My wife said no more “tool purses”… but I might build this kit for my backpack. 😂😂
😂
Lol, yeah. Mine just calls them "purses" in hopes I will like them less....didn't work.
That's funny, my Mrs calls the pew pews "dollies" cause us boys are always modifying, new attachments tinkering etc... Think she thought it would make us embarrassed & mess with em so much either but now we just say real loud in front of her friends to embarrass her "we're goin upstairs to play with our dollies babe!" .... Let her explain that backfire away 😂.
So as a woman who just became obsessed with this EDC stuff, all I can think is how I need to put together a man purse lol😂
Oh shit I hope my Missus doesn't hear that term. She will use it on me mercilessly 😂
What I've learned here is if I'm too well prepared, my "friends" will take advantage of me. Nice kit!
Real Men carry these tools because literally only Real Men, who have used tools regularly, end up with a rig like this from actual experience. He had me once he busted out the plumber's tape. This is a damn good kit.
Also I don't really do many favors for other people but since I'll be on the move for work-related purposes, I need a small highly efficient tool pouch to throw in with my travel gear.
I always carry (and I see it often overlooked) two pairs of vinal/latex gloves. If you're fixing a toilet or something greasy on an engine they're so worth it, they cost nothing and take up no room. I remember doing a fix on a lawn mower, nowhere to wash my hands so had to drive home with grease and oil on my hands, got it on my jeans, phone, steering wheel door handle always carried gloves after that
💯 Agree but make sure they are nitrile. They are chemical resistant, just in case you are working with something toxic. I made that mistake handling some industrial glues.
I have the 7" version of those Knipex pliers. They're incredible. The absolute best multi use pliers ever created.
I love my Knipex. I use a Klein 11 in 1 screwdriver. It’s a staple in my setups. I used it religiously when I was a fireman. I give them as gifts.
A mini Vaughan/Estwing prybar is a great addition to a kit like yours.
Also a small cold chisel lives in my kit and gets used weekly.
One thing I’d add is a small file or some form of sandpaper. I’ve ran into tons of times a file is needed in day to day stuff. The latest case was at a friends house and they turned their garbage disposal on with a spoon in it. Spoon had a ding in it that was pretty sharp. Pocket sized file saved the day!
what's you EDC file? mine is a half round diamond file, which is great on metals and stone/masonry, etc
And you'll probably carry that for decades and never use it again
@@MementoMori1001 in the year since that comment I’d say I use a mini file at least once a week. Used it yesterday at work. Needed to make an adjustment to a machine and clipped a plastic thing with wire cutters. Needed to smooth out the edges after the cut.
The knipex are great I have the seven inch cobras. And the plier wrench as well. Between the two they do everything all pliers do except three things. They don't lock and create a third hand for you, they don't cut wire, and they don't have thin needle nose. I recommend the small Irwin vice grip needle nose with wire cutter to work in concert with your knipex pliers. You will be satisfied. Klien makes a screwdriver the has a bunch of bits in the handle. Klien makes great screwdrivers and it kits. Replace all your bit a amd drivers with one of those. Good stuff. Replace duck tape with with t rex tape its better.
Yep, this is a better setup than the previous one. More practical.
Excellent tool kit with tools that are really useful! No fluff and right to the point!
Love the tool kit and i hear you about the utilizing the front pouch!. That is a neat kit you have there! I love my cobra Knipex pliers.
This is very similar to the 2.0 version of my kit. Was previously carrying a bunch of stuff i didnt need. Knipex pliers wrench FTW. I held on to the leatherman surge because of the saw blade options but the scissors on it suck and its bit driver works best to hold free spinning ends while you work on the other side with a dedicated driver. I ditched the magnetic base work light for a small headlamp. There is a version of the Milwaukee fastback that has a driver on it, it doesn't ratchet but it does shave off some bulk. I added some shears to the outside of the pack. Only things i would add to yours is a lighter, a sharpie, a silcock key, and a small sharpener or leather strop (sand paper and card stock works ok). I also started carrying the consumables in a separate pouch, one of those pencil cases that go in a 3 ring binder: 2x contractor bags, couple of sizes of zip ties, a couple of gallon size ziplock bags, super glue, shoe goo, bank line, tin of wax, and an old piece of plastic clamshell packaging with gaffers tape, electical tape in 3 colors wrapped around it to stay flat. Based on this i will add a carabiner. Thanks!
