Awesome video! First time finding your page. You earned a follow for sure!

Knipex insert = GOLD :D SUB

Have you looked at the CRKT pocket driver stash tool? It holds 4 bits, aluminum and 1.4 ounces.

Nice job dude

Is it better to charge with 12volt solar panel or 24 volt?

I recently purchased from another company other than ecoflow the delta max 1600 and ecoflow had told me i purchased the delta max 1600 version 1 i have not recieved it yet but i mainly neeed it to run 2 refrigerators do you know if i can run 2 refigerators with what i purchased?Thankyou!

You also have to look at when the delta 2 came out... over a year ago... They (Ecoflow) are getting ready to release the Delta 3 lineup... My Main gripe with the DJI is the accessory list that you have to go through... seams like every drone battery has a special fast charge cable you need to buy if you want that feature... Also, what is the problem with having 120v outlets on the back? I have never wished my TV had its outlet on the front... that being said, I didn't mind when my Delta 2 had them on the back as well... less clutter. I think for a first swing at a PPS they did really good... but in this market you need to cover all the bases to be great. there is a lot of competition in the space... and to leave things out, make you by accessories to do things like solar charge it... and not having an app... those things might hurt them.

Imagine living in a place where you can keep clif bars in your car and not ah e them melt after like 2 seconds

Good choice on the light, I was going to message you about it a month ago, glad you found it. How did you find it?

I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting one. I see a lot of complaints on Amazon. I ordered one waiting for it to get here.

The time and thoroughness of this review is simply great for someone looking for kits to carry for every day common tools for techs. You've put the time in and put these things through their paces so we don't have to order and return tools that aren't perfect. I hate when bits slide out and stay on the head of the screw or bolt I'm turning. Thank you!

Thank you for the setup... Made me instantly jealous and begin planning on how to explain the credit card bill for next month! 😂

Klein tools mini ratchet, and 7-1 nut driver + and outside clip makita 22 piece accessory set, doesn't get more compact than that.

PLEASE sell the 3D printed mini drivers! I love it so much and absolutely loved the video!

Finally an actual every day carry that is small, light, and capable enough to be carried every day.

Excellent video and tool set up! Thank you for all the work you put into making this Todd.

I'm currently renting an apartment on 2nd floor with access to the roof that gets direct sunlight for most of the afternoon. I was thinking of placing those solar panels over the roof, wire it with a USB C cable through the window and place Anker 737 on my desk where I can use it to power my laptop, light, phone, (items that can be powered through usb) when I come home from work. For anyone who's done this, is this a feasible project/worth the hassle to cut down on my electrical bill?

Love the idea of going smaller to only the essential stuff. How would you approach this if you would want to include working on your laptop? And possibly from traveling in a van for up to two months.

Woah that’s awesome you get to keep your rear seats.

I got everything as they were described this video (cable, 40W panel and 737 power bank) but I am only getting around 7W under the direct sun. I wonder where I did wrong. :(

Thank you for the pdf, it really helped me because I am going on a cruise and this made it very simple.

I've gone on a similar journey that you just documented- I was trying to avoid buying the Wera Toolcheck Plus and replace it with cheaper items. I bought many of the same tools you tried out in your video. I still ended up buying the Toolcheck Plus and couldn't be happier with it. It's that all-in-one kit design that really makes it special. You can drop it in a cargo pocket and you'll have most tools you need to fix most things. I agree the Wiha kit with Hazet driver and Makita sockets is better money wise, but I think it only really beats Wera with price. It's inconvenient to carry all three pieces and although I own and use the Hazet driver myself, I don't think it beats the convenience of the Toolcheck kit. Yes if you have a big project where you will be using a tool extensively, then get full sized tools that are meant for the job. But if you need tools from a small kit to do quick repairs, Toolcheck plus is really a premium set of tools in a convenient package.

Already bought the Delta 2 Max (QVC deal $1249 WITH 220W Bifacial panel) Also QVC had special extra Delta 2 Max battery for $800. So $2050, no interest, 5 payments, for Delta 2 Max, EXTRA Max 2 battery + 200w bifacial solar panel. Sorry the delays are over. I’m Uber happy for what i received not only at this price, but all the features. Thanks to the solar gods!

