesive.. Ballistol wipes

Walmart sells those sewing kits in their fabric section.

To improve... I feel like I wouldn't double up on screwdrivers. Maybe I'd swap the locking pliers for a Leatherman crunch. Though it's not adding utility so much as compactness. Maybe throw in a jigsaw blade or two with the crunch. I'd probably drop the wire cutters unless you have a strong reason to need them with your job or life generally. They're cool, but they're big and multi tool wire cutters can cut through a chain link fence fine. And most wire I've dealt with regularly. Engineer makes a monkey wrench with thin jaws. It's not as convenient as the pliers wrench, but it's smaller with probably better leverage. Those solder and seal connectors take up a lot of space, but if you use them regularly, go for it. There's a company called pockit that makes a really small Bluetooth multimeter that works great. If you do a lot of auto electronics. I think it's only good up to 30 volts or so though. They have a pro model that goes up to a thousand volts, but it's a lot larger. It's still pretty compact relative to its capability though. Easily half the size of my normal multimeter. There are a number of really compact measuring tapes. And better lockpicks for not much extra size. I'd carry a SIM tool. Though the paperclips are probably fine. A small headlamp like the Nitecore nu25 with shock cord mod would add a lot of utility. As would a small screwdriver set like the HOTO screwdriver set. I guess it kind of depends on what you do in your day to day. I work in tech so I tend to need small tools. I EDC a Leatherman style PS and it's all I need for pliers most of the time. Small multimeter, a USB c breakout board, small and normal screwdrivers. That does it for me usually. Letterman wave if I have space or am not flying.

I'd like to see you use the solder seal on a video. (Got the County Comm pry bar, Knipex Cobolt Cutters, Knipex 5" Plier Wrench, the Knipex Cobra/micro, the Universal Key, and a magnetic extension device, as well).

good to have a "weird solutions" kit like this...

You might replace the carbiner with a Hero Clip. The same thing with a little more flexibility.

I know you already have a hammer but I keep a handle less Nupla hammer in my car kit. A bit hard to find but they are still out there. I like it because it not only has a steel face but also a softer face on the other end. Actually used it a few times when I don’t have room to swing a normal hammer. For your kit you may not like how much space it takes. But maybe pick the lightest weight. If you can’t find one maybe get a regular hammer and remove the handle?

For the two knipex plier wrenches, what is the difference between the two? When and for what purposes would you use either over the other and which is more versatile? If you could only carry one, which would it be?

In terms of improving your kit. Think you've missed the point - each EDC kit specific to an individual and their need , so some who wants one for camping as opposed home repairs as opposed to say bike touring would have different needs and such different tools
