I carry the ICON bit set in my EDC backpack. A week after I bought it, my coworker needed help hanging a ceiling fan. His drill was a 6V cheapie, and died. So I used my ICON ratchet and elbow grease, and got the fan installed. He gave me $50. The ICON cost me $38 on sale. Literally paid for itself the first time I used it. 👍
sick!!!
This is the way!
I usually carry a .30 caliber gun cleaning brush in my sheath, the kind that screw into a rod. It is easy to grind the threaded portion to fit into the Leatherman bit exchanger. The size seems to work best for general field cleaning, but also is good for cleaning up threads on old bolts.
We have a similar low end kit & use magnets to keep the extras in, it also make it shallow enough thus can be easily taken out without using a pair of pliers. Mod a multitool sheath to acommondate & easy carry in the field. Great compatison matey. Cowabunga.!
I just got the fixit sticks love it found a bit that has a 14” socket adapter that fits in the end holes perfectly 😎🇺🇸🤙🏼
The non ratcheting version is outfitted for bikes which rarely need slotted and imperial hex. For me, I love the set up on the smaller set. But, I can see how the ratcheting version may work well for more general use. Thanks for the comparison.
I like it!
Esp. the pry bar/wrench feature.
Nice set up. Looks to be more of a great kit for a compact tool bag
I have been eyeing a set of fixit sticks for a while, however I think I will go with the icon set as soon as I can find it in stock.
I like all the kits, I understand that the non-ratcheting Fix-It-Sticks was for firearm maintenance. I don't know that industry but think it would be nice if all the Torx bits were also security bits. I don't think that would compromise the tools any but would make it great for electronics.
I love your videos man
@ 3:30 , the hole in the prying tool you are referring tool, has the cutouts for 3 different nut sizes, or those sizes that can accommodate both metric and SAE sizes (i.e. 1/2 & 13mm, etc).
I think the hole on the end of the ratchet set is to hold one of torque limiter bits that fix it sticks makes.
Nice review.
New one reminds me a lot of the other modular thandle you got
Lol I don't know what it was about that video but I think that screwdriver video was my most re-watched video of the year. I bought so many products and found so many other creators because of that video. You really sent me down a rabbit hole man, geat videos!
I'm glad, and if anything is not up to snuff please let me know. The feedback factors into future recommendations.
@@maxlvledc I just saw your short about the Steelman multi bit driver and one of the mods I had to make to that tool was I had to Krazy glue the niodinium magnet back into the shaft because it comes out after a few weeks of use. I use this tool all the time so I can give it a pass, but that is one common complaint I read on Amazon reviews too, just so you are aware.
Love my icon set $30 on sale but i twisted the t8 bit a little trying to get my icon knife open. Got it twisted mostly back but still havent opened the knife
This is a very interesting set up. Sabre cut has some micro 1/4 ratchets I've been looking at.
i got the folding 72 teeth one with 1/4 socket and hex driver on the head, best 18€ i ever spent, it's small but it's stupid solid and has little to no play, it holds both bits and sockets very very tightly too, so even if it falls you wont loose anything
You should review /check out Mininch Tool Pen, Hacksmith Ultimate Screwdriver, ScrewDriverKing and Man of God, 8-in-1 Metal Screwdriver Set and Case (I know what it sound like but it looks interesting).
Can the Base model use double end Wiha bits? I was thinking of purchasing the double end bits with the Fixit Go (slim model) and use a 1/4" Hex as the 'Connecting' bit. Essentially holding 6 Bits on the sticks alone for ultralight and versatile.
Nice comparison of the two kits. There's a clear size difference, and while having the ratcheting driver sounds nice in theory, as I watch a few of the many different EDC tools videos, I'm left wondering: when do I really _want_ a ratcheting driver, and when is that not enough benefit for the weight and strength trade-offs it requires.
For a kit this size, what kinds of things do I _want_ the ratcheting driver for, over the fixed driver? What are the kinds of tasks where it goes from "nice to have" to "really useful"?
