One of the more elegant and well thought out small loadouts I've seen..
Why did your username change?
@@projectpinehills Yeah, I can't quite figure it out myself. It may be something deeper in my account settings that I might've inadvertently changed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ralphdoid I didn't know the butane evaporates out of the BIC lighters.
@@unitedstatesirie7431 I suppose it could be unintentionally released if it's crowded.. but I've heard people wrap a ziptie underneath the button to keep it from being depressed..
Butane evaporates out of the zippo lighters. BIC lighters are sealed and have a much longer shelf life.
this is probably the best kit i've seen thus far!! it's interesting having the knipex plier/wrench and socket heads...
is there a reason for both the socket heads and knipex plier/wrench?
That’s a good question. Three reasons. 1. The Knipex Pliers wrench can act as a sort of portable vise. 2. There are recessed locations where the pliers wrench can’t reach. 3. The pliers wrench can open a lot larger than the largest socket I have. Thanks for watching!
@@projectpinehills that's what i assumed :) at least for the recessed locations
I love it. This is a man who uses his tools. From vertically storing them to organizing front to back. Seems like you’ve put in a ton of thought into this pouch. 👍👍
Thanks and thanks for watching! 👍
Absolutely the best edc pouch I've ever seen bravo!
Thanks for the feedback, consider subscribing and thank you for watching! 👍
Great loadout, probably the best I've seen in such a small package. Thanks for putting links to all of the tools, I'll be adding some of these items to my EDC pouch.
Thanks for the feedback. I used this for several tasks and paid attention to what tools I had to run and get and made improvements. Thanks for watching! 👍
Very well put together kit. Thanks!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Anybody who carries Super 33 is a pro in my book. Working on a EDC small bag to put in my Veto EDC backpack. Lots of good stuff in this video. Got yourself a new sub. Good job on the video BTW.
Hey, thanks - I really appreciate the feedback and the sub!! Thanks for watching! 👍
Oh my God I can’t stop watching this. This is the third time straight in a row. I love it. It’s perfect
Thanks for watching!
Nicely thought out
Hey thanks, appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍
Seriously awesome load out in that pouch!!!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍
Great video, and thanks!
Thanks and thanks for watching! 👍
You’ve assembled a great setup sir👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you and thanks for watching! 👍
Thanks for sending me here from your EDC 2.0 video. Great tool kit. Now I’ve added that multimeter to my Amazon wish list. Watching KZhead is expensive! 😂
Thanks right, you can get all kinds of ideas 💡Thanks for watching! 👍
Nice Loadout.. looks like a pretty handy small bag 👍
Hey thanks Morgan! I finally got one of those Olight Oclip lights after seeing them on your channel. I knew if you liked it, it must be good! 👍
Love it!!! I have my tools in the same pouch with a different configuration. I’ll have a video coming soon on it as well.
Thanks, let me know when you post it, I’d love to see it. Thanks for watching! 👍
Nice update. Always tweaking to improve an already well thought out common sense "minimalist" load out.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍
Intelligent kit!
Thank you and thanks for watching! 👍
Excellent!
Thanks and thanks for watching! 👍
Отличный комплект компактного инструмента собрали!
Thanks and thanks for watching! 👍
Top class set up, very similar to mine
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
I feel that one thing missing from this great set of tools is a pair of standard 7WR vice grips. You absolutely need something that clamps and locks. The pliers wrench has done a good job of replacing the adjustable wrench,but nothing has made the trusty vice grip obsolete.
I think that's a good point and I thought about vice grips but I just don't use them that much. It's certainly something you could add though. Vice grips are one of those tools, when you need them, you need them. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
A micro socket set works great. Includes common sockets, torx bits, screw driver heads. Also a small vice grips has many uses. My edc bag is used for enduro dirt biking. So lot of survival stuff.
