Fantastic pry bars from 🇺🇸 - Jimmy Lynch who runs Triarii Metalworks. Love that bloke and great work too. Then Zach Woods (ZW) who makes awesome pry bars as well and these are all for working with as well and not just pretty to look at. Can't get enough of either of those guys and I'm in the UK as well, so would order more but for import costs, etc. 👍🏻😄 Both have groups on Facebook for buying from.
precision screwdriver(s) from Moody if you want US-made. or Picquic Teeny-turner if you consider Canada a colder, bigger US State with more beavers and mooses per square meter. 😏 an excellent and durable made in USA strap pad is the old Domke postal pad. 😽
Thanks for the lead. Maratac has a sense of humor with this: "Disclaimer: Although the EOD Breacher Tool was developed and designed to enter the real world of urban combat, and with a little work with a file, belt sander, grinder, stone or a rock to it could be sharpened and converted to a Deadly stabbing or slashing instrument we can't recommend it. Likewise, the flat on the handle end should not be used as a skull or rib crusher or for performing other blunt trauma. Sorry these are not returnable. Be safe, and don't play with matches or run with scissors."
Doc, you're probably a mac guy, but in the future keep an eye on System76 for laptops, they do have partially made in usa desktop computers, obviously the components inside are near impossible to get USA of everything. I heard they are working on made in usa laptop again might just be the parts they can get away with. But I think they are on the right track at least. They do work on their own Linux distribution variant too. I share your frustration on getting any USB reader type device in USA. With all the clever people out there you'd think we'd have dozens of them. I wonder if anyone rolls their own using 3D printed enclosures, because seems to be a very personalization type thing. As always, learned a lot from this video. I think Atlas46 might at some point spread out to some non-tool bag things and get into EDC. No idea, but I would NOT be surprised. Recently they've been showing cool Christmas gifts and they are selling a Grace Screwdriver kit, also USA made.
i like your bag - especially the ability to CC a butane torch ;-) ... Been using a Coach sholder bag for many years in heavy black leather with brass twist-lock fittings - very durable, US made, and my US made 13" dell xps fits fine (as does my SW 460 XVR)...
Hey doc, i treat my computer like my phone. It get a cover and screen protector. My Mac has a thin plastic cover, it’s only for scratches, but it also sets it apart from all the other silver Mac’s. Anyway awesome looking bag, looks like something made by Fjällräven (mean that as a compliment) good luck with you “maiden voyage” BIC is a French brand btw, just info no judgement guess it’s the same deal as a Mac - designed one place and made in another. Was it wera bits I spied in the bike tool?
The less "Tactical" looking the better, alot of people seem to be going back to leather and canvas bags, same for wallets...most of the people I know who tried the ridge wallet or equivalent ended up switching back to leather minimalist style wallets, haven't tried the axwell, looks cool tho....LW Out :)
Good video! I still have that green Eagle Creek...used it a lot...a tough piece of kit...you should probably consider conditioning that leather flap with conditioning oil or mink oil...
Off topic. Cornwell Tools hbr5cq. Looks like they are made by another manufacturer. Picked one up off the tool truck not too long ago. Really cool little minimalist ratchet/bit driver/wrench. Seems high quality.
Beautiful bag! Might need some tape - a few feet of duct tape - and perhaps a few feet of steel wire. I mostly use 17ga galvanized "electric fence" wire made in USA because I have a mile or two on hand, but up to 20 or 24 ga "hobby wire" or stainless steel tie wire is often strong enough (stainless is tough stuff) and easier to handle. Good for all kinds of field expedient things such as improvising a handle repair on a bag. With a Clamp-Tite (made in USA) or DIY version the wire can be a hose clamp but also tightly connect things together, e.g. broken bottle bracket to downtube. I also like to have a few band-aids in my bag when I'm not carrying a small first aid kit.
Hey Doc, check out the Wolf tooth/1UpUSA multitool. If you have a 1Up rack (the best bike rack made), you’ll have a very small 3/8 security hex to remove the rack. AND, the tools seem to be smaller. It may be the more precision bits you are looking for. Still would love to see you review MTB EDC….
@@lastbesttool see if you can find a Filson 257. Discontinued but available used or NOS if you search a bit. A great bag and made in USA. I love mine it’s built like a tank.
Channellock sells USA made precision screwdriver sets. Reasonably priced when I got them. Acetate handles. I prefer Austrian butane torches personally. :-)
I'm looking for something that stores the bits in the handle. I have small USA Craftsman that are similar, but this is not a tool bag, but an EDC daily carry. My stainless torches are USA made, but the rest are Austrian as well.
I looked but don't see what I'm looking for like the PB Swiss type handle/holder. I also searched eBay for USA-made vintage precision screwdrivers, and most are the tiny bits that fit on a handle but not store in the handle. I have plenty of Craftsman precision drivers, but each individual, and now considered vintage even though I bought them new. Wonder how that happened?
@@lastbesttool Starrett, and others such as Bergeon (and others made in Switzerland), are designed to be able to remove the blade and stone it in a fixture.
you'll pay thousands for something made in china but not dollars? :-P I'm all for made in usa and will buy from here if i can, but i don't see anything wrong with something made in china. i do have a problem with chinese clones of usa products or china products made by known problem factories... otherwise every country makes things and if you like the thing, enjoy it. :-) if you can buy an alternative made in the usa even better, but just my thoughts... also, benchmade are the best knifes ever. arguments not accepted! ;-) haha
Thanks for showing us your Nutsac Doc!
What a great idea with the tubing computer thing. Thanx! Im stealing this.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
"Butane torch" and "quickly open a letter" 🤣
To stop your Zippo from drying out put a tight rubber inertube over the hinged top and bottom of the zippo tried and tested work's great.

