You should have shown how the pens write.

i believe you can also charge the flashlight via wireless qi charging

"Budget EDC" is just EDC; the people spending a hundred bucks for a titanium OTF nail file don't do EDC, they do gadgets.

I have to try and get one, I get the newsletter but how do I get on the waiting list? The guys on eBay reselling them are robbing me without a mask. I don’t mind paying for quality products but I hate buying stuff from people who just bought it to flip it for a big mark up.

You need a wireless hole puncher

Love the simpsons donut style

It’s a flashlight.

I did not expect the second mini bugout to appear. I like your style. 🤣

The Shard is probably my most used piece of edc besides my leatherman.

Suggested upgrades over your $35 if you're willing to spend more… I like the Zebra F-301 Compact. it's the half-size alternative to the F-301 which the less premium-feeling than the F-701 (it's not all metal), but for $4 it's got Fisher Bullet size, with a pocket clip that's decent. The plastic body of the short does not feel cheap, but it is still plastic. And it won't take a gel ink or Fisher cartridge, until you widen the metal tip a hair with a needle file. Want to use the original ballpoint cartridge after doing the mod? Single layer of scotch tape around the tip, under the spring, just behind the metal ballpoint tip improves the feel. You can still get an Olight i3t which is like the i3e but with the fancy features, clip, etc. Still AAA, no USB-C or anything, about $18 on Amazon. The i2r pro is $22 and has the USB C charging. No pocket clip, it's the one that looks like the i3e but is rechargeable. Much more than that you start getting into kits which bundle the i3t/i2r pro for under $30 if that's the direction you want to go, but I'm not counting bundle prices here. Wear glasses? Fabric hair tie. It'll turn any of these lights into a glasses-mounted headlamp. Don't wear glasses? Double loop of shock cord round your head stuffed into a cord lock. RAT-II, currently $40-40 for AUS-8 or $42 for D2. They'll both rust if you don't hit 'em with some mineral oil where I live. That 4-way clip is NICE for a southpaw. Only way it could be better for me would be if it was a flipper. Why? Because I AM a southpaw and finding a 🤬 left-side pocket clip is usually like pulling teeth, so I've gotten used to not having room for my thumb on a stud. Still, it's fine, I like it. CIVIVI Mini-Praxis for $30 withOUT the four way clip (but has the flipper) in D2. Defiitely consider the Victorinox Floral, Solo, and Bantam especially if you live in some commie country (😉) that doesn't allow locking knives because they hate your safety. Victorinox is pretty solid for a slipjoint.

😮

At last something sensible …

I have all those knives and the doohickey. All good EDC items. Nice video!

Also recommend the Gerber Mullet as a simple little pry / multitool. I use it to hang my keys off a belt loop, as i hate having keys in my pocket.

So no wireless charging ?

The i3e has a pretty awesome beam. Love to use it.

0:35 Bold of you to assume it's only 1...

Love it... but when i noticed it has no USBC at all.. thats a deal breaker for me. i also expected dual white LEDS like on the E7, which is why i bought that one (and its awesome).. but the swivel head and display make this interesting as a consideration..

Acebeam Pokelit AA, 500 Lumen, Rechargeable battery $20 best edc light. I use it EVERY single day.

I don't know if the Milwaukee 1505 is counted as budget in this regard but that is one of my mains. since they dropped I use the civivi element utility at work. I can't join this for my pen tho being team fountie lol

Luv my Rat 1 with camo scales. Great vid dude. I should get the Rat 2 in D2 as a lighter EDC option.

Best Knives, Victorinox, Mora, Opinel. 💪🏻

I can vouch for those Muji pens. I've been maining them recently and they're fantastic!

Alright, I'm completely new to your channel but in the intro I was immediately drawn to your couch.. is it sitting on your baseboards? Has anyone else ever asked this or am I the odd one that focused on it?

What you say about the Victorinox Cadet Alox now four Years later??? Best Greets from Germany.

Bad day to be a hot dog

I've found a lot of joy in delving into budget EDC and have several of the items you list here. Great video!

Lol bro. I just liked and subscribed because of that silly joke hahaha.

I enjoyed your video, thank you. I use a Fisher Space Pen refill in my Zebra -701 to give me that write anywhere versatility; also I work in a hospital and the stainless steel pen is easy to wipe down to keep clean.

Great video... Love budget stuff. I recommend the Bantam Alox...fits in your wallet....

can you run it off the base while it's charging?

Subscribed cause of the pen gag!

I have a F-701 and an elementum and I approve this video

Cool video sir, I'm from europe and I would just like to say this, a opinel number 10 is a good option also when it comes to budget knives. Keep up the good work!

Do you or have you ever wore a bracelet or had it as part of your EDC

Just add usbc charging directly into the light and you don't need either. That's what stopped me from getting one. No way to charge it without a dock.

Great review! Any thoughts on why the predecessor X2 has a comparatively whopping 2500 lumens? Oh wait! So the actual light itself doesn’t have a charging port? That’s a bummer imo. That necessitates pocket carrying a charger as well.

Just bought one! Curious how people actually EDC this with the clip? Do you throw it in the bottom of your pockets or a pouch/organizer? Only thing I miss is some sort of deep carry clip option

The light looks cool. I might just wait for the sale. Glad to see I’m not the only one who is not a fan of camping. 😂

My issue is noon replaceable battery. Eventually it'll be junk because the battery won't hold charge

Great content! Love it.

I love this light! It’s the only one I carry anymore! It also has a strobe feature with 3 clicks. It also wireless charges with the MagSafe chargers! Nice video Tom! Keep’em coming!

Best light on the market. From off triple click equals strobe, then quick hold for ramping of strobe speeds.

Solid vid my man -- alox is def a staple

Been looking at this for a long time. Love the multiple uses for it. Might have to add one to the collection

Tom, I love you, but I think you may be misleading your audience here. That almost certainly does not actually say "like and subscribe" on the side of that flashlight. You thought you could pull one over on us, but some of us are pretty sharp.

Nice review! I was on the kickstarter for this and it was a bit of a shitstorm, but I'm a big Wuben fan from way back to the kickstarter before that for the X2. I love Wuben's lights and what they are trying to do. I want to score a Ti X2 and then I will have all of the Wuben I need for right now.

That thumbnail got my attention! It's awesome seeing you on YT more. I bet many will move here if insta stays the way it is. Let's keep it up 🙌🏻😁

Cheers Tom. Good to see you on the Tube. I’ve got the ice blue X3 and it lives clipped inside the top of my everyday pack, a sterling little light that packs a big punch and makes me grin practically every time I break it out. Toys for daft boys. I’m still hankering after a Kingpin so keep cracking those puppies out. Already looking forward to the next video. Till the next time. A
