Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers are very popular and have a good reputation: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KMSUA4/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_n1HgDbFWNEYCD

Note that the CountyComm versions appears to be either the same or similar. Titanium offered as well: https://countycomm.com/products/tweezers-tick-splinter-removal

Clockwise from top left:

  • Replica WWI trench lighter
  • Nail clippers I probably found in my couch
  • Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers
  • SAK Classic SD I found in the trash outside a courthouse.

  • Vintage 1930s Maxim's Brass Tin (to hold usb2go cable and 8gb Micro SD card with USB adapter)

  • Leatherman Wingman

  • Brass Wallet I made

  • Keys on Brass Clip with Steel shackles (original pins replaced with brass) and 2 Kingston Travelers in 16gb and 64gb

  • Vintage late 1950s New Haven Pedometer I bought at a 90yo ladys basement sale

  • Fisher bullet in brass with pocket clip from a mechanical pencil

    Not pictured because I think my dog stole it last night while I slept:

  • Bluetooth earpiece for listening to audiobooks while I work, worth every bit of the price and not a cent more.

    Edit: Update! My dog indeed stole and chewed my Bluetooth to bits. Guess I'm back to skullcandies for a while.

The core material EDC, to me would be knife, light and cellphone. But cool keychain gidgets are really nice too.

So I'd say if you have a knife, a good flashlight would be next, then a backup knife and light (one is none, two is one). I like a multi-tool or SAK for my backup knife, and a keychain light for my backup torch.

(In case you're curious, after that I start considering footwear, gloves, hats and other clothing.)

(Sorry, I'm feeling a bit lazy, so you'll have to live with bare links.)

This one is pretty popular for keychain use: www.amazon.com/iTP-A3-EOS-Flashlight--Upgrade/dp/B006K5C2EG/

Fenix has single AA and 123 powered lights that are well regarded and compact:
AA: http://www.amazon.com/Fenix-E11-Compact-Lumen-Flashlight/dp/B005GW8UC2
CR123: www.amazon.com/Fenix-Compact-140-Lumen-Flashlight/dp/B005CWRB44

There are a lot of other brands worthy of consideration too, of course (Fourseven's mini, Jetbeam, Klarus, Zebra, just to name a few).

There are also a lot of much larger but more capable flashlights out there.

Keychain stuff is always nice:
I use these sliver grippers way more than I thought I would. The convenience of always having them around is unparalleled: http://www.amazon.com/UNCLE-BILLS-SLIVER-GRIPPER-TWEEZER/dp/B001KMSUA4
I've been thinking of getting this, I'm a little leery about that much stuff for so little cost though: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A5E5IK
I love this style of keyring, but it's way cheaper on eBay: http://www.amazon.com/Vigilant-Gear-Aircraft-Cable-Ring/dp/B006ZSP1PA
Little one-piece keychain tools have become really popular, and I really like having a little prying and screwing tool always present.
The Gerber Shard is cheap but probably at least worth what you pay for it: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-22-01769-Shard-Keychain-Tool/dp/B002ZK45IQ
This one has a bit more functionality, and is made of the magically delicious titanium: http://www.amazon.com/Schrade-Chain-Tool-Seatbelt-Cutter/dp/B004PQJ1QO

Keychain multi-tools can be good.
Here's one from Gerber: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006M9NIDO
Supposedly the build quality isn't as good as Leatherman's though: http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-64010101K-Micra-Multi-tool/dp/B000JCN0FG

I'd also recommend looking for a glow in the dark lanyard.

A pen you can EDC is another "you're surprised how often you use it" item. I have an Inka and it's definitely alright, though a bit fiddly: http://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-Inc-Inka-Pen/dp/B001E6R6EM/
The biggest competitor is the classic Fisher Bullet Space Pen: http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Space-Pen-Bullet-400B/dp/B000WGD13U

Something to write on is nice. I'm a real child of the digital age, but I still like having an analog recording medium on me. I prefer Pentalic's pocket size books to Moleskine's. They're a little thicker, but they have a flexible cover, and are usually cheaper. Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Pentalic-Travelers-Sketch-3-Inch-4-Inch/dp/B0025TZ35Q but I don't know if it's ruled or grid or what. I also prefer a bright color cover to make it easy to spot.

