I saw these nail clippers at Banggood (2.21 USD). They remind me of some that DX used to sell.
They also had some cheap Gerber Shards (3.18 USD each, choice of black or silver).
Has anyone got a picture of a key on this? I was wondering if you could practically put more than one key on each clip.
From an Amazon listing -
Another one:
Price $3,27 on fasttech. I think yo should replace the golden key with a own key (if it fits).
DX have some things maybe of interest:
Oumily pry bar/bottle opener tool, also available in black:
EDCGear pry bar. (Redesign, or a new “ice cream spatula” kind?)
HX Outdoors pivoting magnetic keyring light:
Munkees keyring light, also available in silver (4xLR41):
Just when I’d convinced myself that I didn’t need another pry-bar. :bigsmile:
:bigsmile: I’m still trying to find “the one” (right now the shard seems most appealing).
I saw this Nextool Pegasus tool at Gearbest, reminds me of a Benchmade seatbelt cutter.
Pegasus? Looks like a seahorse to me.
I thought so too. It is apparently called “Glacial Pegasus”. 
Oh, there is a set of NexTool pry (please excuse the rude one, pic from AliExpress). I can’t help wonder if they are stretching the concept a little:
I was trying to figure out ” the rude one” and then it suddenly appeared :nerd_face:
Here’s an interesting addition:
It’s a clone of a high-end custom utility blade that I’ve seen floating round the past month or so. Of course I want one, and of course there’s no way I’m spending $150+ on a utility holder. It looks like our friends in China feel the same way.
$150+ for a utility blade holder? These people are insane.
But it’s a T.A.D. custom titanium blade holder!
Seriously, the Rexford R.U.T. is a really attractive piece of work and, honestly lightyears beyond the one I posted in terms of fit and finish, but that’s way too much money, even for braggin’ rights.
Sorry, have to disagree on the “braggin’ rights”. Its a utility blade holder, you stick a 50cent blade in it. That $150 thing won’t provide them braggin’ rights, it provides everyone else laughing rights! 
The “clone” is whats appropriate for utility blade holder imho. I’ll throw the real cash at something else.
I’m glad someone still has both feet on the ground.
I own the Chinese versions, even though I’ve nearly bought the real tad ones for around 120 or less. I have handled the Rexfords and they ARE phenomenal-as you’d expect from a high quality company. I think they’re prices are pretty over the top for an average joe like me…but for gear whores they might think I’m insane.
I think that around 100 or so bucks isn’t too unreasonable given the endless fiddle-factor of it and of course-necessary tactical bottle opener 
(as people would easily spend double that on flathead screwdriver pocket tools that don’t even have a blade) …but I still couldn’t come around to making the jump.
However, for a laughable copy in comparison to the real thing, I’ve found the copies to be much different than clones and can be justified guilt free. They honestly aren’t stealing any revenue from TAD.
I quite like that. Though it wouldn’t be legal here.
I recently got one of these Tiremet prybars from BangGood. I bought it thinking was cheap titanium but it’s magnetic, so may still get one from pouncing cat after all.
I gave him some orange ‘clothing’, which doesn’t match my pink things, but maybe give you some idea anyway. Feels much nicer to hold with the paracord:
Do you really find those small bar-things useful? I can’t figure a way they could be interesting, and I’m an EDC type of guy very much.
Aside from (very light) prying, what is the focus of those portable tools? Not bashing, just trying to better understand the reasons behind the enthusiasm they seem to gather among EDC / prepper folks.
For example, this Powerfix brand thing I got the other day thing does more stuff and is much cheaper than most bar-stuff I’ve encountered so far.
Strong tools like these are always useful. Unfortunately the very poor attitude of CountyComm means that they are very expensive now in the U.K. - £19.95 for the smallest, Pico, bar - so the copy’s are what people buy.
I have the Pocket and the Micro and they are much better than risking a broken tip on a knife blade. Good keyring tools but not as many uses as some have.