Yeah I’ve thought about having locking pliers. That would be a good one to add. Thanks for watching! 👍
Great video. I love that ratchet. I use a tool roll so I have larger versions of the knipex wrench and pliers. I have a Tool Check Plus which checks many of your boxes. I use one of those 7 in 1 Wera screwdrivers instead of the Klein which I have in my garage with my main set of tools. I do like that the Klein has another row of bits but the tool check plus has that covered. Great video. I also carry a Bahco folding saw and a pretty versatile K bar fixed blade. I have had to use the saw several times to deal with downed trees of all things that were blocking roads. I’m totally buying a small pry bar for my EDC roll. I also carry a truckers friend. Boy do I love that beast. I’ve used that a bunch of time when I’ve needed a heavy duty pry bar and for demo work. And it has a decent hammer head. It’s a beast and it’s always handy to have a cheap beast like on hand. Although I just looked, they aren’t so cheap anymore. Yikes. I love love love that pen. A bit pricey as plenty of lights and pens in my edc but it’s way cool. You should do an edc first aide video. I’ve got the mother of all first aide rolls in my car that I’ve spent years and years fitting out.
Thank you! You’ve given me a lot of good ideas that I will be checking out. I did buy another pry bar that’s in the video description now. Thanks for watching! 👍
I have a similar loadout in my EDC pouch...but I have some redundancy. I also have noted some items you have that I am going to replace my items with. This was very well thought out and I can honestly say I am proud of my loadout as well, now, given that I see some similarities! Well done, Sir - i am a new sub now also after this video and multiple on the Klein tools you have done - which I am a fan.
Thank you and thank you for subscribing. Thanks for watching! 👍
Love it
Thank you and thanks for watching! 👍
Excellent video and a very well thought out kit. I personally would have included a leatherman surge clone, (for having a saw that takes jigsaw blades) in the place of the knife and the pry bar. And also you would have and a larger cutter
Thanks for the feedback, that’s a good idea. Thanks for watching!
And i would also change the klein 4 in 1 precision screwdriver for the 20something in one
Change to the 27-in-1? That’s some to consider but it’s a good bit larger, but it would be handy.
Those pliers are the only snap-on tool that I own and they're so useful, great quality as well! Love the edc setup man! I might need to swap some tools in my personal edc toolkit and add a small tape measure as well!
Those 7” snap-on pliers were the first snap-on tool I have purchased. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍
Very Nice. You mentioned wire, I'd suggest 24" or more of bare or insulated copper wire (some old romex core), formed into a shape to fit around the outside of the back pockets, plus some safety wire prepared and stored the same way on the other side. I like a set of small needlenose vicegrips (with a wirecutter!), a 6" curved and straight hemostat, some superglue, and a few bandaids. Also, I'd recommend wrapping a couple of feet of quality duct tape around your lighter, and a few feet of paracord. You can add some additional paracord as cobra-knot tied over the handle like a military-style bracelet. A stainless pocket ruler/depth gauge/straightedge takes almost no space, and while we're at it, cut down a pair of chopsticks to fit for lunch, and fine, insulated manipulation.
Thanks for the feedback, you have a lot of good ideas I will be exploring. Thanks for watching!
@@projectpinehills The cool thing about the vicegrips, hemostats, superglue and paracord is they do double-duty as first aid items. If you have a really bad bleed, the vicegrips can function as a large hemostat, superglue can close a clean cut nicely, paracord can make a sling or a tourniquet, duct tape can hold a dressing in place, etc.
Good point, I didn’t think about that.
Zippo makes a butane insert with any torch or flame style you like, also they make plasma/electronic ones
I'll check them out, thanks for watching!
Nice to see some useful full size tools in this EDC compared to the many not so useful micro tools you see in most other EDCs. Not much duplication which is great too! I would definitely check out Titan pry bars in place of the one you listed. It doesn't have the multi functions but if you need to actually pry you won't have to fear it breaking. They also have quite a sharp edge on the one side if you needed a metal scraper in some instances. I was surprised at their quality. You have me thinking on that plastic razor scraper its an interesting piece. I can't imagine this getting much better if you did a 4.0 and I can see the specific items tailored to your needs so you can tell it's been used. Definitely appreciate the links. I will certainly be grabbing up a couple of these for my kit. Subbed. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. The Titian pry bars are a great suggestion, I've added them to the video description. They are flatter and 7 1/4" and definitely would work. Thanks for subbing, very much appreciated!
Very similar to several small bags I have for the car, backpack, etc. I feel like we are brothers from another mother. Some comments: 1. The only Snap-On tools I own are the pliers you show (I have 2 small, 2 large). One of the few Snap-On tools worth the price IMO. 2. I always carry a few wraps of Gorilla Tape around an old credit card. 3. I carry a couple pairs of nitrile gloves and band-aids, as they don’t take up much room and come in super handy.