Continuing on the writing stuff matter, a sharpie and/or a metallic (ink) sharpie are nice to have. You can get sharpies with stainless steel cases too, which feel nicer to hold, and you're a little less likely to forget somewhere.
Black (dozen): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IFEP
Stainless Steel: http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Stainless-Permanent-Marker-1747388/dp/B001V9LQLG
Metallic: http://www.amazon.com/Sanford-39108PP-Metallic-Sharpie-Permanent/dp/B00119QWCO

I think everybody should carry some sort of bandanna. I carry an off-brand buff (tubular bandanna) and an olive drab shemagh.

I like to carry a small baggie of what I call MacGuyver goods. Paracord (bound up in a hanayawa right now), some gorilla tape and electrical tape wrapped around a card, super glue, a sewing kit, zip ties, twist ties, rubber bands, safety pins, binder clips, and a few 1 quart ziplock freezer bags. (Like hell I'm finding links for all of those.)

Yet another "surprising how useful it turns out to be" item is a small mirror: http://www.amazon.com/Coghlans-Featherweight-Mirror/dp/B0047QV44O/

Whistles are useful for warning people of fire or danger, or calling for help, so I like to carry one: http://www.amazon.com/Fox-40-Whistle-Breakaway-Lanyard/dp/B00544UJC6

A monocular is fun to have on your person. This particular model is really great because of its super low minimum focusing distance, which lets you use it as a sort of loupe. In regular mode it's good for looking for house numbers or your car in a parking lot, that sort of thing: http://www.amazon.com/Brunton-Echo-7x18-Pocket-Scope/dp/B000FKMTBS

I think that's all I could come up with off the top of my head.

u/[deleted] · 5 pointsr/EDC

Hello EDCers, found this subreddit via /r/knives, so I figured I would join, say hi, and post my EDC stuff.

Any questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome.

What I carry depends on what I'm wearing, but the core is always this:

  • Maxpedition Micro Wallet with a Zebra Telescopic Pen inside.
  • Lip balm. Shit be gettin' chapped yo.
  • Phone (Samsung Vibrant).
  • Keys (Tec Accessories P-7 Suspension Clip on a 25mm split ring, apartment and mailbox keys, 4Sevens Preon ReVO SS flashlight on a 35mm McGizmo clip, Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper tweezers)
  • Folded paper towel. Sometimes you just gotta wipe stuff. Handy when you have food but no napkins.

    The rest of my EDC is pretty modular, and again, also depends on what I wear.

    99% of the time I also have the following (i.e. when I go somewhere that doesn't have a zero-knife policy) on me:

  • Leatherman Juice S2 multitool. I have, and have carried various multitools in the past, but the Juice S2 to me, has the best balance between functionality and weight.
  • Folding knife. Either a Benchmade 943 on a modified USA Knife Makers low rider Ti Stealth clip, or a Spyderco Delica 4 Wave, depending on whether or not I'm going somewhere with a blade length restriction. And yes, I'm left-handed, which is why the pocket clip is on that side.

  • If it's sunny, I'll carry a pair of 5.11 sunglasses as well.

    Other things I carry if I'm wearing cargo pants or a jacket:

  • Small first aid kit in a 5"x4" aLOKSAK. Nothing crazy, just various sized bandages, a pair of nitrile gloves, gauze
  • Etymotic ER20 Musician's Earplugs. From having worked in the mobile entertainment industry for years, I've learned to value my hearing. So the earplugs are good for those just in case times where I find myself in a loud place.
  • 10 feet of black 7-strand paracord, knotted every 12 inches. Good as both a quick ruler, and you know... for the things you might need paracord for.
  • The earbuds that came with my phone.
  • A pen and mechanical pencil, more specificially: a Zebra F-701 modded to take a Fisher Space Pen SPR4 refill, and a Uniball Kuru Toga Roulette.

Ok here goes. Pocket breakdown.

Front right pocket: Phone

Clipped to edge of front right pocket: Knife

Clipped to edge of back right pocket: Pen

Back left pocket: Wallet

Clipped to edge front left pocket: Flashlight

Also clipped to front left pocket: Keychain

Now for my flashlight philosophy. Phone lights are just kind of fine but they really stink as flashlights because they aren't very bright and can't throw more than about 15 feet. My $10 Olight i3E keychain light can throw like 100 feet, which is not all that far. My sidewalk from the road to my house is longer than 15 feet and I like to be able to see a good ways in front of me when walking at night. My main flashlight (Emisar D4) has adjustable brightness so I can put it really low in a movie theater or something when I need see to go pee but not disturb anyone, and I can also put it on full brightness to turn on the sun in any given direction if I need to see far or see a lot of stuff. Mostly it's just plain easier to grab a flashlight clipped to your picket and press a button than it is to pull out your phone, unlock it, swipe the quick settings onto screen, and then click the flashlight button.

