Little pro tip for anyone who wants a reliable compact window breaker. Those little nail setters work great. One tap is all it takes to pop non laminated glass. Obviously laminated you're gonna need a glass saw or a big heavy blade. I have firsthand experience popping side vehicle windows with them👍
A center punch works great too. You don’t have to swing it. Just set it against the glass and push.
Am I the only one bothered that he scratched his table with the pocket axe? 🤣🤣 Good stuff though, the wierd find videos are lit!
Yes
Agree. Maybe it’s an old table.
I winced at every slice, and then the chop 😫
Its good to have a table you dont care about. My bedroom table is topped with a cutting board because Im always tinkering. I like the cutting board because it has the drain rim around it for small spills.
Hey Taylor, that bracelet is similar to the GTFO bracelets that SAP Gear sells. Their design is a lot more low profile, and they also have a model with a handcuff key. Loved the video.
SAP sell some great stuff. Great shout
Got the KableCard for Christmas after some investigating. Loving that thing. It's making charging during travel so much easier.
Spirit levels are invaluable as well as compact quick measuring devices in many walks of Blue Collar working environments. Definitely worth sparing a little pocket space. But I admit, I do use my bubble level App on my phone a lot.
One thing to remember is to recalibrate your phone regularly if the level or measurements are important.
The gyro can get out of zero pretty easily as it’s tossed about all day.
I made the mistake of not recalibrating and had to redo a panel in my camper because it was crooked.. lol
Learn from my mistake! Haha
The Silver Fox tools are made by my wife’s brother. So cool. Thanks for reviewing!
How long before he puts out more axes?
He’s making another 100 next month. I’m sure they will go quick
For what it is worth, the quarter is an actual U.S. minted quarter which has been machined. These coins have existed in the magic community for sometime, probably approaching a century. It takes two quarters to make the product shown. One is "hollowed out" to make what is termed a "shell" and then the other is cut down to fit into the shell and recessed in order to hold something inside. That is referred to as the "insert". The ring is commonly called a "bang ring" for obvious reasons. There are many magic effects which rely on this exact or similar machining. Some of it can get really specialized and even involve rare earth magnets, etc. It is a field unto itself. And yes, the same type of coin has been used in the espionage business. Back when silver dollars were still in circulation you could squeeze something quite large inside.
The bubble level should have a way to attach it to string, I think that would make it 100x more useful and accurate in most situations.
And magnetic
And be able to be carried in my prison wallet.
I have one that allows for a string and it works perfectly. I was actually shocked to see this item in the yt rotation today as the one I have is over 40 years old and the exactly the same, except it's steel.
Those are called line levels
I'm a trim carpenter, so that pocket level is definitely going in my rotation.
There's also one made by starrett, don't know about the accuracy of the one in this vid, but have had the starrett one for a while now, and it is definitely pretty handy
They should have made eyeholes on the ends so you could use it as a line level too.
I have one that is a line level as it hangs on a string line!
I've been using the 3coil puna for a while and I love it. Looks cool on my keychain and when I need it, it works great
This is how great Big I Design is. I backed them a few times on Kickstarter. At one time, I backed so many campaigns, I lost track of what I received and didn’t. A year later I’m going through all these past campaigns and I realize I didn’t get one of their pens I backed. Thinking I’m out $50, or whatever it was, I still emailed them and explained. I wasn’t expecting anything due to the time frame and fact that I’m just now realizing this. But nope, they sent me the pen. No questions asked. They already had a customer for life due to their products and KS experiences alone. Couple that with what they did for me, well, I can’t do much more than praise them and support them when I can. And that’s what I do. Great company and people.
Maybe you have a problem if you're spending thousands of dollars in campaigns but don't even remember what you're supposed to receive.
@@scootcha awwww, thank you your concern, but that’s not what I was trying to purvey. Whether I have a problem is irrelevant to the point I was making. However, you sound very smart so I will certainly note your name and DM you when I do need you! Good luck to spreading you help to us all! Glad you’re around!
I’d be terrified of the puma scalpel falling off in my pocket
That card is amazing, I've been looking for a small USB cable/adaptor set package. and that has everything, + wireless charging ? Awesome bit of kit.
Kablekard is the BEST gadget in my EDC. Pair it with a samsung charger and it can charge my Laptop, Switch, Phone, literally anything I am carrying. And then with a couple of decent sized microSD it's also my external storage and offline backup. It is actually obscene how much functionality is packed into a stack of 3-4 credit cards.