I think this is a really really good approach. I would personally keep this in my backpack as part of a very compact toolkit.
could you do a review on the Titan roto head micro ratchet?
Always take care of your side pieces.
I am impressed with both of these kits......Nice for a pack or bag, or car/bike kit....a little too bulky for edc on person....Were you lucky enough to pick up a Doc Allen Versatool when they were available? Countycomm had them last...maybe bought rights to them as original website is down.....and twiter blank.....Sliding head t handle with extension and bit holder in a zippered pouch. Good quality, I believe made in taiwan... Pics all over web.....They were originally around $12. Last I saw a few years ago was almost $30.....now gone...
I've seen them, never did get one
This one or the Prestacycle Pro T Handle?
you could of used the tool itself to pull out the extra bit with its magnet engaging no?
For the adapter you pulled from the holder with the pliers, did you try using the magnet on the extender instead? I wonder if it's strong enough to pull that out once the adapter has engaged with the holder.
It won't work with it, because the non hex side is facing outward
Isn`t that cutout in the Pry Bar at 3:30 also to work on hex nuts and bolts? Looks to me like three different sizes.
Besides that I would prefer the smaller version for edc. But I would love to have the Pry Bar on that.
100%, I only mentioned it very briefly. That or I forgot after filming this 3 times lol.
Seems like this would pair really well with Wiha double-ended bits.
Don't work, wiha bits are too long
@@maxlvledc Aw shucks. Well thanks for the reply
Thanks for the video! I’m curious about how fine the teeth are in the ratchet
Hmm, not super fine..but good for it's size
Not sure if my first mention of this went through
Maybe the 51154 TKO edc ratchet might interest you
Its on multiple websites
I'll try to look for it.
Do the fixit sticks work with the wiha double ended bits? Or are they too long?
no sadly
3:45 That's a nut drive, as well as a pry tool
That's a really neat watch. What is it?
Oh, it's a ratchet screwdriver review vid, sorry, got distracted. Makes me want to retire some hand tools in my toolbox and put that in instead... Your channel has cost me the most of any on You Tube. Keep up the excellent work and specific comparisons.
How much does your daily bag weigh? Mine's starting to need wheels...
sorry not sorry lol. I just hope your satisfied, if you don't like something let me know because it factors into future recommendations.
@@maxlvledc It's money well spent!
So the icon kit has more bits, at a lower price, compared to the ratcheting fix it sticks? Sounds like the icon is the better buy for the money. Btw, can you use the icon extension with a fix it stick?
Yes, you can. Which is cool
And you can use the icon as a t handle and the extension can give you more leverage
Where did you get that hobby / scalpel 1/4 holder?
Was part of a kobalt kit I had a while back
@@maxlvledc thanks
@@maxlvledc also rogan which makes some great edc (use it the wrong way everyday)
Tools on amazon might garner a once over
Love you videos always
Do you have a link for the icon bit set
www.harborfreight.com/locking-flex-head-ratchet-and-bit-set-35-piece-58074.html
I just got my fixit without the ratchet....now I find this exists
Oh, sorry, second comment, for a different question/suggestion. Might be useful to put links to the ICON driver video and purchase link.
I thought I did? in description.
Funky
WOW ONLY 40 BUCKS ! DOES IT BEND EASY? IS IT CHINESEY QUALITY?
Taiwan, and its very good quality actually.
hopefully these tools will not sold out soon as the Icon.
Everything about the FixItSticks kit makes sense except the price.
Made in Taiwan and from what I can tell, excellent quality.
@@maxlvledc Cool. The ICON tools set you showed makes way more sense.
these things are stupid expensive on Amazon. Some sets going for up to $700.00 that is stupid no matter how well designed!
They target the cycling community. Found out a lot of others liked their tools.
The price you pay for "Made in USA." The fixitstick is twice as expensive as the ICON kit. Yeah, no thanks, I like my ICON.🤣
