You know, this made me wonder... why aren't there more titanium sockets, screwdrivers, etc? I've seen some wrenches before and one socket set from Ko-ken... but it was over $4,200.

It was good to look at their website but I... as in me... will not be buying. I'm more of a Victorinox Swiss Champ guy. The one I bought for my 16 B-day in 1986 has lived nearly every day in my pocket and saved my bacon many many times. Admittedly it's (our😅) age is showing . I may retire it next year😢. I'll see if a new Swiss Champ is up to snuff. I know it has more functions now. The pin is cool ! I'm not convinced about the parcel hook though 🤔.
I can think of one use for that prybar! But if I spell it out somebody might report something and make your video disappear, so I’m just going to bite my tongue. 😐
I like the ice pick. But why for the price not a better steel. As an Ice pick I like to see it survive a bit of a torture test before I spend $70. How does it stand up against ice?
According to who... What does that even mean, to far? I carry a Case pocket knife (always) a pocket clip knife, Leatherman Wave, firearm and most of the time a small flash light. Sometimes a fixed blade knife. For me and the environment I'm in that will cover 99% of what I should encounter. For someone else my items might not make the minimum list of EDC.
@@randysmith9636 it's not about that, too far might be referred to titanium pry bars that are 200$+, titanium pocket jewelry that is around 100$ called an edc necessity, it's just unnecessary stuff that looks good in social media photos, the tools that you carry are useful, i carry a pair of 125mm knipex saved me multiple times for odd things, even if i don't use them every day i still carry them
I hear ya! I know this person whose EDC includes a shoulder bag carried everywhere filled with documents, money, emergency and first aid supplies, snacks, minor tools, cellphone with cords and charging battery along with some gold and silver carried outside the bag. Plus she wears a large glass breaker on her finger.
@@lastbesttool Hmm. That's a lot of stuff to carry every day. Perhaps in homage to her, I should try using my RV as my daily commuter vehicle. Among the tools I've got are a high torque, mid torque, Pex crimper and plumbing supplies, circular saw, oscillating tool, SDS impact driver, stick welder, snow shovel, normal shovel, shop press, leaf blower, anvil, hydraulic crimper, Metal soldering station, die grinder, wire from 4 AWG to 30 AWG, DIN terminals, grease gun, construction adhesives (silicone, non-silicone), charcoal grill, generator, spare generator. And of course I tow a spare car just in case. (2023, we were on the road for 8 months, and it's a 1994 RV, so we do all our maintenance on the road.)
I liked the history part of those EDC tools
You have to be living in a pretty advanced fantasy world to need an EDC tool for administering the coup de grace to wounded knights in armour.

Absolutely right.
Dude I’ve been laughing about this comment ever since I saw it. Thanks for that!
The stiletto look's beautifully wicked and I definitely gotta get one
Good looking EDC products. Thanks for sharing Doc
Good video
I like that little clever knife

@ thanks Doc
basically the kizer sheepdog mini to be honest

I think you just answered your own question.
@@randysmith9636 Cost goes down to a better point if they're mass produced.

Prymate goes in my tool belt

same here, been carrying a badic victorinox for 30+ years
Both EDC's I would never carry, the thought of assembling a tool to end a life is not an appealing concept.
That’s just the interesting historical inspiration for the tool. I will probably use it for leatherwork and fidgeting.
Titanium is known for its strength and being light weight but does that necessarily mean it has the the proper hardness to last as a screwdriver?
it doesn't. this stuff seems completely unusable to be honest. probably very expensive,.....

U bolt pry tool
No ¼ for bits
that small knife is toooootally not copied from the kizer sheepdog mini....

Kansept produce some useless stuff