*Not sponsored by Kablekard, just a huge fan.
Someone is definitely hiding a few tabs of acid in that quarter 😆
Came here to say the same 😂
OMG that “Covert Coin” I had it in a cheap magic set from the 90s lol. It was the exact same thing & you would write a little msg inside predicting the card they picked lol
Dude, looks like the weight loss is paying off! The KableCard looks kinda cool bro.
Yea! Lookin good
Deadass, probably gonna get the cablecard
No it doesn’t!!! Don’t get his hopes up!!!
@@nopenope7088 My gosh you should just leave if you feel that way, no one told you to comment. He looks good dead serious. Don't diss this man he got knives anyway lol he can protect himself.
@@cannediplays5497 You're the ones who are getting his hopes up! If he ends up crashing and burning at least that won't be on me! Can you say the same? I don't think so!
Hey Tyler! I was wondering if you could do in home gadgets or a camping gear video. Love your vids! Thanks for the many hours of entertainment
That generic window breaker looks exactly like the Stately Asset Productions GTFO bracelet. On their site they actually have a video of them using it to break a car window and GTFO of the vehicle. Just a FYI.
Didn’t find them in my research but if this is truly a knock-off of theirs, I’ll make sure to give them credit moving forward. Hard to know everything but happy to learn about the OG. Thanks for the heads-up!
Stately Asset Productions is an official reseller of the GTFO bracelet. The actual creators and producers are OscarDelta SPD.
This was one of the first weird off the cuff gear reviews that I found useful for myself! Great video, Thank you for sharing :)
The hollow quarter might be interesting in combination with one of those keychains that hold your Aldi quarter. Not sure what you'd put inside, you might be able to file some of the plastic off the back of a Micro SD card - remove the little nail notch tab and maybe it'd fit. You could also probably use it for your cart at Aldi, since you get it back.
Why would you need a keychain to carry a quarter? Just put it in your pocket. The big set of keys is way more difficult to handle.
@@bloodleader5 If you're familiar with Aldi, they have a thing where you have to insert a quarter to get a cart, and you get it back when you return it, so they don't have to pay someone to retrieve carts. They sell the keychains so you don't spend the quarter, and always have one when you get there. It's just a novelty item, but could help you keep the fake quarter separate from your change.
@@RobotMonkeytron if the cost of returning a cart is a quarter, then they should just pay me a quarter to return it
@@Superabound2 They have cheaper food because they cut down on their staffing costs by not employing a cart collector among other things.
I believe the hollow quarter is made from two quarters
Literally looking at your past two odd edc videos today! Great timing Taylor!!
A friend who's an EMT got something quite similar to that bracelet. It has a tungsten "pendant" like yours, it's a little bigger and its circumference is shaped like a wedge not a hobbed gear. The "edge" is flattened, but he says so are the points of many of those plastic emegency glass hammers, and they're it's still pointy _enough_ to do the job, just less accident prone. He tested it in the breaker yard and it worked 1st try, but in the field they have better tools. He still wears it daily though now that he knows it works quite well.
My pocket rulers have long been a quarter (1 inch) and dollar bill (6 inches), but you've got a lot of interesting stuff here!
I got the cable card and after about a month of use the connectors started to work inconsistently. It’s a really great product executed well but unfortunately it didn’t hold up long for me.
I have had mine for nearly a year and it's still going strong.
@@colecrouse754 good to know, maybe I’ll give it another go because it’s a really useful and well thought out product.
Maybe yours was defective, the company might be able to help if you contact them
Same here everything works fine except the lighting connector, but only on my iPhone, charges my Airpods no problem, carry it everyday worth its weight in gold. I also have the 3ft extension version. Trying to make an entire cable kit on the go so I can literally grab and go on a flight or train and have everything I need to charge in my pockets or a small backpack.
That "axe" would make a good knife. Especially for whittling and feathering.
Man the weird finds videos are some of my favorites you do
Lol the small level at least for me comes in super handy when hanging cabinets and pictures and various other things on the wall!!!!awesome for that...
On the tungsten bracelet google the GTFO bracelet I forget where I got it from but it has a handcuff key with the glass breaker
I bought the Kablecard almost immediately after this video… then a six foot type C cord, then an Anker power bank, and the kit grows. Thanks for this video.
You can use the tiny axe for cutting food as well as including it in wood working type usage (notching, whittling etc...).
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE MORE OF! DOPE VIDEO BRO!
The Kable Card would work really well with one of those solar power banks...
