Appreciate the review Nick! Kindly noting: the sheath you have is the Multitool Push Up (MPU) + XL light for standard tools like a Wave/Charge and 1 inch in diameter lights. We do have two light sizes for this model. The Big Boy, also available in both .91 and 1 inch light sizes, holds larger tools such as a Surge or MP600. All handcrafted in the USA!

Getting pretty tired of the constant reminder that Nick stayed at a Hampton Inn. Not all of us are pulling in that kind of scratch. Way to alienate your audience. Much prefer to get my reviews from a Motel 6, man of the people type.
Can confirm the TOK guys are definitely cool. Have been wearing their keepster on my belt in combination with an urban carvers quick release for almost 3 years.
I once saw a guy wearing one of these or something similar and he looked like a silly goose. Granted he was dressed like he was about to board a yacht.
@@paule2978 I used to use one of these, there'd no way I can fit all my tools in my pockets. I don't think it's kooky or weird at all if you're working. Just walking around the store or something, then yeah weird
@@chimchu3232 yeah exactly this is the sort out of thing I would wear on my belt with my other tools that hang on my belt while on the job It’s not a fashion statement lol
@@andyhayward1261 i like to look like a mix between Detective Gadget, Clouseau and a Colombian McGyver. To me its not a fashion statement its a life style. I have all my tools in my cargo shorts, my leather belt, holsters, sheaths or my cargo vest, except my boot knife and my parachord wristbands and my Casio and my eyewear and my various secret stashes around my body. And the stuff i keyster on a regular basis of course. I like to be ready for whatever.. better safe than sorry. Im a man in control. Jokes aside i think this is kinda neat.. i cant fit all my stuff im my pants in the summers and i refuse to wear a little ghetto drug dealer gucci man purse.
I have owned one of these for a couple years now and it is always on me at work. Has held up extremely well in the steel environment. Wearing it at the small of my back works best for me.
Not my cup of tea. My belt carries a pistol most of the time and that’s more than enough. My knives have “pocket clips” so they go in pockets. Same with flashlights. Same with a multi tool, IF I carry one. I tried to like them but every vehicle we own has a tool kit in it so I have no use for a multi tool - their tools are sub-par in comparison to the actual, real tool. So, it’s just easier for me to go grab the proper tool. The quality of that leather work is “meh,” at BEST. So I’d buy something like that from a better leather worker. I’ve found just about ANY belt carrier to be much improved with canted belt slots; which make removing tools or knives much easier as a result of improved ergonomics. Great review as always Nick!
I’m both, and I can say with 100 percent certainty that if you are a tradesman (finish carpenter here) this is an integral part of my edc. I have one with a pen slot in chestnut brown and it fits my leatherman free p4, tactile turn medium bolt, and Rey light LAN perfectly, and it’s super comfortable for me. Much better than carrying all of that in my pockets.
Although I will say I only carry it at work when I need more pocket space for other things, and I need my leatherman. I don’t carry one outside of work.
He may not be a dad, but he damn sure seems like a guy who would be, and I mean that in the best way (as a dad myself who purchased a loaded victorinox for my pre-birth Father’s Day)
Been carrying ToK for over two years now, shows sign of use but no "wear" in the classical sense. Just very well done leather stuff. Its one of those leather pieces you could give to your kids.
I’ve been able to use and review a few of their products. I prefer the clip when I’m using a sheath for a pocketknife/pen/flashlight so I can take it off in a moments notice. However I love the belt loops for when I decide to carry my Leatherman.
Other companies make them cheaper by using a different leather. The leather they use is very thin. Usually its called crazy horse, or saddle leather, or oiled leather when you look on Amazon. ToK, at least from what I know, uses full grain leather. Which is thicker, and the patina looks far nicer than what you get from the other folks. Plus the cheap stuff doesnt even have a nice leather smell for a time.
Oh boy. That pen scraping the flashlight got me a little bit. You know the squeamish schism of titanium on titanium snaily scrapitude. Thank you for the review Nick! Normal size torso…. Got it.
Dork here. I have worn a similar pouch from another vendor for years. Dunno how long. Since well before COVID. I wear it every day, all day, casually and at work. My work is in an office building. We dress business casual at work, except for board meetings and special events, for which we wear suits and ties. Regardless, my pouch is always on me. We regularly receive visits from the governor, our US representatives, and such. For those not familiar, these people have security details. Their security people never noticed my pouch. I have never had anyone notice my pouch in public, and yes, mine is larger. My pouch is part of my person, like my thumb or my knee. I wear the pouch unobtrusively, like my shoes or my shirt. My pouch does not stick out. I can lay down on the floor and roll around with the pouch, without discomfort. I expected the leather of the pouch to wear quickly, but it has only developed form and a patina. It looks great, after years of use. Tale of knives would have a high bar to beat.
Looks like a nicely made and designed product. I can see wearing it if one does, say, maintenance in a given facility. As a personal EDC item, we're quickly approaching dork territory.
Honestly only reason i use a cheap Amazon knockoff is i javent had time to look through there catalog for one that holds multitool light pen and keys Edit: i felt the same about my first leather belt pouch thingy but now i cant go a day without it on my left side, been looking into a local guy to get a leather phone holster made nkw lol Edit: im 23 and have clearly father type folks ask about it all the time lol, also the gf is always annoyed at the amount of and quote "pokey shit" on my belt whenever she trys to cuddle up to me or something lol
I run a community centre, so I always have to fix things in our dilapidated building and I was really interested in one of these, until I tried a sling bag. I've got most of the crap out of my pockets, all my stuff on my body when I want it, then when I have to meet the mayor I can just take it off and not look like a crazy person. I'm fully converted to small sling bags for my gear.
I got a left side carry t tux without keypster and with the double clip not belt loops the leather will confirm to your waist shape over a couple weeks just proof of quality of leather I added in the notes that I wanted to fit a 1 in flashlight and they did so at no extra cost. One thing I would advise to anyone reading this is size up for for whatever flashlight your getting..great product wear it everyday as iam In the trades
I think this EDC tool holster is really cool and I like it but it's overpriced by a lot I occasionally carry a 1911 with two extra magazines and I use a 1791 Gun Leather holster and mag pouches The holster is $50 and the mag pouch is $35 and they are made out of American leather in America and they still come in cheaper than this tool pouch so like I said I think it's really cool but it's not worth the price.
I seem to recall this on IG... the EDC equivalent of 'you're married, let yourself go!' That said though, you could probably pull it off if you worked on a ranch or farm where it might not look so out of place.
Love your reviews, humor, and great content. I will say that as a Tale of Knives fan -- and EDC aficionado -- I'm guessing most guys who're packing a full-sized Leatherman, EDC flashlight and pen on their person aren't worried about booking a flight to Paris Fashion Week. Also -- just a note that's not responsive to your comments -- these are handcrafted and stitched using traditional leatherworking techniques (e.g., "saddle stitch") which is way more durable than the machine-stitched knockoffs. Finally, comfort is, of course, subjective, but there's a lot of overlap in the EDC community with guys who also conceal-carry, and this is infinitely more comfortable on the hip than any firearm. I routinely forget it's on my hip. Thanks for all you do, Nick, and happy holidays/New Year.
There many makers of these, but they usually use too leather that’s too soft, so they don’t stray flat against your body. Quality counts, but quality costs too!
Strikes me as the option for someone who wants to feel like they are carrying a holster. Maybe useful for a tradesperson but if you have this on at the grocery store it might be overkill when you also have pockets.
I used one for a while, but it started giving me lower back/ hip pain. That's too much weight on one side, unless you carry stuff on the other side of your belt to balance it out. Just a word of warning, otherwise they are great and very handy. Now I have smaller pouches spread out on both sides, no back pain