Thanks, all great feedback. I'm going to make those additions because none of those items take up much space as you mention. Band aids are always something you don't think about until you need them! Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing if you haven't!
Nice 👍
Thanks for watching! 👍
I absolutely love it ❤ the tools are not micro and extremely useful The only thing I would add if there was room is the Knipex bolt cutters 😢 I just don’t see a Way to fit them in there they’re about a half inch longer than the cobras and the pliers wrench best tool loadout I’ve seen yet for the size and I’ve pretty much seen them all. I’m addicted to videos like this nice work man. Epic you’re a legend. 😊
Thanks, I hope you subscribed! lol I've used this tool pouch even when I have larger tool bags to ensure it has what it needs for typical jobs. Yeah Knipex Cobolts would be nice. I'll check and see if they fit. Thanks for watching! 👍
I did subscribe ❤
Awesome! That really helps the channel.
Looks good the only thing I would do different is add some wire strippers
That would he helpful. Thanks for watching! 👍
Practical!!!!!!!
I tried to make it practical. Thanks for watching! 👍
For the lighter get a butane insert and you don’t have to worry about the fluid evaporating. There is normal flame and torch inserts
I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
The only things I have on my tool list misssing from yours are a toothbrush, titanium drill bits, drill guide, knipex twin grips and cobolt cutters, carpenters pencil and a mirror. I realize these cant all fit in the vanquest. This helps me understand how compact this set up can be. I do love the milwaukee 48-22-5506 tape measure and the railer magmat minis though. Also the wiha microbit adapter 75802. I am waiting for the icon long nose slip joint pliers in 7". The 10" snapon ones from your review look a biit mega for my needs.
Addionally the oemtools 26502 scraper is great.
Those are some good points. The inspection mirror and pencil would easily fit. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍
It's almost scary the similarities between your bag and mine. Same pouch, and many of the same tools including brands! A few differences.....I carry a pen sized precision oiler to lube things when needed, some cheap small diamond files, a pin vise and drill bits up to 1/8" (for pilot holes or small drilling tasks). I love that Snap On needle nose pliers, but in mine I carry a 4" vise grip with needle nose tips. Thought that would double to hold things when combined with other tools.
That's interesting they are so similar. I always like to hear other ideas. I all our ideas. I'll have to check the items you mentioned. I like the locking long nose pliers idea. Thanks for watching!
My EDC is a 12 drawer Craftsman toolbox. Yup. Put backpack straps on it and voila......ready to tear down a V8 engine at any moment. I've included a full set of Roybi 18+ power tools with 6 batteries and 2 solar chargers.
Sounds perfect. Thanks for watching! 👍
Awesome setup. I think the only thing I would change is swap the Snap-on pliers for a Knipex electrical installation pliers for wire stripping, cutting and crimpling needs. The Snap-on pliers is a great tool but I could get by with the just pliers wrench, cobra and the electrical pliers.
That’s a good point. I had thought about making do with the Knipex as well. I keep hearing about the Knipex installation pliers, I’m going to have to check them out.
I would agree. Installation pliers give more functionality IMHO. And I would rather compromise without the slip joints rather than compromise wire stripping tasks.
Firstly, great video. Great suggestions for efficient tools and no repetitiveness in monologue. Inspired me to add some items to my collection. Secondly, I have been searching for a hammer option to this size and type of “essential tool kit” style carry. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you! An Estwing nail puller as a hammer substitute would be my first thought. Otherwise maybe a tack hammer. Thanks for watching.
Any other edc pouch that is similar you can recommend since this one is sold out? Great build. Thank you
It appeared to be going in and out of stock. Let me check.
LOve it :) I bought the bag, I like it. I think I need to get a pair of those snap on needle nose or similar tool. I also have the Vim ratchet you showed, and I love it. For awhile it was sold out. What size neo magnet did you use in your bag?
I have a link in the description. Thanks for watching! 👍
The final version! Does that mean you're about to retire? 😜 (A loadout that's stopped evolving is like a tree that's stopped growing)
😁Haha, I had the same thought. I’ve already had some changes I will try from the comments. No it means it will probably be the final video on the subject. Thanks for watching!