Knife philosophy: I carry a dedicated knife because it's easier, faster, and more comfortable to use than any multitool. It always stays clipped in the right hand, tip up position so I just pull it out, deploy the blade, and start using it (and that all takes like half a second or less). If I tried doing the same with my Leatherman Squirt I'd have to pull out my keychain, find the Squirt, open the blade with the nail nic and then reposition my hand to start using it. That requires about 3 seconds (6x as long) and BOTH HANDS. Often when I need to cut something I'm supporting the thing with one hand already so I only have one hand free to get my knife.

Tweezers: take a look at these. You might be able to add them to your keychain: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001KMSUA4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1523632099&sr=8-1&keywords=keychain+tweezers&dpPl=1&dpID=41qJZ3wCLJL&ref=plSrch

I hope this helps!

u/NearlyLegit · 4 pointsr/EDC

At the moment I'm running:

TEC Centipede - Titanium ruler that's about 8.5cm in length. I measure things irregularly, but not enough to warrant a full tape measure which will take up more pocket space. Feels super well made.

Leatherman Micra - Just got it, and I'm torn on how much I like it. Whilst beefy, the scissors sometimes flex whilst cutting thicker items (so it goes between the blades laterally). I've never had this problem with my Classic SD, and may end up moving up to a 74mm Victorinox like the Executive for the sake of the bigger scissors.

Boker Vox Access Tool - Titanium prybar with a carbide glass breaker on the end. I've come from the SD Titanium Prybar which was bloody useless for nail pulling due to the groove literally being a 'V' without any guiding for nails, and the edge of the bottle opener kept digging into my hand when I used it. Although for it's follies, the tip lip is very thin (yet sturdy) and can get between thinner crevices than the VAT; I also drove in a couple of nails with the SD, and in seeing if I could unscrew a half in one with the VAT, I chipped the guiding groove for the nail puller (not severely, but it was kind of disheartening as I literally just bought it and didn't think it was much of a stress test).

Kershaw Pub - Technically this isn't on my keys, as I put it in the 'snuff pocket' in my jeans, it's beefier than the VAT for box opening, and the blade is about the same size as a Stanley blade. It's a bit of a different design and great for fidgeting. Not so great for fidgeting when people see you, but fun all the same.

I've currently retired:

The SD Ti Prybar - See above, a great little prybar, hampered by a frankly stupid decision to put a bottle opener on it. NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS A BOTTLE OPENER.

Victorinox Classic SD - A present which I absolutely love, however I'm in the pursuit for something 'beefier', although the scissors on this are second to none for all the little odd jobs I've had over the years.

Uncle Bills Sliver Grippers - Brilliant tweezers for splinters, however the first day I put them on my keys, and then sat on my keys, I hadn't put them in the holder right and they stabbed me in the arse. These tweezers have never been on my keys since.

Resqme Car Escape tool - Had it on the keychain, realised I'd only ever use it in the car, and now I keep it in the glovebox as I have the glass breaker on the VAT.

Leatherman Squirt PS4 - An absolutely fantastic multitool let down by a shit pair of scissors which have a lot of play between the blades. It results in a lot of rough cuts and ultimately spoils a perfect out of the box multi-tool. In the pursuit of better scissors and a lighter set of keys, I've currently retired this fantastic piece of kit.

Leatherman Brewzer - I absolutely loved this little prybar, but it broke in half when I tried to get a little shelf stud out of a bookcase, and it just shattered my confidence in the product to the point that I can't be bothered sending it in under warranty, as I know I'd never use it again.

Gerber Dime - I bought this at the same time as the Squirt PS4 because I couldn't decide between them. After taking them both out of the packing and comparing them side by side one after the other, it was instantly obvious that the Leatherman was just the better fit, so this was retired pretty much instantly and was gifted within an hour.

True Utility Keytool - First keytool I ever had and it was great for years! Practically invisible and as I only used it for the file, the mini screwdriver, and the thread cutter, it was fantastic. Never had an issue with the quality, and never had the need to take it off the key it was on, I only stopped carrying it because I don't use the type of key it works with anymore, and don't want to carry it round for the sake of it when I have so many other options. Great little buy though.