Nice video. I like how you are using real tools that work that are not ridiculously expensive. Well done
Just changed my daughters kitchen faucet using the pliers. They’re awesome. Great kit. Semper Fi
ive been on an EDC video marathon and this edc tool kit has been the one i can see myself using most. Checking your other content out now and def gave you a sub. Amazing stuff man.
Thanks man. Catch me on a Livestream and let's talk more
I plan to Build one. Thank you.
Great Channel. I was an Amphibious Assault ship captain and ESG commander. Love serving with Marines. So I ordered everything I didn’t have on hand already. Sure packs the maxpedition. Have to work to close it.
Good Job. I like this kit a lot. Plumbers tape. That's a great idea. Thanks.
I have several Maxpedition pouches. I have them all set up for different uses. I love them!
#Battalion
Really good kit!
Maxpedition organization bags are my favorite as well!
Here’s what I have in mine, including recent swap outs and new additions:
- Knipex Cobra Mini
- Hoto Screwdriver
- Old credit card wrapped in duck tape
- Bic lighter
- Swiss army knife
- Blister pads & a few ibuprofen
- Antacid tablets
- Fenix LD 20 flashlight (old as f and pretty dinged up, but going strong)
- set of lock picks
- set of door latch needles (saves you big $$$ in locksmith bills if your scatterbrained butt forgot his keys inside, and can also really save your neighbors day)
- universal set of control cabinet and maintenance access keys (Knipex Twin Key)
- Starrett automatic center punch
I love watching these, mainly to ideas for a small bag for the family car cause my truck has everything I need to change out an hvac system 🤣 ive got more than enough stuff to get me out of a situation on there
If I were you I’d look into the Wera 818/4/1, 051000. Only use Wera and Knipex! Both made in Germany both 10/10 qaulity. The Wera you push a button and it pops down to expose x6 1/4” bits. Has the rapidaptor but chuck that securely holds bits. An at the collar you press that and it extends out automatically like 4”. Press collar again and it comes out so you can chuck it into a power drill as it itself is a 1/4”. Wish we could post pics.
Being from Australia, and building my own get home, edc, emergency and bug out kits, would love to get some real budget ideas for my extended family for edc.
Thanks. You got a lot of good ideas 👍
Thanks for doing. 2 reconditioned, Wera tool check plus ( sockets & bits) & Vim Tools RFB400K( replace ratcheting screwdriver and instead if roll duct tape wrap some duct tape around an old plastic bank/ loyalty card, would considerably reduce your pack size
This is awesome. I added small wire cutters, super glue, a mini level and some paracord. Also some magnets to use as stud finders. Love your videos. Thanks, man!!
What kind of small wire cutters can you recommend?
Great video and thanks for the links.
Good straightforward review , and yes those cheap Allen Wrenches that come with the crappy furniture are the worst. 😢 I like the fit it sticks , a leatherman , and a flash light. I’m running a cloud defense MCH but that’s more of a tactical light.
Thanks for putting this together. Exactly
What I needed to see.
Carrying way too much stuff in our truck for “just in case”. Prob about a 3 gallon tote full of full sized tools and sockets etc.
Time to get serious bout carrying what I need instead of everything I have
So youre going to carry whats already in your truck that sounds adequate enough to do any job, being full size, to now downsize and carry it on your person? Is that right?
II like it. I carry my Leatherman Wave on my belt, with the set of bits and an extension, the sheath also holds a rechargeable flashlight. I keep a large tool roll in the truck.
Awesome content brother, great breakdown. Just subscribed 👍
I love your channel. You keep the videos interesting. I am going to make one of these kits.
Thanks much
The milwaukee ultility knives are great and they come in 3 models, the basic with just the blade, one with extra blades in the handle, and one with a fold out hex driver in the handle. One of the best bangs for the buck regardless of which you choose.
You speak the truth. The Milwaukee Fastback is a handy knife through and through.
I carry a smaller kit . I carrya streamlight stylus pro and a Milwaukee 6-1 /screwdriver,1/4 craftsman bit ratchet a small tin of bits mm allen bits torx 10-25 largy Phillips and flat and few other bits malco 1/4 -5/16 flip socket bit . knipex xs pliers, pokka pen 4" crescent wrench. Small pry bar . This is pocket kit I carry every day . And use it for 3 years.