That mini axe would make a great knife. Sort of an extended handle ulu.
I carry mine all the time its very useful. Worth the money especially 100% even if you get it international lol Shipping is like 20 bucks.
That USB everything card I found on Excessorize Me’s video a while ago, heck yeah(!), everywhere I go that goes. It has been the best all purpose charger and adapter cord ever. Especially hiking and camping, that has been the lightest most clutch electronic accessory ever. So good.
That covert coin is perfect for physically stashing written passwords for websites or software. Thanks for making this video showing unique items. I'll have to get one.
$30 for that coin is trash
I need one for my coke stash👀
@@Pugrug. you broke as shit if you can fit your “stash” in that little thing
Great video! Interesting to see all the unusual gadgets.
For the edc gear you don’t keep where do you sell it? Or what places would you recommend for used edc gear?
I like the silver fox tools...
The Covert Coin is also used in a magic trick called Scotch & Soda.
If I were a cigar smoker, the axe would be at my side! 😊
Does the mini bolt action have a marker type of refill? I don’t have a lot of use for a normal pen but I have a ton of use for a marker.
Enjoyed this one :)
Which small edc bag are you using in this video?
A cheap, automatic center punch is also a great glass breaker (not to mention an extremely handy tool)
How did you get that beautiful patina on your apple case? Mine look like it.s dirty and an ugly patine, not like the good old apple leather case (iph 11,10)
That mini axe looks fun if you like playing with wood, sculpting or something.
Where's the link for the axe
The axe would be good for spoon carving
Started the video and immediately apologized to my bank account.
I love these EDC videos even though a wallet, phone, keys is everything thing i could imagine ever carrying. i always feel like i might find something that's a must have. Then i see a guy carrying a level and a pseudo tape measure..................................................................
i love the brass kit is sweet ...when the battery dies on the phone ...they work
07:15 The pocket axe looks like it would be good for skinning animals. Skinning can be a bitch and a half without a dedicated blade and dedicated honing stones.
Those silver fox coins are kinda cool!!
The coin would be great for long term storage of a password or account information. Put your password in it, put it in a jar of pennies in the back of a closet.
That pocket axe is so sick! I want it!
The Kablecard is just awsome! Keep up the great videos!!
Cool video, that mini axe is pretty cool!
It's not weird, but I ordered a TPT Slide and it just arrived, already in love.
The con is likely made from an aluminum bronze. Probably something like 89% copper and 11% aluminum. Looks like bronze or copper but has greater strength and lighter weight. You can get the cookie of the metal to mimic gold too depending on the ratios of the metals used.
Put pinky and ring finger through the string on the tiny Axe. Then hold the very bottom with thumb and finger. This will multiply the swinging/chopping power, even on that little thing. Works well for using a knife to chop wood.
Does the ring for the covert quarter fit around your finger?
would probably use the axe as a box cutter, pretty cool axe
"look how sharp this is!"
*Chops the table
Hold hear me out try the little pocket axe like a bushcraft scandi knife widle sticks and stuff or a hunting skinner and it might end up having it's place
I havent seen one of your videos in over a year amd i gotta say your looking great my dude. The weight loss is showing. Keep doing you.
I have that pocket axe and i love it lol i do carry mine and its surprising how useful it is. It is the sharpest of anything sharp ive ever owned or used.
His talking anout choping thing but realy more carving
If you like acid, the covert coin is awesome!
That covert coin is a prop Used in a magic trick called "Salt and Pepper" among other names. Specifically, a Kennedy half dollar is used in the trick.
I like that the hexilevel has a 5 cm measuring tool on it. Perfect for measuring my pen... occhio's nose. Pinocchio's nose.
Stupid question -- who makes the sweatshirt you are wearing and do you have a link handy to purchase??
Hey @Best Damn EDC what's the pouch you show at the very start of the video?
14:24 can this be used on a Keychain?? Is it strong enough to not fall by itself?
That window breaker bracelet is handy, it won't ever be out of reach!
the pocket axe is really cool, i imagine its use is more akin to fixed blade pocket knife
the kablecard popped up recently when i was digging around for something else. guess im truly in the edc world now
5:45 You could make a size that works with both imperial and metric on the same unit. For example 10 centimeters = 3.94 inches. Close enough for any measurement you would make with this tool, I think.
No sense to carry a single quarter? Confirmed, Taylor does not grocery shop at Aldi’s
(A quarter is used to unchain the shopping carts for those that don’t know)
Went there right after shooting this and said, “I wish I had that fake quarter.” 🤣🤣 No joke.