Love the tool check but the Icon bit ratchet is a better unit functionally. You’re in a similar position to where I’ve been. I look forward to Icon coming out with the addition of sockets to their mini kit. Too bad it’ll lack the screwdriver handle. The offset though makes it decent as a mini spinner.

Interesting enough video except I didn't really understand the bit where you said you don't support buying cheap knock offs instead of American made knives, except to get a feel for them before buying the real thing. You had already said just before that, that you couldn't justify the price of a real bug out and yet you included the knock off in your kit which suggests you are happy to keep using the knock off going forward. When calculating the kit price you even emphasised the fact that the bug out costs too much to even bother adding up the cost of your kit with the real knife included.

Good tools are well worth it. I've got some machinist tools that I got from my grandfather the oldest ones being close to 100 years old now. They'll likely go to my granddaughter since she's shown aptitude with the mill and lathe, and with a little care and luck, they'll be good for another hundred years after that.

I just love your videos. I learn so much. Thank you!! I also wanted to tell you that the same guy who designed the Lander made the Civivi Sendy. I have it in drop point (68g) but it also comes in a spey blade (74g). It's super satisfying with a back flipper, liner lock, Nitro V steel and deep carry clip. It also comes with tweezers and a toothpick! It pairs great with a 58mm Victorinox with the retractable pen, nail file, scissors and cap lifter/Phillips (the Manager) or even the 91mm Companion.

Thank you

I use a Chapman set and the 1/4 drive socket set I have had for 20 years. I bought that little Wiha bit driver set because it looks and feels higher quality, but in practice it drove me crazy because it was hard to use without accidentally flipping the direction switch and driving the fittings back in the wrong direction.... So I'm back to using the Chapman.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the wera kit being combined into one kit and the easy access to all tools is definitely worth the $6 you save on your alternative kit. Great video!

Can the device charge via USB-C INPUT? (the delta 2 could not, though Anker's unit could).

I install machinery and have gone through two of the Icon sets in 6 months, each time the ratchet broke. I've had the WERA for 18 months and it's holding up well.

Great review but keep improving!!!

how about the Knipex high end leverage piano wire cutter or a cable shears

Definitely flexibility of individual tools! Greetings :)

Super - if somebody uses it permanently. To me your first kit (with Cobra Knippex) is still the best because more versatile. I use it with simple Leatherman extender (with no ratchet). The combination Knippexes and Leatherman extender can work as ratchet replacement in some situations. Thank You for inspirations in DIY. Best greetings :)

Best EF genny review on KZfaq - quick question does the EF generator have an inverter function like the Honda where it runs at a low speed and only increase when loaded using the 120 AC plug? Thanks Mike

Boy do I feel under prepared all im carrying is a swiss army spartan. 😆

I resisted the Toolcheck Plus for about a year, and finally caved in when I won a gift card that offset the price for me. I wish I had not waited because it is so well thought out and useful that I would gladly pay full price for it if I had to replace it (I probably wouldn't pay $90, but $72 is totally worth it). It's hard to beat it for the quality, compact storage, and the overall portability.

Beautiful job, sir!

Who else is here for their portable projectors?

Already had the cobra xs and actually use them a lot. But had been frustrated by not finding a pocketable screwdriver. Now I’ve just ordered the 711L mini ratchet! Thanks that’s brilliant! 😎👍😍

plenty of useful info here, however the way you havestuff packed behind your when driving is a serious safety hazard

Hi Todd, great video, thanks! I might try this. One question: with 2 symfonisk as stereo, is the hack needed just for one of them, or both?

Great piece good comparison Regards Mike

It’s a 5 series, it’s technically an interior product, like a mid range. It’s like comparing a iPad to an brand new iPhone, just because it’s bigger does not mean it’s the better

Djeez this is so super amazing ❤

Folks looking for an alternative to the CRKT CEO might consider the Böker Kaizen or Civivi Clavi.

Great info thank you!

Great idea