@@NickShabazz you are not an idiot! Glad to see it came in use even when unexpected for your daily needs.

This says less EDC person and more blue collar worker/ tradesman to me. Which this makes perfect sense for.

The EDC voice of Shabazz is as recognizable as Paul Harvey back in the day:)

Small hands and a normal torso is not a body designed for chasing songbirds.

Do you feel that the clips are secure enough?
it looks like a holster to the woke. speaking of that, is Nick a 2A guy, I hope so!

won’t be hand stitched
Nick is in too high a tax bracket now as to ever again be close to a Hampton Inn, or else he’d have returned that pen…
lol. I wish!
Nope
Do you know if the bench made mini adamas will fit this case or any of their cases
Can you fit a leatherman surge in this??
98 bucks for two bits of leather................

Better than wearing a fanny pack

I admire the way you are inclusive of the nudist community. What a guy! You should visit NC's Bar-S Ranch sometime, perhaps.

I can see this wearing well on a farmer or a deputy. For my personal urban utility lifestyle it's Skinth all the way.
I appreciate the directness of function and simplicity of purpose. Like ceramic blocks on stealth aircraft... if it works it works.

Cool fleshlight, Nick. What's the model?
Lovely
Hey nick, what flashlight was that you where putting in the holster
Very cool product, thanks for sharing Nick!
Batman *finally* has a utility belt. Congrats! 😁
I need a link to that first flashlight
This thing is cool. It's great looking. Thanks, Nick.
Thanks for this one Nick it helped me decide which one to get
Not a fashion concern because it can be easily concealed.
We all know you never had this on your belt
Someone who knows gun holsters made that
Hey chest rigs are at Paris fashion week.
Which Mode is the Little Flashlight in the Video?
Were utility belts *ever* in style?
Nice addition to the Bat Utility belt!
@Nick what was the watch you had on in this video?
Formex Reef GMT
What flashlight is that ??? Looks COOL!!!!!!
Acebeam rider rx
A black version would be cool! 😊.
There is
This is purely an American thing like the Fanny pack. Makes the wearer feel important while looking stupid at the same time.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha! This fits my idea of fashion perfectly.
