EDCGEAR carabiner tools, mini prybars, keyring gadgets, etc.

I had to buy one to see what it was like, a lot of metal for ~£2, wondering why the hell the rubber “O” ring came with it until I read the listing again, “the rubber ring is for fastening 1/4 screwdriver”. obvious really. H)

Anyway, it holds a Torx bit, a bit wobbly and it needs a thumb on the end to apply pressure for any tightening or loosening actions, and the “O” ring will get lost, guaranteed. The bottle opener works. It will make a good P7 type suspension clip with the addition of a keyring, a heavy one!

Not bad shipping time, I got it 25th March, ordered on 16th March - 9 days is good enough for any of the Chinese sellers.

Is it really 7.3 cm long and weighs 26 grams?

I’m still waiting on a digital scale from FastTech but it feels quite weighty.
73mm it certainly is, a slab of Stainless folded. Still not sure exactly what I’m going to use it for, keys already have a 1” monkey fist on them, best keyring ever!!

Thanks for the info!

:)

Do you think it would work as a small prybar, for things like tins of paint?

The tip is bevelled to about a 1mm edge from the 2.5mm thick tool, depends on the size of tin. Small model making Humbrol size probably not easily but 0.5L and 1L or 2.5L tins then yes. If the lid was on ultra tight like first opening from the factory then there’s only at most 45mm leverage. Anyway I thought that flat head screwdrivers were for, opening paint tins.

I’d say give it a go, it’s some more “stuff” and that’s got to be good.

Thanks! I usually use a flat screwdriver for paint. I just needed some justification. >.< I sort of fancy the second hexagonal one as a keyring object…

2 Pages of stuff they are even selling fake Marten tails, they are kitten tails obviously.

Kickstarter Ti versions look really nice. Although it is kinda big.

I’d really like a pair of the PB-9, the ones with the twin pulleys.
A hundred foot of paracord and a 4:1 mechanical advantage. Don’t know what I’d use it for but I feel I need it. :exmark:
I do know I couldn’t afford them, the paracord isn’t a problem.

Yup, they should include more video example or explanation for pulley applications. Hope he has patent his creation.

Poor kitty cats... :_(

Noooo!!! :_(

An EDCGEAR bottle opener/pry tool exists (also see the pico bar underneath):

Tacticool EMT shears at DX! Available in black/orange too:

I’ve got the pocket widgy bar and the micro widgy bar, great for saving your knife tips from prying.

Something else I didn’t realise I needed until you posted. :bigsmile:
Not the orange and black ones, they might scare the little kittens away before I get my furry key ring.

The EDC gear Caribiner arrived today and it is built along the heavy is stronger line of thought. Just a couple of areas of concern, the weak spots are on the hook part of the carabiner and the spring gate. The hook would be better if it was more rounded instead of V shaped because they thought that another wrench size would be a good idea, the valley of the V looks like a stress crack waiting to happen. :open_mouth: The gate spring it also crudely made of by pressing the piece out of flat materiel and leaving it as square section and roughly finished. :frowning:
The carabiner has been given a good buffing on the two flat faces and a quick buffing round the edges with no attempt to clean anywhere afterwards. :frowning:
All of this I feel is totally acceptable on a carabiner costing about £4.60 delivered. It’s a big lump of stainless steel. :bigsmile:
I wouldn’t want to risk my life on it but I’m still tempted to get another and see what I can use the 4X mechanical advantage for with a length of 550 paracord. H)

Oooh the EMT shears look nice. Any word on the quality? I’ve been trying to build a couple good first aid kits.

Oh no! :~ Maybe with some TLC it will be a nice lump of steel? :smiley: Was the pocket hanger better finished, do you think? Thanks for sharing.

Definitely the pocket hanger was better finished.
The carabiner just needs introducing to some Solvol Autosol, a couple of cotton buds and a soft cloth. It’s just gote some of the polishing compound in some of the harder to get at places. :open_mouth:
As I said at this price it’s a nice slab of Stainless Steel with useful shapes. :slight_smile:

I’ll post here when mine arrive, they look like they are strong and the dimensions, 7.2 in x 3.7 in x 0.39 in and the weight 2.47 oz combined with the shape with the ridges pressed in should make for a strong pair of scissors - it all depends on how well the handles are attached I suppose.

Who says I’ll buy anything that is bright and shiny?
Couldn’t resist these shiny colourful things.

“Detachable 6mm diameter Multi Color Screw” Dimensions: 3.90 in x 0.43 in x 0.43 in (9.9 cm x 1.1 cm x 1.1 cm)
Hmm, detachable 6mm screw, 99mmx11mmx11mm I’m thinking lanyard beads and washers, maybe 18 for £2.50.