Add a hot glue stick to go with your lighter! It works great.
It’s does?
If i remeber correctly you used to have wire strippers? How are you stripping and crimping with this setup? Utility knife and pliers wrench?
Right, I can get by with the knife or flush cutters and pull off the insulation. Thanks for watching! 👍
What kind of repairs do you use this for
Replace a faucet, replace an electrical receptacle, switch, light fixture, replace a car battery, replace a small engine carburetor, assemble new furniture. I'll add a list of things I've made myself use it for when I had a full too bag, to the video description. Thanks for watching!
What is the brand of that small meter?
The multimeter is the ANENG A3008. Here is a link to it: amzn.to/3rfOgj7 I have a video about it here: kzhead.info/sun/q9RvdMttiot8bKM/bejne.htmlsi=T_6b3yDpS7o5ouux
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! 👍
you bring your tools to Electric Daisy Carnival?
I may, have you attended before?
no I havent, it's just everytime I see a video of EDC i think of the music festival...and I was bored so I decided to make the bad joke lol@@projectpinehills
@dnbstreamer ha, that makes sense! Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching! 😁
So your vim ratchet looks exactly like the icon you took the bits from. Why use it over the icon?
The icon would work just as well or you could use Railer bits instead of icon. Thanks for watching! 👍
What’s the estimated cost for this load out?
I’d need to add the total up with the links in the description.
third and final loadout.... lol... you clearly know what you're doing, but since you obviously love tools as much as i do, you have to know that it's eternally evolving. sub'd
Ha, thanks for subscribing! Thats true, always evolving but I was thinking this would be the last video of that setup. Thanks for watching! 👍
Had you ever needed to use that EDC setup.?
I used it several times to ensure it has everything I need. Replacing car batteries, fixing fence gates, replacing carburetors.
@@projectpinehills how much would you say the cost of putting it together if you don't mind me asking?
The one most useful item I see missed is a hammer.
Or a hammer substitute. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! 👍
I’m with you. I don’t carry a traditional hammer either. For no good reason. Although I do have trucker’s friend that I could use in a pinch. I think a small hammer is in my near future.
You can customize it to suit the task. You could fit a nail puller in there.
No mention of the ice pick. Diresta knock off?
The straight pick is from Ullman: amzn.to/3MoqjhU Link is in the video description. Thanks for watching!
Love the videos. BUT, you will never “see me in the next video.”. Video is not duplex. The truth matters so much now days so I think it should even be present during moments of conversation. Thanks.
Thank you and Thanks for watching! I see what you mean, what would you say at the end of the video?
Amazing setup, you literally made the ultimate on the go tool bag 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Maybe a Wera compact driver to replace that Kelin you have the railer for the bits you don't need the bulk. That Vim ratchet blows my mind that can literally replace the screwdriver. I'd add the Knipex Twin grips maybe replace one of the other pliers 😳 You also need to find a solution for lighting, somthing that has a nice flood light, with a magnet (that's compact). If I was being really picky, replace the bits with Makita bits and PB swiss just for the anti-rust and long life, maybe even look into JIS to replace the Philips bits. I haven't done this on any of my go kits, so it's differently a luxury people don't need 😂
The railer bit holder stores bits that are different from what's in the Klein 14-in-1 but I like the idea of looking into a smaller driver, maybe PB Swiss. I think I just like how handy it is to have the bits on the driver and the blade collapses. I could use the VIM, but I like the idea of having some sort of standard screwdriver to reduce setup time/fiddling. I have the Knipex Twin Grips, I think that's a good suggestion too. Always weighing trade-offs. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. 👍
@@projectpinehills yeah I agree on having a screwdriver in the kit, even if the VIM can do it, it's also a redudency if the vim fails you can always connect a socket to it. You've done a great job with it! you've done 90% of the work. A think a good move would be afew wrenches/spanners yes the knipex can do most of this work, but a wrench is different. They are the most handy tool out there. There are lightweight/thin options on the market. Having a 8,10,14 would really make the kit unbeatable. It was my pleasure to watch this masterpiece come together 😂 Thank you for the video and showing me the VIM ratchet!
Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback because it helps me improve the setup, there is always room for improvement!