I like that bag a LOT - thanks for the review. I have a couple of Klein precision screwdrivers, that are "4 in 1" - but not sure where they are made.
Pro tip with the pool noodle to protect a laptop. Awesome!
Red ox bags are made in mt.
I'll look into them. Billings is next door, only 325 miles away.

This would be a good series, try making one edc for made in Japan

exotac lighter also makes a really nice lighter from aluminum and it has an o-ring in the cap so it does not dry out.
I have several Exotac products and even made a video about them, but they don't seem to be USA made. Tell me if I'm wrong.
@Last Best Tool according to their website the lighters say made in the USA with aircraft grade aluminum. I have a lighter and it's really nice.
I want to hear more about your bicycle tools
Can you tell me if the “butane torch” pocket is completely separate from
the inside?
It's not
For a prybar check out Martinez titanium pry bar. Made in America. Great stuff but very expensive
What kind of doctor are you?
Rogan USA has some nice pry bars you might like.
The Maratac 022 Large Breacher prybar might wotk for you.

Are plugfones actually made in USA??
You should check out the new hoto flash lights
I will. Thanks.
Can you get this through airport security?
Without the sharps, I don't think there would be a problem.

Does a 14” MacBook fit in there. I don’t wanna get the giant 15” bag.
My 13" MacBook Pro fits with about 1.5 - 2" of extra space along the edge is available, and at least that much above to the zipper.
@@lastbesttool thank you so much! That saved me some dough!

zippo has a butane insert now
Never know when a letter might suddenly need to be opened. :)
I'd have loved to carry a "Nutsac" when I was 12!😂 I imagine it's impossible to a made-in-America EDC if you carry a cell phone or computer.
Beautiful bag!

You should check out Chapman bit ratchets 100% USA made
I looked at them, but really just want a small bit set in a handle. Will keep them in mind though. Since this is not a tool kit, simplicity is key.

Filson makes great waxed canvas bags.
I have a Filson waxed canvas hat, but some Filson today is not made in USA. I'd have to check.
@@lastbesttool see if you can find a Filson 257. Discontinued but available used or NOS if you search a bit. A great bag and made in USA. I love mine it’s built like a tank.