I'm probably going to buy:

Victorinox Manager - This is pretty much the best multitool for what I really need, and it has a pen. It's just 58mm and I really want a larger pair of scissors, however it has all the tools I've used recently, and it has a pen!

Another Prybar. As soon as I find a beefy titanium 80mm~ straight prybar which doesn't have a bottle opener on it, and instead has another useful purpose I'm going to get it. Hell, even if it doesn't have a secondary purpose I'll probably get it as well.

u/LustyRazor · 4 pointsr/EDC

Okay, I'll bite. These are all items I currently carry in my EDC organizer that are under $10.

Uncle Bill's tweezers (definitely not in the everyday use category, but superb for that "damn I need this" category. e.g. wife with metal filing splinter)

16 oz Nalgene (just started carrying mine and glad I did. e.g. I need to drink more water)

Mirror (sure you can use your phone, but I've found it handy a few times. e.g. at work place before meetings; to pick that food out your teeth after lunch)

Toothpicks (to pick said food from teeth before meeting)

WD-40 pen (cuz... WD-40. e.g. squeaks and stuff)

• Hand Sanitizer pen (because germs. e.g. after a BBQ Brisket Quesadilla for lunch)

Gorilla Glue super glue (again, used a few times, but in a "save the day" type of situation.)

• Plastic or Metal Collar Stays (I always seem to forget collar stays, so I pack them in my EDC organizer)

$10 (in cash) (I've forgotten my wallet once before—but had my EDC organizer in my laptop bag—still got to eat lunch that day)

Yes I realize 4 of my items specifically mention "lunch".

u/blindedbyscience · 3 pointsr/AskReddit

I've got that exact slanted & pointed Tweezerman combo, definitely worth the $$. My most recent drunk/tipsy purchase are these silver grippers for on the go.

u/fotbr · 3 pointsr/Machinists

Tiny chips out of your hands? These.

There are a bunch of small stirling engine designs out there that would make for good learning projects, and are kind of neat to have, if not particularly useful.

Edit: Fixed spelling.

u/emarkd · 1 pointr/flashlight

The prybar/multitool is a Maserin 905. There's also a set of Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper tweezers. The copper/tritium fob is a Berlin TiWorks Glowworm v2. Since this photo was made I've tried several keychain lights and currently have a Cooyoo Quantum added on.

u/mroystacatz · 1 pointr/EDC

Thanks for your input, I wrapped some electrical and duct tape around my sharpie, and I think I'm gonna get some of these. They look well built, Also do you have a pic of your Maxpedition Organizer setup?

u/massacre3000 · 1 pointr/EDC

You can get quite a few of those together for $25, but obviously different places. I would map out what you use the most:
Notepad, pen, lighter, pliers, scissors, screwdriver, flashlight are all great to have.

http://www.amazon.com/eGear-PICO-Zipper-Light-Blue/dp/B001SAM0IQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344376840&sr=8-1&keywords=pico+light are a better choice over the streamlight. You can often pick up Micras for $15 or less at Target or Menards on clearance/sale

I prefer the Meretac, but http://www.amazon.com/Fenix-Flashlights-E01FL-Compact-Flashlight/dp/B002YLTU3Q/ref=pd_sim_hi_12 is a good option

http://www.amazon.com/Vigilant-Gear-Aircraft-Cable-Ring/dp/B006ZSP1PA/ref=pd_sim_sg_66

http://www.amazon.com/UNCLE-BILLS-SLIVER-GRIPPER-TWEEZER/dp/B001KMSUA4/ref=pd_sim_sg_79

You can find a lot of Amazon items... I'll go through my purchase history and see what else...

u/dogswithpeoplehands · 1 pointr/EDC

Uncle Bill’s Key Chain Tweezers are an inexpensive, convenient, and solid option if you go this route. I’m sure there are even nicer options, but I’m not the kind of person who needs premium tweezers on a daily basis

u/JaggedOne · 1 pointr/EDC

I keep Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers and a Brush Pick in my wallet inside of a custom sheath made from card stock, tape and staples.

The Sliver Grippers are much more capable than SAK tweezers, and far lighter than a SAK Classic. The Brush Pick is plastic, like a SAK toothpick, but comes in bulk for relatively cheap, so you can toss them after they start to get a little gross and grab a new one. Also, the brush bit on the back fits right between my teeth and knocks food out of gaps in ways a SAK toothpick never could for me.