The world needs heroes and heroes need utility belts. This one is very similar to mine just a little better put together. Pretty sure the K is silent on the Knipex. Great job as always. Thank you sir.
Like it! I am really hesitant on buying my first multi-driver with bit storage tool because I don’t know which one to get. Being easy to change bits would probably be the biggest factor since I would rather carry 2 small and 2 larger flathead and Philips than mess with a clunky all in one tool. Thoughts? Recommendation?
Bravo, I have to downsize because of you I see that it is time to upgrade my pouches. I only have first aid and whole ratchet sets and tool boxes (truck) that are fully functional. However if needed to do small projects I fail somewhat. Thanks 👊🏾 #battalion
Nice kit!
This video has alot of stories I felt on a personal level
Stories of my life.
Good kit and Great presentation!
Thank you kindly!
One thing I've added is a lighted compact magnifying glass. You'd be suprised how often one uses it.
I appreciate your knowledge
The only two things I would change is replace the Allan's with ball end Allen's. Great for faucet screws. Lastly get blue plumbers tape. It has a chemical in it to give a better seal. Other than that I think I will have to steal this and keep in my truck when I help others out.
Bought 2 new knipex pliers that are in your video for $8 at an estate sale. Picked them up quick.
Great kit! I would add in a tiny tube of crazy glue and maybe some loctite too.
EDC tools = Knipex Cobra and Pliers Wrench, Icon 1/4" driver & bits kit, duct, electric, shrink and Teflon tape, zip ties, bit driver, utility knife, pen/pad, bic lighter, bandana, original leatherman from HS graduation.
Would you consider a small bit ratchet, and a few hex bits? With some bit ratchets you could even use the double sided bits from your screwdriver. Faster and easier on the hand than the foldable hex keys (but not as much reach).
great video and kit. only suggestion is a second adjustable wrench because you almost always need 2
Great vid big bro 🔥
Great EDC...I'm looking to put one together. I would probably add a tic tracer (voltage tester).
Literally just commented on the older took kit video then found this one 😂
Great videos, man!
THAT, is a nice kit. 😁
lol. I love how you have specific examples of times people asked you to do all these favors. You get a sub from me.
Thanks for joining the battalion
Get that Klien mini rachet is perfect Champ comes with 4 bits too.
Great additions!
When bro said “can you help move the because you’re the one with the truck” I felt that in my soul 😭
I'm glad you posted this. It reminded me to replenish the zip ties in my bag that I recently used. I knew I was forgetting something.... Have you looked at the Rocket Book reusable notepads? The only thing I don't like about them is you have to use a certain type of pen. Other than that, I love mine.
The Tekton screwdriver set is made in Michigan.Have one in my EDC.
Thanks for the vid.
No problem!
sofirn SC18 is a good flashlight as well there so many good ones check then out and there cheap as well
A pocket full of wago lever nuts and 10mm - 19mm quadbox gearwrench ratcheting wrenches are the newest additions to my kit.
Shoot me a link
@@MarineX The wago's are from amazon search: WAGO 221 Lever-Nuts 28pc Wire Connector Assortment Pocket Pack. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0LRTXZ . The quadbox wrenches were from home depot on clearance came as a set of two (www.homedepot.com/p/GEARWRENCH-72-Tooth-12-Point-Metric-QuadBox-Double-Box-Ratcheting-Wrench-Set-with-Bit-Holder-13-Piece-85210D/205595527) and I added the third wrench separately. www.homedepot.com/p/GEARWRENCH-QuadBox-12-Point-Metric-Reversible-Ratcheting-Wrench-9mm-x-11mm-14mm-x-15mm-85213/205592493 . They sold out, but they regularly come on sale at Napa Auto and occasionally pop back in stock at home depot.

Great kit I love the stuff
I just worry if you shove lot of gear into a pouch it will stretch out the elastic and ruin it
This elastic is definitely more stretched out. However, I use multiple times a month and it's doing pretty good
Nice video, I did watch part of your other one you refer to, but I didn't make it all the way through becaus it did come across at 'look at all this stuff', and it didn't really have a purpose. However, this kit in this video is really neat. Definitely sold on the Fatty as a carry case, and the selection of stuff in there is exceptionally practical. You just need to find a way to cram in a balaclava in there and you'll have an even MORE capable EDC tool kit ;-)
I have to recommend my favorite screwdriver I own & I own way too many, you may already own it but it’s the Klein Insulated Flip Blade Flat/Phillips. Home Depot has them for around $20. It’s not the end all be all but if I could only keep one screwdriver that would definitely be it.
