EDC Gear for Flashlight Carriers

I went for the khaki pair.
You shouldn’t have long to wait Racer, 13 days to the U.K. is good time.
The shears say nothing about autoclaving, the plastic should be up to it. Arrived in a plastic bag (inside the packaging) with no markings. The only other marks are “stainless” and “China” stamped into one of the blades.
You can’t tempt me with any more of the goodies, maybe the Paracord thrower next month. The can opener is a copy of the P38 and P51 can openers issued to U.S. troops.

Oh hell I’ve just hit the buy button on that 550 paracord thrower! :wink:

42

My sister has two big boxes of those USA-made P38 and P51 can openers. Her house is like an EDC dream store, and I always take (and leave) a bag of swag whenever I visit, and never forget to grab a couple extra can openers and such.

43

You used to be able to get 5 for £1 at the Army Surplus stores but now they’ve gone way up in price £2 for a new BCB branded pressing or £3 with stupid postal charges for genuine ones, place on ebay is quite good you get a P38 and a P51 for £1.94 but the postage is £7.79. :open_mouth:
I’m glad I got a few when I was doing the bike rallies.

44

When the apocalypse comes, I’ll probably die of hunger trying to remember how to use those can openers lol.

45

There is always this method:

:smiley:

46

Haha nice.

I did a bad thing, searching for “edcgear” on Aliexpress. There are many interesting gadgets from this new brand (assuming they are new ;)).

Cannot believe the price on these (pico?) prybars (5 for $ :zipper_mouth_face:):

There is a funky compact carbon fibre key organiser:

And a shiny silvery take on the black Gerber shard:

If you’ve ever wanted a fauxton in olive drab to match other gear:

These scissors are also sold under “True Utility” brand. I don’t think I can see myself carrying a larger pair when my Victorinox scissors are fine (and much smaller) but maybe someone has a need for compact but not tiny pair of non-multitool scissors:

Lastly, this Otterbox style case could be good depending on the seal:

You DID did a bad thing, my card is having an easter break as in it’s easter and I’m broke. Those prybars are very tempting. Might be on my next shopping list but I’m trying to save for a pillar drill so I can start putting some custom scales together.

I’d be very wary of TRUE UTILITY gear, I’ve had a couple of their knives in the past when I knew no better and they were true crap.

Did you notice the Diamond grinding paste under the scissors? just the thing for preparing knives to do battle in the spring tomato massacre.

The Shard clone looks like an actual Shard. You can see in the photo that they just Photoshopped the Gerber name off it, and it’s more expensive than the real thing with Amazon Prime 2 day delivery.

Looks like they have a Leatherman Piranah clone, too for 10 bucks less than the real thing. EDCGear is definitely making some interesting stuff. Those Fauxtons look interesting as well.

50

You had to lead me astray didn’t you? I just couldn’t resist these EDCgear 3 Holes Version EDC Multi-tool Quicly Knotting Tool CNC Stainless Steel Tool



:slight_smile:

51

The cost of shipping overseas from the States is a deal breaker for me 99% of the time.
So free international shipping is a great advantage for me + I think the two versions of the Shard are the same (similar to other Gerber products).

52

Try eBay UK for a prybar some for about the same price as AliExpress http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Pry-Bar-Nail-puller-/111316469136?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item19eafa8590

The pico bar are no longer available from CountyComm resellers (creating a nice demand). So I hope the EDCGear is a decent steel for prying.

:bigsmile:

I didn’t see, maybe it’s randomised. The price for a set is good.

I already have some of this diamond paste from RGD Tools. It’s good for sharpening but is super messy. 0.5 micron is the one I found the most useful.

54

That’s a good sized prybar, I’d have to take a hacksaw to it, the 90° bend wouldn’t fit my “manbag”. :slight_smile:
I prefer the look of the D-9 steel on the CountyComm bars. :stuck_out_tongue:

55

My wife calls my EDC bag the “man-purse” :slight_smile:

56

I’d love that Shard clone. But the price… As Racer mentioned costs about the same as real thing :expressionless:

57

It probably is the real thing, minus Gerber branding and black coating. I remember seeing some Shard mods to look essentially the same. You can try paint stripper and then hand polishing?

Simon of Convoy has a nice selection of EDCGear stuff but minimum order is not 1 pc:

There is some TAD-inspired tools like this one:

Fish hook blade?!

Carbon-fibre wallet card seems quite innovative:

Now if only some of these tools were made of titanium instead. (Please make a pico pry bar in titanium!!)

58

Thanks for your information Chloe, I was looking some items you mentioned.
Thank you!

59

awesome tools! what is the function of the pry bar?

60

Which one? Some of them have cutaways to open cans and bolts, and slotted screws.

Mostly I would use the pico bar for opening paint cans and other odd things one might misuse a knife or flat-bladed screwdriver for.

I found a nice pic comparing three of them:
