EDC Gear for Flashlight Carriers

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.

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:

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).

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!!)

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:

I couldn’t resist these ^, or this v


so far I’ve got enough “pocket tools” to fill three pockets and a bag, thanks Chloe, I think. :slight_smile:

If you are still looking for a Pico Widgy Prybar in Titanium then here you are.

I’m still waiting for those EMT shears and hoping they’ll be a good addition to my first aid kit.

63

I’m using mine to make a diagonal cut on the end of 550 paracord so that I can melt it and shape it into a point to get it through tight spots when cord wrapping knife handles. If they’ll cut paracord at a steep angle I think they’ll be fine for your EMT needs, they have one blade serrated and one bevelled so once you start a cut it grips the material and doesn’t stip as much as plain edges would.

And for titanium fans here’s an ebay search.

I found the original carbon fibre key holder on Kickstarter, called ‘Switchy’:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/520589318/switchy-carbon-fiber-key-holder

I like this ‘lightning’ carbon fibre with copper thread. I can’t help imagine it will be like a floppy friction folder in practice…

Does anyone know what these two cutaways might be for?

Ahh, thank you!