Shoot me a link
My links won’t stay up, idk what’s going on.
@@BackyardEngineer334 send it on Twitter. twitter.com/TheMarineX?t=eB35wU0ZOM21FOpGPDkXFA&s=09
I sent a link to your email
Hi, you often need to hold both nut and bolt, so may be some kind adjustable wrench could be important to add.
Agreed. I normally have a multi tool in my left pocket. So two pliers felt crowded in here. But it totally makes sense
Hey Marine-X, Just curious what was your MOS in the Marine Corps?
Nice kit. If I can give one suggestion. Kobalt makes a little socket kit the same size as the texton kit an it’ll give you some sockets instead of more bits. Nonetheless it looks like a great kit.
Looks like you have a Knipex locking crescent wrench. I don't mind that, but I prefer a pliers profile better. I carry a Klein backpack, so I have a little more room to spare, but I found that 10" and 7" Knipex slip-joint pliers have been perfect for just about every task. And if I had to, I could do 95% of what the 10" ones do with the 7".
Really like this video because it made me rethink my tools setup. By the way, I recommended you to the EDC Collaborative, a bunch of EDC content creators that occasionally have loadout competitions. The organizer for that group may reach out to you.
Nice. I'll look into that
@@MarineX check under Maxlvledc’s videos or Everyday Minimalist.
@@videolife101 I just sent him a DM on Instagram
You should review 6" SATA MINI ADJUSTABLE WRENCH. Perfect for edc gear
I watch different people’s EDC videos. I say that because as a mid-level Autistic, one thing I do on UA-cam is that I strive to learn different adulting skill.
Check out the HOTO 24-1 precision screwdriver. Bout the size of a sharpie marker. Pretty sweet little screwdriver
Good amount of hand torque?
Title says it all!
👏👏👏👏👏nice 👍
sofirn SP33S or wurkkos TS25 is a good one and many many more
Knipex pliers wrench awesome ain't it 👍🇬🇧
Ti is the material, the pen is by Big Idea Design
pretty solid kit. I would add a small prybar...because nails and staples are a pain in the butt. with the tape you have, what about electrician's tape? a pair of earplugs might be worth it.
Good ideas here
I carry a similar kit but I never go anywhere with a small OHm meter!
Just posted my Beefy Loadout on FB….Have a twin mounted on my RMP in my Goruck Bullet.
Also maybe a volunteer tester pen.
Is this a edc or a mini toolbox?!
One major tool I found lacking was a multi-meter. So many modern problems are related to electronics.
Totally agree. But I'm not helping my friends with eletrical so they can sue me 😂
@@MarineX Good friends you've got there.
Thought you were a green man. I'm lovin all the orange!
It would seem like you are an ideal fried and your friends are useless lol. Bravo!
The " my wife wants you to go down and check the pipes " kit.
I need to up my game to Knipex. Running a crappy pair of Craftsman robopliers.
+1 multi-tool, +1 roll of electrical tape.
Hey man I just got some crappy ikea furniture wanna come help put it together
Only if there are no directions and keystone lite
Are you a free lance handyman of some sort?
👍🏿
I’m at DISD now 🤦🏿♂️ I feel so naked at work without my shit
Can't take it?
I'm a WT White alumni
In the truck 🛻 👀 not in my person naw
@@MarineX I went to Kimball back in the gap
Hey man…instead of having a small roll of duck tape. Get a old gift card and wrap duck tape around the card. You can give yourself several feet without the bulk of a roll.
This is not the beefy it is the fatty 😊
Giggty to both 😂
The morale patch sticking above the bag looks unkempt - not neat. Lose it, altogether or get a lot smaller one. It looks like it would get in the way of removing items from the front pouch.
Pound sand
Sounds like you need to get some more practical mates pal. 😄
I only carry a hammer. If you can't fix it with a hammer then its an electrical issue.
This is Joe Average's kit that doesn't actually use his tools, and wants to pretend that he has a reason to use the term EDC. It is a fair beginning learner's kit.
Keyboard princess
No. Guy who actually uses tools that he carries every single day. I don't carry them in a little pouch, but on my hip. There's rarely an hour in my day that I don't have one of these tools in my hand.@@MarineX