Ngl that first black card thingies is amazing. Too bad it doest have a small battery upgrade. Im gonna buy one!
you could keep a tonne of info in that coin by taking pictures of documents and cutting out the negatives to make microfilms
that covert coin is basically a magic trick called scotch and soda. Even uses a ring to separate the two halves. Pretty neat.
Interesting video, thanks for sharing, subscribed. 👍
New sub. Ty ..amazing channel....im extremely new to this i.... have always carried a folder ...dident realize how much cool and amazing things r ava !!🤣😅
I have a ways to go .. looking forward to the trip
Cheers from Nova Scotia !
WELCOME BACK...welcome back welcome back KOTTER!!!
Currently laughing at youtube recommending me this video because I was watching videos on the EDC music festival
Can’t wait to have that scalpel “trigger” depress and dump a scalpel blade into my pocket unexpectedly. Sign me up!
Taylor, it might not be in your business plan but a BDEDC shop (actual brick and mortar) would be pretty rad to visit. You could set it up where you pay one guy really well to be really well informed. He would be informally known as the Wizard (you maybe? Idk) and the shop would look (resemble) like the antique shop from Gremlins. Maybe tucked away in some remote nondescript mountain hamlet and only subscribers/followers could get the location. Word of mouth thereafter.
I have an inflatable life jacket as part of my EDC. It's kinda an odd ball thing but I need it every day
I noticed a small pouch you took the KableCard out of, what is that?
I think the hexilevel would be more handy if it were also one of those pens that wrote in metal...
Subscribed! I like the unusual, they make great gifts.
I'd take a kablekard twice the thickness if it also had an emergency battery inside of it that could at least trickle charge a typical modern phone to like 5-10% for emergencies
The covert coin would be great for tabs of acid
all the cord card needs is a little solar panel to charge accessories with the sun and it will be perfect
Bro i saw something interesting on you at 9:14
What is that karabiner what brand is it
Let me know please
I love it
Cheers
Edc glass breakers don't get any easier than a piece of broken spark plug. It looks like common junk, most people wouldn't think about a random rock but when thrown at glass is shattered instantly
I would like to have that pocket axe, but the site doesn't seem to have a US dollars option when looking at it. Lol
I almost want the window breaker as a hair-tie. But it would probably suck to take off.
KableCard is cool only for overnight charging. It doesn't pump out enough wattage to watch something at the same time. Only pumps out 5W.
Oscar Delta sells the tungsten beads. It will definitely bust a car window. The side windows are not laminated just safety glass so they shatter easily
The quarter is used for hiding something aka can’t say it. love your channel.
Ooh. The coin is pretty nifty. Seen them throughout the decades, but i'm thinking "fit a microsd card" is _the_ point this era. If you're a photographer or investigative journalist at a time and place where information is dangerous (in many places around the world, it is), then being able to hide your data is critical. Especially if you're a foreign journalist or known associate of foreign media. Whenever you're on the move or not capturing info/data/photos, swap the "real" card into the coin, and put one with some (local!) scenery, social, culture photos and junk data on it back in your phone/camera. A bit torn on whether to go with a local denomination or a common foreign one. On the one hand, a local coin won't stand out if you're searched, but on the other hand, if the detaining authority is very corrupt, or you get mugged, they're far more likely to "pocket" a local coin than a foreign one.
Make sure the decoy card isn't completely empty though, and that the file creation date and EXIF data of pictures on there, along with the actual photographed subjects and surroundings, do not look suspicious. Snap "unproblematic" photos whenever you're in the field so the content and EXIF data appears legit, then modify file creation date and EXIF data to line up with either the current day, or the phone's/camera's fallback default (the date a factory reset defaults to - either midnight 01.01.1970 for computer files, or 01.01.00 (2000) for most modern phones and cameras). If the time stamp clock is off or its at the fallback default, that's passable. But if you've been spotted taking pics, and the card is completely empty, all the pics on it are dated several days/weeks/months back, no pictures of anything local, they are fully stripped of EXIF data, or the EXIF says they were taken with a completely different device than what you have on you - those are all red flags which will *_best_*_ case scenario_ cause you to lose your gear, be extensively interrogated, and if you're a foreigner; immediately deported. So FFS, don't just focus on hiding your "real" card - remember that this decoy card is your alibi. Make sure what's on there, appears legit and backs up your story.
